I don't make a habit of posting on the forums, but I figured I'd make an exception for this. It's a really nice gesture, Cryptic, and I think a lot of people here on the boards will appreciate it.

    Hmm, I haven't seen that before and I usually end up hanging out in that corner of the park.

    I also like this.

    It has a little plaque talking about all the players that have passed in RL. Over the years in CO and even CoH we have seen a lot of players pass on to that Superhero base in the sky, kudos to the devs for putting this up for them.

    This is a very compassionate gesture by the devs.

    Though I would've laughed guiltily if it were like the Angel statue in Vibora; the statue there is actually just a frozen untargetable NPC. The small flaw with that, the statue in Vibora still has blinking animation.

    So! Very glad to see proper attention was taken care with this.

    Yes, but those are all individual things for specific people the developers knew, like friends and family, not a general "to remember our fallen" memorial for the passed-away members of playerbase as a whole the way this one is.

    Funny you should say that.
    I was just singled out for wishing devices were no more in pvp. (Not nerfed)By a bad self righteous individual. But after coming here, and seeing this gesture by the CO staff/devs...
    It doesn't matter.

    This was truly a good deed, that they didn't have to do. And they didn't ask for any recognition either. The nice ones, do truly outnumber the bad.

    Thanks for the reminder about what really matters.

    I'm glad they elected to keep it nonspecific, so as not to exclude players who may not have been as well known.

    Kudos, Cryptic.

    Yeah, I was thinking about demo_record earlier today and moaning that H20Rat isn't with us to work on it. And that got me thinking about his NWO Foundry scenarios, and his CO cutscene work.... He is much missed.

    It's a very cleverly dedicated monument. The use of this costume, however, is even smarter move. This way the monument may be taken as being adresses at every lost player or developer, but people who were closer with AoC will recognise the costume.

    A really clever and tasteful idea.

    This. I recognized it immediately but because it is unnamed, it is suitable to all the people we have lost. A simple and elegant tribute.

    I gotta say, I saw the memorial and I misted up. I had to spend about an hour in front of it today.

    Turtle? Whoever is responsible for that needs a raise. This is how you deal with a gaming community. I brought a few of his friends that didn't know it was put in, and we all got teary when we saw it. This is MMO gaming done right.
