Never forget himComment by Varrak93Wondered what everyone was doing in the throne room on my server. As much as the stigma around mental health is changing, for some people its still just too much. If anyone is feeling depressed or their anxiety is out of control please seek help, you'll have more people willing to listen and guide you through than you realise. RIP Byron.Comment by m2geekOn Tichondrious, Horde showed up and people started killing each other.Comment by BregalagosForever rank 1.

<3Comment by Kaimasafumif to a real %^&*!Comment by vegard101I have no words. RIPComment by GylphieGlad to see this community coming together like this. It's so nice to see everyone coming together, all the love and support and people reaching out. This means so much to me as someone who suffers from mental health. Seeing this news hit me hard, but god if it doesn't make me happy to see not everyone in this community is negative or hateful like you constantly see. I hope this also changed some minds and helped people see the light - learn that their words, even anonymously, even to strangers, can hurt. It's not easy to ignore. For someone who is suffering, every single tiny negative thing outweighs all the positives. Your words have meaning. Use them wisely.Comment by chunkycarlRest is peace you amazing man.
The impact you had on the game we love is visible from the utter respect and mourning occurring in game right now.
For others reading- it’s ok to talk, it’s ok to cry, but don’t suffer in silence.Comment by HApajaLegend
