Who is Rogean really?

[Drieddead]

I guess what im asking is, Are you just an IT with a vast knowledge of codeing and how servers work, or a rogue verant employee taking back what sony took and destroyed from you.... just curious.

[Harrison]

He played on the Nameless. He wasn't a Verant employee lol

[Shannacore]

He likes to speed, this is all you need to know

[Koota]

He likes to do speed, this is all you need to know

fixd

[Nealio]

... a rogue Verant employee taking back what Sony took and destroyed from you....

Verant and Sony are the same entity. Sony Interactive Studios America was renamed 989 Studio, which later went through more name changes as Sony shuffled around it's gaming and subs, becoming Verant Interactive and then finally Sony Online Entertainment.

Everyone who has ever QQ'ed that Sony "ruined EQ" have no clue as Sony owned and operated EQ from it's inception. It's ridiculous that so few actually understood that Qeynos is SonyEQ backwards.

[xshayla701]

Akyra attention whore.

HE TALKS SHIT

[Hobby]

Rogean is just a guy who happens to control all of your destiny's.




Learn it, Accept it, and Move on!

[quellren]

...It's ridiculous that so few actually understood that Qeynos is SonyEQ backwards.

I realized this about 1.9 seconds after I looked at the fold out paper map while the game installed.

[nalkin]

If I am not mistaken Rogean was part of the original concept team at Verant

[Prince]

[Uthgaard]

If I am not mistaken Rogean was part of the original concept team at Verant

[Humerox]

prodigy employee at 989!

[Messianic]

If I am not mistaken Rogean was part of the original concept team at Verant

If i'm not mistaken Rogean invented the internet and devised the first reliable railgun.

Also, if i'm not mistaken, he also cured most pancreatic cancers, climbed mount everest at 8, brokered a peace deal between warring Mongolian tribes in Dornod province, and created his first nuclear reactor at 11.

Rogean is a sex icon sent here by the aliens to destroy all of mankind by getting us addicted to Everquest. It's an evil scheme and in success.

[nemethor]

Seriously though, has anyone ever met him? I wonder what he's like.

[Hasbinbad]

Rogean doesn't sleep; he waits.

[nalkin]

Unconfirmed, but I think Rogean may be black as well. I say this because I know he and Akyra have a good friendship.

[Hasbinbad]

Rogean doesn't have a penis; under his fly is only another fist.

[Otto]

Unconfirmed, but I think Rogean may be black as well. I say this because I know he and Akyra have a good friendship.

Bahahaha

[xshayla701]

[eriamjh]

1999 - 2011 = 12

9 + 12 = 21

21 !!!!!!!!!!

[Messianic]

?!

1999 - 2011 = 12

9 + 12 = 21

21 !!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I was pretty surprised...if that's true, he's pretty awesome for only being 21.

[PureLo]

considering how long eqemu has been around he must have been quite young when this all started as well

[Humerox]

Rogean?

Rogean is ten feet tall, weighs two-tons, breathes fire, and could eat a hammer and take a shotgun blast standing.

[guineapig]

I hear the only way to defeat him is using an ancient ritual that can only be found in the fabled Necronomicon. Also he likes long walks in the park and circus peanuts.

[Shannacore]

I bet he's a funny drunk

[Lamierus]

I heard that he eats nails and shits bullets.
I also hear that he fires lightning bolts out of his nose.:eek:

[stonebeard22]

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.

[Nealio]

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.

Funny... best series of commercials ever too.

[Spud]

I once saw him scissor kick angela lansbury.

I heard he actually beat everquest.

[mitic]

no, he lost his control after velious/luclin.

his "vision (tm)" did not involve instanced zones, pok-books, ooc heals and everthing else ez-mode that came up after luclin.

it was, in fact, sony.

[maegi]

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

[mitic]

So, in conclusion, Rogean > Brad

[(rogean > brad) = (jesus > god)] = fail

[Tzadarkath]

You mean Smedleys EverQuest

[Rogean]

I'm 22 now btw~

[Seaweedpimp]

Young devloper

[Seaweedpimp]

You mean Smedleys EverQuest


I think youre confused... Mcquaid and clover made all the lore. etc basicly the whole game in a nutshell.

Smedy is a pimp that had the idea to make eq into a 1st person online rpg.

He owned the company. He hired these guys to create eq.

[DetroitVelvetSmooth]

eqemu = kickass resume item.

[chaple]

All I can say is wow.... The fact that Rogean is 22 and he has built all of this... just, wow.

Pretty damn impressive... still albiet a baby :)

[Rogean]

I didn't do it alone.

[Drieddead]

Well this ansered my questions. Your a very well educated 22 year old my friend, and as previously mentioned this would probably make one hell of an addition to a resume. Bravo my friend...... but you gotta admit the rogue verant employee thing would make you cooler. XD

[Gorgetrapper]

but you gotta admit the rogue verant employee thing would make you cooler. XD

His father, Rogaine, was a rogue verant employee, who was murdered one night when he began work on the p99 project. So, stepping in to his father's footsteps, Rogean has finally done his father proud by maintaining a successful classic EQ server with his half-brother Nilbog and their crazy-tapped uncle Uthgaard.

After learning that the current lords of EQ (SoE) were the ones that murdered his father, Rogean along with his half-brother Nilbog have made a vow that no matter how many people support them and follow their cause, they will continue to push forward. Threats of many kinds have been issued by mere commoners, but they will not be deterred.

Come my brothers, join their crusade and let p99 be known!

So, in conclusion, Rogean > Brad

Here's some of (Paul Harvey face) the rest of the story:

Microsoft was Brad's cash cow for Vanguard, and somewhere along the way they got cold feet. IIRC, it was because Brad was taking too long with it. Sony picked it up - I'm guessing that he had to take their money - and I know that if I had been in his shoes that would have been the last thing I would have done, but hey...gotta have funding.

Sometime late in beta he started putting crazy shit in the game and doing things entirely contrary to what he'd started. We bitched at him, but he essentially said he was being pushed for release. So - imo - they took creative control from him, told him to put stupid crap in, and pushed him into releasing a game he knew wasn't ready.

This time, instead of screwing up Brad's stuff after release, they screwed it up before it even got off the ground.

Vanguard could have been the shiznit if they'd let him do what he wanted.
