38 Studios - Hires Vet McGeathy

38 Studios has hired Vet McGeathy, former Everquest lead designer, as their new systems design lead for their in-development project codenamed Copernicus:

Said 38 CEO and president Brett Close, "38 Studios is extremely proud of the well-known and highly respected designers, artists, and engineers we've attracted. Having Travis, Jason, and Steve as the nucleus of our design team adds further credibility within the industry, strengthening our commitment to deploying a first-rate MMOG, and ensuring fans that we have the skill and experience to deliver an Online Entertainment Experience like no other."

More information.

His name is Travis McGeathy, not Vet.

So 38 is shaping up to be the next Sigil.

Let us hope they don't end up like Sigil.

Interesting name for a studio.

Why 38 ?

Thanks for correcting me. The title of the Gamasutra article confused me. They must have meant veteran then.

Maybe the first 37 suggestions they came up with were crap …

They like guns maybe?

38 Studios, formerly Green Monster Games, is a video game development and publishing company formed by Major League Baseball pitcher Curt Schilling and named for his player jersey number. The company is focused on MMORPGs, which Schilling had previously expressed interest in through Everquest. At the start of spring training in 2007, the company was renamed from Green Monster Games to better give a "…more accurate reflection of what our company is working to achieve".

Found em on Wiki.

Ah, thanks.
