PAX East 2018. I am at the Pantheon booth chatting to a dev when he mentions Brad and gestures toward the back. Lo and behold there stood Brad McQuaid, one of the creators of my favorite game of all time. I shook his hand and introduced myself before gushing out my love for EQ. Brad told the other dev that a spot had opened up later that afternoon to play the Alpha and told me to come back to the booth at 3.
Later when I returned I expected to be thrown into the game to have a look around and give them my feedback. I found the dev I had been talking to earlier and he informed me "Brad will be right back. He wanted to play alongside you personally." Brad returned, put on a headset, and proceeded to run a dungeon with me as Aradune followed by more EQ/Pantheon talk.
RIP
