I remember Brian back from comp.graphics.alogorithms (IIRC). He used to be such a putz. But he has learned much since then. His
posts are usually very well thought out (even if you don't agree with him). He is a great asset to the Verant team.

I believe Brian said he wasn't involved with EQ or the expansion directly, but concentrating on future projects (and also not
Sovereign). Now there are rumors that Verant is teaming with LucasArts on a MMORPG based in the Star Wars Universe. I'll take a
wild guess and say that Brian Hook is working on the Star Wars game.
