GoyaMande-ciel FaebBlizzard and Community ReferencesA Guide to In-Game MemorialsEdit: Elisande and Gul'dan have been fixed!Goyadescribed on tumblrShe was a 10 year old corgi/golden retriever mix that I brought with me from Spain. I know a lot of people have their special pets and their “heart animals”; and she was mine. Truly, she was my heart, and my life. We were inseparable. To this day I can’t talk about her without getting emotional, and miss her with every bit of my still broken heart.

Goya rapidly developed a cancerous growth (mast cell tumor) on her right side that we had scheduled surgery to remove. She had gone through a previous surgical procedure to remove two burst cysts and came from that healthy and fine - she was eating and playing that very night! So I figured that even at her age she was strong enough to go through one last surgery.

I began to take pictures of her to make a chronicle of her weeks before surgery, in order to keep spirits up and invite people to meet her a little better. She has a tag all of her own that is still difficult for me to visit.
Goya went into shock after surgery. The mast cells had begun to degranulate. We took her to the ER, but she didn’t make it. I lost a very big piece of my heart that night.

Seeing Goya in-game is a way for me to have a bit of her around that I can visit and interact with, and can’t thank the people that made it happen enough because it may have been such a small thing but for me it means what Goya was to me - the world.Mande-ciel FaebFaebelinaWarcraftOverwatch Fairiesart and storiesFaebelina created

Commentaire de KaradrosThey're good dogs, Bront.Commentaire de moofox6Touching, and kind. These tributes help me to remember that people are behind the scenes, humans who love and feel. It is a great reminder at times when frustration is high.Commentaire de PooterbearThey added the Cask N Anvil Tavern in Ironforge after the Player Run Tavern of the same name on Wyrmrest Accord.Commentaire de tastemyfurOff-topic: Any news on tomorrow's patch/updates/fixes and/or upcoming stuff? :)Commentaire de GordonBuchatI will keep an eye out for Goya the next time I'm there to give her a loving /pet.Commentaire de rebrauzer<3Commentaire de AKPlayerActually, I found Goya yesterday.

What a touching tribute. So sweet. <3

My ferret died from a heart complication and it was so awful and sad, I still feel a tightness in my chest two years down the road. She was so gentle and loving. RIP all beloved companions!Commentaire de RagnarozI loved Goya from the very first time I saw her. Now I know her story and I love her even more. :')Commentaire de ElyseonLosing a pet is always heartwrenching. Each loss a nail to the heart.Commentaire de alvraenHifa Luneflot is a dedication to @hifa_b on twitter, a Japanese raider that I translated an interview for in the old wowinsider here: https://www.engadget.com/2014/02/06/15-minutes-of-fame-japanese-players-build-their-own-community-i/ - check us out on #wowjp

Capitaine Ridgers is a nod to @englishguy on twitter. He works at Blizz. :)

Hess « le rylak » Brasse-Seigle for Mike Hess brewing.

Capitaine Ruysantos is for a Portuguese employee.Commentaire de kimmuryielI wonder if the person who asked for this got %^&* from players too for asking. I did when I asked for a tribute to my mom's cat who died at 22 in January. My next question is "how did she(?) get Blizzard to actually notice her(?) post?" I eventually stopped checking mine when the hate posts got too overwhelming. I don't do "safe spaces" but I don't need to hear I'm a horrible, naive person for making a request that I never expected to be approved in the first place. (no, really, I lost a lot of faith in the goodness of people who post on forums those times I checked it. And I didn't start with much. Never had good experiences with forums...crap, this turned into a rant -_-)Commentaire de solithaI wonder if the person who asked for this got %^&* from players too for asking.
