Just wondering how many of us were around back on the old UBI forums...there have been so many forum changes over the years, I think we finally found some good ones.

Well I kind off was... I "borrowed" a friend's account :smileywink:
I joined the forums about a week before the boards updated and UBI left. 
Good times.
I have been around since the UBI days, I have been around since all the site had was a simple FAQ and like 2 concept art pics.
i have been arround since the matrix revolutions dvd came out on dvd when i found out about mxo
found out about MxO (or TMO back then ) in around april '03...just
before the first website was put up I believe....shortly after I found
my old faction called Shades and Trenchcoats at the time...had about 10
members (only 3 which actually played beta or live)and now I am the one
with the oldest join date...altho that faction died out about 3 months
ago

I heard about MxO for the very first time when it was a little more than rumours, and it was in 2001, maybe even 2000, when they first green-lighted the project I think (but still had to start production)... then I remember the first official announcement, I think it was around E3 2002, and after Reloaded, during E3 2003 we had the first video footage, and an early site was up... I started writing on message boards in the first version of the UBI community site in 2003, the ubi site changed 3 times before it all went to Sega... yeah, I've waited a lot for this game, I dreamt about an MMO set in the Matrix when I first saw the Matrix movie in 1999, I was playing Everquest at the time and I thought that there was no better setting for a persistent world game than this, the Matrix itself IS an MMO! I kinda miss the years of waiting and dreaming, but fortunately I'm enjoying the game even though not everything meets my expectations 100%
I learned of MxO in April of 03 through some mag I read. I joined the old Ubi forums as Bladedw23 back in oct of 2003 before revolutions. In fact the only reason I decided to build my own computer system that I finally put together in April of 04 is because that was supposed to be the original month that MxO was supposed to go Gold. Little did I know it wouldn't be till Nov 04 beta before I finally got to jack in. And though I wish the game would have taken a different direction, all in all I have enjoyed the experience. MxO was my first MMO that I basically finished by lvling out.
I watched the Matrix Rev trailer for MXO and nearly pissed my pants.. I registered with "transmissioner" on 4/20/04, but technically, I registered with "sojourner" on 4/11/04 or so.
good times.
I'm a regular (and now admin/moderator) on the website
www.thelastfreecity.com. This website used to be called... yup you
guessed it www.thematrixonline.com. WB bought the url from the old TLFC
owner for the game, heh.
Anyway, I was on the Ubisoft forums and mainly stayed in the RP section
with some people I knew. We were doing a pretty good story about our
hovercraft the Malachi x-355. In fact, we were talking about things
that later made it into the game in a different form. What now is
called Blackwood (a nightmarish realm where the Merovingian keeps
exiled programs as a collection), we were talking about, except we
called it Zemargad (from the myth surrounding Lilith). Among other
things we had helicopters and Agents jumping out of them to kill... you
guessed it, a lot of werewolves lol. There is the 2nd live event right
there.
Anyway, those days were nice because it was all dreaming. "Wow, I can't
believe we will get to be IN the Matrix and be a part of the story!"
Things may have gotten a bit off course, but I have hope that it will
be set straight.

yah, essentially, most of before-beta or not being in beta was dreaming about how the game was going to be.
I set my hopes a bit too high, but hey.. the game isnt that bad I guess, but not what I expected.
