They have called Meridian 59 home for one year. The first players of the new era of Meridian 59 have aged one Meridian year older today! Thanks to everyone that has been with us playing! In celebration for this very special occasion we've been sharing some fun with the players. Random items were given out which ended up with some rather funny items in players' inventories. As I write this a scavenger hunt in going on where the players are searching out five hidden "god gifts"! These special stat enhancing necklaces are very rare on our server as these are the first five given to players. More fun will be happening throughout the night, tournaments, trivia games, fun and prizes, so get in there to join us!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Thanks to Barry Blair and Colin Chan for their birthday present... the Meridian 59 birthday image shown above!
	First of the M59 Stuff! There's been a running thread on our forums about Meridian 59 merchandise. Many players seem to want Meridian 59 stuff but since we're on a tight budget it's hard to take the chance and manufacture up a bunch of stuff. A few players have been asking us to just open up a CafePress account so we've done just that. We've been talking to them about getting us the ability to offer up some more diverse products such as shirts that aren't white. For now we've put up our first product, a VERY COOL mousepad. It displays the skeletal crew from the splash screen with the Meridian 59 Resurrection logos. Check out the image below and then go grab one for yourself. Look for more stuff to be offered as time goes on. BUY ONE NOW!
	Brian's Bug Bashing From player suggestions, I've been making a few tweaks to gameplay that I will put in an updated patch. I have also been fixing some problems people have encountered as well. A full list of these changes will be posted on the globes when the patch occurs. One of the biggest things I've caught is the problem of the Assassin's Game causing real deaths. This fix should be good news to those that are fans of the game. If you find a bug, please email it to bugs@neardeathstudios.com and let us know! Bugs only hurt the game.
	BUY MERIDIAN 59 NOW! There are still a few Meridian 59 Resurrection Limited Edition CDs for US players and International Pre-Launch Accounts available. There's still lots of Pre-Launch fun to be had! Each Limited Edition CD includes a free Pre-Launch account and each account includes an extra character slot that will remain with the account once the game moves to full commercial launch. These characters will not be deleted and will carry over into the full commercial launch. Hurry up to ensure that you get your Pre-Launch account before they're all gone!
