DDO Players Hold In-Game Memorial in Honor of Gary Gygax

Posted March 6th, 2008 by Aelryn

You will be missed, sir.

From the DDO forums, it looks like players on the Sarlona server held an in-game memorial in honor of the late Gary Gygax.

I had nothing to do with organization of the event, and I'm sure better images will be forthcoming. But I was there, and strangely, it helped. Yes it was a digital memorial, inside a video game, but still, it helped. Maybe seeing it will help you too.

There wasn't a lot of notice and there wasn't a lot of publicity but word still spread. The service began in the Temple of the Sovereign Host. Words were read from Gygax's bio and there was a (long) moment of silence. One of my guildies played "Amazing Grace" over our voice chat... it was a very good choice.

See some screens and read more at the official forums.
