Event:Obituaries February 24
February 24, 2026 saw 7 player deaths on Xandaris — a sharp drop from the previous day's record-setting 17, but no less brutal for the individuals involved. Zombies replaced Skeletons as the dominant killer, responsible for four of the seven deaths. Three newcomers died within minutes of their first login, with GAP11 setting a grim new record: just 33 seconds from login to permanent deathban.
The day's only PvP-free obituary page in recent memory — no murders, just the unforgiving world doing what it does best.

Notable Deaths
_Thorrr's Nether Expedition (4:18 AM)
_Thorrr logged in after midnight and ventured into the Nether alone — no other players were online. After over an hour of solo exploration, an Enderman ended the run. samboyd posted "rip thorrr" from Discord hours later. _Thorrr had been active the previous evening, earning [Subspace Bubble] and marveling at "8 zombies on horses with spears in full gold." No pardon was issued.
The Morning Double (9:14 – 9:17 AM)
Two new players died within three minutes of each other. LordBuffeltje was blown up by a Creeper on the surface after a 34-minute session — they had earned six advancements across two sessions and were just beginning to establish themselves. Renje07, a chatty newcomer who had asked about server resets and suggested donation ranks, was overwhelmed by a horde of Zombies deep underground at Y:13 after 38 minutes.
samboyd had posted "glad you're still alive renje" from Discord an hour before the death — an optimism that aged poorly.
lionclad_'s Void Drop (11:13 AM)
lionclad_, a server admin, was helping rosalie_probally settle into a base when a teleport went wrong. They fell from a high place and landed at Y:-1 — below the bedrock layer — dying instantly. As an admin, lionclad_ self-revived within seconds using operator commands.
Alysa captured the moment on video, posting from Discord: "he just poofed!" samboyd's reaction: "f" followed by "lionclad_...."
Eleihar — Five Minutes Flat (11:57 AM)
Eleihar joined and immediately asked "is this real hc?" vphlIo confirmed: "yea." Within a minute, Eleihar was at half a heart from Skeleton fire: "holy fuck... im at half a heart... why do skeletons do 5 hearts." vphlIo offered help — "I got you" — and Eleihar earned [Stone Age] and [Monster Hunter], but it wasn't enough. A Zombie wielding an Iron Sword cut them down five minutes and fourteen seconds after joining.
vphlIo's immediate response: "Well it dont matter now."
GAP11 — 33 Seconds (3:12 PM)
GAP11 logged in. vphlIo said "Welcome back." Thirty-three seconds later, GAP11 was dead — slain by a Zombie that was waiting at their login location. GAP11 frantically tried to rejoin five times, each attempt blocked by the deathban screen.
vphlIo offered a one-word farewell: "Goodbye."
samboyd pardoned GAP11 approximately five hours later.
Graygamer64 — One Kill, Then Death (8:05 PM)
Graygamer64 spawned in, received welcomes from samboyd and vphlIo, and managed to earn [Monster Hunter] by killing a mob. One second later, a Skeleton shot them dead. Total survival time: under two minutes.
samboyd's reaction — "lol... f... i shouldve slept" — hinted that a night skip could have prevented the death entirely.
