that said, the worst part is that some of these gamers across our great nation, are not in the best mental condition and could very well take their revenge for this act to real life. not saying it "will" happen, but our past has proven that people like this do exist.
i'm not a gamer hater either.
Well if you want to take it in the trule role playing fashion as a lot of gamers do. The Alliance and the Horde are at war, at any given moment they are trying to kill one another. War doesn't stop for a funeral no matter how important or unimportant the deceased is. Sure sometimes in history a truce was called during some battles to honor the fallen, in some societies based on honor the battles only happend during the daytime and at night hostilities ceased in order to collect the dead and mourn them. This doesn't meant that this has to happen. These Horde characters globally announced their intentions and the Alliance took advantage of that. As G said earlier, you make a global announcement about a fallen gang members funeral services and you can be sure that a rival gang is gonna show up to add more bodies to the services.
If these guys had been really smart they would have kept the location secret and the only way to find it out was to meet in a Horde controlled area and get the location that way. That's what I would have done at least.
