Actually, it seems as though the complaining has died down. But in case the rightous anger tries to flare up again, here is something to put this all into perspective. When SOE inflicted the NGE on the Star Wars Galaxies game, there was cr...

Yeah, I brought this game up about a year ago. Cannot wait to get it; it is out yet?

There was a massive forum glitch that day during a forum update that had everyone who had ever used these forums as online at the same time. Us conspiracy louts consider it a 'purposeful' glitch.

When I resubbed (after only a two-month hiatus-- thanks Rarebit), I told myself that I would just stick it out this time, until the end. Especially since the end seemed a lot closer now. But the fact is, I don't have any reason to jack-in...

Wow, welcome back stranger. Last I heard, you were rubbing elbows with the rich and famous (and getting a bit famouser yourself). Tired of the Hollywood life? Maybe we'll run into each other inside.

Oh I get it, completely. As I said, it was a brilliant story. I'm just saying that I left the theater feeling worse about life than when I went in. If that's what the director was going for, then hat's off to him. That's not really why I g...

Yeah, as far as intriguing works of fiction go, this was a great story. As a movie. . .not so much. The characters just didn't translate to screen very well, and the way the whole Nixon thing was handled just made the very notion ridiculou...

Interesting color overlays and lighting there, Odj. And strangely enough, Hostile's is the inverse, with shadowing that must have required a fair amount of research. Excellent work you two, as always.

/salute to an old-timer and one-time Beta Player of the Week. See you when you get back.

http://MxOMainframe.com is your best briend. Also, http://www.thematrix.rumbaar.net/index.php And join a faction as soon as you feel comfortable with how you're gonna play your character. They'll help you the most.

A well-deserved honor for a great player. Congrats, Syn!

Way to go, FU! Err, that's short for. . .nvm. . . <.<

It's about more than a contract. This game was billed as giving its players the ability to continue the story of the Matrix. Look at all the old marketing videos and box art. That's what sold MxO, not the EULA. Every player still here boug...

Well, the idea wasn't to be so specific about the story, ML. In fact, I think everyone agreed that rewriting Rare's ending is a bad idea, regardless of how creative (which yours was). As Seiges said, the story is just a backdrop for our ow...

Hey, me again. I understand your frustration. The answer to your question, however, is simply that no such list exists. At least, nothing updated. I think the last one that was attempted was Fenix's "Hot Debates" thread, but even that wasn...

I understand how you feel. It's just sad that we can't have nice things.

Actually, you can set a gun as "preferred" in your Inventory. Right click on the icon of your weapon of choice, and you should have a choice to "Set as preferred". Doing that will cause you to whip it out everytime you go to guns. On a sid...

Heh, when I read the title of this thread, I thought to myself "what does brain doctors who can break codes just by looking at them have to do with the Matrix?" Just an insight into how my twisted mind convolutes things.

Oh well, my motto has always been to make other's RP more important than my own. What the he11. But I better not get phone calls at 3am. . . Unless it's Morpheus.

A well-deserved bow. MxO's a little darker without you. Good luck, Knoxville.

Nice work on the bike, Odj, and I liked the skyline transition on the last one, too. Garu's was pretty cool, too, especially the subtle code fall. It doesn't catch your eye right away; you just sort of notice it.

Last time I moved I paid $800 for Two Men and a Truck to load all my furniture and boxes into their truck, drive it 7 miles, and unload it into my new house. Worth every cent.

Brilliant story, man. Captures life in the service of the Merv very neatly. Just a little more descriptive detail, and I would have been there , you know? The first-person POV works very well for you, and it's tough to pull off. Not bad, n...

Good read, Phrack. Some creative license, to be sure, but entertaining all the same. It all boils down to money, folks. SOE probably wanted to promote MxO. What entertainment company wouldn't want to tout a name brand as big as the Matrix?...

So, Psilody, just out of curiosity, how are you going to play it? In character, I mean. You going to ignore the last few chapters? Play as though Rare finished the story? Just call it like you see it is all I'm asking.

But could you accept it as "some non-sensical crap you've heard rumors about but haven't experienced first hand, and in any case, shouldn't deter us from focusing on fighting the war"? You know, just for the sake of consensus?

We can't just pick up the storyline where Rare left off, for two reasons: 1) we have no story-telling DEV that has the tools to implement the story in a real and tangible way 2) the in-game artifacts left by the end of chapter 14 (gold hal...
