I know Brad probably had drug and addiction issues, not discounting that.
He also created Everquest at a time when he was younger then I am now. So I gotta give him mega kudos for being capable of such a feat.

Usually the best ones have a terrible vice like drugs or sex addiction. I'm not trying to defend him if that was the case. Odds are? yeah he probably died due to drug OD from his oxy fixation.

you cannot discount the fact that the man was brilliant though, and we all owe him a great deal for creating such a safe place for us to exist in digital form. Everquest is insanely ahead of it's time and vanguard to a lesser extent. Guy was incredibly intelligent and probably fell into some dark habits.

doesnt change the fact he helped create something we're still enjoying today. much love and respect to Aradune / Brad Mcquaid for giving to the world, Norrath. I've named every single one of my kids after my Everquest character because it was my family when I didn't have one.


Thank you Brad for giving me that. I'm sure i'm not the only one.
