I think the biggest thing we need to let go of is the concept of a dynamic, updating, progressing story. Most other MMO's drop an update or an expansion that provides content that propels the story. And then, until there is another update...
There are a few of us who feel that the game can't support a war. It's just not feasible given the fact that nothing changes, no ground can be won or lost, the real damage happens outside the game (Zion/01) and without the One, the Machine...
I thought we should start to discuss some ideas for a canon explanation of what’s happening in the Matrix now (and forever more, apparently). Is there a war on? Where is [story character X]? Why don’t Agents ever attack us? What happened t...
So... No more story. No more story characters. No story-teller tools. No Agents. No more than the most rudimentary of updates from now on. lol, gf SOE.

Here's my take on this 'storyteller' business. #1 - the official story is finished. Rarebit has posted everything he had written, therefore there is no need to act out what wasn't implemented in-game. Why would you want to continue somethi...

Once again, I have to chime in here. 'Cause, you know, even tho I quit and all, I still put a chunk of change into this game; nearly $700 over the years in subscription alone. Not to mention a few thousand hours, give 'r take a few. I'll s...

Welcome to the Matrix, Operative. Sadly, the game is not as populated as it once was. But, there is also the fact that not many people hang out in the area that the new players start out in. Find the Mara Central hardline. That is where yo...
Yes, and the matrix screen saver is fantastic. This site has easily become my favorite of all the MxO fansites that have sprung up over the years. Outstanding job, Operative.

Stop hanging that albatross around his neck. In time, as he gets better ideas and more practice making them, the 'cinematics' will either become less time-comsuming or more in-depth and enjoyable. I don't care if the LE's are announced or...

Standard definition tv's go at about 720x480 resolution. So you won't get the full 1080p performance. But it will still be the sharpest thing you've ever seen on that tv.
It could have been that; I can certainly see the WB kicking something to the curb that doesn't have "cash cow" written all over it in blood. I can remember at launch time feeling like WB was approaching this MMO business as though MxO was...
This is exactly the reason I'm leaving. There is not one single person involved in this game, player or Dev, that can truly continue the Matrix story. The ip lies squarely with Warner Bros., and they will not budge on it now that it's in S...
I couldn't agree more. I've always known that Rarebit couldn't keep up the punishing pace he had set for himself in maintaining the heart and soul of this game. Seriously, the guy worked non-stop for three years. It's about time he put dow...
Just bought me a Samsung 52" 1080p and a PS3. Now all I have to do is find a copy of the trilogy cheaper than $130 somewhere . . . Ahh, good ol' amazon.com .
My point was, SOE hadn't done it for a single game until we did it (successfully) for MxO without their help. So yeah, I feel a little ripped. You should too. But w/e...
Well, I guess here's another marketing idea that SOE has ripped off from its subscribers. http://www.myspace.com/dcuo Looks as though we are victims of our own success.
Wow, Chuui, never thought I'd see that name active again. Welcome back!! Since you left, many of the niggling little problems this game was experiencing have been smoothed out. A lot of exploits that used to be the norm are now gone. The d...

You know, the more I read about the philosophy of the Matrix movies, the more I think the Wachowski's just got lucky with some kind of cosmic kismet that gave them a great story that just happened to be deeper than a well-digger's butt. Ev...
Didn't we just have this conversation? What do people have against getting together with other players to run a mission? That's the purpose behind this change; bringing the players together. Besides, it's not like you can defeat the missio...

No, but if you created a census questionaire, supplied it to Virrago, and asked him nicely, he could do a mass mailing to subscribed emails. Something like "Hi, the MxO community would like to know..." Then you could get information like "...
