You know what's really depressing. This video. lol, I remember watching a tutorial on dragon platelegs when I was like 17 like I couldn't imagine being in my 40s playing this game and the guy who wrote it was like nearing 50.. And here I am 36. lol, wow. and that was right around dungeoneerings peak where it was a totally social busy at the time skill/minigame or whatever but everyone involved was droned zombie depressed about leveling it. lol there were always huge hickups like 1 guy didnt know how to unlock the room and we would all just like sit crashed like omg get it over with lol

This did the opposite of making me feel down. Thank you for memorializing her and sharing her story

They say that you die twice, first physically, and then the last time your name is spoken... Well you just helped Marlaine live a whole lot longer.

I think it's the opposite of sad. They did what so many people dreamed of. They found love on the opposite ends of the world and were able to actually meet and be together in real life. That alone is amazing. Then they had happiness living together through their adventures of RuneScape. The story doesn't have the happiest of endings. But they loved together and died together, a feat that so many couples struggle with today. I think it is an amazing story of dedication and commitment.

"Any man's death diminishes me, for I am involved in mankind," Thank you for taking the time to tell her story. Godspeed, Marlene.

The person that posted the 3 runescape players that passed just passed away early October this year. RIP Vexxed. Brought tears to my eyes when the video made about Marlaine was made by Vexxed.

she was a huge inspiration to me when i was in high school. i regularly read her blog. i still think of her often when i get in my runescape moods and play or watch videos. super pleased to see people still remember. makes me nostalgic. RIP Marlaine.

damn i didnt expect to cry from a runescape story today. what a wonderful life she got to live.

This is a really adorable story rare to find stories that have not been talked about a ton! I really love that her an prime stayed together through it all, just imagine how different life would have been if they had not logged on wanting to cut some logs, or her wanting to use some logs its wild makes you really think about how tiny things can have huge knock on effects. Im happy you talked about this its was very sweet.

Typing out “smiling” is so sweet and sincere. Rest in peace Marlaine

Sometimes we tend to forget about the humans behind these pixelated characters. Marlaine was one of them, she loved the game like we do, she found love through it, and for it. That should be celebrated. Thank you for sharing her story.

I've lost 3 childhood friends who I grew up with playing this game. I was the last of my friends group who continued to play. I've decided recently it's time to let go. I've searched for the nostalgia I was looking for and found it. This game still has a special place in my heart like all of yours. This story is a beautiful one. I only wish I had the will to write mine, but my pen is out of ink, just as my heart is out of love for this game now. They say: "All good things must come to an end, and every story has the same ending." Good luck out there. God speed. I hope you find what you were looking for like I did. Rip 12 0 13 1 N, newblood, 666 arrows. I'll see you again one day.

@GsQDoom Thank you for your kind words. I know that life is short, and we shouldn't take it for granted. I've faced many challenges myself: from cars crushing me to many emergency room beds over the years. I always asked God why me? I have a family now and wish my friends could be here to meet them. I've held on to their memories through this game all of these years. I know now that I don't have to play a game to hold on to that memory because they're always going to be with me. I hope we all find happiness and purpose. Never forget those who brought meaning to your life just as Marlaine brought meaning to Primes. Every story has the same ending, but it's up to us who we want to share it with. One day, I'll write mine when it's almost over. Take care ❤️

@@SR-fw3zw Thank you for opening up, I think that you should continue to do so even before, when it's almost over. People tend to let it slip the mind that we are all in this together, the experience of life. Although it's easy to feel each unique experience as exactly that per individual, there's a good bit of revelation that comes from learning of the experience of others. It tends to help one or many not focus too much of the raindrops on the windshield, but rather of where one is going and that all roads lead to one. Peace and love, friend.

Just a note on the work authorization thing, but it's often misunderstood how messed up that system is. You get denied for no reason, there's years long delays, and sometimes worse. For some categories it's literally an annual lottery.

This was a very nice piece of history of both RS and of these people. Thank you for bringing it to the attention of a greater number of people. Smiling

Worse, Prime was only 35 when he died if the date on that obituary is accurate. Taken way too soon.

I think this is a lovely memorial for Marlaine and Prime. Thank you for sharing their story.

Thank you for publishing her story even tho it brought me to tears, I learned something new and realize how many amazing people there are that you never hear of. This was very enjoyable to watch and the fact that you did your research with proof is top notch. Definatly got me as a new sub.

This was a really sweet video. Thanks for making this. It was really touching to hear about Marlaine and Prime's life paths intertwining this way. Runescape has brought so many people together. It really speaks to the core of what a social experience this game is.

It's nice of you to tell their story.

What an incredible and heartwarming journey Marlene had! Her story is a testament to the unexpected ways life can lead us to extraordinary adventures and connections. Marlene's dedication to RuneScape, her passion for blogging, and her kindness in helping others truly left a positive mark on the gaming community. It's heartening to see how she found love and companionship through the game, and her story reminds us of the beauty in the chance encounters that life brings our way. Marlene's legacy lives on in the hearts of those who knew her and in the memories she left behind. She may not have sought fame, but her story has touched our hearts, and for that, we are grateful. Thank you for sharing this beautiful tale, and may Marlene and Prime Falcon rest in peace, knowing that their love and adventures continue to inspire others.

Its nice someone can tell their story nowadays. smiling

Thank you for letting us know about Marlaine, it sounds like she lived a really interesting life and was talented at a lot of things. I was scared when the boyfriend was brought up that it'd end with him leaving but them spending the remainder of her life together was really heartwarming.

:( what a video, truly heartwarming, may they both rest in peace

I don't think it's sad. It really just speaks to the fleeting beauty of life. They were brought together by chance and, perhaps slightly unknowingly, through the early internet , they shared what would become their life with a community that we've all been apart of. Their lives speak to a nostalgic time which many of us still cherish. It also really sounds like they were dedicated, loving, and kind people who sacrificed and endured a lot to be together. While they're no longer here, it feels like each of their blog posts is a little wave, and the video a huge smile from lives lived well. It's intimate and lovely story.

What a memorial! Well done.. must have taken a lot of time to research all that information about her and her story. Thank you!

In honor of this legendary scaper, may we forever change that :) to saying smiling. Matter of fact, a couple of my longest lasting relationships started off of RS haha

Man, that anecdote about her writing “Smiling” to be more genuine is just so sweet. It was good of you to make this video and I’m glad that the game was able to bring more happiness into her life. It’s easy for things to spiral downhill after an injury like that but instead she was able to find a community to help foster. It hurts to think she was taken so soon, same with her husband whose last year was probably not a happy one. But we are still thinking of them, and that’s worth something. In some small way, I think you’ve really paid homage to all forgotten victims of common tragedy, and that’s worthy of respect. It’s one of the highest purposes of art… to be able to relate our stories to others, to be understood and remembered, empathized with and learned from all at once.

😭😭😭 This is such a beautiful story! I legit cried, thank you for taking the time to make a video about her and her journey, so cool.

Thanks for sharing this Colonello. Marlaine and Bradley Floyd's memory gets to live on much longer. The thing I love about hearing about old Runescape players is that there really are some beautiful stories there. I was really young when I started RS in 2008 and to think that I lived among these people at the time is an interesting feeling despite not knowing them then. I enjoy the stories of older RS because there wasn't such heavy reliance on official data like datamined guides or information -- stories were built on the individuals who played the game and more often than not, the pureness of those people oozed out to their legacies in the game. People like Marlaine and Bradley, Chessy, and TheOldNite. May the newer generations and the older ones who may have not known them get something good from hearing about their lives. When things in the world seem big and bad, its these little stories in time that may remind us of the beauty in its own space.

I looked up Primefalcon's obituary and it states that he died "accidentally" at the age of 35. I'd hate to think he may have committed suicide after the loss of his wife. The two seemed really in love.

Awww this is so sad, but you are right Marlaine was really lucky in a lot of ways too, and she must've been so happy everything worked out how they did for years. I've never heard of her, but nice people like her deserve to be in the public eye more. There''s so much negativity online and in the news.

I adore these more personal videos. So many stories have been made through how players met on rs, and its awesome to see zome of them shared. I sometimes like to go to random pages on the old rs clan wiki just to get a glimpse into the histories of different rs communities and player. Theres so many rich stories out there!

Thank you for telling the story. I know the loss of losing a scaper buddy to a disease like this. I still keep her account added to keep her close. While not everyone can be imortalized like this, its still good to remember our fallen comrades.

Always a good day when Colonello uploads, even if he's trying to make you cry
