He Rerolled Horde
Little bundle of baby-cells Thor decided he couldn’t do Alliance and decided to find another home to call his own. We’re all a little sad today, Mrs BRK especially.
If you or someone your know find out today that you’re expecting, and you’re a Hordie, we’re gonna totally claim that you’re got Thor, and he wants to be an Orc Hunter. BM, of course. With a cat.
Do right by him, OK?
EDIT: We received so many emails of condolence, we just want to thank everybody. There’s no way we could respond personally to them all, and we didn’t want to send a form-letter.
From the entire BRK Family, thank you for your prayers and kindness.

My condolences and prayers are with you and your family.
Good hunting Thor!
Hey Brk, sorry to hear the news. We had our own re-roll a few months ago and though no-one can know how you feel I know how tough it was for me and Mrs Percinho. All the best for the two of you for the next few weeks and onwards.
I am so sorry for your loss.
OM AMI DEWA HRI
Please tell Mrs BRk what I’s very sorry.
It takes a lot of strength to turn something like that into a funny.
I have three of my own…never had to go through what you must be feeling. So sorry.
/cry
He’s in good hands.
Respects,

I had to read that 2x before that sunk in…
I’m so sorry, BRK.
And this is just another reminder that life is still in Beta and that the Devs are still figuring everything out. Take care of yourselves and I wish you both the best with this.
My deepest condolances to you and Mrs. BRK. You both will be in my thoughts. Like armond said, “it takes a lot of strenght to turn something like this in to a funny” And I totaly agree with him. Your dealing with it much better than I ever could!

Sorry to for your loss. We had a couple of re-rolls before our newbies got here.
We’ll be praying for you and Mrs. BRK.
does anybody not understand whqt the fafack is going on besides me? or am i really that drunk???
I’m sorry to hear that. I myself have gone thru the same thing when I was 16. Even then I was heartbroken. Stay strong. My prayers are with you guys.
Aw man.
So sorry to hear this =\
My condolences to you and Mrs BRK.
I’m so sorry to hear this. Big hugs to you both.
I’m so sorry man =(

My thoughts are with you.
I really don’t know what else I can say.
My prayers are with you and your family.
Deeply sorry to hear it sire. I know the pain. Twice. It makes me love our little lvl’s 5 and 3 that much more. /appreciatelife
Comforting hugs to you both.
I am sorry for your loss.
I’m sorry to hear about your loss. My prayers are with both you and Mrs. BRK, as well as your son. God bless you in this time of sorrow.

You’re in all of our thoughts.
BRK:
I echo the thoughts of other parents who haven’t had this happen, but who ache anytime they hear about it happening to someone else – my prayers are with you and Mrs. BRK, along with the hope that you’ll shortly roll another gnome
I’m just one of the thousands of nameless that read your site for my daily dose of sarcasm, humor, and hunter know-how — I don’t play on your server, my hunter’s been on a back burner for months, and I’m no where near you geographically (as far as i can tell)
one drop in a vast sea of humanity.
Despite all that, you and Mrs. BRK are important to me, and to thousands of other people you will never meet, or probably even hear of, beyond a stat graph showing internet website hits. I’m sure I speak for the nameless multitude when I say, We’re sorry for your loss, we’re thinking of all three of you, and hoping for healing. this will probably come across as overly touchy-feely, but try to remember, both of you, that you are loved, respected, and cared for, valued, by a multitude of people, all over, you aren’t even aware of. find strength, and hold on to it.
all our prayers
the faceless
Sorry Mrs. BRK and BRK
/pray
From the highest high, to the lowest low.
I was there cheering when you found out, now I’m here bowing my head for your pain.
WAY TO GO THOR!
So sad to hear … loss of a child, even a fresh rolled one, is a hard thing to bear. Lets hope you reroll soon, perhaps Freya to look after Thor.
I am so sorry.
/hug BRK and Mrs BRK

Wow..what bad news to see first thing.
I am truly sorry for your loss and I know the pain that you and Mrs. BRK feel at this time. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.
I’m really sorry to hear that Mr and Mrs BRK. I hope the next little alliance gets to lvl 120.
From one family to another, we are so sorry for your loss. We wish you and your wife strength for the present and joy for the future.
Usually kids wait until their teenage years to rebel against their parents’ preferences.
Sorry to hear about your loss and good luck with the next ones.
I echo what others have said, and wish you and the Mrs. only happiness to come.
Good hunting to Thor, wherever you may roam.
It took me awhile to figure out what this was about, but now that my slow Orc mind has clicked…
/condolences to both of you.
If it helps, the wife and I had four “re-rolls” of our own over the last two years. Each hurt more than the last. After the fourth, the doctors said that she probably wouldn’t be able to have kids. Mrs. Bruu’s now seven months pregnant, and while we’ve had some scares, we’re almost out of the woods.
It’ll happen. Sometimes it just takes time.
I’m sorry to hear of your loss. I had a re-roll in my past as well, it hurts, I know. Best wishes to you and your wife.
I am very sorry to hear this. You and Mrs. BRK are in my thoughts.
It’s a tough thing to go through, I know. We went through that loss a few years ago. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Am I the only one who doesnt know what BRK is talking about?
Read the comment of Bruu slightly up the list and you should know.
My twin sis and I came to our parents’ server right after a re-roll. Maybe you’ll have two little red kitties next time around!
Thinking of you and Mrs. BRK,
/hug
Sorry to hear that BRK. Hope all is well.
/pat /hug /condolences give MRS BRk a huge for me.
He is in good hands now, I hope you and Mrs. BRK can find some peace in that. My heart and prayers go out to the both of you.
i’m so sorry
you and your family are in my prayers.
Sorry for your loss BRK. Hope everything works out well for you and Mrs. BRK.

Very sorry BRK. =( /hug
I feel sorry for you and Mrs BRK.
Take care
Condolences, BRK. Not really anything that can be said to help you and the Mrs. through this, but we are thinking of you.
So sorry to hear this BRK, this must be devastating.
For the young people, Mrs. BRK’s baby died in the womb.
BRK,
I was so sorry to read the news. My heart goes out to you and Mrs. BRK.
That you have chosen to share not just your WOW insight, but the joys and pains of your life, with the wider community of us, just highlights how great-hearted and true you are. And by reflection we know Mrs. BRK is another special soul.
The next little Ally hunter will be a very lucky one.

Hey, my condolences.
/BighugfortheBRKfamily
BRK and Mrs. BRK I am very sorry for your loss.
This may be corny, and no disrespect is intended:
I have been leveling another hunter with a newly WoW adicted warrior friend of mine. I have not named any of my pets, and have ‘Cat’ at my side as I type. I will name all of my pets/best friends ‘Thor’ on this toon from here on in honor of your little hunter. He will be well fed, mended, and patted regularly. I’ll keep him comfortable for you.
Oh, oh no.
I’m so sorry!
I’ve had many friends who’ve re-rolled…it seems to be getting more common these days.
Wish they could figure out why.
Hang in there, my dears, you’ll get through this. : epic hugs :
I’m sorry for your loss. I’ve been through this and I know it’s tough. We lost our third child after 4 months of pregnancy. Happy for us we kept trying and now have 4 healthy precocious children.
BRK, Sorry to hear your bad news, but don’t give up the fight, and here’s a huzzah to the tryin’, huzzah!
much love and respect to you and your wife!
Nothing I can say can alleviate what you’re going through, and likely anything I’d say has already been said, but do know that there are a lot of us out there who have you and your wife in our prayers, BRK.
The loss of a life is tragic, but the loss of a live unrevealed is, if possible, more so.
I am certain that the entire Hunter blogger community, if not the greater WoW blogger community at large, is grieving with you.
I’m very sorry for your loss. You have my condolences and the prayers of the BRK community.
Sir,
Please accept my deepest condolences.
Having never experienced such a loss, I can only imagine.

Coulda sworn I saw Thor swimming up the Nagrand midair waterfall. Then jumping on a coruscating mount and winging
far beyond any sky……

I’m so sorry to hear this. I really feel for you, as do all of the people posting here. No platitudes, just sorrow.
I echo the comment from Widdershin – I’m a faceless reader who visits your site to learn and laugh. Today was different. You and Mrs BRK have my deepest condolences.
We’ve had the re-roll before but no alliance yet. I share your sadness.
Serious bummer. My condolences to you both.
I’m very sorry for you and your wife.
I know its very easy to say for one whom is not in your situation but keep your heads up.
Deepest condolences
Sorry to hear that BRK.
Our first pregnancy was a miscarriage and then we had two ectopic (tubal) pregnancies.
You never realize how common miscarriages are until you have one and talk to the doctors about it.
Once you’ve both finished your grieving, you’ll just have to go about the ‘awful’ task of making another one…
You have my condolences and the prayers there Big Guy, also pass this along to Mrs. BRK, I know how you feel.
My condolences on your loss.
Sorry BRK and Mrs BRK. I hope you find comfort in this time of sadness.
My condolences, you and Mrs. BRK are in my thoughts.
I’m sure Thor is at peace in Valhalla.
Sorry about your loss, Damh. We’ve gone through three of them ourselves, and it’s no easy task. You’re in our prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time. Hugs to you and Mrs. BRK.
My condolences. We have all of our little orcletts and trolls, but I am sure Thor will be well cared after. Mok Ra!
Total bummer. My condolences to the BRK family.
I’m sorry BRK, that’s gotta be pretty tough. Give everyone a /hug for me.
Sorry to hear about your loss
So sad
/cry
Mrs. BRK will need epic hugs, give her loads, k?
I’ll tell you what, I had a little up and coming hordie that re-rolled on me two weeks ago before I even know he/she was there. You’re in my prayers and if fate steps in perhaps I’ll end up with Thor and you’ll be blessed with my little one.
Take care of yourselves, it’s very hard.
I think Widdershins said it best this morning…
We are all words and names with stats and questions most of the time but when it comes to something like this just know that there are real sad faces behind these screens at the news of this…
May you and Mrs BRK find the strength to keep your heads and spirits high.
I know this hunter has your back…
Even the crazy ones on pocket pallys in AV sometimes.

Deepest condolences on your loss to you both BRK
I dont think I could find words any better than the ones Whiddershins used so Ill just second his post and reaffirm my support for you guys.
At times this world is a topsy turvy place but be strong guys and all will aright itself.

That’s rough. I lost a little brother or sister the same way a while back.

I am so sorry. My prayers are with you
First I am sorry to hear of your loss.
Second and I am not sure I should say this. When I read the story about “We interrupt this blog to freak out!” I was shocked.
I have learned too many times the hard way. why it is couples hold off the happy announcement until after the 120 day mark.
I do appreciate the courage that it took for you to announce this loss.
My Best wishes are with the three of you.
Deadrabit.
Condolences, to both you and Mrs BRK.

I strongest sympathies towards you and your family BRK /pat
Sorry for the bad news BRK….
We had one /Re-Roll followed by four years worth of /No-Rolls.
From this Horde Rogue and Alliance Hunter you have my deepest symapthy.
Same thing just happened to some friends of mine.
You have my deepest sympathies in this difficult time.
Im sorry to hear about that, I hope that you both fare well through this. As someone who was also at Beale (A lot more recently) and is ex-airforce, I think I can say that you have the condolences of all of us that have been in at one time or another.
Safe journey to Thor wherever he goes.
Im very sad to hear about your loss. Ive been down this road myself and lost a son at around 20 weeks. Its a sad thing to lose a soul. They say though if at first you dont succeed….
have fun with the second half.
On a totally creepy note I just got off the phone with my brother in law, they JUST found out they are expecting today. Some come and some go, but we never forget them. Best wishes.

my condolences to you and your family BRK.
Having had two recent re-rolls ourselves, the best we can do is offer our heartfelt condolences.
While we don’t always understand the things that happen in our lives, there is one whom you can turn to during the difficult times.
I pray that he will comfort you and your family, and you can rest assured your little one is with him.
My condolences to you and the Mrs. on the loss.

I hope you guys are ok, and if you need anything on the Rexxar server, I’ll be glad to serve you an ale to cheer you up!

My sister and her husband experienced this with her first pregnancy. I know it was a difficult time for them and family. My mother also experienced one. It’s one of those common things that people usually don’t talk about until someone they know is dealing with it. It hurts and hurts are hard to talk about. I thank you for sharing your joy when you found out about the pregnancy and your loss with us now. It brings us back to the life outside of WoW. That life that is so precious.
My prayers are with you and Mrs. BRK.

BRK, over 140 comments and counting the wow community has huge hearts and unmeasurable kindness,I hope you and your family will get through this unfortunate event and a speedy recovery for Mrs.BRK ……… Its sad to say (i’m in the medical field) but what happened was for the better something went wrong and thats just the way the body works……. In Honor to you and your family i’m in the process of taming that Winterspring Tiger Rak’Shiri and when i do he will proudly be presented to WOW as THOR…. (poor Alliance)

I’m so sorry for your loss. You are both brave and strong to share it with us. It helps me deal with other losses. Thank you. Much love and hugs.
From an EU Horde hunter:
We would be glad to have Thor join our ranks.

Very sorry to read the unfortunate news, the BRK family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear
It’s never easy…but as always I am amazed at your sense of humor and good-spirited commentary.
My condolences…and like someone else said, good hunting wee Thor…
My thoughts are with you and your family in this rough time. I feel for you and hope all the best for you all in this time.
Been there and it sucks. Condolences to you both…
our hearts and prayers BRK and family, whole family reaches out to you on this one man. keep your chin up.
So sorry to hear of your loss, I had a miscarriage when I was about four months pregnant, I still think of him/her and have a mini-mourning on what would have been the birthdate…it’s been easier each year, been almost 18 years now…I shall meet her/him someday. My thoughts are with you and your wife, best wishes.
disregard my previous comment. I misread the post. I guess I just get overexcited when I hear some choosing the horde. In all seriousness I offer my condolences.
a follow-up thought from me: i think we would all understand if you didn’t post for awhile. while i deeply am loving your videos, i (for one) can understand if you don’t want to post them for awhile, or put energy into this site.
I’m sorry for your loss.
Oh, no. I’m so sorry.
No Advice, only condolences, so sorry to hear it BRK, give her a big hug from all of us!
My condolences go to you and your family. Two re-rolls myself and it’s never easy when they happen. Continue trying and it will work out eventually.
/Big Hug
I know where you’re at, brother, because I’ve been there myself. I wish you and the Mrs. the best, though all the wishes in the world aren’t going to help a whole lot right now. A wise man said “breathe in, breathe out, move on.” He was right and you’ve just got to trust that things like that happen for a good reason and that your own particular Big Man Upstairs is looking out for all of you. My thoughts are with you.

BRK,
As I cry over someone I don’t even personally know, I want you to know that we all have your back.
People say yeah we’re playing a game but behind all of us are people.
Our community is tremendously close even though few have ever personally met.
Mr and Mrs, we are praying for you. Much loving.
I admire your courage and deeply feel with you for your loss.
My best friend lost hers almost exactly one year ago. While that doesn’t bring him/her back, she is now 8 months pregnant and everythings is healthy as can be!

Go get ‘em!
Godspeed, folks.
I’m sorry… I didn’t quite catch on straight away. I edited my above post (last line only) with seconds to spare on the timer.
I’m sitting in this chair as someone who doesn’t even know you, or your family and i’m absolutely gutted. These videos are the best WoW-Based i’ve ever come across and I’ve introduced my friends to the site… so to see friendlies wounded in such a way is heart-breaking…
You probably won’t read all of these, but if you read this, and want to act… or maybe set up some kind of donations page to an organisation helping families suffering from child bereavement, maybe the BRK fan-base can help you out?
I take some comfort in the fact that your child is walking in heaven holding hands with God. In a much better place… with no ganking, no warlocks and definitely no rogues.
God Bless you both….
