Thanks Sheffy 
I have lost most, if not all recordings and screenshots from 2005-10.
This was the only one I could find, which was right after his return to AO.
Oh and this one for anyone who remembers the legend of the manual.

I have fond memories of Stromm during the 02/03 period. I’m sure he was around the level 50ish mark when we first chatted, I remember that he was asking so many questions related to enforcers and pvp.
I remember some fun times rushing Omni Ent arena with him and other clanners.
We took part in a pvp 2v2 contest inside some building one time and I remember that I got alpha’d hard by patk9 and an MA called Ecbolic I think. I felt pretty bad for being so useless but I remember how well he held his own against the 2 of them, pretty sure he managed to kill one of them on his own.
I remember watching him rise up from an inquisitive lower level fixer with a fascination in pvp to being easily one of the best pvprs in the game. I left the game around 2003 and I was fairly horrible at mass pvp so didn’t have much involvement during his NW domination but I always remember hearing about him.
I came back to AO around 08/09 for a year or so, so I never got to play or speak with him beyond that small period in 02/03.
He was some years younger than me and it saddens me to hear of his passing, even if we didn’t know each other at all outside of a few chats in the game, I just remember he was a real good guy who was wise beyond his years.
RIP Stromm

I am greatly saddened by this news, Stromm was a great friend and for me the biggest legend of the game. I will cherish the memories from the good old days with Uprising back in 2005. I recently returned to the game and met some of the old org mates from those days and Stromm quickly became an topic of discussion. Rest in peace brother, catch you on the flip side.

How did I miss those sad news? 
I remember him well, as well as Synergy factor. He was difficult to forget.
RIP Stromm, you were a figure in AO.

Me and my son both played regularly with him. FooDaddy3 and NanoLight25, just returned to the game, and pulled my toon out of Synergy Factor. RIP Stromm, miss the old days of Sheffy and his foot obsession and good ole Superslag the engineer. Got both my accounts going again, sure is fun to run around blitz and search through the troves of bags I have.

Sucks to hear this and be so late to the post. Being one of the other PVPing Fixers in Synergy Factor at the time I knew Stromm was better at AO than me and I had to emulate what he was doing most of the time just to keep up. While I have been out of contact with most people that I played AO with, Ancarim Iron Legion, Synergy Factor all still feel a part of me 20 years later.

RIP Stromm.

Sad to hear about this RIP Stromm 
I hate that I had to make an account for this. I first saw this news, mourned with a mutual friend of Stromms and moved on but I find myself back here.
I was very close friends with Stromm in AO for a long time, it was almost a sickness to pvp as much as we both did so naturally we had a bond and talked almost every day. If there was a fight I knew I didn’t have to look far before I’d see him. It’s corny now but he was everything you’d want in a Clanner, always ready to fight no matter the odds. I hate that I don’t remember so much of it now as its been so long but I know enough.
You know what else I remember? I had to spot him CREDITS FOR AMMO. If you played AO you know how insane it is that you cant afford ammo. This guy pvp’d so damn much and didn’t pve at all he couldnt buy ammo!!! Thats how much his passion was for pvp.
But let me tell you no matter how much I tried I couldn’t poach him away from Synergy Factor. He loved those guys. If any of you are still around I hope you know that.
My chance had to wait until a whole other game came out. Our bond was great enough that even after the countless hours in AO, we joined up in the same guild in WoW and kept the party goin. He joined the guild I was co-creating alongside former Apocalypse members and brought some friends he made in call of duty as well. This guy loved the military let me tell you. At this point gaming evolved that we were able to chat on ventrilo more than AO ever really had a presence with via teamspeak. Let me tell you guys he kept the pvp going strong. If you were horde in WoW on our server and he was questing there, I’m sorry but you’d be visiting respawn. He’d pull our guild into it and be fighting in a stupid cave in Ungoro crater for hours just because.
Its been 20 years and I still know his laugh. His love for pvp. His love for his country. If anyone from his family ever somehow stumbles across this I hope you know those countless hours he spent online weren’t a waste of time. It wasn’t just playing a video game. He was making a lasting impact on people. I don’t hesitate to say I loved this guy.
RIP Stromm, love you, miss you.

R.I.P. Stromm
I remember him from back in the day, waiting around for the raids, mostly I remember the tank complaining that Stromm was stealing aggro all the time (in a jokey way), along with him zipping around the place. I was in Pantheon, NM Keeper (first one ever to get to 220) Zulander.
I will miss the players of that time, it was a real community the likes I haven’t seen since. And Stromm amongst others was a big part of making the community great.
