MxOStory.com Version 2.0 is launched with an all new layout! Each section will include an RP-style journal entry from SuperJenius The Character. There is much left to do on this front, but at least it's a start.  I'll include some "teaser" tidbits in this thread to whet your appetite. :smileytongue: There is also a new section called "The OOC" which includes out-of-character commentary on events.

I hope you like the new site!  www.mxostory.com

So you made it.  You took the red pill, and before long you got yourself lost in that **bleep** rabbit hole.  Now, you're in serious need of a history lesson, and you want SuperJenius to fill in the blanks.  Fine by me, just remember who's tellin' the stories here.  I call it like I see it, and you'll get no spoonful of sugar from me...

Where do I begin?  Oh yeah, the red pill.  Niobe handed me one on November 18, 2004 (according to my calendar).  She pretended I had a choice, but no one chooses ignorance over answers. I was no different.  I grabbed the capsule of truth without a moment's hesitation...

In the Beginning...

How many redpills can say they survived a restart? I wish I hadn't. My whole body aches. This ain't your everyday hangover, that's for **bleep** sure...

FYI, the alternate URLs for the MxO Archive aren't working, for some reason. I've been busy (and lazy) over the last few days so I haven't told Symmetric yet, but I just realized a lot of your links lead to content hosted on the Archive.

Hopefully, he'll be able to restore the alternate URLs (I also still have another week or so before the original name should be freed up), but if you need to redirect your site to mine until then, you can use the IP address:

Very nice look, and I've always liked your site for the story recaps SMILEY. I was going to say the links to articles didn't work but Stack pointed that out.

My only complaint is that the sound effect in the flash graphic at the top gets annoying because it happens everytime the page changes.

I step outside to find another antidote -- blue skies. Not the stuff of the little girl. No, these are much more vivid. As I stare up, the nostalgia is replaced with feelings of awe and a sense of calm. Surely, I must be dreaming. The Machines would never do this. It wouldn't fit into the Architect's **bleep** equation. At this moment, none of that matters. This is a beauty the likes of which have never been seen in the Matrix nor Zion. It's enough to bring a tear to this man's eye, and I will not look away.

The person recording the video was listening to RFZ (Radio Free Zion).  The DJ reported that the "skies were clearing" right before the meatwad, LOL.  RFZ really did add a lot to the end of beta experience, by the way, with news reports from multiple DJ's around the city.  It was a great time.

Site Update: 6/25/2005

I know. It's been far too long since the last
update, and the site was getting a little stale. I haven't had much
time lately to play the game, much less report on it. You'll be happy
to know that I spent all weekend updating the site SMILEY. There's still
much to do, but hopefully this will satisfy your appetite for a bit:


  • Added Cheat Codes page which follows current events.
  • Updated Veil of Cryptos page with the latest links.
  • Finished journal entries and commentary for The Matrix Online Launch and The Race to Find the One. This takes forever! I hope you like it.
  • Some images, screenshots, and other content are now hosted by thex.fm. Thanks for the space, TxTurbo! Follow the X!
  • A
    copy of the Warner Bros. Data Node One archive is now hosted at
    thex.fm. MxOStory.com links now point to it, and there is a link to the
    entire site on the home page.
  • All pages now feature the original, full-size banners (instead of the small ones I had before) created by the MxO team. Thanks CloudWolf!
  • All cinematic links now point to the official videos on DN1.
  • Updated the Coming Soon page with links to the latest developments on Archival Missions, White Hallways, and Org. Abilities.
  • Put a "Next" link at the bottom of each page, so you don't have to return to the home page between each section.
  • Added a Search (Google) link to the home page for searching this site.
  • Fixed a ton of broken links. The floating feast is always in motion.

Addictions. Everyone's got 'em. A few days away and it's clear that the Machines aren't the only ones that need this place. It feels good to be back home...

The Matrix Online Launch
#11500005006 07/01/2006 09:28:44 Re: MxOStory.com Version 2.0!
Peace. Many pay lip service to it, but Neo died
for it. I'll not forget that soon. Many of my fellow Merovingian
cohorts ridicule him, but I know I wouldn't be sitting here typing if
it wasn't for him. I presume he is dead, of course. There are those
that say Neo is still alive, in one form or another. Wishful thinking,
if you ask me. Peace ain't free and Neo had to pay the price...

The Race to Find the One
#11500005008 07/01/2006 20:48:15 Re: MxOStory.com Version 2.0!
Great stuff there. Really enjoying the journal entries. Looking forward to many more.

Exiles. They're a creepy bunch. Rubbing shoulders with them ain't my
idea of a good time. They're always looking at you like you're their
next meal. Just part of the job, I guess, but I'll never get used to it...

#36300084404 10/29/2006 21:43:04 Re:MxOStory.com Version 2.0!
Faith. Once it's gone, there ain't no getting it back. No one knows this better than Morpheus. The "prophecy" didn't work out like he thought. The powers that be used this faith as a manipulation. That's gotta crush anyone's belief system. Maybe that's why Morpheus is so intent on having Neo's body. It's more than a symbol of sacrifice. It represents Morpheus' last shred of faith, and he won't... he can't let it go...

#36300086288 11/01/2006 09:00:13 Re:MxOStory.com Version 2.0!


   That's interesting.  I knew that Zion sent players to infiltrate the Cypherites, but I honestly didn't know that the Merovingian's organization did the same.  This may be the only place on the net that mentions this, too.  I assume the Machines did the same?

   Maybe people wouldn't feel that the storyline was so Zion-centric if things like this were archived at some point. SMILEY

   I'm not sure if I knew that there was a ninth set of fragments during the Vashuo murder event.  I think I've seen some screenshots of fragments in that location, but I guess it didn't really register.  What did the ninth fragment say?

   And what's that weird expanding code effect over them in your screenshots?

Eh, mostly real life.  Too busy and bored with the game.  I've always expected it to be a temporary break, so I will probably be back soon when things slow down a bit.  Is The Company still around?  After going through a lot of guilds, a lot of the original members are The Company again in WoW.  Funny how things come back around sometimes.

Some details varied on each server, but the traitor was always Toorima.  On Proxy server, the mission briefing tells you (or at least hints) that Toorima's mission was in Gracy Heights.  As you can see on the map, frag RIS was found in Gracy Heights, indicating that RIS was Toorima's cell phone signal.  The second message tells you that the traitor was at the center of all mission locations, which you can see as the cross section on the map.  The frags at this location also said RIS, which told us that Toorima was the traitor.  Make sense?




I found the frags at just the right time to see the code effect.  I don't think many people saw that, so I'm glad I got screen shots.  I figure the devs put that in to help players find them.  The lag around that area helped as well ;o).  I only took a few of the frags so other people could solve the puzzle.  Unfortunately, someone came up after me and cleaned them out.  Considering they only spawned every hour or two, a lot of people didn't get to see them.  I guess it was a competitive thing, but I thought that was a bummer.  They should have spawned a lot more often to give everyone a chance to figure it out.

Site Update: 1/1/2007

    • Added a new page for Chapter 5.3 through 6.2 called Unlimit, which includes live event and other links through the end of the year.
    • Added links to MegaCity Times issues on Cheat Codes and Unlimit pages. Good stuff.
#36300131232 01/01/2007 03:24:50 MxOStory.com Version 2.0!

Just as a little note i'd personally consider 'cheat codes' to end and 'unlimit' to being at 5.2, since thats when the unlimit npcs first starting appearing and when unlimit, as a group, generally started reaking havoc.


On that note i'd also end unlimit at 6.1 since at the start of 6.2 Anome is already dead and unlimit basically all gone. Besides, 6.2 had basically nothing to do with em, cept a little tiny fallout.

Just providing feedback SMILEY

#36300131234 01/01/2007 03:40:25 Re:MxOStory.com Version 2.0!
Hmm, I've noticed that 5.1 to 5.2 are entirely missing, is that right? I don't wanna cavil about, I've just noticed it.
Actually, this lasted four chapters from 5.1 to 6.1, 5.1/5.2 being the first part, 5.3/6.1 the second part.

Don't know how to call it - I'd guess "Unlimit" would be fine, since it's the same terrorist group and the same leader in 5.1, anyway.
#36300131235 01/01/2007 03:49:17 MxOStory.com Version 2.0!

#36300131246 01/01/2007 04:57:40 Re:MxOStory.com Version 2.0!

Yea, I know... but it seems the most fitting title for me.

#36300131298 01/01/2007 09:01:44 Re:MxOStory.com Version 2.0!
Yeah, I had trouble on how to split that up, especially since I haven't played 5.3-6.2 SMILEY.  I just went by Anome's declaration of "Unlimit" in the cinematic.  It'll be a long page, but maybe I'll put 4.3-6.1 on the Cheat Codes page.  I consider it one big story thread anyway.  Thanks for the feedback. SMILEY


#36300131339 01/01/2007 10:45:03 Re:MxOStory.com Version 2.0!
Just in case: if you need any events, like 5.1-5.2 in proper order, you may steal them from here. SMILEY

PS: The cheat codes seem to be a larger plot that (at least overtly) began in 3.3, and probably hasn't played its role yet. But the chapter naming isn't the most improtant thing anyway SMILEY

  • Moved Halloween 2006 to the Chapter 6.2 page to keep it chronological.

   It's nice to see at least a little dialogue from the "Flit Gun Requisition" and "Memento Mori" missions of the other organizations (those, plus the two Blue Sky missions, are not available in the critical mission archive SMILEY ).

  • Journal entries and commentary have been completed for Enigma of Cryptos , Veil of Cryptos , Cheat Codes, and Chapter 6.2 . You know what this means don't you? It means I'm all caught up on past events! I know some of the entries are a bit thin, but I hope you enjoy them just the same. It takes me forever to write them, so thank you for taking the time to read.
Whew! It's been a busy day!  Actually, I posted the last update at 1:00 AM this morning, but that still counts as today, I guess.  Time to take a break.

   Don't worry about it.  I've got the Zion version of those two missions.  Not sure how much SuperJenius has, but even if he doesn't have all of it, I'm sure there's someone out there with the other two versions.
