Could even have user submitted brief details on the person that is listed.

a tomb of unknown soldier or tombs of unknown soldiers should work.

it should be within the policy of not releasing info about people from a business standpoint yet honoring all those that flew here and passed on.

a small area with a monument, maybe tombstones with no names around it. all within the area should be protected both ways by killshooter or bullets and bomb terminate instantly within the area. maybe like a cone shaped force field.

maybe located on an island with maps with large body of water, or a high  mountain top on maps without large body of water. maybe with names like moutain of the unknowns, or island of unknowns.

maybe some of the mapmakers can spare some time and create something the size of a large airfield that could maybe be added on to the terrains.

I like the idea. I think it would be a class act on part of HTC and I am sure many would agree.

I thought the memorial wall in say O'Club was a good idea.
I liked this idea when I heard about it too.

If there was to be one, I think it should be generic with no names.
I think a generic wall would remove any of the pleasure or satisfaction family members or friends would gain from such a symbolic remembrance.

As others have said leave it up to HTC to decide who would be added. There are members of this community they “know” have passed away.

I think it's a great idea Jb!

Somewhere near the HQ would be a good idea, it shouldn't be in the center of the map (hard to visit with all the red ones around!)

But only loss of members? No h2h'ers?

No H2Hers.  They didn't care enough to join.

I've been a H2H'er since 2000 (late 99's), I'd say I care enough :)

How will you as a H2H player see the memorial in the Main Arena?  I've never seen any H2H only players in the Main Arena...I don't know them.

I thought this was for the departed people, not for the people who will see their graves?

I think it would be reasonble to make a "requirement" if you will that you were a full access subscriber in order for HTC and crew to make the effort to add your name to whatever memorial system they decide upon.

Wouldn't you call that reasonable?

BPU (beloved paying user) for like 3 months at least or more .. maybe 6.. just something that would make it a reasonably sized number of players.

But at the same time, HTC could spend their time on much more 'productive' projects.

What if the player doesn't fly alot (neither in MA or H2H) but is very active on the forums, everyone knows and likes him/her.

Basically you're saying that a totally unknown guy that pays will get a memorium, but someone everyone knows and likes, but doesn't pay, won't.

Lol but hey, we're discussing something that's unlikely to be added, so I give up :)

I think a memorial is a fantastic idea.  I'm not too sure about having a memorial in the game.  Some noob will be bombing it within an hour of it being put in.  I don't know about anyone else, but I'd get pretty upset if some FNG started to bomb the memorial.

WWIIOL has ingame memorials to players who passed away and they were very well received and appreciated by the community.
