He was truly one of a kind. More than any other, I'm convinced I'll never meet another like him.

Rest in peace old friend. The world feels smaller without you in it.

It's hard to fathom, really. He's been a part of this community for so many years, but it's only in recent months, since his succession to trial developer, that I had gotten to interact with him more. I wish I had gotten to know him better. My condolences to his friends and family in these hard times.

We have posthumously granted him the rank of developer. It's the least we could do to honor his memory. We will not forget him.

Having just heard of this unfortunate passing, I must say it's hard to learn that he has passed.

Even though we haven't really been in touch over the last few years, I do have some great memories of things we did and spoke about in-game.

My sincerest condolences to those close to him and may he find peace and rest.

Hard to accept this tragic news...

Rapsey and myself were also planning to attend his funeral, but apparently his father would like to only invite family and a few close friends. There is a website where you can send your condolences online, but I'm not sure if I'm at liberty to share the link. If one of his close friends would happen to know if it's okay to share the site with the PkHonor community, please let us know so other people can send their condolences and support to the family.

It is surreal to think that someone who has been such a significant part of this community for 10 years is gone. We all got to see the massive amounts of personal growth that he went through alongside us. His contributions to the discussions within our community can not be understated and will be missed.

Someone who has become so synonymous with PkHonor is certainly deserving of a permanent place in-game. I think we should add some statue or feature to commemorate his contributions and life. Not sure what the best way to do that is, but I think we should.

We are already planning on adding a permanent in-game memorial in the form of a statue, we've already settled on a statue that his friends agreed would be a fitting object to place, we also found a possible spot to put it (Varrock palace), now all we need is a proper text to put on it.

I do admit, this tragic event, despite it being a hard time, seeing how youre going about this, and really making an effort to have each and everyone of us remember him by, its a feeling I got back when Hamade was apart of the community, and always driven to make a difference and community a better place. I thank you for the time you set aside to make this happen, and it shows those who think you might not be so community driven that's not you! I hope in the hard times we are all coming to push across, we all stay connected with each other, because we are all almost at the point in life where we need each other.

I didnt know Lieven, and his death has impacted me a lot. Ive cried all morning, not understanding why because I didn't know him on a personal level, but the fact he spent his days with us at such a young age when he should have been out and having fun enjoying his little time he didnt know he had left, is what made the tears come out. He genuinely cared about all of us, even if he did shout out some memes and made direct statements towards us to make us think hes someone hes not.

With that being said, Mike, I really wish you communicate with us a bit more. Tragedy's can happen at any moment for no reason at all as we have seen. If this is how we feel about the personal that made us feel good about ourselves everytime he logged in, imagine what we would feel when we wake up one day and something were to happen to you, or rapsey, or anyone else that gave us the escape we needed in life in order to power through the struggles, and wish we had a chance to say thank you for all youve done and get a chance to have a way we can cope rather than wonder what we should have done.

For everyone else, I might not know all of you, but I know most of you. You guys are the reason I login to play, because of the love I feel from everyone I interact with! We all have ups, and we all have downs. I just want you to know if anyone is ever feeling anything and want to share, Im only a message away! After what happened, I want to try to get to know everybody as much as I can. This really opened up my eyes as how much we each mean to each other!
