I support the idea of some kind of memorial / monument in honor of VR.

Just rename whole Eve online to Vile Rat online. Also there should be 30m statue of Vile rat in the center of Reykjavik. Client should aslo remind you "RIP VR" every time you undock, dock, refit, gate jump, loggin and logoff. SIGNED//

An ingame monument at the location where his character is currently located would be fitting.

Renaming a system.. I dunno, might be hard to implement.

If a monument is too great then perhaps a new ingame NPC called Vile Rat with Vile Rats ingame portrait?

Something like that is fitting.

I think a memorial to all pilots that have passed on would be good rather than an individual one, Some like VR (RIP) are known to the community, but many others will slip away quietly not having been as well known. Something to remember them all would be good. A little monument to mark all those that have passed on in a quite corner of EvE.

CCP should take proposals such as this under consideration on a case by case basis. There are many in Eve who have been killed in war, muggings, etc....

Vile Rat should have some sort of honor. Perhaps his character as CEO of an NPC corp? Something. His contribution to the game and the manner in which he perished, deserve some sort of recognition in my opinion.

I deeply respect on honor Sean VileRat Smith but am against such move....

Maybe create a system only for the people who have died fighting like Sean VileRat Smith ...... Make this in a high sec System put some kind of a memorial in that system .... Make it in Highsec...... There are many out there who have died for their own nations and where EVE players...they also deserve the same respect and mourning we give to VileRat

The best idea I have seen about putting up a monument for VR was rewriting the description on the Diplomacy Skillbook.

Not everyone travels through a system with a monument, but pretty much everyone has the Diplomacy skill injected.

I like this idea. Very classy.


I agree, this.

Very classy, and everyone is included.

Woah that's a cool idea...

However I think it'd be a great time to approach a more permanent solution such as being able to purchase/request a monument for a player.

I think we all know that EVE is a serious game now and not just another MMO in its infancy, so it'd be worth the effort IMO.

Bit over board dont you think ? Roll

If you don't like it and it doesn't affect you, you really don't need to comment.

How about you guys treat all death with respect and don't harrass those grieving.


Interesting...

Someone earlier thought it was bad to judge individuals on their actions or behavior, but it's OK to judge entire groups of people based on the actions of other members of the group? I think not.

Actually, it is *this* type of thinking that leads to the violence that started the protests, riots and deaths. It's this type of thinking that starts most wars.

Ascribing the actions of one to the entire group he belongs to, and transferring your hatred for one onto the others of the group is at the root of the problem.

I believe that making him become a NPC would be a very nice homnage to his memory, make him part of th egame lore as he surelly is.

My personal opinion, as an EVE player, is that this is a great idea. Perhaps have one in each of the four main trade hubs, that way everyone can see one.

Every time some [influental eve-person] dies this and similar ideas gets thrown around. And I'm still saying no, and I would still say no even if it were for Chribba Reasons as to why have been stated many times before me. If you want to remember him, carve his name in to granite and bury the slab somewhere - this memorial would be guaranteed to last quite a long time.


EDIT:
I would cautiously support a general monument for pilots passed. There's probably hundreds of players who have died without nobody knowing of their passing.

Saddly , that would demand inteligent beings, something quite scarce these days.
