Following the tragic death of Robin Williams, fans have found ways to pay tribute to the actor.

First there was the bench from Good Will Hunting, where fans wrote quotes from the film and left flowers, which is now being petitioned to get a bronze statue of Williams, and the house in Colorado featured in "Mork & Mindy," where fans also gathered. 

The latest tribute comes in the form of fans asking Blizzard, the company responsible for "World of Warcraft" to honor Williams and immortalize him as a character in the game. Williams, an avid gamer, lest we forget he named his daughter Zelda, was also a WoW fan. 

The petition with nearly 11,000 signatures asks that his character appear in the "World's End Tavern" where he can tell jokes, "so that he may continue making us smile long after his passing."

A tweet from the game's official account seems to confirm the news.
