Crazy, even though he's been the butt end of countless jokes the dude impacted a lot of people in a positive way... If I had to guess I'd say a combo of drugs and depression, perhaps, or bootleg prescriptions with fentanyl.

Holy crap. I actually stopped by the Pan'Theon booth at PAX as a looky-loo and he was surprisingly engaging and very approachable. He really defined what it meant to be an MMORPG without which this whole community would not exist. RIP Aradune

Feels bad man... I took his name from a sign in Halas before I knew who he was.

Don't be dicks. Like or hate him, he had a family and friends. I wouldn't have had the great time I enjoyed in game dev without him. Put aside the snark and jokes for a bit.

Being dead doesn't change he was a junkie that stole money and fired people in the parking lot so he could buy a new dirt bike

Edit:. About half shit post

He helped make EverQuest, but was obviously deeply flawed

Was that whole failure entirely his fault? Really?

It's remarkable how there is absolutely no discussion on the cause of death.

I'm guessing it was some kind of suicide. Which will make it tough for his family.

Not to worry, wiki's going to have it soon enough. Meh, probably drug related. But who knows.

His work changed my life. Stumbled upon EQ when I was 11 years old. Made me fall in love with MMO's and PC gaming.

I will always stand by my word that Vanguard was the real EQ2, and such an awesome game.

Damn, that's very sad. As much as we joke about shit in this thread and criticize Brad, I think he(and EQ) hold a pretty special place in most of our hearts. RIP Aradune!
