He told me that he had heard of Rekka and his passing, and agreed that a memorial was warranted given his standing on the server. But, they couldn't give memorials to every player who tragically passed. Made sense to me.

Nidor, I didn't know other than the forums, but knew alot of people that knew him. Like Rekka, they said he was a good person, he passed tragically too.. young, from cancer. By the time Nidor died, Orion was long gone as was the entire dev team, and the new less experienced devs obviously didn't hold to the principles Orion did. Nidor also had the advantage of having a Turbine QA guy very devoted to Brandywine PVP who played it as a regular player in secret for years bringing attention to his passing. Rekka didn't. I'm sure that helped.

I still think of the woods south of old EC and west of Bear Valley as "Rekka's Woods".
