RIP Old Mate (Jack) K2 and 106
It is with a solemn heart that I write that a legend and original beta player of K2, Old Mate, or Jack to those close to him, has passed away after a long battle with cancer. In a kingdom often riven with strife he was a friendly, funny and loyal character who was universally respected and loved by everyone.
This post is just a humble acknowledgment of the small part of his life that he shared with us, and the testament that he touched so many is that the whole kingdom is in mourning, a truly remarkable player, friend and mate.
We humbly ask if WB could do anything to memorlise our friend in the game. Some suggestions are giving him a perma-shield and a unique title. I am not sure what you can do, but any effort would be appreciate .
He was here right from the beginning, he deserve to be here at the end.

Jack aka Old Mate will be always in our hearts. <3 we want the best for him both irl and game life. i hope the devs can understand our reasons. he was a truly loved player in our previous kingdom K2 and current kingdom 106, and still the most loved person and someone we all care for :) -
Old Mate is nothing but a great lad. Always caring to the needs of others and was always bright and positive. Despite being in a war game, he had been so selfless and had been friends to people of both allied and opposing clans.
As much as possible, we would like Jack to be alive in game at least. Hence, we are asking the developers to give him a permanent shield and to never erase him from the map despite inactivity.
We would also like to have him hold King's Grave if possible. The whole kingdom mourns for losing one good friend... may we at least have an in game funeral for him as not everyone can attend his funeral. If you would see Kingdom 106, and check his keep, it is proof enough how much Old Mate meant to the whole Kingdom.
We hope you'd get to hear our plea. -
RIP fellow Hodorian <3 you have left a gaping hole in our heart that will never be filled...
DEVS please do something! He has United our kingdom as one, everyone from everyclan has black banners, we have all surrounded him at his location and have all agreed to a week of kingdom peace in respect for him!
It would be amazing if something permanent can be done to honour him as a great player and an amazing human being to all! -
Thank you King61. Everyone of Kingdom106 would appreciate something we can remember Old Mate by.

Thank you Jack. Thank you for the hours of conversation. Thank you for being a true gentleman who reached out to me through a game from the other side of the country. Thank you for all the snapchat karaoke. Thank you for being my friend. Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on, my brother in pain, my strength for all those times I had none. Thank you for simply being amazing you.
Kingdom 2 for life buddy. We all love and miss you so much. Rest in peace Old Mate 💖 -
We at WB Games Turbine are deeply saddened to hear of Old Mate's passing. We are thinking of his family and friends during this time. Unfortunately, we do not have the ability to erect in-game memorials, but we were all moved by K106 actions.
I do have to ask that people not to share the gofundme link here, as we cannot support 3rd party funding sites. But please continue sharing it amongst yourselves where it is convenient.
Thank you all for sharing your sentiments. Please continue to do so for as long as you wish.
I've pinned this post for a week in order to make it more visible.
"And now his watch has ended."
