We have all heard the chatter over the trade and LFG channels – and on those IRL media sources like TV and newspapers too – about the death of Crocodile Hunter and Australian treasure Steve Irwin.Some players over on Frostwolf server have decided to hold an in-game memorial to the Australian icon and plans are underway via the official WoW forums.
There is some debate as to whether or not the memorial should be held at the Zoram Strand in Ashenvale or Dustwallow Marsh, where there are an abundance of crocs to be found.
It is important to note that Frostwolf is a PvP server, raising the possibility that the solemn event could turn into a gankfest if a few jerks decide to be...well jerks.
Final details about date and time have yet to be finalized but you can visit the Frostwolf realm forum to find out more.

Oh no...not this again! I remember hearing about a memorial service they held for a little girl a while back. The group was attacked because they were in a PvP zone. This should never happen again.
If I had Wow yet i would go there and pay my respects. And perhaps take a lvl60 character along just in case.

WoW is not the place for funerals, I mean come on already its a freaking game, of course to some it is real life but then again those are the ones going to these things.

indeed, it's a game if you want to drag real life into it you know you run a certain risk.
