Original EverQuest designer Brad McQuaid has rejoined the massively multiplayer
online game's development team, according to McQuaid's recent post on the game's official forums.
His return to EverQuest comes after a 12-year absence and will allow him to work on
features that date back to the 13-year-old MMO's launch.
"When I was given the
opportunity to return to the team it was something I just had to do!" he
wrote. "I started playing right away and got a paladin into his mid-30s. I
found, in addition to all of the great new features and [user interface] elements,
that the game, at its core, was still very much the [EverQuest]
I was involved with. In fact, some of my first work as a game designer on the
team will be working on areas that have been alluded to since launch. I can't
say more than that, of course, but I'm sure you can imagine how exciting this
is for me."
After McQuaid left the EverQuest team, he co-founded Sigil Games Online and helped develop
the Vanguard: Saga of Heroes MMO. Sigil was purchased by Sony Online Entertainment, which
also publishes EverQuest. It adopted a free-to-play model last year.
