Wake at McQuaid's

spastic_walrus · #1 11-20-2019, 12:14 AM

So if you're here on the forums then surely you know about the passing of Aradune.. I'm not particularly active socially on p99, but when I heard the news it hit me kind of hard, given the role that Everquest played in helping me through depression in my early teens around the year 2000.

I logged on tonight and shouted to the zone to get a small gathering of about 4 or 5 of us at McQuaid's in Halas to have some mead and ale and reminisce. It would be pretty cool to have a big ol' wake there and really celebrate the community that has been able to exist for so many years thanks to Brad's vision and hard work.

If anyone is more connected socially and wants to do some of the legwork, that would be awesome. I'm not sure where to start on organizing, so I'm just going to leave this here for now.

I will spread the word among <Castle>. Let us all show our respect to Brad McQuaid.

I actually have a busy Sat and Sun, but even if I don't make it, let's make it happen.

Would it be crazy to say...9pm EST Fri, Sat, and Sun? Then people can go to whichever one works for them.

Maybe in better location? Halas is edge of world... and hostile to a lot of characters... so would need to make alts to attend.

Freeport area so much nicer....BUT if it's gonna be a full event ....let's do it up good!! Take over all of Halas!!! Do some kinda GM event!!

I agree that we should do it up good! How do we open a channel to GMs to get this rolling? So far the only plan I've had is to contact some guild leaders.

Another server put up a solid memorial.

Should do it on both servers. Same days. Same times. No confusion.

This is the minimum honor deserving of Brad. Also, Aradune was actually a Ranger, not some shitbag Paladin.

I thought Brad originally was a Paladin in EQ, no? I know he was repping Ranger in Pantheon though.
