So is this a go?

100% for it, wife will murder me if I don't buy a mech or item dedicated to her.



Joking.

Not really.

She showed me the knife.

It is confirmed, and Bryan actually said on his Twitter that 100% of the revenues will go to charity. Of course.

I typically despise the Raven. I've never piloted one and they irritate me on the battlefield....

...however, I would buy this mech in the memory of little Sarah. ( I have a 2 year old daughter myself).

Please make this happen.

[Alekzander Smirnoff]

I hate to sound like a total douche but since her favorite mech was a Jenner, shouldn't the mech in the picture be a Jenner instead of a Raven? Hopefully they make the hero Jenner for her!

[Threat Doc]

Whichever 'Mech they make for little Sarah, I will do all in my power -we're still hurting, financially- to purchase one, even though I'm not playing MWO right now.

It has been awhile since I've written on these forums. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I have recently been dealing with cancer myself and just can't imagine what it must be like to be that young having to face and deal with it.

With all the love in and energy in my heart I wish you and your family well.

It's likely because they JUST released the Champion Jenner. If they make a Jenner for her, great. If they use a different chassis for her, though, I'm not going to give them crap for it. The thought is still there, and the money is still going to charity.

True but I'd consider the next hero mech to be a Jenner, since this month is a Jager. I find it great that they are doing this for charity as well, I've already bought an Ilya Muromets and a Heavy Metal and hadn't really planed to buy another hero mech untill the Atlas gets a hero variant which will probably be after launch but I will buy this mech for a worthy cause.

I think you're entitled to your opinion, so not going to fault you for that, and I can see one aspect which is do we really want to have Sarah's name tied to a mech. I for one would hate to see a mech named "Sarah" blown up in game. What about if a specific variant that is issued is simply tied to Cancer charity donations etc. Let the mech itself be something from Lore but let the funds go to a good cause.

To me that's not keeps a healthy separation from your fandom with your charitable efforts. My 2 cents.

That is actually a reasonable idea.

[ItchyTriggerFingers]

Condolences to Jon and his family.

Having a little ankle biter myself, it is very hard not getting emotional.

I'd be in if hero mech was created.

I also support this version of the idea.

I hate to sound unsympathetic, being that I have a child not much older than 5, but if we named a mech for every person, or more specifically a fellow player, we lost well before their time than MWO would be nothing but a game with mechs named Michael and Paul and Veronica and Amy etc.

I think a mech with a name from Lore, and 100% of the proceeds going to a specific cancer charity, would be more in tune with the spirit behind the venture.

Agreed. She will be remembered, but I cannot think of blowing up a robot with her name on it. That would cause the pain and grief
to be relived for a long time.

[C4N3]

I can't imagine the pain Sarah's family is going through. As a new Father I never want to feel that way. I know you can't replace the life that was lost, hopefully you were able to enjoy the short time you did have with Sarah and cherish all the memories you created with her. I'll be thinking of your family and hope something positive comes of this tragic loss.

RIP Sarah,

I can only express my condolences to the family of the departed. I am not very good at saying good bye, but i have lost fellow gamers and friends during my 23 years of living so I know how sad it is loosing loved ones.

farewell

I saw in the June 2013 update there looks like a "Sarahs' mech" will be available. I will definitely purchase that as a fellow Jenner master pilot I shall Streak in your name!

Departed comrade! Thou, redeemed from pain
Shall sleep the sleep that kings desire in vain:
Not thine the sense of loss
But lo, for us the void
That never shall be filled again.
Not thine but ours the grief.
All pain is fled from thee.
And we are weeping in thy stead;
Tears for the mourners who are left behind
Peace everlasting for the quiet dead.

[Threat Doc]

Instead of Sarah, since several people including myself would loathe the idea of blowing up a 'Mech named after her, why not "Got 'em good!" ?

EDIT: Y'know, I'm a fairly big guy, and it takes a lot to get to me. Just thinking about ever losing one of my sons is harsh enough to break me. It's funny what our little ones, all little ones, do to us, isn't it?

Edited by Kay Wolf, 04 June 2013 - 11:15 AM.

[-Seneschal-]

I agree with Kay Wolf's statement, I would be really sad to have to destroy that mech. I'm not saying don't commemorate her(!!!!), but maybe a mech named in her honor rather than her name like Kay had suggested? Your call, but it is a real matter to consider.

[Flashback37]

It simply said "Sarah's Mech".
It didn't state what name it would bear.
