Long time member of the PlanetSide Universe Staff, and Founding Member of the Auraxis Global Network Mark "Marsman" Marston passed away early this morning at his sons side after his health took a turn for the worst. Marsman was one of the original members of the staff serving as our Co-Administrator for many years and as the voice of the Auraxis Global Network.
But most importantly he was a friend that served for many years through some of the hard times, and through some of the great times. He helped to co-host AGN "Community Night" now called Squad Beacon as PlanetSide 2 was starting to pick up steam. He also co-hosted Ask the Devs with Hamma during PlanetSide 1 and posted many original audio works. You can find him featured in many of the original videos here.
If you wish to pay your respects you may do so in this thread or this thread.

Re: In remembrance of Marsman I mentioned this on Twitter but I will be playing some old school AGN clips starting at around 7:45PM CDT tomorrow before Community Clash so be sure to tune in. Even stumbled across an early episode with Dave Georgeson aka SmokeJumper. |

Re: In remembrance of Marsman Wow....'ole Marsman. I can't think of Planetside, or PSU, or anything without Marsy. I had the honor and privileage to work with him during Planetside 1. He had created these fake news sounders for AGN. I was so blown away, he had written this entire script, added sound effects, it sounded like a news conference for CNN! I was completely floored, and wanted to meet the man who put the White in Barry White  As I got to know him, I saw a man with a deep passion for the community, an extremely talented leader, and a friend, with a heart of Gold. Marsman and I used to exchange ideas, and pass sounders back and forth. I created these little bumpers for their show hosted by Hamma and Marsman. I remember one of them said "Hamma and Marsman...even their names....sound like virgins." It was such a joy for me to be able to work with these guys, to meet them in Florida, truly some of my fondest memories. My heart goes out to Hamma and Jennyboo, to the Dragonwolves, to Manitou, to all of the wonderful members of the Planetside community. What I will remember from Marsman...besides his amazing pipes of course, was what he did for the community. What he did for people he never even met, what he did for me, and what he did for you. Rest in peace my friend, you will be dearly missed. Thank you for everything. PSU Flynt |

Re: In remembrance of Marsman This news ruins my day. The man had a voice of silk and a passion for a game and community that is as dear to my heart as anything. This bond unites all of us, and when that bond is broken in such a tragic way, it leaves a hole that cannot be filled. Thank you for everything you did for us Marsman. This community lives on because of you, and in turn, you will live on in this community. RIP |
