It really makes me wonder when people praise McQuaid as the savior of online gaming when his last project for SoE finally gets shut down after years of struggling.
I remember him saying he did alot of the work in EQ2 back when it first got off the ground, and we all know how that worked out, over time a brand new EQ2 game was patched in. and from hearing about it its quite eerie how certain aspects of EQ2 ended up in VG.
