Pondering and accepting the concept of death can be a very daunting task. Even more terrifying is wondering what’s going to happen to your level five battle gnome on World of Warcraft after you kick the bucket. Well fear not friends, because a new online service will continue your online legacy after your Myspacing and Facebooking days are long gone. Legacy Locker is a new site that works as a virtual will for your online assets, including passwords and account information. If you’re afraid that your posse of followers will remove you once you stop constantly Twittering, (oh no!) or if you want to keep selling those antique toasters on ebay from beyond the grave, you can set up an account for the steal of only $29.99 a year and give ownership of all your online assets to a loved one in the event of your death. (And who knows, maybe you’ll even give your family a little somethin’-somethin’ if there’s any cash left in your PayPal account.) Once you’re six feet under, and a death certificate is verified, your account details will be released and your legacy lives on.
If you’re more of a visual person and want to ensure a sweet cyber-crypt, then you can hop on over to EternalSpace.com and pick out a nice digital plot, stocked with roses, candles, and even a mountain background if you so choose. (Yes, this is a real screen shot. Nice plot, eh?)
With all these social networks, chances are you’re probably already living online. For less than $30.00 bucks, you can now pay to die online. This may just be the deal of your life. Literally.
