The Matrix Online Producer Letter

Hmm. You know, I just realized the other *CENSORED* slap about this. With Chadwick off the company payroll, shouldn't we have more money to throw around? Now, follow me here, if Chadwick's not responsible for the cinematics and we're not u...

So I guess it shows that Cinematics were the one and only thing that really required Chadwick. I'm honestly not too dismayed about their loss. I will be interested to see how events in the Real will be portrayed now (if at all), however......

If you're on Recursion, RP is generally at Camon C though it has its times where it's rather vacant, there are other moments when I've seen upwards of 20 or 30 people gathered together there RPing out of the blue - it just matters what pla...

Something INCREDIBLE comes on June 13

The last one didn't look like it was going to suck either. But it still did. If they can pull it off, the Hulk story could be pretty *CENSORED* cool. But, well, it's just got to be done right... I'll reserve judgment until I see it.

Something INCREDIBLE comes on June 13

After the flop of the first one I'm surprised they're doing this again. They ought to just let the TV show be the "moving pictures" Hulk legacy.

[9.3.4] Zion mission feedback thread: "Redline"

First Impressions of Datamine

Admittedly, it bugs me when someone notices that you're fighting a data mining spawn and ganks you. But if you're just tapping a regular node, you can stop, drop, and roll into combat pretty easily.
