The Memorial Walk celebrates the memory of those we have lost. It occurs annually on June 1st through 3rd. On the first day, those who wish to participate walk between memorials as described below, then disperse or gather to sit vigil or celebrate at the memorial locations or around the Forest as they deem fit. The second and third days allow anyone who missed the initial walk to join and participate. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to remember our loved ones, as long as you are not disrupting others who are remembering; follow your heart. When a community member passes on, their memorial location is added at the end of the path and becomes a part of the Memorial Walk for all following years. In this way, they are never forgotten. | |||
The Path Each memorial location is represented by a yellow ribbon on the map below (drag to your URL bar to see the full size). The two "main" walks occur at 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM CST of the first day. After arriving at each memorial, one minute of silence is observed before moving to the next memorial. The walk begins at Run's memorial, closest to the Ruins, then goes to Flyleaf's memorial at the Poppy Patch, then to Fincayra's memorial at Fern Hill, and concludes at Maria's memorial beside the stream.

I will try to be there.
I'd like to feature this on
I have an idea of putting these players' pictograms in their memorial places on the map, for the time of the event (the pictograms'd be in a different size/color, though).
It could be symbolic of how they're still with us, in a way. On the other hand, I see how it could be upsetting, specifically to people who were close/family to them, and that is not my intent.
So, I'd appreciate it if somebody put this up for discussion where everyone can see it and gave me the results.
If this concept proves upsetting to at least one person, I'll scrap that and go for a neutral design. (like a simple marker that shows a name/tef username when hovered)
@Uit - I like the idea, but I
Thanks for the feedback. I
I'll think of something, and use the ribbon, if it doesn't come to me.
Ah, only a couple days away.
I have a question: could we
Because none of the two time options suits European players very well: it's something like 13:00-15:00 and 01:00-03:00 in various parts of Europe. Considering that all three days of the event are week days, I'm afraid that not many will be able to attend. At least, as far as I remember, last year very few people took part in the event.
/Ed.: Or maybe have a different time on each of the three days, to cover more time zones.

Urschanabi- it’s meant to be
That said, I don’t see any harm in maybe doing “big walks” every 6 hours on day one instead of just the two 12-hour ones. I’d like days 2 and 3 to stay unorganized though, to keep it stress free so everyone can participate at their leisure without feeling like they’re missing something or having to stretch their schedule.
Additionally, we could move the first day to be the first Saturday of every June, but that means the date will be different each year. I picked set dates mainly so it would be easy to remember and put on a calendar.
I won't be able to make the

@Aivilo: Ok, nevermind, I see
Ok, nevermind, I see there were quite a few people this time, so I guess it's still fine as it is ♥
Also idk about the rest of Europe, but I've asked on the Russian sever, and people voted against the idea of doing the 'big walks' every 6 hours.
Appreciate your reply and the options given tough. Personally I'm ok with all of them, just wanted to make sure it suits everyone.
