As someone who has watched too many friends and family waste away from too many diseases, I'm convinced that suicide for this reason is one of the most selfless acts a person can do. The alternative only causes more agony than there need be.

As someone who pulled through a tough time in the past, with severe depressions at time, and later watching my own uncle who had 2 small kids (not even in education yet), a wife and brain damage that caused him to never leave the house kill himself with alcohol, leaving much agony behind, the act of killing oneself is what I can never accept. Now his family is left for me and my family to take care of, the kids never get the teaching of their father.

I guess we have different perspective.

I look down on people ending on their own terms. That's being selfish, not the other way around. He's not the only one suffered from severe depression, alcoholism and other shitty psychological disorder.

Or maybe his goal in life is already fulfilled.
Do you even know what Parkinson's disease is?

Your anecdote only proves that you have an illogical bias.

First off, for every one of you who are mad that he's dead, there's someone with a living alcoholic parent who wishes the parent was dead. Secondly, Robin Williams' children are adults now so your whole post is irrelevant anyway.

This is a really long thread, so I didn't make it through the whole thing, but I just wanted to check: did anyone mention the fact that he played EQ back in the day?

Ok, I made it through the whole thread and there's no mention of it, so I guess it's not very common knowledge.

My cousin used to be a GM at SOE ... granted it was for Star Wars Galaxies, but she helped GM for EQ sometimes, and her boyfriend at the time was a senior GM for Everquest. Anyhow, people there talked about famous people who played EQ, and one of those people was Robin Williams. I don't remember much else about it, just that he played a Wood Elf Ranger.

R.I.P. Robin Williams, a fellow classic Everquest gamer and an amazing comedian and actor.

Loramin, I learned recently that he was way into Legend of Zelda (he named his daughter after the Princess) and that he also played WoW, Battlefield 2, Call of Duty, etc. So it wouldn't surprise me that he probably played EQ back in the day. Makes you wonder who you're actually guilded with huh? I wonder if he knew about P99 if he would have been interested in coming here for a somewhat classic experience.

I would like to think so. Heck, although I kind of doubt it for all we know he might have been playing here among us already.

Someone got too attached to this movie...
