Yesterday, after a long battle with cancer, one of the officer in my guild passed away. We paid homage to him. Because this isn't "just a game", we play with real people, and make real friends. Goodbye Attacus.

Damn that really sucks. I hope you and your guild are doing alright.

Also, don't let anyone tell you it's just a game, it's a wonderful thing that we live in a time where we can intimately connect to people we've never actually seen in real life.

Sometimes, the friends we make in this game are better than the ones we make in real life.

After my wife passed away in January my guildies gave me everything that dropped in my first raid back. The purples didn't ease the pain but knowing there were people out there who cared even though we had never met sure did. WoW friendships are real and sometimes an online connection can mean the world.

I hope your friend is resting in peace and you guys are part of the light that carries their memory into the future.

Sorry for your loss.

A member of my guild passed away earlier this year and we held a memorial for her at Elwynn Falls (The exploding sheep farm), which was her favorite in game area. I believe her main character is now eternally logged out there.
