Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning News - Player Fighting Breast Cancer Supported by Community

Posted by Michael Bitton on May 11, 2010  | 27 comments in our forums

On Warhammer Online's Badlands server players on both sides of the fight have put down their swords momentarily, changed their last names to PinkforTink, and dyed their armor pink in support of "Tinkerhell" one of the server's natives who is fighting breast cancer.

A short video of the event as well as a gallery are also available.

You can find out more information about the event as well as Tink's fight against breast cancer over at the Creekmore World blog.

It's always awesome to see the gaming community come out in support of one of their own (especially when it's on your home server, go Badlands!), and we here at MMORPG.com would like to wish Tinkerhell well.

[Thanks David Creekmore for the tip!]

Empireheals... Tinkwithpink *facepalm*.

Why did the Warrior Priest have to look like a moron?

Anyways, this is a nice thing to do. I hope Tinkerhell (clever name, too) makes it.

 It's called support.  It helps people remain strong throughout their battle with whatever they are contending with.  Knowing that people are thinking about you and hoping you get better can help just as much as medicine sometimes.  The will of the person fighting the disease can help fight it off better than you would think.

This is one of those articles that is truly special. Because it's about a real person with a real crisis. It's not about good games vs. bad games, hardcore vs. casual, or sandbox vs. themepark. And it's about something more profound than the latest level you just achieved, or the  uber gear you just looted off a mob.

It's about flesh and blood and reality. It's about the realization that all of us will meet our end, but while we are here we will  fight for every breath of life we can. It's about our ability to put  our petty differences aside and come together as one. It's about realizing that something beyond our desire for instant gratification is actually more important.

This article touched my heart more than any article I have ever read on this site. Partly because my aunt passed away from cancer last year, July 31. She originally had breast cancer which surgery was performed on. The surgery was at first successful, but than slowly the cancer spread through her body over 5 year, until her body could take no more.

The point I'm trying to make when talking of my aunt is that the doctors eventually came to the decision that her cancer  was  terminal. Even with this 'label' she alway maintained  the perspective that she was LIVING with cancer, not DIEING from cancer.

I'm telling you right now, Tinkerhell, to look at life with that same perspective and attitude. Don't you EVER stop the fight. Do everything you can to embrace all of the good in your life. Blanket yourself with the encouragement of your family, your friends, your spirituality, your online community, and everything else that is so dear to you

 I promise you, if you look for positive ways to LIVE, than you will find them.

Best of luck to you, and if you do read MMORPG.com and read this post, please drop me a message. I would be honored to be part of your support. 

Don't hesitate for a minute girl. And remember, no matter how much life may seem unfair, don't you ever, ever, stop LIVING. .

As a former badlands player who has since deactivated, I know Tinkerhell is a great player and a very active member of the community. Best of luck to Tink and seeing community like this almost makes me want to reactivate.

I was not there in that SS but I did participate in the events and changed my last named and dyed my armor, It is nice to see that even though there is so much anger towards each other in game we are still human and can put our differences aside to support someone. I am an active player on badlands and although I do not know Tink I have a heart and no decent human being deserves to go through something like that and I hope that even though I didnt donate money or anything that tinker knows that I do care and I hope she can beat this illness. I thank everyone else who atleast changed there last names and dyed there armor atleast to show that you care.

 Actually, they changed the game to allow you to have characters on both realms on same server now... learning to read helps a lot.

No they didn't you retard they're thinking about doing it on the next patch but it's still unclear the only way you can have order and destro toons on the same server is if you pay for both accounts and till then it's still counts as cross realming and still illegal.
