So this is a post-Vanguard Brad McQuaid. It's definitely a labor of Everquest nostalgia. I'm interested but, like a Dead Head sticker on a Cadillac, I'm dubious whether we can ever go back.
If you check out of the alpha gameplay, there's a ton of screen text and even sounds that mimic EQ. Those healing spells sure sound familiar.
