Hi guys, I'm afraid I have some sad news for you all. Yesterday evening Ercles lost his battle with cancer and passed away. He was diagnosed with cancer for the third time this June and was doing well until last Tuesday when he was admitted to hospital. He died peacefully at 19:44 local time last night, with his family at his side. Many of you will know Erc from his activities in SAN and from his blog, The Barrens Chat. I know he had a great time with SAN and loved the in-game fun he had with you guys. His guild Absolution have put up a public thread to place pictures and comments to remember the amazing guy that Ercles was. I will also be putting up a memorial post on our blog later today. All those who knew Erc will miss him, he was a truly special person.

I had the honor of getting to meet Erc on Darkmoon Faire and even raiding with him a bit before he went back to his beloved druid and horde. He was a young man with a great sense of humour and lots of patience. I am saddened to hear of his passing but I will console myself with the thought that he is somewhere better, perhaps playing WoW the whole day. May the Light be with you Ercles.

Without Erc, I'd never have come to AD. I'd don't really know what to say beyond how much I'll miss him, and that it's a terrible terrible loss.

This is extremely sad news, thank you for delivering it.
I've got lots of fond memories of spending time with Erc..
He's cheered me up, and backed me up, more times than you can imagine.
You're so right Wulfy, Erc was special.
I'll miss him.

Sorry guys we had a slight problem with the Absolution RIP thread that was stopping guests from commenting. If you would like to share your thoughts or pictures there you should now be able to do so.
Currently writing a blog post but its very hard. I'm going to miss him terribly.

Just to add my thoughts and tears. I thought I was cried out by now but it appears that's not the case. I'm steeling myself to go and read the Abso thread.
Erc was an incredibly special man, one of the most courageous people that I have ever met. He taught me so much about myself and gave me courage, and will remain forever etched on my heart.
Matty, wherever you are now I'm damn sure you have wings and are soaring above us all. Goodnight my darling.
Wulfy - thanks for making this thread, my thoughts are with you and the Abso guys.
