When someone says goodbye to the server, or goodbye to a friend on the server it usually comes down to that player being banned. It is sad to see a player who you have played so long beside, become banned and never able to play alongside you again.
Here I am, struggling to type because my hand will not cease to shake because what I have discovered today, with the help of investigations by a few Castellum members... TheWayMaker, or as we called him... Phil, passed away, around a month ago.

We all knew he had medical issues, issues with his digestive system. He would often take 2-3 month breaks from the server to tend to his medical issues. Phil was sent to hospital with severe stomach pains, put in ER but they were unable to keep him alive.

This is going to be a short message for someone who I have played so long beside, to someone has taught me so much not just about this stupid game that he tried so damn hard at despite his medical problems, but at the value of everything, people, how to act and all that. To those who were close to WayMaker, they will probably be feeling as much pain as I am. Those knew what he was like, his achievements were only half the story. I don't know how to end this because I am a bad writer and that doubled with grief does not make it much easier.

"WayMaker when will you get your mic? We want to here you speak for once"
"I say this everytime, I will get it later..."

Rest in Peace waymaker...
 
Oh my god! That's horrible!
May his soul rest in peace wherever it may be.​
 
God this really sucks. Massive lost one of its greatest. I don't want his name to be forgotten.

The Great Way Maker will forever replace the lighthouse in the Harbor of Regalia as the kneeling guard statue, guiding wayward ships to safety.

I didn't know TheWayMaker, but this is still terrible. It's awful to lose a member of this wonderful community. I'm sorry for your loss, and wish you the best of luck in coping with it. My condolences.
 
I remember him. He wrote a story for an event of mine, and even composed a song for Sentinels, which became the inspiration for lyrics later written. We were an inspiration to each other, and I had hoped he'd show up one day with more to the story he wrote before. I suppose apologizing for not keeping contact won't matter now, but I regret it even more now. So I do want to say thank you to the WayMaker as well. I didn't know him as well as his close friends, but he had a dream and he worked hard. Rest well easy, Waymaker. You're well remembered.
 
I can't imagine to fathom the pain of your loss, Made. To this day, I clearly remember how you reminisced about WayMaker during your short stay at Auxillian back in the day; it feels me with immense grief knowing that I never truly met the guy you held so highly.

Just wish that I had more to offer than my condolences. Rest well and easy, you wonderful man.
 
R.I.P. It always sucks whenever someone you know dies, I didn't know him but I'm sure he was a great person.

I'm glad he is remembered and has a statue in his name in Regalia. I am sorry for your loss to anyone who knew him.
 
I first saw TheWayMaker in this thread. http://forums.massivecraft.com/threads/algarons-plans-against-steadfast.1305/
[Which is actually the second last in faction announcements.]

Despite being enemies to at the time I knew just from his few posts that he was a intelligent, caring and helpful member of the community.
As I got to knew him better his image only got better in my eyes and whether we were talking about business, war, history or any other topic I always left with him having done the impossible, raising his image yet again in my eyes.

I am truly saddened by the loss of this great community member, faction leader and architect and am sure the rest of Algaron's old members feel the exact same way.

While many of these people are probably not going to post because of inactivity I am certain their sentiments are the same as mine and many probably have more to add seeing of our long and complicated history with the great Faction of Steadfast.
 
I never met WayMaker, but from what everyone is saying I wish I had.

Rest in peace.
 
Despite my long inactivity, hearing this really saddens me... He was a good friend back at the time when we were actively competing, praising and criticizing each others builds or sometimes even met on the battlefields..

My deepest condolence to you made_by, as his loyal officer and probably one of his closest massive friends

Unfortunately.. I only just managed to see this. During my bouts of activity.. this post had slipped my eye and.. Damn. I honestly have no response, nor can I begin to imagine how to come to words at this news. Thank you for informing us all of this loss, and I know I speak on behalf of /everyone/ who had the blessing to share even a few moments in his company when I say that this news will hit hard, and his name and individual stories and impacts he shared onto each of us will forever be remembered.

Thank you for everything, you brilliant being. Rest easy.
 
I was so sorry to hear of his passing. I know he had a lot of health issues; at least that is all behind him now and he can rest easy.

I know he loved his city/faction of Steadfast and I wish I could have been a better caretaker for him. The city is safe and we will be deciding what we want done with it during the upcoming weeks.

For now, Steadfast will be opened up to anyone who would like to come visit and see the amazing city that TheWayMaker built.

@Made_By
Do you have family contact information?
I would like to send some flowers and a card.

No, unfortunately not.
 
This took an awful long time to write, although it is rather short. I just was trying to phrase my thoughts in the best way possible here.

I'm really sorry this has happened. I know that merely offering my condolences will not be enough, it won't be enough to bring a good person back. But it's the best I can do, and just know that these feelings are genuine. Although I've not ever spoken to WayMaker myself, after reading this post I started crying. Bawling, literally. Death is such a hard thing to process, and knowing that such a valuable member of this amazing community is no longer with us hurt really badly.

If you ever need someone to talk to, don't be afraid to approach me. I'll be here with open arms, and WayMaker and his family are all in my prayers.
 
I'm really sorry to hear about this... I never knew him, but it still hurts to know that there's one less good person on this planet. It seems like the best of us always have the worst luck...

He may not be with us anymore, but he's touched the lives of so many people. May his soul rest in peace.
 
Just noticed this post, and took me awhile to gather my words.

I never had the pleasure of meeting TheWayMaker, though I have seen him mentioned in many a stories of how much he was a great leader and greater friend. His passing brings grief to us all and I wish my condolences, though they may not mean much, to his family and any significant other he has. The sheer amount of kindness from the community really is amazing, seeing how people from different groups whether PVP or RP show their condolences for TheWayMaker. May he always live on in our hearts wherever he may be now.
 
Does the waymaker's family know about massivecraft?
 
So some good and horrible news. Thewaymaker is most likely still around.
I was told yesterday the person that lead the "investigation" and apparently found waymakers name in the Seattle obituary. This person has had something against me as a player for a long time now, and it is no surprise to me that apparently waymakers name was never found in the Seattle Obituary. It was just a lie, and by the time it got to me I panicked and posted this thread. I posted it immediately because all the facts seemed to fit together, waymaker never usually takes long breaks like this without writing to me about what he was taking a break for. I am sorry that I posted this as a lot of you have given your sympathy towards him. I am deeply sickened at the person who made this rumour and spread it through the whole steadfast community, but more annoyed at myself because I should have waited longer and looked further into the rumour that was told to me. This has embarrassed me a lot, sorry if I sound like an asshole now.
 
Welp. Last time I'm believing a player on matters like these. olol.
 
Meh it's all good. Although honestly in my opinion whoever told you that should be reprimanded somehow, I mean that's just NOT cool! But, I'm not a mod so I can't do anything about it. Still, that's a seriously ****ed-up move!!!

What if he's actually dead though? D :
 
To whom this may concern,

I Shambang16 will take partial blame for way these circumstances unfolded, fore I was the one who lead the "investigation" into the whereabouts of our beloved WayMaker. As I delved into contact information with players who said they knew TheWayMaker, a certain someone heard about what I was doing and contacted me via Skype. While we were talking he said he looked up WayMakers personal name which came up as 'Phil'. This person said he found an obituary from the Seattle news, saying that Phil Waymaker had died of a stomach illness. This information coupled with what I knew about TheWayMaker's health problem all made sense, therefore I overwhelmed by grief believed it. I immediately told some of our members and eventually told made_by, who made this post.For us, chaos and confusion soon followed, as we did not know what to think. Only that the information presented and TheWayMaker's health problems all made sense.

After my grief had passed, I felt that some part of me could not believe this. So I further examined what was given. I looked up the Seattle Obituary and searched for 'Phil' Waymaker's name, strange, to my amazement I could not find any article about TheWayMaker's death. Furious, I told made_by what I had found whereas he later made a second post to say that our friend was not dead. However, knowing of TheWayMaker's health issues we've reason to believe that is why he has been off for so long. I have also disregarded my trust too and all information coming from the person who told me of our friend's death. Please, forgive me. I offer my sincerest apologies to all of you who have read this thread and ask that each and everyone of you pray for TheWayMaker, so that he may return safely to MassiveCraft to lead his fellow players.

Sincere Apologies,
Shambang16
 
I was actually very upset (ok pissed off) when I found out this was all fake. I believe you guys are doing the right thing by clearing the air with this post. The Massivecraft community is very close and your update put light on this serious matter. I personally forgive you and I am sure everyone else does too.
 
Im just relieved that it was not true the misunderstanding is certainly outweighed by the positive fact that TheWaymaker is most likely alive
