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.
