You've squandered millions of pieces of gold and you're the envy of every member of your guild in World of Warcraft. Seemingly, nothing can stop you. Except death. After hours of upping skills, consuming unhealthy bags of fried goods, countless drinks and more than likely a few bugs -- all your online efforts won't follow you into the sweet thereafter.

As grieving parents, friends, co-workers, former lovers come over to remember you the only way they know how (stealing your stuff), what happens to your World of Warcraft account?

Asylum.com asked the simple question and discovered that Blizzard will transfer your account to an immediate family member and discovered that Second Life residents even honor their dead in the game.

Curious as to what happens to your MySpace, AIM and email accounts after you get six feet shorter? Asylum found out and discovered a way to cheat online death in Dead in Real Life, Still Alive Online?
