If you hover over the tag it shows who put it there.

On topic... This was an overwhelmingly heartfelt response and I was especially touched by the image of Codex' name spelled out by players on the beach. May he forever walk in the light of the crystal.

My condolences to his family and friends.

Off topic: i'ts nice to see so much respect, faith in the gaming community is suddenly re-awoken?....lots of us still remember that "famous" WoW incident...

Will the playerbase reaction be like this every time a FFXIV player dies?

You make it sound like as if this is a common occurrence.

Sorry for your loss. You have my Condolences

Well, death is, sadly, common. It is tragic when somebody dies, but people unfortunately die all the time. I don't think he's the first FFXIV player to die, and I'm afraid he won't be the last, either. It's a nice gesture to give condolences and hold in-game vigils, but that it's being done on servers he didn't play on, by people who knew neither him nor anyone who knew him, just makes me wonder if it's going to be like this for every upcoming death as well.

I could only hope so.

Honestly... I don't have an answer for that. But that's not something I'm thinking about when stuff like this happens. We can argue many things from this, which sure that's totally fine to do. But I'd like to focus about what this whole event personally made me feel and not so much how it got here in the first place.

I don't know Codex. I know people that knew him. I know how it is to lose someone. I would never find it a chore to have to pay my respects for him or anyone else who passes on. To me, empathy is a hard thing that I think the whole world could use more of, especially to people behind the monitor.



RIP Codex. You brought a good gift to the many denizens of Eorzea.
