Will you help us Honor a loyal Gamer?

That would be awesome!

Turelus · March 2017

First my condolences, it always sucks to hear a member of any community has passed away.

As I am late to the thread I know this has already been said by others but I thought I would weight in. It's hard to ask for a company to do something like this without accommodating everyone.

Now if the person was a large name in the community and knew the developers well it's possible for a pass on it, however if it's someone who the community and the developers didn't know then it's opening a can of worms for requests each time someone passes away.

This is something CCP Games ran into with Vile Rat passing away and their wish to do something for him, I don't know all the details but I know one of his friends and a former CCP Dev come out pretty harshly about how badly CCP fumbled it and ended up making a monument with every players name on.

OP you honour your friend with this post alone!

I hope you do get some kind of memorial for him, it's a touching thread

hydrocynus · March 2017

I love the idea of NPCs for those for whom this game was a large part of their life to the end, for a small part of them to remain in the world forever!

Saturn · March 2017

Interesting idea Tibbs, but I feel like it would leave out a lot of other people. We might have lost a great friend, but the whole Crab-Slaughter-Crane joke is something unique to us, and it's a lot to ask for the Devs to only honour our request, when I'm sure there are a lot of people who knew someone they played with that passed away, seems a bit selfish.

It would definitely be nice to have the ability to create some kind of memorial or something similar with a customisable plaque, so that everyone who's mourning the loss of a friend have some little memorabilia to remember them by.

RapidUrsa · March 2017

This is an awesome idea! I like it OP, would look great above my fireplace!

I'm not being an ass. I'm being realistic.. Yes it's sad that this player died, but to request that the developers stop what their doing to create an item for a single players death is unacceptable.

This is not what I pay my ESO Plus subscription for. The money that I use for my ESO plus subscription should be going for the maintenance of the server, and to provide us with bug fixing patches and future DLCs. ESO strictly related!

Like I said before why can't the OP use a website to honor his guild members death? How hard is it to ask his guild members for donations to use to create the website in his honor?

Unacceptable?? Not really.. Unacceptable would be something like demanding the devs to remake an entire zone to honor their friend, and making it open only to them..

Maybe you don't pay for that, but a lot of other people find it no problem at all.. See it as doing something good for someone

Because this game seems to have meant a huge deal to the player, which makes the game the right place to honor him.. A website would eventually die out, but ingame his memory will live on as long as the game does

This. All of this. We'll ask ZoS to make sure they don't spend any money he's exclusively spent. Meanwhile the rest of the generous community members with large hearts would happily see some of the money we spend go towards something like this.

The problem isn't with this one request, it's with where this leads.

How many more request would ZOS have, how do they choose who is and isn't worthy of memorial, how do they prove a player actually passed away and it's not just a group of friends getting a name into the game with an elaborate story?

That is why, if you've read through the comments, that we've suggested memorial books, shrines and so on, as a general thing.. That way, it's extremely low maintenance once implemented.. Besides, going against something, due to "where it might lead" would make for a very very very limited game/life

BUT if players were allowed to rename-edit objects/trophies then we would not have this problem

I guess the guild could create an event and then anyone who wants to contribute to the guild can ect ect or just pay their respects, you could then get a trophies (or wall mount a fish) and then have a name tag placed under it hung in the hall of fame. how epic would that be?

So just have a placeable item within the game which will display information players enter into it, so a plaque but as an in game item any one can use and name as they wish? That I could get behind.

I just worry for what happens if ZOS make a specific item, NPC, etc. for one person what will be started.

There is already an unkillable bear NPC in Cyrodiil that doesn't move and is in the honor of a player who passed away. Things like this don't lead anywhere, there is no obligation for every request to be made by Zos.

Exactly that.

Perhaps a monument that all guilds/players can buy for their house to contribute to lost players.

But yeah being able to name tag trophies/date them would be good too.

Okay sure, if that's what was being asked before then apologies for not reading the thread in full and seeing that.

If it was something players could place in a home or guild hall which they changed the text on I would be 100% behind that, you have my sub money.

malicia · March 2017

ZoS can actually do so much with this. Most cultures have some way of remembrance, of honouring those who came before us. Incorporating this into ESO wouldn't be too difficult, and can be managed fairly easily.

If ZoS created three Halls of Remembrance, one in each zone, they could easily create a memorial for each player that has passed away. Think of a setup similar to the Museum in Wrothgar.

The process can be simple as well: if a player passes away, whoever wants to create a memorial sends ZoS a certificate of death (to limit abuse), the player's name and an epitaph to put on the plaque, and an item to display. This way each display will be personal, and ZoS will be able to do the same for other players who die.

Very easy to expand on as well. The player's account still exists - it would be easy enough to place a shadow copy of the player's favourite toon on a stand. Someone mentioned a book of memories would also be fairly easy. Allow players to send short entries. These will have to be moderated, but unless we start losing players very regularly this shouldn't be too much work. Once all these are done, lock the player's shrine to prevent having to change or add to it again and again, and add the shrine to the game with the next patch.

Further expansion:
Make the Halls of Remembrance "hallowed" places. Disable dueling, running and skills inside, thus creating a solemn atmosphere.

You guys seem to think I was asking for your opinions on whether or not ZoS should or shouldn't help us honor our fellow guildie.... well you're wrong! This was a question to the Devs to help us honor him.

Better idea would be to write ZoS a letter or email them.

An open forum where other players' opinions are going to be entered (whether you like it or not) is the wrong place for this.

I'm not saying I agree or disagree with the idea itself but you are opening a can of worms when you put this on the general forums.

Serious question and I've seen two pass away in the past year that I've played with and I expext there are others of us.

I had thought about speaking with Zos after the first one left us until I realized it wasn't an isolated incident and could also pose other issues as there is a certain element that have nefarious intentions.

Not trying to be negative about the OPs request. Just sharing the thoughts I had from a similar experience.

Exactly.

And how many people die who play this game and nobody even notices or realizes this? Or are not "famous" enough to receive this "honour plaque/treatment"? If one should receive it - everyone who played this game and passed away for one reason or another should get it - otherwise nobody should, dead or living.

Out of 7 million+ people who played/play here, I'm fairly certain a fair amount would have gone to the other life and I don't think they all would receive the same treatment and honouring.

Either everyone or no one. End human life is equally bad for everyone, regardless of their popularity in-game. A single individual should not receive something other's haven't in this regard because of their former status in the game.

I saw it on a stream by Deltia and he mentioned it as the group was moving by the bear during the stream. Was a member from one of the guilds he was in.

Wrathmane · March 2017

My condolences for your loss. I would think that there have been many very good ideas suggested here. I mean how hard is it to make a text editable plaque for your house/Guild hall as a furnishing piece. This is something everyone can use and it will make the OP happy as it will allow them to honour their fallen member in their guild hall.

I even don't mind the idea of having his character sitting at a fishing hole somewhere.... I mean how hard would that be? the account is there the toon is there just place it uninteractable and unmoving somewhere.

Just my humble opinion.

This. All of this. We'll ask ZoS to make sure they don't spend any money he's exclusively spent. Meanwhile the rest of the generous community members with large hearts would happily see some of the money we spend go towards something like this.

The problem isn't with this one request, it's with where this leads.

How many more request would ZOS have, how do they choose who is and isn't worthy of memorial, how do they prove a player actually passed away and it's not just a group of friends getting a name into the game with an elaborate story?

Take the time to read this if your can: https://www.themittani.com/features/monuments and it explains a little of why I am cautious about ZOS taking this action.

There is already an unkillable bear NPC in Cyrodiil that doesn't move and is in the honor of a player who passed away. Things like this don't lead anywhere, there is no obligation for every request to be made by Zos.

where is this bear?

According to the replies in this post I made awhile ago, near Vlastarus or Roe/Alessia:

Yeah I found that on search earlier but it's the only info on it, and I sceptical to believe a single forums post from someone who heard it from a friend.
