Brad isn't on EQN. People keep saying that but he's not.

They're in the same building, probably on the same floor, I'm sure he isn't officially 'on' EQN but I would imagine SOE would look to the original creators for guidance here and there?

Why? They have plenty of EQ people on the project. I assume if they wanted his advice he would be on the team.

Then you bring him back? I don't know what you're saying. He's either on the team or he's not. Lol.. His name being attached to it will not help or hurt the final product. If its good its good..

For the record I flat out asked him a few months back and he said no.

If I were running the company and I knew people like us existed, then I'd probably say Brad is working with the company but not directly on the project, but, yeah, I'd have him working on the project its the fucking biggest thing they have going for them of course he's working on it.

He's a bit of a PR debacle so yah I think what they're doing sounds about right?

I could see your point if he was running the project or making design descisions but I don't think anyone thinks that. So if he's just working on the game or acting as consultant who would really care? In the end we will find out. It's certainly possible he could be brought on but I don't see the need to hide it. On top of that it would only embarrass the guy if they did lol.

Maybe they're consulting him to know what not to do?

Anyway wonder just how much they've shown at E3, people saying it was the best mmo there but was it based on what was shown or what they said would be in the game eventually? I just wonder how much they've done and is actually going to make it compared to what they want to do. Sadly won't know until august, if that.

My interest is piqued, but I have a real hard time believing any marketing Tweets from Smed and the like. Looking forward to the reveal in August though. I like the idea of open Eve-like zones to build and battle on.

I'm going to make a new website and rate Titan Best in Show for E3 2013 for teh traffik. Then write an article saying I can't tell you what I saw and don't believe the "rumors" it was canceled/scrapped.

If nothing else...I take away that EQN(what they were shown) must be different from the current crop of games at E3. I'm with Pryo.. I'd like to know how much they were shown/told about the game.

I would say you are all being a little naive to not think this is true. Like you wouldn't ask the original designer for some tips or help while he's in the same building is funny. He's not offically on the game but he will have no doubt some influence on it.

I don't doubt that takes place on a daily basis in that industry in general.. But as for him working on the game and sitting in on meetings??

They didn't have a problem with annoucing Butler as Creative Director so I don't think they'd have a problem with stating Brad's on the project. But as noted multiple people have stated Brad is happy working on EQ1 - and staying there. Butler and Georgeson seemed firmlly in charge at the worthless little show they had at E3.

I bet, regardless of rumors, that Brad is still much looked up to by the employees there, he provided the first revenue stream to give them all a living with the stuff that came out of his head, and can probably walk into almost any meeting to sit in and listen. If Brad is the author of the first book in this series he must be ghost writing the following ones at the least.

Dude,

Who cares abt whether Brad is on EQN team or not. He is in freaking SOE. Is it possible for him to just sit down with the rest of the EQN team and talk about ideas during lunch? Hell yeah.


Does that make him "in the EQN team"? Hell, no, but does it matter? Come on.
