Even though I haven't played Diablo 2 in ages, I still log in every now and then to keep my acocunt active and take a look around. It would appear, however, that I waited too long this time--I logged in yesterday and my characters had all expired. Most of them are free to go, and will not be missed, but one of them was special. One of them was more than just a character. I'm afraid I must with heavy heart announce the passing of Wychfire, veteran tankazon.
Wychfire was a tankazon who began life so early in the game's release that tankazon wasn't even a word yet--she was the first, and a glorious pioneer. She could stand toe to toe with the toughest bad guys in the game and whack them in the face for hours, never taking any damage as she slowly wore them down to zero life. She was something of a matriarch for all of our other characters, having existed for far longer than any of them. She was a special woman, and she will be sorely missed.
Please observe a moment of silence.
