A petition on Change.org has succeeded in getting the late Robin Williams memorialized in the popular MMORPG World of Warcraft

According to the petition, Robin Williams was an avid fan of WoW and "took his World of Warcraft characters very serious [sic].""He often joked about his WoW addiction but also about the reactions he'd get from other gamers when he admits he plays the game," the post continues. "Because of his presence within our community, we the players of World of Warcraft are asking Blizzard to kindly create an NPC within the game that memorializes the actor/comedian."The petition asks for the Williams NPC to perform some of the actor's best jokes, "so that he may continue making us smile long after his passing."Petitioners got their wish late last night, when, in response to a tweet asking him if he'd seen the petition, Technical Game Designer, Chadd Nervigg responded "Yes. We're taking care of it." Robin Williams will appear as an NPC of some kind in the game.Williams was found dead from suspected suicide yesterday morning at his Marin County home. He was 63.
