"What, like an item?"
"Maybe, but not necessarily." I cursed under my breath as Halazzi dropped another lightning totem. "Like the Jar of Ashes. Just some cool thing in the world that would let people who played the game after you know you were there."
"I've always wanted them to put in a hair shirt for me."
"Funny." She made a face at me and I went back to tanking. But now that I've had time to think about it, it's a fair question. I've always loved the crypt in the Badlands -- probably due to my being a huge Robert E. Howard fan, but still, having a set of tier 2 armor on a stand in there with my character's name on it would be pretty much the best thing I could imagine. Failing that, stick my name on a revamped Drake Talon Cleaver.
So how about you? What would you do if you could ask the devs to immortalize you in game?

Massive gold statue of me kicking out a sweet solo on a chainsaw guitar with the warchief on bass ontop of a pile of aliance corpeses dipped in bronze. Probably located in the midde of the gob slums because they deserve nice things

I would like to have my tauren shaman somewhere in Kalimdor. He can only be seen if the player is in spirit form and when you talk to him he asks "Do you have a spare ankh?"

I'd like some random abandoned farm that would have random items scattered. To become an NPC in the game I'd like a farm strewn with random items, mounts, and pets, but to be memorialized I think instead it would be more fitting to see an empty, decrepit house filled with long forgotten items. Perhaps there could be a spirit in the house somewhere that you'd have to speak to in order to find a trinket that would allow you to turn into a ghost wolf (it would behave much like the Orb of the Sin'dorei).
If that's a bit much, leave a few feral kitty paw prints in a desert somewhere for me. I've always loved Tanaris at night after all.

A statue of Grovin atop the highest unoccupied peak in the Storm Peaks, surveying the world that he loves.

Non-Item:
I wanna join the statues of fallen heroes in the Scarlet Monastery armory. Standing there all granitely badass ... yup that's what I'd want.
Item: Tier armor set named after me, with some random/pointless/awesome use function - rose petals shower down, trumpet fanfare, something fun.

i would want a npc just like my main sitting nexted to the winterspring frostsaber trainers. took me a good 3 mouths back in the day to get exalted with him. i stated off on neutral terms with him which quickly turned into me wanting to punch him in the face due to the long grueling farm. but after i got my mount that hatred turned into respect. every time i take a hiatus from wow i always park my main on Frostsaber Rock and thing about the bad old days.

I do pugging & recruitment for my guild, so my ghost would probably haunt trade chat. On cold, dark nights you can still see her spam for a long-obsolete raid...
Glaras Jun 7th 2011 7:40PM
This idea really appeals to me. The chat could come from [Ghost of Lekal], and when it fires off, it keys a sound file that sounds like soft whispering.
That would creep people out. Awesome idea.

I'd like my NE Hunter to become a Sentinel. Some place in Ashenvale or what's left of it.

I want a memorial to my undead warlock in full T8 gear, kind of modeled after the Tirion fountain in Dalaran, but instead it would alternate Doomguards and Infernals. There would be an inscription that read, "Anyone who desires true power must always wield it for the greater good." My warlock, I always like to think, was Chaotic Good, wielding the demonic arts as a protector of Azeroth, defying his roots in the Scourge of the Burning Legion.

i would like a big quest line that has to be implemented at like one of the big patchs :D shows how i grew in stregth and pwned everything

This is a bit long sorry.
First off it would be in Netherstorm in Outland were a large crater outlined in green flame is located. Along with an undead npc is standing outside it crying. When you talk to the npc it states "My lord is gone, the power was such....... that not even a god could contain. He asked me to give this letter to a courier please deliver it for me. I can't leave my lord's side." The npc gives you the letter unfortunately the address has been burned off so might as well read it. It states
Dear mama,
I have found the truth in the nether. The power is great, but with some practice I think I can contain it. Even using small amounts results in my abilities being augmented by factors that are hard to comprehend. I wonder has anyone else been as close as I? Hope to see the guild very soon once my research is complete.
Signed

I would like a raid feast named after my Shaman. It would be called "Miss Paz's Chicken 'n Waffles." It would grant the needed extra buffs and enhancements for each class and spec, and in addition, would grant a happiness buff that would persist through death.

I've thought about this before, ever since seeing NPC Caylee Dak on Aldor Rise and looking them up to see their story. I would love for my character (mage, Salty Wenchie) to be memorialized as a either a pet vendor (I love collecting mini pets) or as a NPC fishing in pirate gear in Booty Bay (since my name seems pirate-y) with my orange tabby next to me.

My skeleton under the undercity elevator.

My main is a Priestess, and I love achievements. However, I've always had a lot of difficulty getting the Matron title from The Childrens Week, because I'm very poor at PvP. I'd like to have her hang out in Orgrimmar orphanage or the hidden one in Nagrand with the title, where she would always be fussing over the children.
My other main is a healing Paladin, and she's very bright and shining. If she were to be remembered, I would want it to be a quest chain where the player has to run around gathering pieces for a necklace, and all the quest givers complain about my Paladin's infectious smiles. When the item's complete, they'd have to run to Northrend and put it on a small altar, where they would get an hour-duration buff that healed some percent of all damage taken.

For my night elf, I'd like my two favorite pets, my "Humar the Pridelord" and my blue raptor to be untameable green mobs, that circle the tree, like I used to for days when I was hunting the pridelord for the tame. If you right click one of the pets, a mirage of my character will cast feed pet. And if a Horde player is there, he gets jumped by the pets, and shot by my hunter, for all those asses that had nothing better to do than stick around and kill me every time Humar spawned.
As for my Worgen Warrior, I'd like him to become an NPC that has headed an legitimate organization based on healing all Worgen to regain their sanity. His idle animation is him checking out the many weapons he has acquired.
Awesome Jun 7th 2011 4:04PM
Actually, scratch my NElf hunter's thing, that's stupid. I want him to be able to spawn in a random Alliance territory and be seen riding his Dawn/ Stormsaber along the path, as homage to my attempt to get World Explorer without flying, and due to my love of riding through the World, so that I don't lose sight of its immensity and beauty.
