Love Hurts
Yesterday, we lost a sister.
We lost a friend.
I’m still not sure what to say or think about it. She was so awesome in so many ways. We met her in WoW, a month or two after we started playing. We were fast friends. Both her and D. Back on Lothar, they were in a guild with some friends, but we did a lot of things together.
She was there for my first ding to 60. The Giddglet. Boomkin bookends.
She loved to dance. When we finally made the move from Lothar to Drenden, she and D and a few others came with us. We created a new Aetherial Circle, friends who played together, with lofty hopes of raiding together someday.
And raid we did…
First, gotta get your Kara key.
Then raid some Karazhan.
Lots of Karazhan.
Then some Gruul’s. What can we say? We’re a very druid friendly place <3
Which lead us to SSC pwnage. Mooo…
To now, when we’re chargin’ down Vashj’s door.

She’s gone now. And it hurts. In this day and age where friendships can be made across vast distances, some people may think that our sorrow isn’t as real as if we knew her in real life. But that’s just it, we DID know her. The game was just the bar, the club, the meeting place. In the fall, we’re having a BBQ for AC, people are going to gather to meet in person and shoot the shit for a weekend. She was looking forward to it, and excited to be there.
There’s gonna be an empty spot at the table now.
And it hurts.
We’re gonna miss you Tara. So much…

Although I have only been part of the guild for a very short time, I have been able to bond become friends with many people in that short period of time, and it is very sad to see one of those friendships go.
AC is like a very close-knit family. Everyone is so friendly towards one another, and so helpful. I am glad that I could be part of this family (I guess I am the rebellious teenager who only comes home every once in awhile to hit up mom and pop for some cash).
We not only lost a friend, but a family member. She will be missed.

Fio & Cay, and to the rest of AC: My deepest and most heartfelt sympathies go out to all of you on the loss of your friend and companion. You wonderful group of player-bloggers have become our friends, and I’m sure many of us feel your loss as though we’ve lost one of our own.
Mere words cannot fill the void in your lives; we can only hope to bring some faint light to the darkness.

I first read and posted on BRK’s wonderful piece about Sharvan tonight. As I run down my blog roll and read all of the amazing and kind things people have wrote about her, the lump in my throat just gets bigger and bigger. This is always so hard
My sympathy goes out to all of AC.

The people you play with are your friends. While many may not understand we spend many hours with those in our guilds and they are friends even family to us. I am so sorry for your loss. My sympathies go out to you and all of AC.

I’m just so sorry for the loss of such a good friend of yours. I would be so upset if I lost any of the people I’ve become friends with on wow, they’re the people we spend our evenings with, they’ve heard us talking about our kids since they were both newborns, they know us and we know them so well. Some people just don’t understand do they?
Love and condolences to everyone in AC, and most importantly to Tara’s family. So sad to lose someone so young

I wanted to stop by and express my deepest sympathies to everyone in AC and Sharvan’s family. I was origionally only going to participate in RoDB if we weren’t raiding that night, but I just sent a note stating that I had something else I had to do. It sounds like you have lost a wonderful friend, who will be remembered for a long time to come. Keep your heads up.
