Brad McQuaid and Jeff Butler made their names while working together on the MMORPG, EverQuest, but are now taking their talents elsewhere. After resigning from their respective positions last year, they have formed an unnamed game development corporation. Not only that, but their first MMORPG title is presently in the works. We have yet to find more details on other members of the company or the status of the project.

While with Verant Interactive and later Sony Online Entertainment, McQuaid was the co-designer of EverQuest, Butler was the producer. Sovereign, PlanetSide, and Star Wars: Galaxies are among some of the other titles under the belt of McQuaid, although Butler also had an integral role in the creation of three expansion packs for EverQuest: The Shadows of Luclin, The Scars of Velious, and The Ruins of Kunark.
