Brad McQuaid is a computer game designer who was one of the original designers of EverQuest, making him a major name in the massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) industry.
Biography
McQuaid entered the video game industry in 1989, participating in the creation of the game WarWizard. During a time when Ultima Online was the most famous name in online fantasy games, Brad McQuaid's role in the production and release of the future encumbant EverQuest by Verant Interactive put his name, as well as his character name, Aradune Mithara into the public conciousness.
After Sony Online Entertainment acquired Verant Interactive, Brad McQuaid was promoted to Vice President of Premium Games and Chief Creative Officer. Despite what seemed like a blessing, he found the lack of hands-on influence over the game upsetting. He set aside his fabled place upon Norrath, and created Sigil Games with a list of other familiar names in the industry.
As the MMORPG industry readies itself for the launch of highly anticipated titles, such as World of Warcraft and the long-overdue EverQuest II, Brad McQuaid and Sigil Games announced their own title to compete: Vanguard: Saga of Heroes. Despite opposition from two powerful names in the gaming industry, many support Brad McQuaid and eagerly wait to see if he can raise the bar once again.
