Remember Brad McQuaid? As one of EverQuest's original creators and eventually the man behind Vanguard, Brad is a legend in the gaming industry. Sure, his reputation spiraled downward after his time with Sigil and Vanguard, but he has now come out of hiding to tell us all that we should play Vanguard!
Wait, what? Is he now working for SOE again? Well, no one knows if that's the case or not, but the fact is, Brad seems quite keen on getting back into the industry. After taking a few years off to "ride street bikes and dirt bikes, as well as drive sports cars, as often as possible", Brad wants to start creating games again. So if you're a fan of Brad's work with EverQuest, Vanguard (or even WarWizard), head on over to his newly-revamped blog and show him some support.
[EDIT: Some are speculating that this is an impostor. You be the judge.]

One of two things happened, some lawyer found a clause or loophole and he is being "handled" to try and provide income for the game.....or....he ran out of bling money and did something with/for something to get back onto the payroll.

Smedley and McQuaid deserve each other.

Just the fiasco with McQuaid showing up at work after a several month long, drug addled absence, calling his employees to the parking lot, firing 75% of them while accepting a cushy job for himself...
He takes the asshole cake. At least Smedley is doing his job, however poorly, McQuaid was the captain that took the lifeboat while his crew went down with the ship.
