CCP Wrangler has just made the kind of announcement that nobody ever wants. A new addition to CCP, Taera, has passed away. I’m sure everyone will join me when I wish my sincerest condolences to her family, friends, and coworkers.
It is with the deepest sorrow that we share with you the news about the passing of Associate Community Manager Laura “Taera” Genender. Although she was with us for only a short time, she connected with our community through her selfless grace and enthusiasm. Even before she joined our team, her professionalism at MMORPG.com elevated the state of our industry and made us all stronger because of it. Our thoughts and our hearts are with her family. Though you may not have ever had the pleasure of meeting her, we ask that you include them in your thoughts as well.

Mere words cannot describe my shock. I can only hope that we learn more about her tragic passing, simply so that we can somehow put this loss in perspective. I doubt it will do anything, but at times like these such sudden, tragic losses make us grasp at straws.
My condolences go out to her friends, both real and virtual, and family.
She was one of the best things to happen to the Eve boards in a long time.
