A dear friend of TESO

Greetings friends of TESO, and to Zenimax,

I'm not here to to begin an argument, or to hate upon anything within the game of The Elder Scrolls Online. In fact, I hope that it becomes rather the opposite. I come today to inform you about a great man who loved this game, and the people in it, who passed away last week in a car accident, where his heart stopped. @Epitokos, a player on the Aldmeri Dominion faction, was an avid roleplayer since pre-launch, and loved the game of ESO. He would play for hours upon hours, had made countless friends, and to those of us that were his guildmates he was family. The guild of Sugar Claw Clan has lost one of it's many brothers and sisters, one that was so dear and near to us all. Zenimax, through this game you have brought so many of us together as a group, a collective family of gigabytes which mean so much to one another. This family is one of people from all over the world, from New Zealand to the backwoods of Kentucky, from Europe to sunny San Diego. So, for that, I, @Mightyman843, thank you wonderfully for this opportunity to have met all of these wonderful people, and for @Epitokos to have enjoyed the game while he was still with us. I ask that you may keep him and his family in your thoughts, knowing how much this game, this social wonder, has helped all of us, especially @Epitokos. His little brother has since inherited the account, and because of Epitokos' love and enjoyment of the game will more than likely continue in playing with the wonderful things you have established here.


From the Sugar Claw Clan of Aldmeri Dominion, thank you.

    Although I am in SCC, I never met him IC or OOC. Only saw him IC once but did not meet. But it does pain me to see my friends in the guild lose someone dear to them. So, I offer my condolences to them.

    Epitokos was a fantastic RPer. He would go above and beyond to make people feel welcome and included, teaching people to RP and write effectively, brightening people's days with silly random whispers and in-game mail. His character, Hunts-With-Magic, barely said a word but his actions changed the course of an entire guild. He was so dedicated to the story and making other people feel epic that he sacrificed his main as part of a scene. His character was buried beneath a massive tree just outside Bandaari Tradepost, and a guard tabard draped over the spot In Character.

    We gathered there after we heard the news, and shared our stories of Epitokos as a family. He and I were there at the beginning, and I'll never forget him. He was like a little brother to me, and I wish more than anything that I could tell him how awesome he is.

    Where is the end game? You just played it.
    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.
