In Memory of Wynthyst [ edit ]

We at ArenaNet were saddened to learn of the passing of Wynthyst, a vital member of the Guild Wars community.

Wynthyst was an active member of the wikis, where she played an active role as contributor and then administrator. She was passionate about wikis and her passion was contagious. Wynthyst interacted a lot with ArenaNet on the Guild Wars wiki and her work over the years was recognized with the creation of an NPC in the Zaishen Menagerie who represented her love of animals (birds in particular). She continued her work on the Guild Wars 2 wiki, always with the same unstoppable energy and cheerfulness.

After a while, she decided to level up her dedication to wikis by taking up an offer to work with Curse.com on their official wikis. As busy as she was, Wynthyst continued to talk and offer advice from time to time to folks in the Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 wiki communities. In the words of the Gamepedia team , "She was an irreplaceable part of our team and community and will be missed immensely."

In memory of Wynthyst, ArenaNet built a new grave in the Stronghold of Ebonhawke cemetery, where a drakehound and a tamable juvenile lynx stand respectfully nearby.

The inscription reads:

Thyst, 1277-1327

Tireless scribe and friend to animals

She left her mark on Tyria

and is now at peace in the Mists
