We here at MMORPG.com are saddened to inform our readers that former Community Manager Laura "Taera" Genender passed away on August 13th.

Laura, who was a long time volunteer with our site before becoming our Community Manager, had recently taken a job working on EVE Online for CCP.

Needless to say, Laura was a cherished co-worker and a beloved friend to all of us here at MMORPG.com. We miss her already.

Tomorrow, MMORPG.com will honor her memory by way of a posted memorial to a dear friend.

Cheers,
Jon Wood

Jon, has there been any word on what happened?

Goozex.com Try it, you'll like it.

Don't have sigs with a cheerleaders butt swinging in it, or the prudes in the Age of Conan forum section of mmorpg.com will demand the mods have it removed.

No, I'm not entirely sure to be honest. I'm sure we will find out in time.

I''d rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

A sad day indeed.  God bless Laura's family and those who knew her.

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

When they make The Elder Scrolls into a MMORPG, what bit of a life I currently have will completely evaporate.

Okay, it's not really important to know right now. It's just someone of her age and apparent vigor passing kinda kicks my brain for a loop. I just pray it was peaceful, whatever the reason.

As us, Prayers & comfort thoughts to her family & friends

 

for her life; helping others with her heart. She will be missed. Her Spirit lives in those she touched in the time she graced us with her presence.

Don't know what to say really. She will be missed & she was taken away way too early from us.

Ask a question and you are stupid for 30 seconds, never ask and you are stupid for life.

She was a good person and I thought she did her job well. Its really sad that she passed away.

 

I'm going to guess it was an illness, since passed away seems a more peaceful term. I hope she died not in pain or anything.
