Dear CCP
There are a few players in this game who have shaped our game to what it is today.
Vile Rat was one such person and this morning we learned of his passing, a very sad loss to this community.
Please would you give your consideration to change a system name to VR-RIP. This name was mentioned by Prador in Viles Rip post.
I think this would be a fitting tribute to a player like VR
Thanks for your time

I disagree. If we do it for this departed soul, it sets a precedent to be done for others. I don't think it is appropriate or necessary.
There are many players in EVE who help shape what it is today, not just a select few. |

I don't know that many had the impact VR did. I do see your point, though. |

Maybe!
My initial reaction is based upon the application of value to the deceased. I think all are equal in death, yet to start naming systems after an individual attaches a value to said individual.
Who are we [collectively] to decide who is more valuable than another? :shrug:
Besides, I think the best monument to a fallen EVE player is an Officer fit Titan wreck on a low sec gate |

No. This will open a can of worms and take idolatry to the extremes. The only person(s) imo,that automatically deserves such accolade are the founding members of CCP - which I'm sure no one will disagree.

You're entitled to your opinion just as I am entitled to mine.
The difference is, I don't resort to pettiness. I put forward a reason and invite debate. You can only offer vitriol. |

We are human beings, and we make value judgements all day long.
I didn't know either of you personally, but I'd vote VR was more valuable than you.
I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all. |

In the Sandbox that is EVE, we can make our own memorials:

I respect your sentiment, but it's not appropriate in a video game. We'll remember him always, and knowing Goons, they'll always have some way to be sure he's never forgotten.

Why are people fighting over what's supposed to be a memorial proposal for a well known and liked player in this game? Can you assholes put aside your nagging and nit picking for 5 minutes to be decent people?
Edit: For the record I am referring to ALL parties going back and forth in an argument. Stay the arguments, stay your negative comments. For crying out loud let at least SOME of these threads be solemn and positive memorials. This is all I'll say.

I too am disgusted. C'mon, the dude was even mentioned by THE SECRATARY OF STATE of the US, Hillary Clinton.
When these jerks 'pass' themselves, we will all be able to say "who 'dat?", at least. They must be jealous or something. |

I agree with him and the only one acting improperly is you, but since you're emotionally unbalanced right now, I don't blame you. This isn't the first time someone from this community has died and no systems were renamed for them. I'm all for giving him a nice sendoff, but I don't think CCP should be filling the game with out-of-game memorials, let alone start playing favorites with such things. I don't want to see peoples deaths or memorials become a cause for arguing or tools for trolls to abuse. Just send the guy off with style and move on with life. The unfortunate reality is, that people die before their time for no good reasons. He isn't going to be the last influential person, that is going to die before this game closes down. |

So you're not even capable of offering a debate? I guess for some it will always be a case of "agree with me or I'll flame on", even in threads covering topics as poignant as this. |

No, he is right, you have soiled the entire thread with your reaction.
Sadly dozens of eve players are taken from us every year and for ccp to make a value judgement on the deceased would just be plain wrong. On the other hand some form of monument that could be placed to comemorate ANY player by their friends would be appropriate. Or indeed a general monument placed by ccp to commemorate ALL fallen capsuleers.

We are so impressed that you can read the minds of CCP, like a latter day prophet/psychic. Congratulations. Or are you now CCP's official policy maker?
After all, they have given 'special ships' to The Living, for sakes.
Grow up. |

I can respect and appreciate that you wish to honor your friend. You show great courage and dignity by doing so and you bring respect to yourself and the memory of your friend. His passing was a real life event and this is just a game. Nothing we could do in a video game would bring justice to celebrate the real life of this person.
I can see both sides but sadly it would come down to business. CCP would have to do this for all members as people have previously mentioned. I think some sort of player based monument would be appropriate and this would be decided by the players not the company.
Some sort of monument could be purchased or erected by the players would be reasonable imho.

A while ago an Eve player passed away after a long fight with cancer and his friends decided to have an in-game gathering in his memory.
The event was of course attended by a number of idiots intent on disrupting things.
And that's why any sort of in-game memorial might not be such a good idea. Dulce et decorum est pro imperium mori. |

If we hold a ceremony in his name in nullsec, and players come to OUR SPACE to crash the party.... they will be met at the door by a nasty welcoming party. trust me.
