Me neither. It has been on my mind all day. The thought of her dying a horrible bloody death puts a pit in my stomach. More so, I wonder sometimes if there could have been something I could have done, maybe make a long post on here that she could have read that might have stalled her a few more seconds and changed the course of that day, perhaps harmlessly passing by whatever caused the accident (probably a piece of **** drunk driver) rather than connecting with it.

We've given Kyrin lifetime premium so that her avvy and sig will not disappear. I also edited her sig yesterday in case you didn't see it.

I didn't know her well DF, other than her posts here, but that is a lovely tribute from Alla. Hopefully it will bring solace to her friends here at some point in the future.

I got the news from my wife when I was at work. She called and I was just floored by the news. We have been long-time viewers of Alla, but recent posters, and we much enjoyed Kyrin. I even made a Mage a few months ago because she seemed to have so much fun playing one I wanted to try it out. It's a shame and my heart goes out to all of her family and friends and anyone who knew her on the MMOs she played.

I also wish Darqflame well. It must have been hard to find out the news yourself and we are very grateful. It's comforting to know that the Admins do care about us and will go out of their way to find the truth.

I can't say I knew her, but it's sad to hear that.

"lifetime?" I say, that's in rather poor taste, isn't it?

Her posting life will remain as a tribute. Isn't that enough at a time like this?

It's funny how you can become attached to someone over wires and waves. I thought Kyrin was a funny and witty poster and wish I had the opportunity to know her better. She seemed like one of those "in your face" women that was very confident and sassy in the role of female.

I'm truly sorry to hear that she is no more in this life but I'm glad to know that she will live on with her avatar and picture available if we need reminding how short this life and journey can be.

My thoughts, prayers, and hopes that one day all the happy memories will return go out to her family and friends.

Admins, may I request giving sticky status to the recent Cerberus and Pandy forum thread on Kyrin?

I met her in game a few weeks ago when I came back... Didn't even know that til someone told me her character name was Tyrigosa...

She was one of the nicest people I've met on FFXI (and I'm not just saying that).

She will be missed tremendously.

I've considered that, and I've seen the request that someone else made earlier. I'm leaning towards no, and this is my reasoning.

I don't think Kyrin would want us to dwell on this long term. Yes we should remember her, and we should grieve, but I think at some point she would want all of us to move on, and a sticky might complicate that. These threads have a way of staying on the front pages as long as they are needed by the forum population, so I don't think we should sticky them at this time.

Koa-- If possible can it be added to one of the existing stickies? I know Kyrin would not want to be remembered for all eternity but, perhaps, it's a reminder to us and all those that we interact with in game that we are not just pixels and that our time in game and in life may be cut short.

Just a consideration.... Thank you

This hits us hard. Over the years, we see posters come and go. Sometimes we are hard on you, sometimes we seem like we don't interact with you as much as we sometimes should, but each one of you affects us in some way. There are people in the past who abruptly stop posting, and we are left wondering what happened. This is the first one in 10 years where this has come up as reality. I can honestly say this is one of the days I have long dreaded.

Darkflame is taking this very hard, as she is a very empathic person. The rest of us are too. It's not something we ever wanted to deal with.

I hope it is the last such message I ever post here.


I know the feeling...I don't think I've ever taken something this hard..it's just to real...

I'm so sorry to everyone close to her especially her friends and family. To those close to her please know that even those who barely knew her are taking this hard as well. She was a brilliant person.

Seeing that picture got me rather emotional, I was pretty flattered when she used that avatar; definitely fit her better than me =/

Just awful for this to happen, she seemed like a nice person and very fun to be around.. She recently transfered to my server, sad that I'll never get to see her in-game Smiley: cry

I did that with my wife before I went to work today.

For the people that knew her from the FFXI Cerberus server, I have a pretty good idea how you feel. We lost a player on Garuda a few years ago (whose name I don't recall at the moment). Just because you know them from a video game as opposed to offline doesn't make it any less painful.

This forum gives you quite a thick skin but even though I didn't know Kyrin, I feel sad hearing what's happened.
#176 Apr 24 2009 at 2:36 AM Rating: Decent
Farewell, Kyrin , you will be missed, by your real life family and friends, by your gaming friends, by the OOT, and by me. I didn't know you that well, but I'll miss seeing that avatar popping up in threads.

It's also sad that we were talking about this site in the OOT a while ago, about how people would find out. Im glad we DO know, rather than it just be another unexplained absence
