WOW… An Online RPG Funeral Gets Ambushed

jp @ 9:58 pm

For anyone who doesn’t know what WOW is:

World of Warcraft or otherwise known as simply, WoW is one of the most popular and successful computer games in history. It is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game that 6 million people pay $10 -15 per month to play. This type of popularity creates a sample size that is large enough to reflect the forces that control it. In Layman’s terms, with this many people playing this online game at any given time human nature tends to get a stronger representation.

Now it appears a popular WOW player died in real life, so people decided to have a memorial service for him within the WOW world. Now another guild heard about this and decided to crash the memorial service and video it so here.. watch the video. - or watch it here:

  1. I question the upbringing of anyone who would crash a memorial service. That it was online, in the middle of a game, is no excuse. It still represents people saying goodbye to a deceased individual.

  5. It was a girl that died as far as I know. Its pretty fucking hilarious though I must say. If her dying really meant something to them then surely they could do more than just standing at a river in a game ffs.
