MatrixRefugee

I'm going for Occam's Razor in my approach to MxO ending, to whit: "Of several acceptable explanations for a phenomenon, the simplest is preferable.” The game may be ending, but the Matrix isn't. I'm seeing the Machines simply rebooting th...

Yeesh, it's like watching people argue about the will or who started the fight at Cousin Muriel's weddding, while Cousin Muriel is on her deathbed -.-

I wish I'd been around more to have taken a bigger role in this, but it was an utter blast and I completely enjoyed myself. Thanks for the memories, and peace out, fella.

For me: 1. Run all the Neighborhood Contact missions and jot down all the friendships/rivalries between the characters 2. Run the Archive missions I haven't done (probably on Sieges's brother). 3. Come up with an explanation for who put th...

This has to be one of the most balanced reports on What Went Wrong with MxO. It doesn't point fingers, but it does name the issues. Thank you for saying what needed to be said. I'm looking forward to Part 2.

It looks like the Familia is moving on the City of Heroes/Villains, and once the Rogue expansion goes through, we'll be really tearing up Paragon City.

I'd go for the first one. We've got the cinematics to show the storyline, but the scenery in this game... stunning stuff that needs to be remembered.

Amen to that, brother...

./sign I got two characters on recursion whom I haven't levelled up.

The FG forums will be staying up indefinately. MxO may be shuttered soon, but I'm still going to muck around in the Matrix-verse, so I'll be hosting my stories from there.

Recursion: Sieges (level 50 Ms. "Not your typical Merv", aka the Merovingian Paladin) GuillimarTheBard (Level 26 Sieges's older brother who self-substantiated after being attacked by Unlimits) Morraeon (Level 24: Ms "Death on legs") Khnumr...

Agreed! I'm going through and copying all my personall RP posts. I'm not going to touch the LE posts I've made, so I'm hoping someone mirrors those.

(( Just noticed this for the first time, and I wish I'd commented sooner... but... YIKES!!! Brain-bendingly good!))

Keeping watch over the night, till the darkness fades into nothing....

I'm just regretting that I have a wall of Archive and Neighborhood Contact missions ahead of me. And that I never got more than one lvl 50 character on any server.

It's been a good four years... I'm sad to see it end, and I'm a bit frazzled thinking about all the stuff I haven't done ingame, which I'll be scrabbling to do in the next two months. I'm considering an endgame for my three characters, but...

:: Hands these kids a copy of Watchmen, to give them an idea of what happens to superheroes in the real world::

D'oh!! I should have thought to look there. Thanks, fella! Between you and Vesuveus offering a helping hand, I'm all set.

Bonehead question, but does anyone have a list of the names of Argon's goons that show up in one of the Pandora's Box missions?

Neo fragments, Enhanced Silver Bullet, newspaper clipping and Awakening glasses. I'll check my pockets the next time I'm jacked in.

Poor Barnsley. :: Hugs him gently::

I haven't seen one of the mystery spawns at Mara, but it's not for lack of trying. Keep up the good work, Viraggo and don't let the nay-sayers get you down.

First, a shot of Sieges going into "Morraeon-mode", back in the day: Morraeon as she looks now that she's in her own RSI:

Ooh, they're a great way to level: I ran the last five levels on Sieges by running all the Merv missions I'd missed out on, plus the Zion and Machine ones.

We'd like to extend a warm welcome to the family to Vacendak, who recently returned to the simulation, and to Gensatsu, who was newly Awakened by Tranque and Tsudo. Amd congratulations go out to TekMon, for achieving the rank of Pawn in a...

Goodbye, Vogt, and thanks for all the work you put into the Hovercraft Battles. :: Salutes::

1. No 2. No, not if people use the energy they keep wasting on whinging to create some good player-run storylines.

Mm, you don't have to PvP on a PvP server, but then there's always the sorts who jump lowbies at hardlines, which is one reason I tend to shy away from Vector. That said, welcome back, fella!

This... is made of win. I've been shying away from a few games because of my three-year-old GFX card, which is giving me indications it may need to be replaced soon... but this just might solve the whole problem.

(( Oh no! Barnsley's been Smith'ed!!))

To paraphrase the put-upon GM in the D&D-clone gaming session in a famous "Something*Positive" webcomic: "The Matrix crashes! Everyone dies!"

Yeah, the authentication server seems flooky and has been for a couple of hours. Heh, an annual MxO anniversary tradition: crashing some of the hardware!

Oy, yeah, I know how it feels to move (helped my ex move twice in one year: exhaustion city, even when you get friends to help). Nice pics of you and Mrs. Viraggo and Little Viraggo! :: Waves hello::
