World of Warcraft Funeral Gets Ambushed

Postby j.23 on Wed Apr 12, 2006 1:07 pm

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: personally i don't know jack shit about this game, but what these guys did was pretty hilarious. long story short, a person that played this game died in real life, so a bunch of people decided to hold a funeral for her on warcraft. actually better yet, read this

World of Warcraft, otherwise known simply as 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.

The first "reality" check was a bug that caused a plague to outbreak and affect people's characters in certain cases instantly killing any player below a certain level.

The second "reality" check was when this group of Warcraft players otherwise known as a guild interrupted a memorial service. Apparently, some dude dies in real life who is a popular WoW player. The people in the game think it would be nice to have a memorial for the player so they log into his account, take the character to a lake, and set it up for everyone to come pay their respects.

A bunch of dudes decide this would be a great time to ambush everyone so they run over a hill, kill the dead guy's character, and then wipe out everyone who was there to show their respects. They filmed the whole thing and put it on the net.


http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7667194685876573666&q=serenity+now

edit: just another account as to what happened

There's this guy who is well-known by the WoW community. He died of cancer and the WoW community decided to host a funeral to honor him. This idea was brought up and discussed in a WoW forum elsewhere. Everyone was to meet at the lake in the middle of nowhere, line up, and take turns expressing something at the lake.

This group called "Serenity Now" decided to take advantage of it. They teamed up and ran all the way out there. When the moment was right, they all barged in on the funeral and did a mass killing on everyone who was at the funeral. No one stood a chance and everyone died.

The way the killings work is that if you kill someone, you gain points, items, and money. Killing a person of higher ranking gives you a drastic increase while killing someone of a lower ranking gives you a minimum increase. Since everyone who attended the funeral weren't teamed up, they had no chance to defend themselves.


pure comedy. assholes, gotta love em :lol:

It gets better, I found some quotes online... it's impossible to read in the video, but here's the announcement of the funeral:


"On Tuesday of February 28th Illidan lost not only a good mage, but a good person. For those who knew her, Fayejin was one of the nicest people you could ever meet. On Tuesday she suffered from a stroke and passed away later that night.

I'm making this post basically to inform everyone that might have knew her. Also tomorrow, at 5:30 server time March, 4th. We will have an in game memorial for her so that her friends can pay their respects. We will be having it at the Frostfire Hot Springs in Winterspring, because she loved to fish in the game ( she liked the sound of the water, it was calming for her ) and she loved snow.

If you would like to come show your respects please do. Thanks everyone"

"We're planning some cool stuff and we're going to make a video of it to show her family . So I would appreciate it if nobody comes to mess things up."


Then comes the aftermath:

"Even in her death, she has contributed to the server by giving us a sweet 19 honor. I would like to thank her for that."

"Yes, its real easy to be an asshole behind a keyboard and get away with it...Shows just how well shit clings to the asshole ...Example: azchira and his band of dingleberries."

"53vs20, even in death she's terrible @ WoW."

"Dont worry riise, you are getting camped if I see you too. Guilt by association is a bitch."

"Grats martel for being guilded with fucking morons. You are added to the to be camped list."

"QFT, RIP Fayejin -- we certainly don't want her coming back from the grave, rolling an undead shadow priest, and joining the league of terrible players illidan has come to know oh-so-well."

"I feel sorry for you being guilded with people such as the ones who tried ruining the memorial, clearly, you dont care too much. Expect to be camped by a majority of the horde now, as lots of guilds have learned about tonight."

"Clearly rank = skill, sorry but I do not relegate my entire life behind the keyboard playing wow. Or posting on forums containing as many tards as this one."

"oh noes people will camp me.

/care"

"Well as long as you agree wholeheartedly that some of your members are inconsiderate pricks,..... I am a complete asshole but I would draw the line when someones having a memorial. But thats just me, maybe its cause I have sex once in a while and I dont have all that pent of aggression. Look at donzia, hes got a shit ton of it."

"Wow only 20? you guys must be PVP gods!!! i mean shit if i could AE bomb unsuspecting people wearing no gear, i would be good too... right?"

"I hope azshira's dad dies of a heart attack, then at the funeral some guy runs in naked and pushes the coffin over and runs around slapping people screaming LOL OWNED, then releases a video of it."

"Im sure if we had the money to fly everyone in RL to one location im sure we would have considered it, however, we dont, and this was the only way we could get together and do a memorial.

Congradulations you have stooped lower then any other guild in MMO history."

"rofl

nerd rage is the best rage"

"YOU WANNA DUEL ME?"

"
I'm sorry this whole the internet =/= real life thing is flawed to me... yea killing someone in a game is not the same as killing someone in real life but the internet is still part of real life.

People were sad about someone they knew dying and instead of saying "hey, sorry your friend died" you spit in their face just because you can and then argue omgz liek buts its pvp server kekeke

Your still assmonkeys in real life and on the interwebs whether you got "honor" points for your actions or not.

Congrats on a new personal low. /golfclap"

"logic? like comparing a funeral with an rp-dorkathon event in an online video game?

when someone i know dies, i truely couldnt care what people think online or otherwise, nm what they do in a pvp video game.

i learned the whole sticks and stones verse in gradeschool, perhaps you should do the same

btw i cant wait to watch me get the killshot in the video"

"I actually think if his dad died IRL he'd be pretty relieved... since as we all know he's been fucking Azshira in the ass since he was a wee tot.

Go for the moms imo.

And if this was actually real and some chick died, your actions albeit "virtual" really show your true colors. It's just about the most disrespectful thing you could ever do in-game. In fact it's so shitty that even if one of YOU died IRL, I wouldn't wish the same upon you...

Grow up and have a little respect for your fellow human beings."

"I'm curious how you guys could POSSIBLY have organized this event, and post it not on the Illidan forums, but on Illidrama, where 50% of the posts are made by Serenity Now. Not only that, but you expect Serenity Now, the guild that considers it their personal duty to own horde 24/7, to leave you're event alone.

Bad planning IMO. And, with your post before of "I hope nobody screws up this event", it seems as though you were just asking for trouble.

You should have brought a better honor guard for fayejin, IMO. "

"clearly your attitude shows you are a prior victim of it. Or did you even get past kindergarden?"

"ohsnap, he pulled out the "You should have learned that in kindergarden" insult. It's been a while since I've seen that one."

"Yea blame the people who were just trying to show some respect for their friend the only way they could.

I doubt any of you who participated in trying to ruin it ever had someone close to you die irl, or at least not someone you actually cared about.

I'm fairly sure even four year olds know to respect the dead, maybe you can learn something from them SN."

"
Are you mentally challenged or something? You totally miss the point, and are trying to justify piece of shit actions that only the most inhumane, ignorant, and disgusting people would think is funny. They weren't RPing...someone dying in game is different from someone dying in real life, I don't what is so hard to comprehend. Anyone with a conscious knows it's wrong, and to defend it in any way is ludicrous and appalling. This kind of behavior isn't "cool" or "hip".

If this sort of thing gets you off, go book yourself a room in your local asylum imo.

And yea, clearly you do what you want, without any sense of decency or regard."

"They are RPing till someone shows any amount of proof.

"HAY GUYS RIZEN YOU MIGHT KNOW HIM AS THE WEAPONLORD DIED THIS NIGHT OF A BRAIN TUMOUR. HE LOVED THE MOLTEN CORE SO PLEASE STAND OUTSIDE THE CRYSTAL IN AN HOUR FOR A MEMORIAL"

^^

That has as much validity as what they posted about her dying.

btw I'm so getting off right now to people killing people in a video game memorial. Best climax I've ever had."

"Performing memorial services for the death of a friend, even if done in-game, is not considered roleplaying. Might want to learn what a word means or what qualifies as such before you start throwing them around in an argument. Just a tip!"

"Roleplaying is when I dress Rombus up in his nurse uniform and have him take my temperature rectally for our own personal amusement."

"I'm not laughing over death. For one I don't even know if she's really dead. Excuse me for being jaded desensitized asshole but some random e nerds word isn't good enough these days."

" fail to see how you let anything that transpires in a video game make you sad...

if video games make you sad you need to find a new outlet.

tbh some comments were abrasive, they're allowed to feel however they want to feel, just like i have 100% no issue with someone in our guild being upset at us for what we did... that's up to them, people are allowed to have feelings.

when you play the immaturity card while freaking out over something that happens in a multiplayer pvp video game... i dunno to me it doesn't make sense. There is truely nothing that can be done or said by internet strangers that would aggravate me to this extent, or any extent really. k be upset, but get over it, otherwise take a second look at that "immaturity card" in your hand"

----------------------------

K here's the really rich stuff lolol at wow players.

"I'd call you homosexual but from the looks of your picture IRL it wouldn't be much of an insult."

"I'm sorry those were girls in my pic. I know they are probably unfamilir to you but trust me they are out there. If you're gonna try to insult my looks please have some backing and decent looks yourself."

"Yeah, Girl "Friends".... its okay. Everyone knows that gay kids have shopping partners."

"Your all a bunch of fucking attention whore idiot kids. Go fucking outside or something."

"
I don't really know what to say, I guess I'm similar to daishinzo in the sense that I could care less if someone dies that I've never heard of.

edit: to elaborate- killing people in a video game is fun, killing nerds who think that having an e-memorial is a good idea is 10x more fun. I mean really, you positioned the character right next to the lake then all gathered into a line, wearing tuxedoes and dresses. When I heard Azshira describing that to me over vent I was in ZG killing bloodlord. Everyone in vent then bursted out into laughter at how rediculous it was. You can't expect me to take me to take what you did seriously. I also can't show anyone respect when I'm not being serious. sooooo, in short, it was a fun event, please schedual another sometime and post the date/time/location on a public forum so SN can pay their respects, thanks!"

"Regardless of all this ridiculous drama, does anyone else still find it beyond comprehension that penis head boy with a receding hairline somehow has the audacity to make fun of other people's looks?

i mean honestly, youre one of the ugliest fucking people alive donzia. How in the world you're not humble about looks is beyond me."

"Cereph's jealousy of my looks is a really nice touch to the thread. imo"

"Cereph, jealousy is showing a bit too clearly here. Don't post about me and it won't so plainly obvious. Everyone on WoW is ugly, the fact that you go out of your way to post about me just signifies that you want to be me.

Basic psych kid, so your teachers in elementary school had to tell your rents you suffered from a low self esteem "

"sorry donzia, but you're once again wrong. The fact is, I don't care enough about anything said on this forum to post about it. I find the fact that someone as blantantly ugly as you thinks that he can make fun of others looks to be highly amusing and acutally worth pointing out by taking the time to make a post.

BTW, I really hope you weren't a psych major in college, because you're absolutely terrible at it. The fact that the only reason I've ever felt the need to post is to belittle you simply means that this video game means nothing to me, and the drama all you retards love to create here and in-game to me is simply a waste of time and not in any way useful to my life.

Now, making fun of a dumb fucking cunt like you, who has no right whatsoever to EVER belittle someone, THATS worth posting about.

When you're not the ugliest person on Illidan, aren't the biggest retard on Illidan, and you don't have a faggot ass parrot, THEN you can talk to me and maybe I'll actually consider what you say. Until then, I'll just giggle at how every single post you make is a repeat of another post or a completely unoriginal bash with slang/witticisms that are blatantly stolen from others, and how you try and make fun of people's looks when pretty much everyone here would stick a shotgun in their mouth and pull the trigger if they had to look like you for even 5 minutes."

"Actually you're an ignorant hick that loves to flame others on the internet annonymously because your self esteem is so low you can't get that kind of satisfaction in real life.

When you're not busy spamming nigger this and nigger that on a forum, you're posting donzia this and donzia that.

I realize I am your hero and everything but you really need to take my balls out of your mouth.

I love the redneck terminology "dumb fuckin cunt" LOLOLOLOL I can just hear you saying it IRL in some fucked up thinks he's hard hick accent.

Let's put it this way, you talk shit on the internet because you can't do it in real life. We've all seen your picture, i'd make a fool out of you in one hit because you're a broken little kid who probably got beat up in kindergarden. Box IRL? No thanks, but if it happened 1) you may not feel the need to post anymore and 2) you'd get knocked the fuck out

thanks"

"This is my favorite part about your unintentional hilarity donzia. You completely make shit up about people out of the blue because you're so pathetic you have no factual basis on which to attack people.

My arguements against you:

You're ugly as sin, yet you make fun of people on a regular basis for looks (fact)
You are a giant moron that makes posts that are carbon copies of 20 other posts you made, most of which are completely stolen from someone else (fact)

Your retorts:

I'm a hick (pulled out of your ass and made up)
You can beat me up (pulled out of your ass and made up, and likely highly untrue you fucking computer geek)


The absolute best part is that you are possibly the biggest hypocrite in the history of the internets. 90% of the time you run around these forums with tough guy talk insulting everyone and basically being an anonymous ethug. The other 10% of the time you call people that are being ethugs "internet tough guys" like thats some kind of insult, and generally also calling them rednecks and saying they had bad parents. DO YOU NOT REALIZE THAT THE ONE PERSON THE SHIT YOU SAY APPLIES TO THE MOST IS YOU?? IF YOU CANT SEE THIS THEN FOR GOD'S SAKE END YOURSELF NOW, ITS NOT WORTH THE TIME YOU'LL WASTE ON THIS PLANET."

"OMG LOOK AT ME I AM TYPING IN CAPS GUYS THIS MEANS I AM REALLY MAD.

Hell you want to be just like Donzia, but you are doing a terrible job of emulating my post style. Study up on your hero a little bit more."

"Wow, I'm disappointed in you. If thats really the best you can come up with, you're not even worth the time to flame."

It's funny because it didn't happen to me.

I installed WoW once, and used my next door neighbour's account. Pretty fun game, except the map is so big that you have to walk everywhere... which is a pain in the arse. Plus it takes too long to get good and i don't have any patience.

That's why it's called Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) Nick.
That maps are supposed to be big and getting good at it takes too long which is the case in most RPG's.
