Meridian 59 Still Not Near Death

tvalley000 writes "Warcry has just finished up a 3 part interview series with Brian Green, CEO of Near Death Studios and Lead Developer for Meridian 59, potentially the oldest commercial MMOG still running today. You can catch the first part here, the second part here, and the third part here. Brian talks about the PC MMOG genre, where he came from, and how the game has weathered the storm of nearly a decade in development and production."

  1. New Rendering Engine by BrookHarty · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Interesting they just keep the game going, and put out new rendering engines. Always wondered why MMPOG's just scrap the game and go on, when the client can just be updated with new GFX. 1996 and the game still looks nice.

    I've always wanted to see a AutoDuel MMPOG, some kind of wasteland, not all this RPG with swords. And Anarchy Online just didnt make the grade, and Star Wars Galaxy isnt hitting the mark.
