With the release of THE REMARKABLE LIFE OF IBELIN on @netflix, #WorldOfWarcraft players are gathering at Mats Steen’s grave online, where he was known as Ibelin, leaving flowers and lighting candles in his honor. Each candle is lit by a player, and they only last for 15 minutes at a time with more coming to ensure the tribute continues. Each player must travel to a specific location to purchase the candles and they cannot be shared with other players.

In a recent interview, Robert and Trude Steen (Mats' parents) said the following:

Mats often talked about wanting to be remembered. “That’s natural,” says Robert, “When you know you will die young. Isn’t it? One of the biggest fears is that you won’t be remembered. Nobody will notice.” Trude nods: “He wanted to make a difference to other people. He said that a lot.”

#TheRemarkableLifeOfIbelin is now available to stream on #Netflix
