Near Death Studios' Mike Emmons about the current status of Meridian 59 and how the MMORPG has evolved over the past ten years. Check it out:
Q: Of the MMORPG's on the market, who do you feel has come as close to M59 in purity of game play and original vision?
A: Personally, I don't think anyone has really come close to Meridian 59 in the areas of character variety and meaningful PvP. These features are what keep our players sticking around for so long. These also make Meridian 59 more of a niche game, and as such, it may be a bit dangerous for larger companies to venture into same design plan.
However, if I had to choose one that came out of the closest I would say Shadowbane. It's a hard-core PvP game, but they haven't quite matched all our features and they have a lot of other features in the game that separate them from Meridian 59.
