sundarter:

falling out of the sky in stormwind and dying: everyone ignores you at best. people continue roleplaying as usual, or move away entirely, leaving your corpse to rot on the streets.

falling out of the sky in orgrimmar and dying: every player nearby gathers in a circle around your corpse to wish their condolences. multiple people try to rez you. someone sets your corpse on fire. both a pinata and training dummy are raised over your corpse, which every single player nearby then viciously begins to attack. A trumpet sounds nearby. people are crying. someone kills the fisherman and lays his corpse next to yours. lament of the highborne is suddenly playing soulfully in the distance.
