This week’s interview is with Mike Emmons, the QA manager for Near Death Studios, the folks behind the classic MMORPG, Meridian 59.
If you’re not familiar with M59, you should give it a try. It’s the oldest graphical MOG out there, and a lot of fun. The game is perhaps one of the best-balanced games out there, and it’s a skill-based leveling system instead of class-based, something I’ve always liked.
Mike’s 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!

It still is. =) You should give it a shot.

-laugh- While I would probably agree, I’m playing DDO and AC at the moment. I probably would have played if I had gotten word of the open-trial period. I don’t visit the M59 site or fansites too often anymore, though. Perhaps I’ll get on their eventually.
