If CCP started naming systems or stations after every dead subscriber, it wouldn't be long before all of the EVE Universe would be named after dead people.

Otoh, if you really want to honor your dead comrade, there are ways to do so within the limitations of the sandbox. Serenity Now crashing an in-game WOW funeral comes to mind.

This is the first and only warning I will issue. Do NOT bring petty personal arguments in here. If you disagree with the OP do so politely and then leave. Vitriol, petty insults and mud slinging will not be tolerated on these forums and anyone found to be doing so repeatedly is at risk of a warning or forum ban.

I know that subjects like this can be difficult to deal with, everyone has differing views and thoughts. This is something that can work two ways, it can either benefit the community or it can divide it terribly. Please bear in mind that friends of Vile Rats will be reading these pages, perhaps even his family, we do not know. So I will ask all of you, once and once only, show some respect.

So please, think before you post, and post sensibly - ISD Type40.

As for "Player owned monuments" This sounds really nice at first, but as eve players We'd probably litter eve with them, or sully their meaning by finding some way to abuse them, for example to mess people up by jamming them in inconvenient places. But Nothing stops us from naming any thing that is anchorable in his honor. A station, a POS, a container. w/e you can anchor you can name in honor of the fallen.


Even that can have reprucussions though. I remember taking a station which was named for a deceased player, only to have the corp eve mail and ask for the name to be kept. That is not the sort of choice you should really have to make, ignore their wishes and name your station what you want only to become the bad guy, or have your alliance live out of an outpost named for a guy they never even heard of? In the end we kept it for a grace period then renamed it making sure it a was nothing too flippant. Same goes for pos, someone wants the moon they have to attack a memorial ......

As for the monument thing i do think a monument somewhere that ccp could add the char names (or even portraits) of fallen eve players too would be far easier to work out than personal monuments.

Supported.

To all of those thinking they're funny with crapposting about serious business, pass you way there's nothing for you to troll here. Show some respect and go post somewhere else.

How about a titan wreck in his current system for a week for people to virtually say goodbye to a man they knew in that virtual world. A virtual tombstone for everyone to show their respects.

I petitioned for a monument in his memory but that got locked apparently because it is too similar to this request. Either way...monument, system name change or both. I am all for it. He deserves to be remembered. He did a lot to shape EVE.

Supported.

With such as massive influence (even me, a Carebear since '08 has heard all about him) he deserves something at least.

I understand that people think this will just set a precedent that could be abused in the future.


But there are few other players in the history of EVE that have had the same impact on the game as Vile Rat. He was a well renowned diplomat and a long-tenured old-guard of GSF, the CFC and Eve online... Since 2006.


He even had a hand in the fall of BoB

FC, what do?

I personally think that CCP should honor all lost players...

Maybe a in game graveyard with the players most used ship as a monument...

This is the most fitting than naming a whole system (which given the response from people isn't want they want).

Perhaps take a look at his current ship & fittings, and make a statue/monument for it with his in-game name and a brief "why he means something" for players who do not know of his role in the EVE universe.

That would be the most fitting in my opinion.

Remember the Teskanen Station Memorial Library from Clear Skies 3...? How about something similar, if possible..

For example, a dedicated place in space, with a main structure and one small nearby structure for every capsuleer, for every player that we know has passed away, similar to those multi-part sleeper buildings.
Each individual structure would bear the name of the deceased and the info would allow for a few lines about who he was to the community and those that called him friend.

I respect your sentiment, but it's not appropriate in a video game. We'll remember him always, and knowing Goons, they'll always have some way to be sure he's never forgotten.



Awesome to see name changes above political borders, coming from all over New Eden...

In this game we have differences and explosions.

In the real world we are one community. No matter where from, what religion, what age.

We are bros. The world should look at us.
