[Request] In game memorial

[Nabiri]

Why is that tragedy more important than any other in the recent past? I don't think real world monuments have any place in game. Just my opinion folks.

I don't believe anyone said it was. This is just one that directly affects us.
I don't believe any one group of people is more important than another.
It's just an idea to honour those friends who won't be adventuring with us anymore in Eorzea. As was said, it could be vague and fit with lore.

The servers got shut down for a week or so, so I'm for it. Plus maybe it'd give the devs some why to express their emotions in a positive way.

I agree with Jibe totally. I can understand why some people would like to see it, but I would much rather them have a Dev Tracked Forum post giving tribute to their people and to people who donated to the relief fund. In game monument? No thanks.

Servers.. shut down for some un-forseen circumstance.. don't equal a memorial - and this is all they're financial statements will state.
Having a memorial to a week of "down-time" is a total waste of time, like the OP hinted at.

I believe it was a memorial to "have a place for players to gather and honor our fallen friends and the heros whom continue to fight for restoration," actually. You know.. actual people. It has nothing to do with servers.

A Statue of Titan Gripping Leviathan about the neck and striking him?

Personally I feel it wouldn't help people who play the game to get away from reality have a memorial staring them in the face about what happened.

It could be hidden. Like around Mor Dhona or something. Inside one of the many useless caves. People who would like to pay it a visit, could go and see the monument. That way no one would HAVE to see it, but anyone COULD.

That still defeats the purpose, why don't you just carv a memorial on a sticky note and jam it on your monitor if you want to always remember and respect. I don't need a monument to remember what happened, and then there is the issue of it being insensitive to other disasters?

Should we have a holocaust memorial ingame? A Hiroshima bombing memorial?

It's a matter of video games not being the place for this kind of stuff.

As I stated before, I totally agree with this. Inside the game is not the place for these things.
