I think a thread where we pay our respects is enough, anything created in game as a memorial should be done solely by the players themselves and not CCP (as it has been so far).
Its good to be [Gallente](http://dl.eve-files.com/media/1209/QEQlJ.jpg).

How about a EVE wide cease fire and meeting in a designated system?

I can't really speak for him, but his reputation would suggest a cease fire is the last thing he would want for this game.

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.

If World of Warcraft can have quest givers named after players that passed away such as Ezra Chatterton, I'm sure CCP can do something similar for players such as Vile Rat. As long as it's done in a tasteful manner and it's not being exploited for marketing purposes, I'm fine with it, whatever it might be.

While I expressed my opinion here, regarding the loss of VR, I can't help but disagree with this.

Players who've died out of game have never been awarded CCP endorsed monuments to keep arguments over favouritism out of the game.

Why not drop an outpost somewhere, make it the official Goon/CFC HQ, and rename it in his honour?

Eve is a sandbox, and a sandbox it should remain. Any monuments to those lost out of game should be player created and player maintained.

Best idea in this thread was the deadspace pocket next to the EVE gate that would operate as a sort of IRL graveyard for EVE players who passed on.

It's poetic and wouldn't affect gameplay in any real way. The EVE gate is the most tangible "connection" between the EVE universe and our own - the point where our universe got severed from the game universe. I like the thought of memorializing anyone who played EVE by giving them a virtual resting place just on the far side of the EVE gate - as if, in death, a small part of them passed on, and made it into the EVE universe itself.

At the sun in Jita I propose that everyone drops a can and re-names it "R.I.P Vile Rat" in honor of Vile Rat, drop by anytime you want and drop a can for him to pay your respects. (People are dropping off cans as we speak)

Like it, have seen a few members of the Eve community pass away over the years. This would be a nice little memorial.

Or as most pod pilots real id's are anonymous, how about one memorial somewhere to the "unknown pod pilot", to mark all of those that have touched our community and passed on.

I was gonna suggest a meeting with a 10min cease fire and then a free for all... But wasn't sure if it was being disrespectful or not.

I like this idea. It is simple, respectful and gives a place for remembering those who touched us.

i really don't see a problem with setting this precedent. EVE would be more real if we had monuments to real players that impacted the game in grand ways. Or naming systems for that matter, it would be much like the naming of modern states and nations.

not to mention, this would probably be an enormous conflict driver, and there are few mmo's out there that could pull this off. by that i mean there are few mmo's out there in which players would truly care enough to defend. Talk about having something to fight over; can you imagine how hard an alliance would fight to keep control over a system named after a fallen comrade? i'm willing to bet that for those that have everything, this would be priceless.

perhaps ccp could introduce a process for nominating a player named system or monument. with enough support a null-sec system could be named after the person's character. i think its key to have the system/station/monument be conquerable.

just a few thoughts anyways...

oh yeah, i support this!

No. Just no. What Rashmika Clavain said. Playing EVE for me is to escape reality, just as I assume it is for everyone else. So a constant reminder of real life would just plain suck. If you really want to make an impact on his EVE career then just post here or on another thread and let go. Its a part of life to accept death.
