Deceased player statue

[crc0427]

I had posted this a while back but had never heard a response from a Dev so hoping to get one this time.

Back in Oct we had a long time friend (as far back as FFXI launch) pass away due to systic fibrosis. It would be nice if we could have a character model statue with his name engraved if you click it. Even if we have to pay for it on the mog station.

I'm sorry but I'm not with this. Mourn in your own way.. you and your friends are not stopped from doing an in-game memorial through RP but to ask the Devs to use resources for a memorial for some player only .01% of the playerbase even knows is sort of a waste.

Them putting it in Mogstation would be profiting off of someones passing. I don't put it too far from the Yugiri voice actress passing and having SE profit from that.

I highly doubt it would take up THAT many resources, Morbid. The data's already in the game, it's just a matter of assigning it to a miniature statue, I think.

I'm with Morbid. I think the Devs should stick with game affairs, and not be involved in the real life affairs of other players in such capacity. It's opening a massive can of worms that's best left untouched.

I agree. I can see this easily being abused and a pain for SE to try to verify.

No I do get that part man. I'm not saying it would take months for them to complete something like that. The strongest issue for me honestly is just a corporation such as SE profiting from such a practice. This may say a little about the limitations of FFXIV and a sandbox like creation mode for furniture..

I don't mean to spoil the passed persons memory or say the resources aren't worth it.. that's too blunt of an explanation.. you feel me?

Ah. That makes sense.

While it is sad when a friend passes, there are most likely hundreds of players who have passed on. This is more than a small thing you are asking, it is not a one time, for one person thing. I realize you want to honor your friend, but personally I find this request a little morbid.

Well they could give us an editable(meaning dye it and customize what it says) headstone/memorial as garden furniture and it can be dedicated to the player or npc chosen by each individual. It seems a bit morbid, but I think that 1) it's a good compromise on something like this, 2) it would be beneficial to the players who want it, and 3) it could enhance the rp experience for some players(as some are currently using those massive garden rocks as memorials). They could be traditional western ones or "doman" ones, and craftable by GSM.

Outside furnishing headstone that can have something typed on it would be nice to implement and OP I feel for you, we found out a couple weeks ago our new born son is a carrier.
