For those of you who may have missed it, the service was wonderful. Shambla and I will be posting some of the logs here and for those who wish more just /tell us and we will send the logs. Until then, here's a song that describe our feelings for our fallen Paladin and very close friend.

He truly was a soldier and a Paladin and would do anything to help someone.
Shambla and I loved him like family, and he will live on in our hearts and Materi's wife, Siobhonne and their game children, Artoros and Igriania.
If anyone sees or thinks of something that reminds you of him, please feel free to post it. All the thread comments and the logs from the Memorial will be sent to his family by Shambla and myself.
Thank you all for the love and support you have given, and say hello to Siobhonne and the children in game if you see them.

Korenis and I have decided to keep Materis in game for Siobhonne and to honour his friendship. Don't be surprised if you see Siobhonne and Materis together from time to time Love and hugs to all and thank you for your continued love and support. It helps more than you will ever know. That is what makes Planeshift special to me and as I said before I wouldn't be the same without it.

I don't know how to tell you all this, but Materis passed away at 11.28 this morning central standard time. It turns out the broken ribs tore a 4 inch long hole in his aorta and he bled out instantly and there was nothing anyone could do. He did however write a will to all of his Planeshift friends. He said thank you all for being there for him when he needed you and he did read the posts and he cried when he read them. He loves all of you and wants you all to work together to make this the best community ever in any game. I will keep you all posted about the family. He was in game last night and many messaged him and he felt the love and caring and was honored to have you all as friends. Korenis is taking it really hard so if you see him let him know you care. I love you all and thank you for helping us through this impossibly difficult time. This comes as a horrible shock to Shambla and myself as we honestly felt he was out of danger. Korenis will be on to execute Materi's Planeshift will. Materis wanted certain people to have his things from game and his character will remain in game as part of Korenis's game family, so don't be surprised if you see him at the Ojaveda gold mine. Love and hugs to all and please take care of yourselves...and each other.
P.S. If you see Siobhonne hug her...(she is Materi's game wife and is pregnant with his boy/girl twins.)

Hey everyone! For those of you who were not on last night, Materis got his cousin Korenis to bring his laptop to the hospital. He was actually in game for a little bit!  hehehehe  He is doing much better, though still weak and tires very quickly. He says keep the good thoughts and well wishes coming....to all who know who we are and what is going on and how Shambla and I work on healing others...what you believe and what you are doing for him IS working. He has already come back from the brink of death 3 times now and is healing faster than the drs ever thought he could. Keep it up folks! Thank you all my friends and even if I dont know you on a personal level outside game, my life wouldnt be the same without all of you. Be safe everyone and should you need help in game, OR real life, please feel free to ask me or Shambla...we would be happy to assist you. Oh! and before I forget...please pass that song along to those you care about. You don't have to be religious to have faith in the healing powers of the human mind and the love and caring of friends and family. I myself am not religious but spiritual. If you want to know more about what I do to heal people feel free to ask. Hope to see you all in game soon and have fun!

Thank you everyone for caring. This is why I wanted this done here, as planeshift players act  more like family than friends. I do know Materis outside game and we are very close friends. This came on the heels of Shambla and I nearly dying from carbon monoxide poisoning 8 days ago and Gharin having a heart attack 11 days ago. I know him outside game too and he is also a close friend. Many people I know here are family more than anything; that is what I like so much about this community. Because of common ground we can pull together and act as a team when needed. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers folks...it IS working. Thank you all. 

I got into Planeshift thru a friend who was trying to find good mmorpgs we could play for free. I have not wanted to play any other game since Also I was looking to get away from *gag* Runescape!  haha
