ShardWarrior Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Like so many others here, I was truly saddened to hear of the passing of Steve Gustafson, better known to us here as @Heraclea. Those of us that knew him can tell you he was a kind and decent soul with great passion for so many things in life, this game and community being among them. From his volumes of forum posts over the years offering advice, selections of music, discussing literature and language or funny anecdotes to his role in leading teams for TFs, Hami Raids and the ever popular Tanker Tuesdays, his loss will be felt by all. Hera was truly a rock upon which this community is built. He will be missed. Like others who have had their characters immortalized in game, I cannot think of a more worthy memorial for his main character of Heraclea than inclusion into the world of City of Heroes as a permanent fixture in Cimerora. It was one of his favorite zones in game and the ITF being one of his favorite TFs, it seems the best place for Heraclea to stand watch. I think it would be a wonderful homage to his memory and a tribute to someone who brought so much joy and passion to so many here. I humbly request that the Homecoming staff consider this. Thank you. 11 3 4 38 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwitchFade Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 To his continuing adventure, we toast! In the here and now, his memorialization in Cimerora should definitely occur. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancrusher Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Barely knew the guy, but his amazon-motif characters and bases seemed legendary to me. He clearly had a love for greek/roman styled game play, and I certainly read and enjoyed many of his posts. I'm happy to give my upvote to this suggestion. 👍 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clave Dark 5 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 (edited) Oh no, I didn't know he'd passed until right now. Wonderful person every time I interacted with him, he even once translated some AE dialogue into Latin for me for an arc for some Roman NPCs. Definitively someone who deserves memorializing here, hands down, no ifs, ands, ors. Should probably be somewhere in Cimerora, yeah.

TerroirNoir Posted January 9, 2022 Share Posted January 9, 2022 If they ever get around to having Firemullet as actual NPCs somewhere in game (I think someone proposed PDP be refit as a rock club or something) then Heraclea should be one of the band! 5 1 Great to be back in CoX!

Lead Game Master GM Impervium Posted January 9, 2022 Lead Game Master Share Posted January 9, 2022 Hey folks, I know saying something like "keep it kind" sounds like a platitude at this point, but a thread like this is really NOT the place for an argument or petty bickering. So, I hid a few posts. That said, this sort of thing clearly has precedent, but it's ultimately up to the Devs and HC leads. 5 4 1 GM ImperviumHomecoming FAQ; Need a hand? File a Support Ticket!

I thought about that as well, however considering that seemed like a lot more work for the team here and given Heraclea's origins/theme, I thought Cimerora was more fitting. Amazon Army was always his first home. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason some people may be resistant to this idea is because it was handled rather poorly back in Resurgence. I can't go into more detail than that here, since it's still something of a controversial subject, so that's all I'll say on the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
