My plants are coming in nicely this year. The key is clippings from a much more primordial strain of lotus, the alpha if you will. Quite a prized possession, that.

The undead would be much less of a hassle if only they were more mortal.

My favorite Hearthstone card? It's got to be lightning bolt!

Where once a hero set foot on his native soil a monument has risen

Where now part of his essence resides a mystical boon will be given



Upon the monument the runic initials MK have been engraved

To honor all the journeys and battles the fallen one has braved



A hero's enduring spirit transcends many worlds beyond our own

Only those with steadfast dedication find a bond with this unknown



Travel the continents and scour the lands for the shrine standing tall

For in the presence of the monolith the warrior will be with you all.

He gave up what was left of his essence to strengthen me in his last stand. In all these years, this timely reasoning has been the one guarantee that has assured my mind from breaking into pieces. Instead, this comfort has shaped my being anew, leaving me wholly transfigured as a different man. How striking is it now that my name is René, literally meaning 'to be reborn'.



Even though I artistically collaborated with Michel, he was the single driving engine. The Twincruiser vessel did not have two captains, it had one and I was his shadow. I could delve deep into the characteristics of my brother, but I say this without any glorified bias that he was way, way beyond me in many aspects at the age of 19. Truthfully, I see myself as being at his level now at age 26. I can say I miss having my brother around physically but not as much as I miss him not having had the opportunity to evolve in Blizzard. With seven years of dedication, he would no doubt have been a creative monster in the art department. I'd like to think it is this unsung feat of talent that merited my brother to become a part of World of Warcraft and now a symbol in the StarCraft universe.



As I conclude this tribute, my brother's final words echo through and begin to crystallize, almost to the point of being prophetic. I may have lost a brother, but through his death I have been blessed with a band of newfound brothers within Blizzard. And as long as I remain within their presence, Michel is alive and well.



To the family who keeps

Michel's flame burning bright.

There is no greater glory

that has been so worth the fight.

Ahab Wheathoof / Ezra Chatterton

Zone: Mulgore

Mulgore Coordinates: 48.2, 53.2

48.2, 53.2 Location: Ahab Wheathoof is located in Bloodhoof Village. He stands by the bridge, putting up a flyer about his missing dog.



Ezra died at 9:45 on Monday night. The cancer attacked those portions of the brain that control breathing, and his lungs eventually shut down. He was conscious until the very end, and though he couldn't speak, he could still communicate with me through hand gestures and nods. Ezra was in pain, gasping for breath, and very scared, but up to a few hours before he died, he was asking for ice cream and choosing the things I read to him. As much as I feared the cancer would take his mind and memory away from him, he held onto those as long as he could.



The ironies are sickening. Ezra's mind was always his greatest strength, and stayed strong even as his brain was malfunctioning. His spirit and his will to live life well grew so amazing powerful all the way to the point that his life was taken from him. No one I have ever met was as talented at finding the bright side of a horrible situation, adapting his worldview to whatever new hardship befell him, and generally milking every last drop of happiness he could out of life as Ezra, and he's the one who is taken. The one person in my life who most loved living and was most exceptionally gifted at it, and he's the one who is taken.



I say these things because I am in pain, because I miss my son so much, and because Ezra's death is an undeniable tragedy. It is the world's loss that he doesn't get to do more, and fulfill his great potential. But I also hope that I can learn from his example. When Ezra couldn't walk anymore, he turned to World of Warcraft. When he couldn't see, he turned to music, or our pets, or food, or directing me to play World of Warcraft for him. The trick was that, as his world got smaller, he just looked at it more closely. If I am to take any shred of good from this suffering, I'll have to learn from him.



I hope to honor my son by learning to love my life as much as he did. It will take a long time to get to that point, especially now that my greatest joy is gone, but Ezra would demand it of me. I ask the WoW community, who have been so generous and kind to us, to please help me honor Ezra by doing the same in your hearts. Ezra's sickness and painful death was a tragedy, an experience that showed me a glimpse of how easily suffering can invade your life, but his response to it showed me how a strong will can overcome that suffering. As well, the outpouring of love from all WoW players all over the globe showed me how wonderful people can be to someone they've never met. Our bodies are fragile, but our hearts are incredibly strong. A tumor the size of a raisin is enough to destroy the brain, but our minds are so much more powerful and immense than the brain.



My son, Ezra Phoenix Chatterton, Ephoenix the Hunter, Squirlanator the Mage, is gone. All we have left in this world are memories of him. Please remember that he was a good person, smart and clever but also very kind, that he loved to play World of Warcraft, that he loved rice pudding and fettuccine alfredo, and that he went through so much pain and still found ways to smile all the way to the end. Please remember too the kindness of Blizzard, and the overwhelming love of the WoW community. Without these gifts, Ezra would still have found a way to be happy and optimistic, just not as easily.

43.6, 89.2 Location: Andrestrasz is located in a cave along the coast of Ahn'Qiraj, not inside the raid itself. Trees mark the cave entrance.

I'd bet $20 it's a homage to someone's 5 yr old named Andre but would have to dig into data to find out for sure.

Posted: Wed Mar 22, 2006 6:42 pm Post subject: CAYLEEeeee......

My real name is Dak James Krause. I was born in Los Gatos, California on March 10th, 1979. Up until the last few years, which I spent hopping between San Diego and San Jose, I lived exclusively in San Jose. I was what can easily be defined as a juvenile delinquent and attended 3 high schools here in San Jose, eventually graduating from Andrew Hill. ( The worst of the 3.) I've spent ALOT of time in meaningless, dead end jobs. Dabbled in everything from theme park attendant ( LOL ) to security gaurd. I've spun pizza's and 2x4's. In all this I think the most important thing I've learned is that college is the most neccessary, most missed and by far the most important thing in my life. This fall I will be returning to San Jose City College to resume my general ed so I can transfer in a year and some change to Monterey State. There I will be studying international business and minoring in Japanese language and culture. WoW is the second MMO I've been addicted to. The first was FFXI and I played this religiously for just over 2years. I played on the quetzalcoatl server with Zyd(who seems to favor RF online now >.<) and another real life friend of mine whom I've known since 4th grade. He still plays FFXI. The slag. Anyways, I wanted to say how much meeting all of you has meant to me. From my first char in WoW, Simon and everyone else here in the Boulderfist Heroes has really made me feel welcome. You guys and girls have given me a home, a place to hang my slippers and sip hot cocoa, a place to throw darts and drink beer, a place to laugh and be laughed at, and it's a truely wonderful feeling. Thank You All. It is an honor to be here with you guys. I will post my pic later on tonight or this weekend. I have a friendster site with some more of my info on it but im not sure what the link is, so as soon as I can find it, I will link it.

Dak never gave up, he never quit. We spoke about the pain and the one thing that took his mind away from it was playing together with all of us. He told me the one thing that made him happy was the laughter together when we would say or do something stupid.



Dak was a friend.



We spoke about his cancer and my spinal injury, the pain, the medication and the only thing he could care about was that I felt better and that I would be alright in the future. How rare to meet such a selfless person.



I spoke with Dak in july, he knew what was coming, but he didnt give up the fight, he is truly a man amongst men and he will never be fogotten.

Do not stand at my grave and weep,

I am not there, I do not sleep.



I am in a thousand winds that blow,

across Northrend's bright and shining snow.



I am the gentle showers of rain,

on Westfall's fields of golden grain.



I am in the morning hush,

of Stranglethorn's jungle, green and lush.



I am in the drums loud and grand,

the thunderous hooves across Nagrand.



I am the stars warmly gleaming,

over Darnassus softly dreaming.



I am in the birds that sing,

I am in each lovely thing.



Do not stand at my grave and cry,

I am not there. I do not die.

Jar of Ashes

Zone: Hellfire Peninsula

Hellfire Peninsula Coordinates: 45.1, 87.2

45.1, 87.2 Location: Fly south in Hellfire Peninsula until you reach the border of the zone, with the Expedition Armory to the east. Go over to where a broken length of wall ends at the edge of the zone - behind it, you'll see a floating piece of rock immediately adjacent to a shelf on the cliff edge. This marks the location of a skeleton and the jar of ashes.

Here is a jar of ashes. These are the ashes of my sanity, my passion, and my drive. All, utterly destroyed by themselves. May all those who look upon these desolated lands of Hellfire remember this fallen peon. He shed blood for the Alliance, and sacrificed for the Horde only to be driven utterly mad by the wicked and soulless ones who devoured what he held most dear. As they feast from his toils, may they suffer his wrath. Maybe not in this world, but in every world hereafter. It is my declaration, my solemn oath, and my everlasting promise. I will avenge my suffering.

Nova Shrine

Netherstorm Coordinates: 41.0, 82.6

On the island of Coldarra in Borean Tundra Coordinates: 35.2, 35.2

35.2, 35.2 Location: On the mountains rimming Coldarra, near the Transitus Shield.

Until this cancer hit, Kevin dreamed about being an entrepreneur and starting his own company. He loved to eat pepperoni pizza and peanut butter milkshakes. He liked to make funny noises and could beatbox a mean Zelda theme song. He would stay up marathoning TV shows or playing video games all night. He would hit the gym almost every day with co-workers, and organize running groups. He DJ'ed, ran sketch groups, and liked throwing parties for his friends. One year, he decided to throw a Bill and Ted themed Halloween party, and got a bunch of us to build the phone booth from the movie. Yeah, he is that kind of guy. A good friend, a loving partner, and a great artist who loves making video games.

Connie has been my greatest supporter during this experience and I love her more than anything in the world. She has infused me with positivity and strength which makes this experience much easier. I see a lot of depressed cancer patients walking around alone and I think I might have enough positive energy to give them once I begin to recover (I can’t understand most of them, but I learned a thing or 2 about body language communication when we visited China a couple years ago and there are some awesome translation apps on my Iphone which I carry around). Maybe I will draw them something.

Thank you to everyone who either donated money or spread the link around. I would have never reached the goal so quickly if it wasn’t for you all. I was pleasantly surprised to see that it made it on reddit and some of the comments totally made me laugh (the health care debate and the cancer troll/anti-troll battles were incredible). The thoughtful comments/hugs you left me are really something special. I have a hard time keeping my tears at bay when I read the messages some of you posted.

Zone: Grizzly Hills

Not only was Nate’s gaming and leadership skill valued by his TeamEgo brothers and sisters, his knowledge as a gamer and programmer also gave insight to numerous game developers over the years. Nate spent many hours with game developers playing games with them in beta, engaging them in in-depth conversations about theoretical, technical and gameplay issues to assist them in game development.



While Nate may have been one of the more influential gamers around because of the high regard he shared with the world’s foremost gaming developers, he was hardly the nerdy, technical wonk some might suppose. Nate was nothing if not fun to play and chat with while gaming. While he probably understood the games he played at a level of depth not familiar to those he played with, he valued everyone’s perspective and knew that the one factor common in every successful game and gamer was fun. And Nate certainly knew how to have fun.

Note: As of 6.2.0, the Ashran captains can once more be summoned by Captain's Whistle . However, the vendors which are supposed to sell the whistles do not have them available to buy, so you can only summon a captain if you still have a whistle left in your inventory from prior days. The captains can still enter Ashran passively, but they are much easier to kill than they used to be, so they are not up for very long at a time.

She had a wisdom beyond her years. and a peace about her that touched everyone around her.

Even while fully aware life was closing in on her, she never stopped smiling and laughing enjoying her time in WoW, with her friends.



Kimilyn was as tough as they get. She had the heart of a gladiator and the nerve of an assassin.

She stared squarely in the face of fear and never backed down from anything or anyone.

She spoke with her actions, and she led by example. She had a huge heart that knew no limits.

She was fiercely loyal and genuinely cared about people and she always stood for the truth, no matter the circumstance. You always knew where you stood with Kimi, she made no bones about telling you either.

She looked out for those she cared about, for her friends, for her guild

Kimilyn was one of the good ones and she will always be missed.
