- Summary:
- Meridian 59 was one of the first graphical massively multiplayer online RPGs, and it's still one of the most violent. For almost 30 years, its players have enjoyed all the scheming, backstabbing, and intrigue of a never-ending 3rd grade recess. We spoke with a longtime player who rose to become an administrator of the game's first open-source fan server.
