I'm catching up on the story in the mission archives after being away for a while. I've been reading the threads about players taking over the story from here. I've never really participated in the RP world, so I'm kind of a noob in that a...
Wow, Rarebit, I didn't see that coming. Thanks for everything you have done for the game and the community. I've been meaning to jack back in and check out all the new stuff you added, especially in the past year. Maybe I'll go ahead and d...
It's looking good. Here are my speculations: This will be a free-for-all PvP area. You can gank enemies and friendlies alike. You will enter the construct through your normal archivist with a book, or as someone else suggested, through the...
It's looking great. I don't see this being a construct, at least not like any construct we've seen before. It's too much work for a place hardly anyone will visit. Besides, it looks like the rest of the city instead of some other-worldly p...

Site Update: 10/4/2007 It's been a long time ... again. What can I say? I'm a busy guy. The latest cinematic for Chapter 8.3 interested me enough to catch up on the story, so here we go... * Divided Chapter 7 into separate pages for each s...

Hey everyone, Sorry that my hosting troubles affected others, though I'm glad to see there's still interest in the tool. I've acquired my own hosting, so the site should stay up now, including MxO Config. Enjoy! http://mxo.mxostory.com/mxo...

Site Update: 7/4/2007 The site is back online and should stay online! Thanks to Turbo and TheX.fm for hosting the site for as long as they did. That was a good site, and I hated to see it go. There were a lot of broken links as a result of...

MxoStory.com is up and running again, and it should stay up. Thanks to Turbo and TheX.fm for hosting the site as long as they did. There are some broken links, but I'll get them fixed in the next update. www.mxostory.com
Hmmm... I'll have to find out the latest. In the meantime, the site is currently up and running. Here's an update: Site Update: 4/24/2007 Chapter 7: The Real : Added screenshots, latest links, and a new section for Chapter 7.2. Added scree...

Walrus: Thanks for everything you've done for the game and the community thus far, and best wishes on your new position. I would say this is the beginning of the end, but seeing how SOE just invested in a year's worth of voice-overs, I don...
Hey Teacch, I still got the tag, but was thinking I might have to switch pretty soon. Maybe not, eh? I saw whiterain tonight and she's sporting the tag again. It would be nice to run with a group again.
Good idea. At one point, I think they talked about adding 20 slots to the code archive for org. abilities, but I guess that isn't going to happen. For now, I have all abils except the Data Miner tree. It ain't worth the space it takes in t...
Site Update: 3/24/2007 Chapter 7: The Real : Added latest links and a new section for the Second Anniversary. Chapter 6.3: Added latest links. Cheat Codes: Added The Sentinel 9-27-2006. Thanks TekMon!
This one's been stated before. Once you reach max XP, I think XP should automatically be converted to $Info. It would make me feel like I'm getting full credit for things I do in the game at level 50. You could use the org rep as a % multi...

Site Update: 3/8/2007 The site was down again for a bit. DNS problems, but I think I've got that worked out. Hopefully, it will stay up for a while now. Added latest links to Chapter 6.3 page. Created a new page for Chapter 7: The Real . A...
I've been critical of the new cinematic style. While I would still prefer full color, this is a definite improvement. The artwork is more detailed, the animation feels more "cinematic" than the others, and hey, that chick looks hot . The v...

This isn't an original idea, but it would be nice if MxO had a "Looking for Team" chat channel to make it easier to team up with other people in your org. My faction is small these days, so finding help for Pandora's Box or Area K isn't ea...

Site Update: 2/5/2007 The site has been down for a few days, but it's up and running now. Thanks Turbo! Added links to Chapter 6.2 page. Created a new page for Chapter 6.3 . Added RSI Pills to the Game Developments page.

9mmfu answered my question. Here's info on the real gun . Rocawear and UnderArmour paid MxO to put their stuff in game. I wonder if politics allows gun makers to sponsor video games these days.

FWIW, I think you can paste text into an email from outside the game, and you can also send to multiple recipients. I usually send myself a copy of a mass email, so I can forward it again later if I want. Not as good as an API, I know, but...
I think the critical mission archive was a really good idea and allows new players to experience the story. However, the missions don't give you the whole picture. Live Events were an integral part of the story, especially in the early day...
