Dear Guild Wars 2 Team,
I want to sincerely thank you for making one of the best mmos out there. The three year mark is fast approaching and I look forward to seeing what you guys have in store for us. About a year and a half ago I brought my mother to the light side stealing her from the World of Warcraft empire. We have played mmos together since I was living in Texas at the time and it was the best way for us to communicate. We love everything about the game, and have a lot of fun running the world boss train. This past Fall we found out that my mother has cervical caner. The game has now become a great way to release stress of the doctor visits and the fear of the cancer spreading to other place. It means a lot to me to see my mom laugh at your April Fools joke, she was laughing so hard that she was crying.

So thank you guys for making such an awesome and my mom and I both look forward to the expansion!

Never surrender! Never back down!

Thank you Guild Wars 2 staff.

First of all I am really sorry about your mother… I cant imagine how this must feel for you… Normally I just read the forum, and dont make treats or answer on posts. Your story touched my heart.

Me and my wife also want to send you and your mother our best wishes. And if there is anything, anything at all we can help you both with in game, please do not hesitate to whisper me!

Best wishes from Mr & Mrs Fox!

What does the FOX say¿!

I am glad that you and your Mom found GW2. This game was for me too wonderful and helped keep my mind off of things when I was going through cancer treatment. No other game was able to do it. Believe me, I tried. It was only in Tyria that I could forget for a while what was going on in real life.

Thank you Guild Wars 2 staff.

Awesome story. I wish the best for you and your mom. Cancer is a hell of a thing to fight through and I can definitely relate with many of my family, including my dad struggling with it.

I have to chime in here and say I wish your mother a speedy recovery, too.

I also have to agree that I find GW2 to be one of the best MMOs I’ve ever played. Keep up the good work for all of us!

Feel free to ping me if you ever need a hand.

Reposting this sans the part that quoted someone mean:

OP, I’m so glad the game has given your mother an escape. I never quite got my parents to agree to MMO with me, closest ever was my mom sitting in on a college DnD session and howling like a coyote since her character was a coyote shaman … but my dad has leukemia and the treatments just stopped working. We find out next week if there’s another viable treatment. If not, he’ll be gone within two months. I wish I had this shared world to play in with him. He and mom are active, busy people, two decades of retirement haven’t slowed them down, so it’s not like he’d have time. Yet I really wish I could have shared it all.

All my best to your mom. I hope she beats it and vanquishes Tyrian foes with you for years to come.

Thank you Guild Wars 2 staff.

It’s heartbreaking to see just how many lives have been thrown off balance (or torn apart) by cancer. Love to everyone who has been or is going through it. My dad is, thankfully, in remission from his brain cancer. But we never know when or if it will come back. So, we try to live as much as we can every day because you just never know when things will change.

Thank you Guild Wars 2 staff.

Hi,
I’m not that great with words but here goes…

I’m Jaklinmar’s mother and i would like to take time to thank each and everyone of you for the words of encouragement and well wishes. I’m at a lose of words at how complete strangers are so kind and compassionate.

To all that are going through the same thing I understand the struggle, to those who are going through remission or have loved ones that are I truly hope that it stays that way.

i have sat here reading and re-reading the posts trying to put together words that show how i feel and all i can say is

NO RETREAT…NO SURRENDER!!

again ty all for the kind words

see you in Tyria!

Thank you Guild Wars 2 staff.
