The New Empire/Ryzom loses a dear friend

[therowan]

It is my sad, sad duty to inform the homins of Atys that on Saturday, April 28th, a great friend of ours, and tho you may not have known it, of Yours, has passed away.
As Sixxus, he was the Guildleader of The New Empire almost from its inception (give or take a few months). A pirate at heart, he always had a kind word for everyone and anyone. He loved the game and loved seeing others enjoy it as much as he did. Man, was he hopeless at melee. *grins sadly* But he'd give it his all each time.
Early on in life on Atys, he was asked to join the Jolt staff as a CSR, which he accepted with a happy heart. Dever was born. Again, he was able to help hominkind with a fair hand and generous personality. And did I mention that he loved being a pirate? His forte, in my opinion, was coordinating and directing, even writing Events. All of you have met Wormbreath, or at least have heard of him. Wormy was him to a tee. You should have heard him on Skype with 'Yarrrrs' and 'Me harty' and 'Me pretty's.

My friend Doug/Sixxus/Dever/Wormy passed away in his sleep. He'd been working on his summer cottage, preparing it for the coming season of fun and relaxation with his family. He went to take a nap to restore his energy and did not wake.
All of us who knew him well are simply shocked at this loss. I know he touched a lot of people. I'd like to hear from those of you who knew him. Please, remember him here for us. Give us your stories of this salty dawg.

*pours a mug'o'grog on the ground* For you.

*cries* I am not TNE, and I only knew this fellow as Dever but he was always kind and willing to help a hand. I was upset when I learned he was leaving his CSR role due to GF's disassociation with Jolt...and I remember wishing him good luck in the future

Rest in peace, you scurvy dog

Oh dear!
Rest in peace mate.
It was an honor being able to live on Atys with you!

[dakhound]

Rest in peace the regent of the new empire. Sixxus was a good to me suring my long time with TnE

[komissar]

Rest in Peace mate, I have not known you personally but it is always a tragedy to see a great person go to the realms unknown... May you tread lightly wherever your new path takes you...

[rabcaz]

Farewell dear Dever, a bright light in many dark hours.
A kind face always ready to help those in need and one to always bring a smile onto faces.

This day Atys have lost a great Homin, a great man. But it has the honour of carrying his memories on.
In our hearts and our memories he shall forever live. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.

Set the sails and ready to leave the harbor for the greatest of journeys my friend.

It's difficult to know what to say in these times.

Sixxus / Dever was always an easy person to get on with, on msn, ingame or Klients.

When i last spoke to him he was all so excited about PotBS - A true pirate lover, I guess he wont get to see that game released

I was a honour knowing you through TNE Sixxus.

Rest In Peace.

I got only one thing to say; have fun in the afterlife man.

It's always sad to hear about anybody leaving us, especially when they love the sea......

Good Bye, Fare Thee Well - as sung by the crew of Zawisza Czarny
We're going away to leave you now
Good bye, fare thee well
Good bye, fare thee well
We're going away to leave you now
Hoorah, me boys, we're homeward bound


Ah, give me the girl with the bonny brown hair
Your hair of brown is the talk of the town


So fare you we're homeward bound
Homeward bound to Liverpool town


So fill up your glasses for those who were kind
And drink to the girls we leaving behind


We're homeward bound I hear them say
We're homeward bound with eleven months pay


Our anchor we'll weigh, our sails we will set
The friends we are leaving we'll never forget


Now, Go Fetch me that Horizon !!!.................
