Mike Emmons is the QA Manager at Near Death Studios and currently manages the day-to-day operations of the Meridian 59: Resurrection project. Staff Writer Garrett Fuller recently talked to him about the game and its future in this two-page interview.
MMORPG.com: Can you tell us about Meridian 59 Evolution and what it will mean for players?
Mike Emmons: Well, Meridian 59: Evolution marks a new chapter in the game. With this latest update Near Death Studios, Inc. has made its mark in the history of Meridian 59. For example, the graphics are a bit more modern with a new rendering engine, and mouse-look and rebindable keys were added to the client. We aren't looking to take subscribers from other games, but people joining from other MMOs will feel more comfortable.
In addition, we've added new zones, new spells, and new secrets in the game for the players. This isnt unique to just this update, and has been an ongoing process since we acquired the game. |

This game looks fun and I'm finally going to get it (for play at work).
Wonder how much the monthly fee is? About to find out.
We actually have a trial running until the end of January.
You can check it out for free HERE.
Great to see the game management so positive and looking toward the future.
Even with my moving on to other games.. I still have a very strong feeling for M59.
Long Live the KotAO.... Server 104

"Mikes a super nice guy, and has a long history around M59. I enjoyed talking with him and picking his brain (especially the parts where he reveals his REAL title is Company Bitch). Listen for yourself and enjoy! "
