As we were sitting down to our evening meal today we received a telephone call from West Yorkshire police who were trying to find the next of kin for a man who had been found deceased at his home. Our telephone number was among his effects.
Sadly we on Europa knew him as Barian.

That’s very sad news - although he’s not been in game for a couple of years, his namesake cat is still at West Britain Bank.
Rest in peace Barian.

Such sad news so sorry to hear this. I only pop in to Stratics once in a while, and this is terrible news. My condolences to his family and friends.

words fail me, I don't check in here much any more but I do think of some of the people I used to play or deal with with on a regular basis, and Barian is one of those.

This hits oddly hard, as I remember Barian as being one of the nicest guys on the shard and I remember some of my first dealings with him being when he helped me out not long after I started playing.

RIP Barian.

Very sad to hear about this, albeit a few months late. Barian always struck me as a really genuine person who cared deeply about his community and friends. He was the last shard-specific moderator we had here on Stratics, as even when the rest of us transitioned into general moderators he wanted to focus solely on the Europa forum to take care of the community here, as he had for so many years. Rest in peace.
