Last night was special...memorial ride for GrandpaSTS

lasertooth

Last night I witnessed a beautiful thing--Players coming together across all factions (xboxNA) to pay and show respect for Grandpa STS, an ESO pvp'er who recently passed away. For those of you who didn't know, GrandpaSTS was one of the nicest people I've ever met. He was always in our guild chat making us laugh. He brought joy to us everyday. He was a good guy, and a good friend. He was always in a cheerful mood. He was terrible at muting his mic...much to our entertainment. Here our guild takes a moment to recall some of our best GrandpaSTS moments.


A memorial ride around all the emp keeps was organized yesterday. We met up around glademist and prepared to start the long ride around cyrodil. A few AD players had ridden all the way out here to gank people. They were killed...but not all of the AD players had ill intentions. Some of them were there to join the ride. Unfortunately they were killed as well. Sorry bout that



A few EP players met up with us at the next keep. They were standing there, all using the salute emote, as we rode past. They then joined with us for the rest of the ride. That would've brought tears to GrandpaSTS...


There were so many people who joined. The lag was insane. The AD players with good intentions were revived and welcomed into the ride. The server would freeze and drop 20+ of us at the same time. But ah, no worries, that's just cyrodiil for ya...lol.



GrandpaSTS loved pvp. Knowing how many people came out for him, including players from other alliances...all of this would've made him so happy.


Thank you everyone for making last night so special.

We will always miss you GrandpaSTS.
Xoxo

Something like this is definitely touching. But it doesn't stop me from thinking about all the other potential long time players of the game who may have passed away over the years unnoticed.

Lovely way to recognise a lost player. Much respect.

I'm an EP, really sorry to not participate, my timezone is really different ... Granpa will never be forgotten...

Great job guys, you all are amazing!

That truly is a lovely way to honour a fallen ESO'er, thank you for sharing this. My condolences to you, your Guild, and all others who knew him - he must have been a wonderful person, and this is more than a fitting tribute to recognise that.

Very touching. Thank you so much for sharing. Wish I had known GrandpaSTS. Fair Winds And Following Seas GrandpaSTS.

Dad’s of Destiny did something like this. A memorial for a fallen friend and clan member. These people in our guilds become our friends and for some they become part of an extended family. My thoughts go to you and your guild mates.

Reading that gave me chills. May he rest in peace and may his loved ones find comfort during their time of sorrow.

This is what MMOs are about. Nice to see rallying of a community

Right after I came back to the game yesterday I ended up raging about the problems still in ESO here on the forums but moments like this are really what make it such a great game, sometimes we forget that

RIP grandpa

Lexxypwns

Wow, this is a really great thing. I'm really sorry for your loss and really proud of our community for this

Such a beautiful story and gesture. Thanks for sharing!

Although I didn't know him, your tribute was awesome. Thank you so much for sharing.

I've been in ESO since it launched on the PC/Mac in April 2014 — I am currently on the PS4 — and events like this never cease to amaze me. It's a wonderful way to remember a lost guild mate.

It renews my faith in humanity, too. And after recent events, it's much needed. Focus on the good, ladies and gents, focus on the good.

Thanks for taking the time to share this, it is a really nice story.

This is beautiful and very touching. He must have been a great person. Thanks for sharing.

I've had to cope with guildies going in the past. It's nice to see things like this done for those who have fallen.
