I know the devs get more crap then good comments but I was reading this on msn and it just blows your mind.

Technolog - Grieving widow thanks gamers for their support

I'm not sure who I feel worse for, the woman who lost her husband, or the child who will never know his/her father.

It's a sad story and my heart goes out to his wife and child. He swerved to take the hit to save both his wife and unborn child.

Damn...

Three people killed and a child left fatherless because some moron wanted to take off her shirt while driving. She needs hefty prison time.

 

[outcry]

A tragic loss for the wife and unborn child to never know what a great father he would have had... Hearts and prayers for safe and healthy baby

Sad story...but how does this in any way relate to UO?

Hard to even say what you think with something like that.

What a tragic loss. Hopefully if it saves a life or reminds us of what is important perhaps her loss and the childs loss is not for nothing.

Sad that drugs were mentioned and you wonder how much of a role that played in the tragedy. Sad as well that not only did he lose his life but 2 others died needlessly as well. I'm sure their parents are crushed as well.

Seeing things like this as often as I do you still can't help but feel sad. Hopefully with time she'll be able to move on and focus on her baby.

It doesnt. He was a game dev for another game company but they also are in their own community. Even though many devs change companies and compete against each other they are also their own community. Every post doesnt have to be about UO 100% Lord Chaos. Its nice being a little human after all. Never know maybe a UO/EA/Mythic dev have met this guy at one time.

From RoC

S. Off Topic (OT) are not prohibited, but should be posted within reason. There are some topics that are not appropriate for the forums. All posts are subject to these rules. Excessive OT posts will be dealt with on a case by case basis.

In my opinion, this relates to us as a fellow game community, therefore is 'within reason'.

Thank you Petra

May our prayers and thoughts go out to the families hurt by this. Let us all also be thankful for the community we have here online and at home. Without this type of support times like this would be virtually impossible to overcome.
