This weekend, we celebrated the life of our Gnomeregan Forever guildmaster—and friend—Forbidra.
To our comrades in <Gnomeregan Forever>, it was a beautiful memorial. #ForbidraForever pic.twitter.com/8OYe1JnyAd

It was lovely to have so many players take time out of their day to share a few words about Forbs, or to simply join in the cheers of “Forbidra Forever!”
Thank you @pommie_tappet, @PancakeMix85, @TerranGregory, @BenGrandblade, @SiccoThermaplug, and all I missed who attended. There were so many kind, caring people there.
Especially all of @G4WrA who organized the memorial. I know Forbs would have been proud. #ForbidraForever pic.twitter.com/DNjRPDS3fq

Ironwolf Clan paid its respects tonight at Forbidra’s memorial. Tonight we weren’t Horde or Alliance, just friends. It reminded me of @mikemorhaime’s Blizzcon keynote “be kind and respectful for one another, and let’s remind the world what the game community is really all about.” pic.twitter.com/uRAWv4RbOZ

This show of support for Forbs—and for the gnomes—greatly touched me and my fellow guildmates.
Know that I am Preaching to the audience on this one. But if ever anyone says to you in game relationships aren’t real. I think that we can all agree that this was real. Sad but real. pic.twitter.com/BUv3CTMjFj

In the crowd, I saw former members, Twitter friends, and Warcraft community leaders—especially the WRA guilds—all coming together to celebrate one gnome’s life’s work.

Never joined Gnomeregan Forever myself, but as someone who’s played on WRA since its inception, Forbs & G4 always brought a smile to my face. It’s a shame Forbs never saw Gelbin’s 8.1 Hero moment or what’s to come later but I’m sure they would’ve loved it. #ForbidraForever ⚙️ pic.twitter.com/3wJT30YBNc

After the formal memorial, we marched in a procession to Ironforge, and set up shop in Tinkertown, sharing ale and stories.
