This is a bad idea, isn't it?
Like, what if SOE actually gave a **bleep** about this game enough to put together a real convention-like event for the community of The Matrix Online? It would go downhill fast, because I could see many people coming to the center with brass knuckles in their pockets. I'd be expecting a fight to break out every couple of seconds as soon as we find out each other's in-game names. So many people would just be so scared that the turnout at the event would suck horribly.
I, for one, would go with a bulletproof vest on.
