Aradune was Brad Mcquads character in Everquest. A Paladin.
he started as a Paladin but ended as a Ranger. I cant find the thread that was spelling it out. Basically he said the Ranger evolved into the class he thought the Paladin would become. He had a custom fire sword though that still carried over and is often the main reason people still called him a Paladin.

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 know. 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.

Replies like this are why we don’t have an in game memorial.

Live servers have edgelords too and it's not an issue there so I doubt that will be an issue on p99.

It's a an easy add. Daybreak/Darkpaw gives the p99 devs the graphic and it gets added in some future patch.

Some people don't even know who Aradune/Brad McQuaid was, so p99 alone is not a complete memorial.

The only reason I brought it up was because I was playing with a friend in the Karanas and I thought 'it would be nice to go pay my respects to Aradune. He was the first GM I interacted with on EQ back in 1999 and he was really nice. Just seeing his green armor and flaming sword made the game more exciting. My friend agreed and suggested I post the idea here.
