Rogean once visited a Psychic…to warn her.

Rogean planted the idea for the movie ‘Inception’ into Christopher Nolan’s mind while he was dreaming.

When Rogean goes for a swim he doesn’t get wet, the water gets him.

From Brad's own blog :

"Brad McQuaid has been involved in games development for over 15 years. He was the original producer and co-designer of EverQuest, managing the development team from the project's inception until its launch. He then assumed the role of executive producer for the first few EverQuest expansions. He also was a founder of Verant Interactive and its Vice President. After Verant's acquisition by Sony Online Entertainment, Brad served there as Vice President of Premium Games responsible for EverQuest, EverQuest 2, EverQuest Online Adventures, PlanetSide, and Star Wars: Galaxies. In addition, Brad was the company's Chief Creative Officer."

Brad was involved hands on with EQ for far longer and had far more control than you realize. The fact of the matter is, Sony did not ruin EQ, players did. Sony gave the majority of the players what they wanted, and as a result we have the game as it is today. Sony did not ruin EQ any more thaan Blizzard ruined WoW or Mythic ruined Warhammer.

Simply put, humans are pathetic, greed destroys, evil races in mmo's are always sexier, and all mmo's flame out after a short period because of this.

Brad McQuaid is an American computer game designer who was the key designer of EverQuest, a highly successful massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) released in 1999. He later co-founded Sigil Games Online where he served as CEO and Executive Producer of Vanguard: Saga of Heroes until Sony Online Entertainment's acquisition of Sigil Games Online in May 2007.

He left Sony to create Sigil Games with Jeff Butler in January 2002. Several years later, McQuaid announced that Sigil would release a new next generation MMORPG. This game was given the name Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. The game was finally released to the public in January 2007, five years after Sigil was founded. However, Vanguard had many technical problems and it was generally regarded as a failure upon launch.[citation needed] Brad McQuaid admitted that the game was not ready in January but was released early due to "financial resources".Full quote

After five months of disappointing reviews and sales, on May 15, 2007, Sony Online Entertainment officially announced that it had purchased the key assets of Sigil Games Online. Brad McQuaid was removed from his position of leadership within Sigil and was given a very limited role of "creative consultant".

So, in conclusion, Rogean > Brad
