About Meridian 59

Play the world's first 3D massively-multiplayer online game! You will need to create a free account on our Web site in order to log in.

Meridian was released in 1996, when few people had heard of the Internet. It became well-known for its exciting player-vs-player (PvP) combat system, often setting alliances of guilds against each other. It has been running almost continuously ever since. In 2010 it returned to its original creators, and now it's open source and completely free. Come and see the game that started it all!

After creating your account and logging in, you will customize your character and select your initial skills and spells. You start in the town of Raza. Right-click on signs to learn the controls and basic combat. After passing through a glowing portal, you will be transported to the main world, where you are free to explore. Don't be afraid to ask other players for help!

Meridian is completely free--there are no purchases, in-game or otherwise, and no advertising. If you would like to donate to keep the servers running, you may do so on our Web site.

It's free, give it a try if you want to see a piece of mmo history. Pretty difficult to figure out though, you'll need a lot of patience if you want to really get into it. Not a lot of people are still playing unfortunately.

Easy to get into, absolutely free, funny by moment and a community that actively chat, chill and writes. What not to like? FInally an MMORPG untouched by corporate greed. Highly recommend to try at least :)

very fun and immersive mmorpg that brings a lot of charm and rewards those who want to put in the time. you completely customize your character from the ground up. there are 6 unique schools of magic to choose from, as well as plenty of attacks and skills to choose from. the world is stunning and charming with a variety of areas to explore and challenging platforming. the NPCs are unique and a pleasure to interact with. they have plenty of dialogue and unique interactions. the lore is mysterious, deep, and interesting to discover. there are options for both PVE and PVP, both of which are rewarding and enjoyable in their own rights. the community is lively, active and friendly, and are more than willing to help people learn how to get adjusted to the game and how to play. the community's developers are available to be reached in their public discord server, and are very responsive to questions and feedback. events are hosted often by the community and devs. if you are looking for a new fantasy mmorpg, i highly recommend checking out meridian 59, we are always looking for new players! if you are new and need help, please reach out if you see d'Elielle or Leveigh online. i am always h…

Castlevania Belmont's Curse price: which edition to buy

The Castlevania Belmont's Curse price splits in two: Steam charges full list, authorised resellers a quarter less. Our record says that 25% has not moved since June, and is the floor.

Hogwarts Legacy price history: where the floor really is

Our Hogwarts Legacy price history runs to 100 daily readings and a $3.99 median. Why the sub-dollar figure in search results is noise, and what to actually pay.

Our Starfield price history shows one reseller set the all-time low over five weeks in late summer 2026. What a good price looks like now, and why Game Pass comes first.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

The Rust price has two answers: an official one that barely moves, and a reseller one that sat in single digits for 95 days and then disappeared. Our record shows both.

Planet Zoo 2 price: which edition, and when it gets cheaper

Planet Zoo 2 is out today. The Planet Zoo 2 price splits two ways, the cheap pre-order keys stopped existing three weeks ago, and the original got dearer as the sequel landed.
