That would be strange. Anyway, I don't want to think of my death. If I did die then I would have someone I personally know to take over my account and notify my death.

I'm unsure about this, but I would assume that my parents would leave a message in my About.

i have noticed there sure is alot of death threads in the tavern lately

Death:
Dark Side: you will be inactive and rotting in a coffin for years while you decompose but the calcium in your body won't so you'll be a skeleton with long fingernails
or you'll go to hell
Bright Side: possibility of heaven, having a spirit, souls, watch over your loved ones
