Hello everyone, it’s been about 2 ½ years since CFWR closed, and I wish I could have made this post under better circumstances, but sadly, I have some unfortunate news. As of Sunday, April 26th, Christopher Arayata, known to us as Christopherz94, has passed away at the age of 21. Currently, we don’t know much about the circumstances, but it has come as a shock to all of us. As most of you know, Chris was part of the CFW community for almost 5 years, since the original server on Minecraft Beta 1.2. He was a fun, caring, and entertaining person who will be missed and remembered by all who had the pleasure of meeting him.
In his memory, we will be hosting a server with the last CFWR map on it for anyone from the community to come and contribute to a memorial for him. There will be a teleporter at the spawn that will take you to the area where the memorial is being built, and everyone is encouraged to build something in the immediate area around the memorial to honor him. There are no real limits to what you can build, as we want everyone to build something that has meaning to them and that will honor Chris’ memory. There are going to be a few ground rules, which will be enumerated below, but in general, just be respectful. During this time, people are encouraged to explore the old map and reminisce. Talk about any memories you may have of the old servers and of Chris. There will be a spot for everyone to write any memories they want to share in a book that will be compiled together and placed inside the memorial once it’s finished. After approximately a month, the server will be placed into Adventure Mode and hosted indefinitely so that anyone interested may visit the memorial or explore the map. Also, all maps currently available to us will be put up for download in the near future.
Chris was a large part of our community, even after the server closed. He was taken before his time, and we owe it to him to honor his memory. He was more than just a player on the server, or a name in the chat- He was a friend. He would have loved to see everyone on the server back together. So this is a time of remembrance and reunion. Enjoy the time and the memories we have.
I will post details concerning the rules and ip of the server below. Until then, there is a skype community chat for everyone to talk and reminisce in. If you would like to be added, please contact me on Skype, my username is Hikazaru37.
Rest in Peace, Chris.
