In memory of Codex Vahlda

[Renik]

My condolences.

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

I see your point, i still remember a beta tester who passed before the release of the game, a friend of his made a thread but we couldn't freely access the game back then. This is just an idea, but i think we could do this every year to remember those who are no longer with us, not only Codex.

This is actually a good idea. As was stated before, not everyone who loses a fellow player goes to the forums with it, or notifies the public. They may want to keep it a private affair, so as not to intrude into a family's moment of grief. Some people find this sort of thing awkward. They can't really understand why strangers would do something such as this for people they don't know, or they find it cheap and silly because "it's just a game." This isn't something that can be done every time a fellow player dies because it relies on getting the word out, and that doesn't always happen.

If you want the community to be able to show support for all of their fellow players who pass, the best option is this idea. Pick one day out of the year to do a player run event in game and a hold a vigil to remember those players who have passed.

I wondered how long it was going to be before this kind of pusillanimous posting would appear. As for being like this for others, well, I would certainly like to think so. More to the point, what kind of person would even feel motivated make such comments.

Death is a touchy subject. I wasn't looking to start a fight. What kind of person would feel motivated to make a comment like yours, then?

That is a nice idea. Maybe SE could even make an annual in-game event to "remember the fallen".

I like that idea! It'd be a remembrance event, The Black Shroud seems like a fitting area with the moogles and talk of elementals and such

My sincerest condolences from Phoenix. May you rest in peace.

Sincere condolences from Cerberus. Losing a friend/family member is always hard, and though games have created long distance relationships, these bonds are nothing to laugh at.
Friendship and community transcends that to the best.

I think this would be a great idea it they fit it for the death commemoration each year. Sincere thoughts for the fallen.
