Avian Gamers Network

Last night roughly 12am Eastern, my guild Benediction was running Magmadar. The hate was being held to perfection,(<3 Ugluk) healing rotation down pat, DPS was steady. Looked like an easy win over the foe that trumped a handful of times. And the unthinkable happens, server crash. We all write out GM tells going for funniest and most bizarre. I wrote roughly,

"I spend 15 dollars a month on a child slavery salary to play this game. It's the only thing that brings me joy, why Blizzard? I might as well kill myself now? Goodbye Cruel World...."

We attempt him again, 16% (Close huh), It's late on a Sunday and people have to leave. I turn on the television to put me to sleep, I hear the doorbell. I, in my underwear open the door, two cops stare at me. They are responding to a possible suicide threat, and read my GM ticket. I try not to laugh as I take it as seriously as I could with my poker face. They take my license, no registration and do some sort of /who with the Police Department. Give me a stern warning and leave.

Lesson Kids, don't attempt suicide on WOW.

Blizzard really cares about you

Care my butt - the cops were just there to ninja loot the corpse.

I bet if it happens in SWG, they get Darth Vader to show up at your door and help you pull the trigger.

I remember something similar happened during the first year of UO. There was a guy posting on the forums who seemed to get more and more depressed. This guy posted all the time, every single day... never missing a day.

Then one time he posted something about wanting to die then just stopped posting. People got worried. The cops showed up at his house the next day. The only way they could have known where he lived was if the Devs gave them the info.

Everyone gave them credit for caring, but us old timers knew they just didn't want to losing a paying customer.

Well, remember some devs do care. For those who have forgotten, go visit the memorial flag on Tatooine again.
