But wait...does the name Brad McQuaid ring any bells? You bet it does...not just the tinkling of yer ordinary, puny, little fairy bells either, but a huge clanging of forged, cast-iron bells pealing out...declaring McQuaid as the moving force, co-designer and stalwart leader of the dev team from inception to launch behind the massively successful multi-player online role-playing game EVERQUEST. EQ has been such a huge success that it has set the standard for years in the MMO field. Every developer at heart has had this sneaking hope that s/he can beat the records set and broken continually by EverQuest...not that most of them will admit it, but the spark of fondly contemplated victory is there.
