Just as a matter of curiosity, is there a problem with putting his marker in Willow's Weep? That is of course the intended place for memorials for characters who have permed.
*smiles* Only one person have ever been buried there, the first character that permed, and 5 years later noone have decided to be placed there, because they have ties otherwhere.
Also I don't have anything written that I would feel is appropriate for Willow's Weep, as far as a retelling of Shiffs story
I don't have any issue with that, but...How often does anyone get up to Willows Weep?
Not quite true. I've got a character that's been waiting to have her epitaph added to Willow's Weep since sometime during V2. There's a spot here on the forums specificly for players to submit their character's epitaphs for inclusion in the Willow's Weep Hall of Lost Heroes even, with several submissions waiting. However, adding such things in-game has been counted a low-priority by the dev-team because they'd prefer to add more exciting content (like new areas, critters, gear, etc.) and fix bugs with their time. The feeling seems to be that since very few folks actually visit Willow's Weep, there's little reason to spend time/resources adding to it. On the other hand, one wonders if there were more than just one epitaph to see there, perhaps more folks would visit it?
