Not everyone uses the forums, that's the thing!
Also, it shouldn't be user-run because well, users block each other. Imagine if whoever made the thread was someone that's pretty speedy on the block button - they'd miss a lot of names.

I wouldn't mind an official page of those who passed. But it seems there are people who wouldn't want to be on it. Fair enough... Though, when we're buried, we're in a garden alongside others who we never knew and others who never knew us will also join us...
Memorials are mostly for the living, for those left behind... So i'm on the fence about this. If this were to be implemented, it could be done for future users that could pass away - knock on wood. And those that already passed, could just be ignored. or have their families decide, if there's any way to contact them. And we should have the option to choose if we want to be added or not.
I really have to update my blog ObscureJourney and my review site BeingObscure. French speakers can read my reviews here.
Even if I hadn't lost friends here I would still support this lovely idea ❤️
I like the idea of being able to leave flowers, letters (private of course) or public notes on deceased user's profiles. And maybe have a memorial park on site somewhere with people's names. This should be something people opt into though, imo. We shouldn't assume everyone would want to be a part of this. (Count me in though!)
This maybe a sensitive/personal thing for people so it's a No
Looking for these : x100
I think both sides have some good points, but the thing is, there are probably loads of deceased users who haven't had their accounts marked because no one knew they passed away and they didn't have anyone they knew in real life to inform anyone on here. I'm most likely going to be one of them. But even if I wasn't and my account did get marked, I wouldn't want to be on a page with other users not because I didn't know them but because of the publicity. Besides, a lot of users don't like me and have me blocked, and I don't want them to be guilt-tripped by seeing my name on there every time they look at that page.
I agree with other people's ideas of being able to leave items or a message on their profiles. This year was the first time a user I talked to regularly was lost (Mallory, may she rest in peace) and we had a forum thread where we talked about what she meant to us, but that will likely be buried under many more threads eventually.
No support. I think this is a lovely idea and a kind gesture, but something about it...I don't know, doesn't feel right to me. and bring up really good points as well.
I think part of my reservations towards this idea is that...this is an online game. And though we are somewhat of a community, we're not that close of a community. I also don't want RL deceased people tied into on-site events (such as Survival and potentially leaving flowers for RL people at the Centropolis memorial).
Deceased users we are made aware of already have their profiles memorialised, but having the ability to leave messages or items on their profiles is a really great idea vs having a page specifically dedicated to these users.
