If anything, I'm amused.
Sooo.... he'd be dead... and he told his friend... o.O
Ok ok, I know he could have told his "friend" BEFORE he died...
But who the hell in their right mind would even think of their online life when on the verge of death? And don't tell me it's no-lifers, 'cause they don't have friends.
Logic is needed. >=O
They actually have services you can buy to alert all forums you went to (and ingame buddies) once you pass away in real life. This can be something serious as you never know when someone might unexpectedly kick the bucket, and without anything to go by besides a forum handle they could be anywhere. It's comforting to know thatyour buddy didn't just happen to 'leave' but died, or rather it's comforting to know WHAT happened to him.
