I bring you something very different for this week. Topic of the Week would like to remind you all how important in game friendships can be. We all form them?in-game friendships and bonds. Day after day, we see the same names, develop a familiarity, likes and dislikes for each other. We help each other level, farm gear, and develop templates. We join guilds and alliances. We have our cliques and set groups we run with. We get to know each other's likes and dislikes. We get a feel for each other's play style. We compliment one and other. We share personal details about our lives. We exchange emails, telephone numbers, text messages, and may even meet face to face. It may last a few weeks. It may last a few years. At any rate, it is a friendship of sorts.

Nearly three years ago, the Gaheris Server suffered a tragic loss when three people within the same alliance all passed away within weeks of each other. My friend Tim was one of those three. I first met him on Lancelot when he joined a guild I was in. He was just an awesome guy, easy to talk to, very helpful, and fun to be around. We often grouped with a few other friends for nightly RVR. We all helped each other develop templates, farm needed gear, get Master Levels and artifacts. We just had fun together. We moved over to Morgan La Fey for a bit and then went to Gaheris when we needed a break from the PVP. His passing was very sudden, and very unexpected, as were his comrades. Three years ago, the Gaheris community came together to pay tribute to their fallen game mates. Today, Topic of the Week is sharing that tribute and would like to hear about the DAOC friends you've made that you want to remember.

Rest in Peace Timmy, Robin, and Jason. It was fun knowing you!
