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.

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

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!

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

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.
