RIP Brad McQuaid

Well this is going to throw a wrench into Pantheon's release date.

Oh shit, only 51...

Rest in peace Aradune

This could turn it around for Vanguard.

RIP my dude.

He was a fucking legend in gaming.
RIP

51 isn't young by any means. Maybe I am just skewed from having so many around me dying in early/mid 40s and being terminalish myself at 47.
I've been studying this some and it appears men go through a major chemical change in their 40s. It's usually when they get their first heart attack/stroke. If they are lucky like me they survive long enough to get on medications that gives them 1-30 more years, if not they die instantly. Men need full blood work and testing done through the 40s and 50s and it would save so many lives.
Could have been OD as well but I'm going to just guess the ticker misticked from blood thickening, heart issues or a rupture in the noggin. It kills way too many damn men and many that suddenly drop to the ground don't get the second chance.

Rip dude.

RIP. He created something that touched hundreds of thousands if not millions in a really special way. I think a lot of people who didn't feel like they had a real place in this world found a sense of belonging and meaning in EQ that they couldn't find elsewhere. Perhaps a lot of it was a lucky accident, but he deserves tremendous credit for what he built and it will certainly continue to live on for years to come - one of the very few games that's not dead in the dirt over 20 years later. /'Raises a glass'
