In the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO), players gathered for a memorial to say goodbye to a beloved PvP player. The memorial took place on the EU server for PS4 in the PvP area of Cyrodiil. Many were impressed by how peacefully the ceremony unfolded. Zenimax will immortalize the player as a bear in ESO.
Who is it about? The player james999dylan was an important member of the community of The Elder Scrolls Online. He fought for the Ebonheart Pact in ESO on the EU server of PlayStation 4. He was apparently extraordinarily popular among friends and foes alike.
According to a YouTuber who recorded the funeral, James passed away just a few days ago at the age of 22.
This is how ESO mourned him: In honor of the deceased, hundreds of ESO players gathered in the PvP area of Cyrodiil to mourn together and pay their respects to the departed.
Impressive images of players in the MMORPG can be seen.
ESO will immortalize the player as a bear named Semaj
This is what Zenimax says: The PvP lead of The Elder Scrolls Online, Brian Wheeler, has spoken up.
He says a bear named Semaj, with a candle and the symbol of the Ebonheart Pact, will come to the MMORPG with update 26. He will appear northwest of the “Temple of the Ancestor Moths”.
The bear will be visible on all servers, not just on the PS4 server.
Update 26 will be the update that accompanies the major expansion Greymoor.
This is what is being discussed: On reddit, many MMORPG veterans who know such funerals from other games are present. MMORPG funerals are notorious for being disrupted by PvP players who take the opportunity to rack up massive PvP kills by bombing the mourners with AE abilities.
Many on reddit express their amazement that the memorial service in ESO proceeded without such incidents. This is seen as a sign of how mature and adult the ESO community is.
Some say they do not know the deceased, but because so many attended the memorial service, he must have been an extraordinary person who touched the lives of many others.
