Vanguard: GameSpot Q&A (2004)

EverQuest cocreator Brad McQuaid has a new fantasy-themed online RPG in development, and he gives us the details in this interview. Brad McQuaid revolutionized online role-playing games when he helped cocreate Sony Online Entertainment’s EverQuest more than five years ago.

EverQuest was a blockbuster success, and it remains one to this day. More than five years after its launch, it continues to be the most successful online RPG in North America. But McQuaid made industry shockwaves when he left SOE in late 2001.

The following year, he, along with former EverQuest producer Jeff Butler, cofounded Sigil Games Online. Now Sigil’s developers are finally taking the wraps off of Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, the project they’ve been working on the past two years for publisher Microsoft.

Not surprisingly, McQuaid and company are sticking to their roots; Vanguard is an online role-playing game that will allow you to explore and adventure in a virtual world with hundreds, and even thousands, of other players at the same time. GameSpot had the opportunity to catch up with McQuaid to get the details on Vanguard.
