Vor gut 15 Monaten wurde einer der Urväter des 3D-MMORPG offline: Meridian 59. Doch nun wird es wieder auferstehen, denn eine Firma mit dem netten Namen Near Death Studios hat 3DO die Lizenz abgekauft und wird das Spiel bald wieder anbieten. Hier ein Auszug aus der Presserklärtung:

Near Death Studios was founded in 2001 by former Meridian 59 game developers Rob Ellis II and Brian Green. Rob Ellis II has served as Lead Level Designer, Game Designer, and World Builder, on such titles as Meridian 59 and Ultima Online. “Meridian 59 was my first game and I’m incredibly pleased to have the opportunity to allow fans to once again play their favorite online only game,” said Rob.

Brian Green helped design and program three updates to Meridian 59 before working on a single player game at 3DO and then working at Communities.com. “After putting my heart into a game as historic as Meridian 59, it’s a wonderful feeling to be able to bring it back online for the community to enjoy,” said Brian.
