Longer dissertation pending, this is just a quick aside to note that it is very disturbing that the idea of "23 people starting again with nothing" after "Zion ... destroyed; its every living inhabitant terminated, its entire existence era...
For many of us, there was never any real Truce, it was all just another lie used as an attempt at reestablishing Machine control. After all, Zion had no representation or input on the Truce, it was concocted by two Machine Programs and sho...
Fly In Amber lives in my item slot, because if it doesn't, using it from a hotbar will make it malfunction. Hundreds of you owe your last-second res to my Fly In Amber being equipped. It's high irony that a piece of the Assassin is being u...
People who load a support role during a combat event will never get a reward for the total-damage-inflicted/top-damage-inflicted/killing-blow categories, yet those who do get the awards probably couldn't have done it without the buffs/heal...
I noticed today that the Exile Contact Cerulean (far Northwest of Bathory) is also levitating just above the ground. A little sunk or a little floaty, these are pretty minor issues, especially for a world with such a varied terrain height...
Sorry if I seemed angry about it, I tend to wax passionate about things I care about, but it can come across in a post as rage when really it was only annoyance. Without saying too much, yesterday I had a lengthy chat with a friend of mine...
I would just like to stress again, that my only issue here is the certification . The reasons for the 8x00 series' specific issues (indoor lag due to CPU spike on XP and fully corrupted texture combinations on VISTA) all make perfect sense...
Dell makes a solid computer (unless you get the low end) and nvidia makes a great graphics card, especially the 79x0 series which work great with MxO. If you want to get an XPS with a 79x0 series card, don't let this stop you, but you migh...
Dinner time in New Zion! Come and get it! YUM YUM! It looks to me as if that is 100% fungus and "fleshy roots," stuff that grows with no sunlight. In Enter the Matrix, Sparks asks Niobe and Ghost "When I cart your dead bodies back to Zion,...
Welcome to MxO. Thanks for choosing Recursion. The Brethren are a beta faction dedicated to the MxO community and to holding and participating in Activities and Events on Recursion. Contact Commodore PS10N or Captain Morphesu in-game, thru...
I wasn't blaming Dell for the in-game issues, I'm blaming them for putting their Certification on something without actually first going through a valid testing and certification process. As for the rest, yes you're about spot-on.
As corporations, I had no real problems with Sony/SOE, Dell, MxO or Nvidia before this "Certification" was put up. The whole problem with the 8x00 series having two specific issues with MxO made perfect sense from a technical perspective:...
I noticed a recent addition to the front page of www.matrixonline.com This: All Dell XPS desktops come standard with an Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS or GTX video card! (The low-end one has an 8600) Umm... hello? MxO doesn't run on an 8800 serie...
Although I am very much looking forward to the ease of free trials for all SOE MMOs and very much looking forward to chatting out-of-game with everyone in-and-out of game, I will wait to adopt this until I am forced to. Why? Because I have...
Thank you all for making this a really fun party on my birthday. Thanks to RedBindi of APOC radio, too. A great time was had by all, there was Birthday Cake from Francine and we can say for certain that a train wreck isn't always a bad thi...
<yoda> Look I so old to you? When 39 years you reach, look as good you will not! </yoda> Assuming any of you punks survive that long! Using the "social skillz" most often seen here, you won't! (OK, so this was last year's birthday picture,...
Thanks everyone! Everyone who was alive in the 60s raise your hand! *raises hand* Everyone who remembers the 60s, raise your hand! *lowers hand* Remember, Effy's party is today on Recursion at club Avalon at 3PM MCT! See you at the party!...
Congrats on 500 posts in this topic. While The Brethren haven't been tracking this event due to many issues, we fully support the increased activity and interest. Keep up the good work.
Effy, this is the second year in a row that you've thrown a party on Recursion on my birthday. Are you trying to steal my thunder or are these parties secretly for me? C'mon, you can tell me, it won't ruin the surprise. Oh I know, the ugli...

Canon from MxO, not from the movies. Nothing in any of the movies even alludes to "failed ones." It was a bad idea that someone who wrote/writes for MxO didn't see through and instead used it, giving it more validity than even the "it's en...
Happy Birthday! SCORPIOS RULE! And, for those of you who always wondered what the heck does a squirrel have to do with The Matrix, here is your answer:
I've never bought the "source deleted Smith thru connection of Neo" bunk. It's a lame excuse of an explanation for people who don't understand the mystical symbolism behind the entire story. It's another one of those fan created delusions...
You won't get Reputation points for every mission. They are rare and precious, especially when you are trying to get 100 total to use the Outpost Key. Getting all of them (Reputation: Maximum) is a true milestone.
Thanks, SolidRevolver, I missed the train on that one! Yes, it's very important to stay together during missions to make sure everyone makes it into the Mission Area (red on the map) before the goals are completed there and it closes. Also...
Did you run those missions with someone else before? You can only get $info, XP (Experience) and Reputation from those missions the first time. Even if someone else is leading the mission team, once you have completed a mission from that s...
eh, I was overly harsh with the Trolling part, just over-stating the point I suppose. Welcome to the new players, there are some of us here to help you.
That was DragonRipperGER's very first post since joining our "community" and he was met with bad attitudes and hate. Shame on you all who said "get over it," you have disgraced yourselves. This is his very first experience of MxO and the f...
From what I understand, when using an 8000 series card for MxO, you have two choices: the rock: use Windows XP and suffer horrible lag indoors or the hard place: use Vista and suffer horrible texture glitches when using certain clothing If...
Welcome back. First jack-in was 990 days ago today, in late beta. /play time is nearly 200 days. Been here so long, I've got to calling it home. Never going to leave until there's no place left to come to. Look me up in game - a lot has ch...
Is there any interest at all in the Hovercraft Recognition and Design chart? It would be better with fan art instead of stock shots from the movie site, but it gets what's available. There are more jpgs on the server; the links haven't bee...
This is something done one day while bored. It has what you want, more or less. It's not complete and not much more than a proof of concept. There are more pictures available to flesh it out, but that Time thing again. (Click on the little...
Knoxville, it's the Megacity, only smaller Photo credit here Archangel may live and work around there, but I know where the best club nights are. The Matrix is real enough... if you know where to look for it. There have been many nights of...
It's that time of year again, and since the Halloween Update has been delayed, here's some things from last year's Hel Club party (and last year's Underworld 2 Premier party) to get you in the mood for darkness and undead: Trust me, you'll...
Let me just ask you this... do those little twirping birds that fly around your head all the time keep you awake at night? You're at it again, defending those who slaughtered the friends and families of myself and my friends and family who...
I have rebutted EVERYTHING you have said while you have IGNORED every proof I've made. It obvious you don't have any moral, reasonable or logical argument to back your insanity, so you just keep repeating the same programmed rhetoric which...

Ah, the ever evasive ignorant evades every single issue which is brought up with a personal attack on the other debater. So typical. The surface is one big graveyard, you blind and foolish generation. Amazing that you haven't addressed the...
It's so very sad that you continue to try to vindicate the the despots, the killers and the liars. The blood on the floors of Old Zion proves your failed morality. So many have been killed because they would not be lied to, overwritten or...
NICE system Paige6! Lovin' it over here. I had to doctor this one a bit because the camera couldn't handle the contrast levels and washed out the background on the screens. The Megacity in 180 degree triple head is like nothing else...
The mass graves which were six cities attest to the slaughter of the innocent. The bones of nearly 1,300,000 mock your defense of their murderers. I challenge you to name one single action of the machines from the time they destroyed New Y...

If the Machines can't control you, they will overwrite you and if that can not be done, they will kill you. This is an indisputable fact of their constant behavior over the past six and a half centuries. This means all of you. The Redpill...
