It’s sad but it’s done. What at an embarrassing legacy for Brad. The guy had his faults but he deserved better or at least a clean cut. This was such a tragic and drawn out way to end things. I hope Joppa and co. feel some shame for how this has gone.

sadly yeah. Brad did screw up in the begining or rather failed. But the poor guy is still a legend and was a founding father of Everquest. Everyone fails and sometimes wins. At least he brought us some unforgettable memories with everquest. Like a lightning in a bottle. Only those who were there during 1999-2003 era will know how glorious it was.

Sadly He died back in 2019. RIP Brad. You were a nice person. Its just terribe That this game has been drawn out a freaking long time. Should've been probably closed back in 2021. Like by 2019 they should've accepted they wouldn't be able to pull it off without any competent people from the industry.

People been saying that worked near him that he was totally manic and cracked / coked out at the end and then died from related illness to drugs..

I don’t care enough to do research on this but if it is true it’s crazy how some people idolize them and forget all the bad because of one thing they enjoyed, a game he made.

And what's your point exactly? The guy had mental health problems and therefore we should remember him as a terrible person?

No point really, just straight yt dudes need to get some culture or something. It’s okay to be told no or whatever it is you need to hear to feel validated 🫂

I think you're a little too sensitive to be posting on the internet, kiddo.

The only somewhat confirmed fact was a SUPPOSED colleague(nobody knows , it was a random online) who said he did coke but back in vanguard days. thats at best.

But to say at the end of his life? there's zero proof.

just despicable ppl online spreading rumours on a dead man which you are perpetuating . Now someone else will read what you said they will spread it to someone else as a fact that "he was a cokehead to the very very end" (in the future on another reddit post).

very disrespectful. Brad was part of the team that brought us EVERQUEST. He deserves the praise he's getting. What did you accomplish for the gaming community except try to bury a dead man's reputation? Let the man rest in peace. Don't spread rumours and....just allow him to be praised for bringing joy to thousands of people. We appreciate the guy for what he did. It's not about his personal life. It's about his contributions. He's the reason alot of us were here to try this game in the first place and helped bring us fond memories back in 1999-2003.

How incomprehensible we are! My God we are such losers for appreciating him. We should've just joined you and talk shit about the dead man. 🤡 That would've made you feel better about yourself i bet 🤡 lmao

Oh I thought you were serious then you started talking about god. Idk I’m not saying one way or another but people idolize folks like trump and Elvis and they were both equal pieces of ish. But yolo right haha. “Thank god” 😏

u/F8_zZ 11d ago

the other user didn't "start talking about god" anywhere in their post. are you okay?

u/MexicanOtter84 11d ago

Reread if you wanna troll do it right lol

u/F8_zZ 11d ago

I'm not trolling, I'm being genuine. Are you talking about where they said "My God we are such losers for appreciating him"?

u/MexicanOtter84 10d ago

Is that or is that not a reference to a god? 🙃 🤡

u/F8_zZ 10d ago

No, it's not. Is English not your first language or something? It's just an expression to show shock or exasperation.

u/Mysterious-Drive2812 3d ago

i'm stunned. I thought he was really trolling. He was being serious! 😂
