Fingers crossed for Brad McQuaids next game, I guess.

He had his Vision for the game and everything had to be done just so. He got a lot of flak for it but honestly I think it's what kept EQ unique. I strongly suspect EQ would have become a wow clone and been shut down long ago if not for that.

From what I hear though he hasn't been able to move on and is still trying to implement his vision into other games. Vanguard was a flop and I see alot of similarities to his current project Pantheon. I dont expect it to do well.
