Steve Irwin, Crocodile Hunter

Steve Irwin, if he played World of Warcraft, would have been one hell of a Nelf Hunter. We obviously know what his pet would have been, that's for sure.

That being said, some folks over at the Frostwolf server are planning to hold an in-game memorial service for Irwin. The original proposal given by Bubbrubb, the original poster, was to have a memorial on the shores of the Zoram Strand, south of Auberdine. Of course, some people are more or less inclined to want it someplace with actual crocodiles/crocolisks, such as Dustwallow Marsh, followed with a proper memorial of video coverage and a screenshot of someone taming a crocodile for the heart signs.

Here's Bubbrubb's original post:
 

I am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Steve Irwin, as you all are I'm sure. We need to pay our respects to this man and lay his Azerothian soul to rest , so I propose a memorial service at the serene ocean front setting of the Zoram Strand. I would like to spell out CRIKEY with players as a tribute to his wonderous catch phrase, and then we can dance and swim in the ocean to celebrate his life instead of mourning his death. Horde and Alliance are welcome to come say your goodbyes. If people are interested, we can set a specific time. It would also be good if someone could record a video of it to put it on youtube.


The only thing that's somewhat scary about it is Frostwolf is PVP. You got that right. Doing this on Frostwolf means there's a chance that we could be seeing another funeral/memorial ganking video, instead of a solemn memorial.  Because of this, there are also people asking that the service be moved to a PVE server, but plans for this memorial journey haven't been finalized yet.

If you play WoW, you may want to give the forums a visit for that, and if you want to join in, let them know. Just don't gank people, okay?

Sorry to have missed it, but Steve, if you're listening from the heavens, this one's for you. It's an original song I wrote and recorded in your honor:
