I am without words.
Now we all need to make sure Pantheon becomes the best game known to mankind. This was his dream and we will make sure to create the best community in his honor.
20 years ago I've discovered Norrath. It has changed my life forever. I owe a debt of gratitude I can never repay.
Thank you for all the great memories and pleasure EverQuest brought to me during all those years.
My condolences to everyone. Talk about a shocking piece of news.
My life wouldn't be where it is today if it weren't for his contributions to the gaming industry. Everquest snared me when I was a teen, gave me a home, and introduced me to my wife of 11 years. We set our sights on SOE, dreaming to work for the company that had given our life so much. We both worked there for a time and greatly enjoyed it until it was time to move on. It's safe to say that nearly 15 years of my life was heavily shaped by a creation that he took part in. Though my life has gone elsewhere now, I will always look back on that time with fondness and enjoy the memories, and I can't thank Brad enough for having lended his creativity and talent to that which gave me so much.
Thank you Brad. Rest in peace. You are a hero to many.
This is crazy. I super hope it wasn't over stress with Pantheon. No project is worth your life. When ever I heard him talk it seemed like he was super tired and or depressed. That can lead to mental illness or physical health problems like high blood pressure. If poeple care about him, then Pantheon has to keep going with the vision.
His name should be the first thing that anyone sees when they load this game up, forever end of story...
