For Feolas!
8:28 AM Posted In World of Warcraft Edit This 1 Comment »
Well I sat in front of my computer last night in complete and utter shock for quite a few hours. Unable to do much of anything. A WoW friend of mine that I have known for close to 5 years passed away. Even now this is hard to type through the tears.
Some people think you cannot be friends with 'pixels.' And that just because I dont hang out with someone in Real Life that I cannot be friends or become attached. That is just not true. I have more friends online then I do in real life. Probably because I do not make friends easy and I know I am not the easiest person to be around a lot. But Feolas I considered a friend.
I met him when I was looking for a Molten Core raid. I was denied entrance to one because the nefarious leader did not want more mages in it. Ultimately I began my own raid, but most of what I learned about Raid Leading I learned from Feolas. He was cool calm and collected, it was VERY rare that I ever heard him angry on TS or Vent. He put up with a LOT of egos, a lot of stupid shit and always managed to keep his raids running smoothly. I know I was not always the raid leader that Feo was, but I tried very hard to emulate his style. I just saw how his calm manner kept the raid running smoothly even when we were to be blunt, sucking.
When he took over the Winter Wolves current 25 I was excited. I honestly enjoyed running with Feo - he was fun to joke with and if you needed encouragement, he would give you a pat on the back that you would need to excel.
He always seemed so full of life and excited about the game when you heard him on Vent... I wish I knew he was hurting as much as he was. I will miss him very much... and I honestly wish this was just a sick joke. I know it does not do well to dwell on grief... so I am going to try and focus on the good times I have had messing around with him on the internet.
And I am going to make sure to express to my friends, real life and online how much they mean to me, even if I do not always show it.
Rest in Peace Cameron. I am a better person for having met you.

He was one of the best raid leaders I've had in a long while, and I've been through a bunch.
Whereever he is now, I hope he's found peace and comfort and I know he can see how much we all loved him.
