  • Just finished the questline. The NPC in Shattrath seemed like another player at first until I realized they were the quest objective.

    Knew immediately it had to be some kind of memorial/tribute so I looked it up. Like a punch to the gut when I read the story behind it :'(

  • From all here at( The knights of Kalecgos) we send our respects

  • RIP from bladefist US

  • Its sad how you look at the old WoW and see how close people were then you look at it now......all it is now is assholes who couldent care less about someone dying from there guild...I Wish WoW Was Like This Again.....

  • hi from saurfang m8 r.i.p remember your quest but only just found out your story.

  • Just turned in alicia's quest in Shatt, standing in front of Caylee now. The poem is beautiful and the story makes me sad. Im glad his guild and blizz did this, nice to know he was in the presence of good friends in his last days. I will make sure to /hug his character everytime I come to shatt. Rest in peace Dak.

  • I read this story and bursted into tears... It's tragic. I wish I could have known him; he sounded like the most wonderful person. I created an image, for his memory-- Of his hunter Caylee, floating as an angel above the city of Shattrath in-game. I know it's not much, in fact almost nothing... I just hope it can express my deep gratitude and sorrow for this fine person. R.I.P. Dak. (And the link isn't showing up... Damn it... I'll post it on the guild site... >.< Now I'm crying... Great.)

  • R.I.P. Dak. I'm playing on private server, but still honour your memory...

  • RIP Dak. I just finished the quest a few hours ago. Like most people, I just came across it but it was a very moving quest and even more so knowing the story behind it. I commend your guild and blizz for such a wonderful tribute. God Bless you all.

  • I am so sad for you loss of such a good friend. Having read the forum entries on your website I understand that he was a well respected and much loved individual. Losing someone at such a young age is always hard but Daks memory will live on within all your hearts and dreams. He is never truly gone as long as you can just shut your eyes and think of him. I find it touching that his toon is now in Shattrah for all to see and remember him. Live on and soar high Dak.

    Wowwiki:

    Caylee Dak is a level 70 elite quest ender located in the Aldor Rise in Shattrath City. She was named after a 28 year old player named Dak Krause who died of leukemia on August 22, 2007. He was born March 10, 1979.

    The NPC model itself is an exact replica of "Caylee", Mr. Krause's character, bearing the same model and gear, as well as the same pet, Dusky, by his side.

    She ends the quest [70] Alicia's Poem.

  • Rest in Peace Caylee!

    Das ist wirklich traurig, tut mir sehr leid für alle Betroffenen und Angehörigen!

  • i never cared about people dying. i mean i didnt even know him or others. then i played this game and read this story about him and what happened to him and stuff. this really made me think about my life and that it can be over in just a second. its just kinda weird that i learned this by playing a videogame. anyways. i cant say more than all the other players that left comments for you. rest in peace. im sorry for your lost.. /salute /goodbye..

  • i never been religious or any thing but all i know that if she/he was a good person as it is shown here then there is no doupt that she will indeed rest in peace, what u said was right and any life can end up in a sec but if u live happly and carefull and aware of the consiquences of being a free man youl end up the same as her/him resting in peace

  • I never knew Caylee, in real life or in game. I only recently learned about him when I thottbotted his toon. It is true that I probably have no right to say anything here about him, but I feel like I should. From the stories I've heard, you were a great person. From the memories you left, you were a great influence. Though you have left this world, you have not left our hearts. You are the eagle in the mountain, you will never leave, no matter what happens. I can only sit here crying now.

  • Whenever I pass Caylee in Shatt, I always stop before her and kneel and pray before giving her a salute and wandering on. I never met Dak, but I still feel I owe his character that little bit I can give.

  • Caylee was made into a quest giver NPC for the alliance. You can pick the quest up at I think 58 or 60.
