Representing ye olde Euro Crew, sadly I forgot the name of the British Lady who played with us as well. Miss you guys, and "our" fantasy world, too.<br />Can't believe Arianna passed away... her character was always so cheerful when i met her in game (which was too seldom)... really don't know what to say, but i'm very sad to read it. Kind greetings to the rest of you, hope you all have some of the comfort, magic and fellowship that i felt in the game in your lives now.
