More actions
In Memory of Yoko is a nav in Valkyrie Twins sector, at co-ordinates 76.35x, 14.44y (between the navpoints Nav Valkyrie 6 and Nav Valkyrie 4, almost due south of Hagoth's Weft).
It is a memorial to Yoko (TT) a player who died on 10th June 2010, of sudden heart failure, while playing the game. His other alts were Ishtar, Arahsi, and Asuka (PW). His family and friends called him Richard. He was just 29 years old.
Nearby, a little north, you can find the NPC ship Merchant Prince Yoko at <81.43, 16.38, 1.15>, a CL31 TT which will buff you with Shield Charging if you draw close to it. The location of this NPC is where his ship sat destroyed after he died. You can read the story that led to its creation posted on the forums by his brother Michael here:
