| Wow...a funeral(raid)

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.
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 for everyone to see.

| It's a gaming server where people kill each other. People did so. What's the matter?

| They had a realmwide agreement that no one would grief kill any of the players that were there in a remembrance to a player that died.
Then some guild came and wiped everyone out. Kinda funny if you ask me. | |

| The emo kids. Casey was a cool friend of mine and i was on good terms with her brother and sister so i did it out of respect no matter how homo-erotic it was.
The way i saw the whole ordeal was like an interactive version of a goodbye thread on a forum.

The thread that this was posted in had a reply posts under the initial post that said "im willing to bet 10 bucks that someone ****s with this" and that must have triggered the event.

| Serenity Now? I swear there's an Alliance guild by that name on Silvermoon...
I think it's nice that people paid their respects like that. Would've been cooler if they fought off the invaders... | |

| Notice that they were all wearing black, some in just tuxedos as opposed to SN who was all geared out ready to pvp. Take a good look at some of the tauren warriors at the front and you'll notice that they dont even have weapons equipped.

| My feelings are torn.
On one hand it was incredibly cool
It was also completely under handed and very assholeish... | |
