General Discussion

As many of you probably already know, MMORPG.com lost a family member last week when we got word that former Community Manager Laura Genender had passed away.

Today, we pay tribute to her in the best way that we know how: with this memorial feature. Out of respect for Laura, her family and friends, we will not be adding any additional content today.

When we thought about how best to pay tribute our dear friend and colleague Laura Genender we decided that we should write, as much or as little as we felt that we needed to, to tell everyone a little bit about a woman that we here at MMORPG.com were proud to call a colleague and a friend.

When you've finished reading, we would like to encourage you to spend some time in the forums, either reading some of the many posts that have already been made about Laura or posting something of your own. We know that she had interactions with many of you and would love to hear any thoughts or stories that you may have.

Laura's parents have requested that anyone in our community who feels like they want to should compose a short letter or story about Laura that can be sent to them through us here at MMORPG.com. You can email those to me at editor@mmorpg.com. Thanks.

Read the memorial here.

I have to say I'm utterly shocked. She had only just barely begun her work at CCP and was already a positive influence on the community there. I always enjoyed her work here at MMORPG.com and was looking forward to what she would accomplish at CCP.

My sincerest condolences to all her family and friends. 

Never realised Laura was so young.

This is a sad, sad news for us all.

Laura rocked.

That's all I have to say.

My sincere condolences. 

/thoughts and prayers

my biggest condolences

im silenced.... Godspeed Laura

That was a very touching article, such a shame she passed away. Yesterday when I found out I was upset the whole day

I talked to her a few times (even told her she looked good). I know not everyone agreed with what she did, but I thought she did a good job myself.

Any news on how she died? I think a lot of us are curious on how. I hope it wasn't anything painful and she died peacefully.

She was everything in a woman I admire, ashame to see her time end so suddenly. World and time enough.. Rest in peace Laura. 

I will miss you.................

 What! , This saddens me greatly.  Earlier this year a prankster pretended to be Laura on Myspace and earned my trust . When the Real Laura showed up , her and I turned the tables on the impersonator.

  This prankster I own a debt too , for it forced me into a postive relationship with Ms. Laura and because of that relationship I am better for.

Bless her Family and friends for their great loss.

Jestor!
