Good guy Blizzard
It's nice to know there is some very real meaning to things in our game. A fitting tribute, to be seen by everyone.
I really, really like the touch they added with the flavor text. This is a nice tribute. One of the many reasons I appreciate how much Blizzard cares about their community.
It's always hard to loose a friend.
May he always stride onward in your heart.
My condolences on your loss. That is a very touching tribute by Blizzard. I hope "Odlaw" because a new loot name callback through future contact like we see with a lot of world drops (Zom's, etc).
thats really nice, and sorry for your loss :/
I get the feeling you know that if you die only your 8 cats will miss you, for about 10 minutes and someone takes them to a new place, and that's why you're mad.
You should try to be a nicer guy, you'll see that eventually you might even make friends and find people that care about you.
My deep condolences to his family and friends, and to all those who knew him online.
To Blizzard, my honest /salute for their goodwill of making an ingame memento of the devoted player, im sure all of his guildmates will cherish the item and the company's gesture.
Another great example that shows Blizzard really cares.
For those who still claim it is just a greedy, heartless corporation, search Google, Wowhead, Youtube and other media for "Blizard memorials". There are many of these little things in the game to commemorate someone who passed away. Be it a 10 year old player who had leukemia, or the brother of a developer.
Repeating the thread title: Thank you, Blizzard!
Perhaps he was more than your "normal person" who played wow, perhaps he helped people and touched more than a few hearts on wow. Perhaps blizzard recognized his work with add-ons and his general good character within the wow community. Perhaps he was the type of person that blizzard would like to have associated with their game.
Always cool when they throw in stuff like this. Sucks about your friend though. Most people deserve a long life. Lame when it's cut short.
I'm very sorry for your friends passing, it's nice there is a tribute to him in game.
