Old joke, and tbh it's not very funny if someone actually died.

World of internetz is miraculous (and full of this kind of things). It's easy to write a post of something, get your fame of 5mins in most readed thread, get the clowns to show up and they get their fame too. Did the thing ever really happen, is totally another thing.

I know one case from DB alliance, a guildleader did a story that she's having a fatal illness (cancer if I remember right...) and she's going to die soon-ish. Of course there was lots of /care for the matter. They did agreement on a guild merge, in case the day would come up. Leader disappeared and few weeks later came in-game mail from a person who stated he is friend of the leader and is here to pass the news that leader had died two weeks ago. Guildmerge took place, as arranged.

Few months later it came to attention that the "dead" person was actually still playing on the realm and on the same account (and hadn't of course had any kind of illness). Well, at least you know now a "another way" to get rid of a guild shall you need one...

I can think of nothing lower than pretending to your friends that you have terminal cancer.

ps: I have cancer.

pps: Only joking.

I tried that once. And it was quite fun until i told to them that i was just joking... I had to buy pizzas for all of them to calm them down.

Ah, good times.
