    It is with great sadness that we bring the news that Matt, also known here on the forums as @Xboxx-Addictt, passed away last night after a short spell in hospital.

    We would like to send our thoughts, prayers and wishes to his family, friends and the Community at this very difficult time.

    For those pirates who have made their way to Smuggler's Bay, you might well have come across this easter egg......

    It is a book to commemorate a wonderful gift sent to Rare, crafted by @GeordieTommy and @Xboxx-Addictt. He will be sorely missed.

    This is saddening. Matt was a great guy in the xbox community and although our interactions were very few and far between he was well respected by so many, for good reason.

    A visit to Smugglers Bay is in order ASAP to pay respect to a top bloke who will stay in many peoples thoughts for a long time to come.

    Very sad news... I agree- a pirate pilgrimage to Smuggler's Bay is the least that this committed player deserves... I will make my way there & leave something by the his Easter Egg the next time I log on... :(

    I did not know him, nor have i heard of him before but my condolences to his family and loved ones.
    Great to see him remembered in the game he seemed to love.

    Maybe a Easter egg at a outpost in the form of a statue would be fitting

    Saw this first thing this morning, the suddenness of this had really saddened me...

    His tremendous work in the community has been invaluable to Xbox and Microsoft as a whole and I'm sure many in the wider and closer community are going to greatly miss him.

    Peace and love to his family, friends and anyone he has no doubt communicated with at this really difficult time.

    A heavy loss - my condolences.
    I never knew him personally but it's always sad to hear someone from the community has left for another shore.

    Smugglers Bay will be my next port of call to pay a small tribute.

    Rest in peace me hearty

    So sorry to hear about this. It's extremely hard to lose a family member and friend. My thoughts are with everyone. RIP Matt.

    Words are not sufficient to express my heartfelt sadness over the news of his passing. No one can prepare you for a loss; it comes like a swift wind.

    May this community, his friends and family be comforted by the outpouring of love surrounding them, and in knowing that someone so special will never be forgotten.

    Tonight I will lift my cup of grog on Old Salts Atol and pay my respects to him.
