ShardWarrior Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 So saddened to hear about his passing. I did not know him in real life, but knew him for many years back on live. I was delighted to reconnect with him here again on Homecoming. We both have a couple of alts in our respective SGs and shared many a fun adventure teaming together, impressing each other with our base creations and having wonderful conversations about all kinds of topics, especially his passion with language. Truly a kind soul and one of the nicest, most sincere people I had the pleasure of meeting. May you rest in peace Steve. My heartfelt condolences to your loved ones and friends. Paragon City will not be the same without you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninja surprise Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Ah man. I got to team with him many times on live over the years. Our SGs were coalitioned and he was always a fantastic dude role-playing his classic tanks. Dang it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tidge Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I thought this might be of interest. The only architect souvenir I have on most of my characters is this one from testing one of Heraclea's AE missions. typos are mine, and in place of certain unicode characters he used, I used ascii. A letter of commendation from Heaven Ante prinipium erat quædam testudo. Et ista testudo sola fuit. Et circumspicit, et vidit vicinam eius quæ mater sua erat; et se deposuit super vicinam eius, et ecce, paruit ei in lacrimis quercum, quæ omne die creuit, et tunc decidit, et fecit pontem. Et ecce, sub isto ponte venit silurus, et ambulabat, et valde magnus erat, et fuit maximus quod vidit. Et tales autem fuerent colei ignei haec piscis, ex quibus vnus erat Sol; et alter, Lunam appellauerunt. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Community Rep Easter Bunny Posted May 25, 2022 Community Rep Share Posted May 25, 2022 /em holdtorch So sorry to hear of his passing and my condolences to all those who knew him. I was only familiar with him through his love of base building and his delightful and always warm posts. I didn’t have the pleasure of being his friend but always appreciated his passion and joy that he had for this game and our community. I can only imagine what a pillar of light he must have been to all those who knew him. Rest in peace, Heraclea. 1 1 EB • Community Base Directory • Base Building Guide • City of Base Building Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herotu Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 On 12/21/2021 at 11:26 PM, The Philotic Knight said: It is with the heaviest of hearts that I must report the passing of my friend, @Heraclea, known to "real life" humans as Steve Gustafson, who passed away peacefully on Sunday December 19th. Heraclea loved a lot of the music I do. I was browsing the "Return of the Son of Jukebox" thread and his signature has a bunch of ... I think they're supergroup base and architect codes. Presumably his work? Certainly worth exploring, and (to the devs) perhaps saving, somehow, in honour of Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milk Sheik Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Wow. I haven't checked out this section of the boards before, I had no idea. Heraclea and I shared a love for Greek mythology, and I'm still coalitioned with the Amazon SG. I just assumed the player went to a different server or something. /em holdtorch 2 Refight the Trojan War and stop Arachnos in the time-traveling "Dr. Aeon and the Wrath of Achilles," 5 missions full of heroic allies and smash/lethal EBs, AE#31899!
