Byron ‘Reckful’ Bernstein
Byron ‘Reckful’ Bernstein is a twitch.tv streamer and former professional esports player. He began playing MMOs in 1999 as a 10 year old. Asheron’s Call by Turbine was the first world he felt completely immersed in… he had trouble enjoying regular life. He then tried Anarchy Online, Dark Age of Camelot, and many others, eventually becoming the highest rated player in World of Warcraft around age 20. Through an excited tweet, he brought together the twitch community to work on a project that would fill the void left by these online worlds. This is the result — Everland.

Suicide
Byron commited suicide on 02.07.2020.

Following his suicide a response from the Everland Dev Team was posted on the official Discord: "We appreciate all the love and support right now, but now is not the time for us to discuss Everland. We need time to process everything before we can make a stable decision on what will come next. Right now, we are grieving, giving our condolences, and everyone is doing so differently, on their own terms. It will take us time to get our heads together again, but right now, we just all need to be here for each other as a community.

'''If you, or a loved one needs help, please get it, or reach out to that person. You are not alone. There are people out there willing to listen and help. You are loved. We are here for you.'''

'We will not tolerate any disrespect at this time. You will be immediately removed from the Discord if you are here to provoke. Now is not the time nor place., nor will it ever be.'"
