This post got my attention.

Love the idea.

Trying out all the things to do here in Eve - it's quite a checklist. So I made a blog Jakob's Eve Checklist

An exceptional idea that deserves to be a priority of the highest order. Support!

Maybe a monument in jita saying

"to all those who have fallen before their time"

or something like that... keep it respectful for sure, but making a sort of hall or fame? nah that is wrong imo.

Let people mourn in their own way, its a personal thing... not something that need broadcasting. This would just be abused and you know it!

Cheese, I respect your opinion, but I'm honestly not sure what you are reading that makes you think that?

I like it, kind of has a "tomb of the unknown soldier" feel to it.

And as mentioned before the ultimate light fading into the ultimate darkness has a fitting and kinda eerie symbolism to it

I support this idea and hope to see a Ring of Fire soon. I agree it should be a general memorial, as well. +1

I don't think I have any ideas that are any better than those suggested so far. Props to the OP for a well stated and thought out post. I fully agree with the OP in every way. There are those that argue that a memorial of anything in reality is something that does not belong in the game. I disagree. We all enjoy playing EVE. That is the common bond we all share despite whatever style we choose to play and what alliance we are in. As human beings it is not a bad thing to remember or even be reminded of the fact that we are mortal and of those that have passed before us. Friends or enemies alike.

I truly hope that CCP takes some time to show appreciation and respect to those players that have passed on. An in game memorial near the EVE Gate is, as stated in the past, not only the perfect place for such a thing but such a poetic and appropriate one. We all want to return home one day...

Bounties for all! https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=2279821#post2279821

Another epic idea from Rixx. Wholly supported. Get on it CCP.

To be honest, they should give you a job Rixx. They did it with Raivi (heart CCP Fozzie), and others, so why not you!?

I've seen such requests in other games I've played, and they've been flat out denied by game developers, or even worse, completely ignored.

Why do I think it's a good idea and something CCP should support? Forget the "rightness" of the gesture, that is something that anyone can argue as perspective. To me, it would be one more positive effort that differentiates CCP from the rest. They are involved with their community. They listen to their community. They care.

It's not all about bottom line and profit margins. Sometimes it is about the rightness.

Never start a fight you can win.

There's only one "Ring of Fire" I know of and I have to take medication to suppress it. That or sit on an inflatable donut.

I see you've overcome your forumfear Rixx.

I like the ring of fire idea, as long as it's in a deep dead end losec system like the EVE Gate is.

It needs to be deep enough that the casual ganking pirate/gang will need to travel at least 9-10 jumps each way (as will visitors). If there is a system like New Eden elsewhere on the map (on the opposite end is a nice touch) that would be a good point.

It wasn't "fear" exactly, more like aversion. But, granted, it does have its uses.

Loving the idea with the ring of fire system.

I'm torn on the proposed system name, TBH.

Basically, more people are going to die the longer Eve exists. It'd be too much to ask from CCP to add a new system for each and everyone.

Therefore I'd like to see a monument/system named in a way that everybody - young and old - can identify themselves with.

(And yes, I'd love the idea of everybody getting a star system named after themselves.)
