Sigil Games Online
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sigil Games Online, Inc. is a computer game developer based in Carlsbad, California that was founded by Brad McQuaid and Jeff Butler in January 2002 after leaving Sony Online Entertainment and EverQuest. The company is developing Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, a massively multiplayer online role-playing game to be co-published by Sony Online Entertainment and Sigil Games Online on January 30, 2007.
Sigil began growing once they reached their publishing deal with Microsoft in April 2002 and has attracted many developers who previously worked on the EverQuest series of games alongside McQuaid and Butler for Sony Online Entertainment/Verant Interactive. For example, artist Keith Parkinson, who had done the cover art for EverQuest and most of its expansions, joined Sigil in April 2002. Also around that time is when design work began on Vanguard.
Sigil has now moved away from Microsoft as their publisher and is using Sony Online Entertainment to help with publishing and billing issues.
