Meridian 59 is a free MMORPG with a long history. First commercially released in 1996, the game has received many updates and even changed ownership several times before being released as open source in 2012. Meridian 59 has changed in many ways, but the core gameplay remains faithful to the original 1990s version. Players can learn spells and skills, complete quests and puzzles, and kill monsters or other players to build their characters.
Meridian 59 is relatively unique in having a smaller game world than modern MMOs, and a large focus of the gameplay is on player-player interaction. Players can organize themselves in guilds, declare other guilds as allies or enemies, obtain guild halls which can be fought over and taken by/from other guilds. PvP combat is a significant part of the game, and players can choose to kill others and become murderers. Players can also choose to join a faction, and support either the Princess, the Duke or the rebels and fight for control of the land.
This website is for the 'Server 105' version of Meridian59, which receives updates with new content and improvements every few months. Players can drive the direction of the game by making feature requests in-game or on the forums.
