In memory of Joel A.K.A. CONAN

To all WarZone players and Devs:

It saddens me to post this because I have never done this before, but Joel Vanwijnsberghe AKA conan has passed away.... May 8th .. even thou we all had our differences with him, he was a serious player and contributed many ideas to help this game be better and in many of the war game we all played in.. being a ex-RAS member he still made the game interesting.. our prayers to his family... god bless you Joel you will be missed..

to warzone devs, i would like if you all would please contribute a soldier in his memorry for all to always remember him buy when in battle he can always lead our forces and defend, if possible it would mean alot to all of us.. he was from belgiun.. i think a Belgiun soldier would be very nice in his memory.. thank you for reading this.. !~RAS~! ELITE SRT

yes a very good idea. he played alot of f/b games and spent alot of real money. some liked him, some did not, but he did contribute to us all palying in one way or another. RIP my friend.

Very Very sad news ,my thoughts and prays go out to his family .I new Joel from the early days of the World at War game and he was always a real character in every FB game he played and will be missed greatly

A very sad day indeed. He will be missed.

Sad news indeed, I will be the first to admit:
Joel and I did have our differences, I did respect him as a player. That much will not diminish.
Condolonces to his family and friends at this sad time.
A word to the devs, would it be possible to remove the Conan profile.
It seems unfair that people will be able to attack a player of his calibre and not be able to defend himself, I mean in respect of the new players who never knew him. Older players I would hope refrain from attacking his profile.
RIP CONAN

Rest In Peace buddy
You will be missed

Hello everyone,
We are saddened to hear about this. Joel was indeed one of Warzone's most active and knowledgeable fighters. While it is true that he and other players had their differences, there is no denying about the impact Joel had on Warzone, a fact exemplified by his continuous in-game and forum activity. We wish to send our kindest thoughts to his family and friends.

Regarding a way of honoring his memory, we are considering introducing a token unit or something similar and we will have something to announce about this soon.

Thank you and, once again, we wish all the best to his family and friends.

thank you Alex for getting back to us... it would be great to have something in his memory.. :)

R.I.P buddy!!! :(

UPDATE:

In honor of Joel's memory and his contribution to Warzone, we have introduced the Belgian Para Commando Barbarian. The unit is free for everyone and can only be obtained by using this link: http://bit.ly/10EjNmM (if you encounter any problems with it, please use this one: http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http...mM&h=NAQE7Uvh5 )

It is a powerful unit, in line with our more important ones. Please share the link with your fellow players.
We want to thank Anthony Brito for his assistance with preparing the unit.

Regarding Joel's in-game profile, everyone will still be able to view it, but initiating attacks is no longer possible (thanks to James Henderson for the starting idea).

Again, we send our kindest thoughts to Joel's family and friends and wish them all the best.

thank you Alex

Alex,
A most honourable suggestion from RAS SRT for the suggestion of a memorial item for Joel. So impressed to see you have taken the idea and implemented it.
Also I agree with James that it would be disrespectful to allow his profile to be attacked with no chance of recourse for him. Nice to see this suggestion was taken on-board as well.
I have already expressed my condolences to his family and friends and it was sad to hear the news of his untimely leaving.
A big thanks to you Alex and and the developers and RAS SRT and James Henderson for voicing the opinions of many players in the game.
Rest in peace Joel
Gordon

I just found out about this and wish to pass along my condolences. Joel made the game fun as he liked competition and was an avid and vocal fan of the game. My thanks to the people who also started this thread in his honor and memory and to the dev's for listening.

Although we have disagreements in the past, I still pay my last respect to you as a fierce and vocal WZ and a former RAS player and hopefully my sincerest condolences to your loved ones will make your journey back to your maker an easy ride.
