Brian "Psychochild" Green (1973 – 6 August 2020)[1][2] was an American software engineer, game developer and game designer known for his work on one of the first 3D, MMORPG's in existence, Meridian 59 (released 1996). Operated now by open source volunteers, the Meridian 59 servers continue operation after more than nearly twenty-five years.
I just learned that Brian Green passed away on August 6th.... Without Psychochild this game would have died quietly years ago and we all owe him an enormous amount of gratitude. I think his death should be posted here on this globe on his server 101.... For years PC was probably the most active developer this game ever had and understood it in a way that most never did.... Hail Meridian 59 and Hail Psychochild!
