“It is with deep regret and profound sadness that we share that Brad McQuaid, Chief Creative Officer of Visionary Realms passed away in his home last night. Brad was a visionary, a mentor, an artist, a trailblazer, a friend, a husband, a father. He touched thousands of lives with his dreams and concepts. He changed the landscape of video games forever. He will be deeply missed and forever remembered in life and in Pantheon. Thank you, Brad, for bringing us together through your worlds. Rest in peace, Aradune. All of us at Visionary Realms offer our deepest condolences to Brad’s family and during this most difficult time, we kindly ask that you respect the privacy of Brad’s family.” Very sad news, I am very grateful for all he did to bring us EverQuest Title: Re: Brad Mcquaid Post by: Rakharth on December 17, 2019, 08:30:30 am Just saw this not sure if anyone else posted this.

Even though I've only been a steady player for about a year, I have felt the enormity of this loss. Brad helped shape not just an amazing world, but also a real community that is still going today, even if it's a teeny-tiny bit smaller than it once was.
If you play Live and can get to East Karana easily, there is (or at least was) a monument to his character Aradune.
