we need to get back morpheus. how hard is it to open a door anyways?
#11700000402 04/16/2006 07:02:27 Re: we should make a team and try to learn how to get into blackwood...
What are you saying? Morpheus is being held prisoner by the blackwood gang.
#11700000403 04/16/2006 09:12:02 Re: we should make a team and try to learn how to get into blackwood...

sure, you go after morpheus, I'll get the keymakers key and go to the source and shoot the architect.


When one first finds this game, it is easy to think that you can do anything. But alas, it is not to be. The source, the chateau, the Le Vrai restaurant, the interior of metacortex, the Hotel Lafayette (from the first movie) and the blackwood construct simply do not exist. Otherwise morpheus would have been freed ages ago, and the architect and the merovingian would be long dead (bad for story).

Uh? Morpheus is being held in Blackwood?

Response to Cap0ne(cuz i forgot to put in quotes):


most people who have read the manual thoroughly (like reeeally thoroughly) have seen the bio on the blackwoods stating that they broke out of a Mero construct called "Blackwood". The theory that new players tend to have is that this may be where morpheus is. Of course, if you check out cinematic 1.3, the answer is quite obviously no.


Its sorta like how, when people start out, they think that data miner is cool.

It's not only in the manual but also in the Blackwoods' details.
#11700000411 04/18/2006 03:15:53 Re: we should make a team and try to learn how to get into blackwood...

Still no reason to wildly guess Morpheus is being held captive in Blackwood. 


There are two options as far as I see it.  He's either 1) Dead, or 2) Hiding and scheming.

Ahm u CAN get to all those places. I found the merovingians resturant.
#11700000414 04/18/2006 07:30:44 Re: we should make a team and try to learn how to get into blackwood...
Do you also have the coordinates?
#11700000415 04/18/2006 09:36:06 Re: we should make a team and try to learn how to get into blackwood...
Hmm...the whole situation with the 'Nightfall' event way back, which featured Blackwood was story. You cannot go there because it doesn't actually exist.

Door. Where? Merv's Restaurant, where? Co-ords? Screenshots?!

Of course, we can say what we want but we need something to go on if you honestly want us to believe you.

Lastly, Morpheus in Blackwood? I don't want to know how this conclusion came about.
#11700000416 04/18/2006 11:16:41 Re: we should make a team and try to learn how to get into blackwood...
I don't know about if it's going around on other servers.... but I think Somnus actually started the rumor on Recursion :smileywink:. We were bored, decided to get some amusement from the EPN and give them something to do. We spread it around that the door on top of the Ascension Monument led there and we were trying to get access to kill/capture Morpheus. Kept them busy for a few days keeping us away from the monument.
#11700000419 04/19/2006 03:15:01 Re: we should make a team and try to learn how to get into blackwood...
Well...it seems you started something that's caught on across the servers...and that makes me laugh.
#11700000421 04/19/2006 04:13:35 Re: we should make a team and try to learn how to get into blackwood...
Yea, some people will believe anything.
#36300003825 07/21/2006 16:51:26 Re:we should make a team and try to learn how to get into blackwood...

base it on the Niobe incident she got shot and is now inside a construct.

Perhaps morpheus is in one to

#36300003883 07/21/2006 18:26:57 Re:we should make a team and try to learn how to get into blackwood...
if only running in and getting morpheus we would also have niobe back to if it were that simple
#36300011644 07/31/2006 06:44:05 Re:we should make a team and try to learn how to get into blackwood...

it's like the white hallways, just because you can't get in doesn't mean it ain't there. It is there because it's been talked about for ages in the looking glass articles, it might be the same for the restaurant, but they hadn't been implemented at the start the code for em might be in the game files itself but just not being used for some reason

LOL.  You can check out Blackwood Prison, which is below the Merovingian's Chateau, in Enter the Matrix.  BTW what happened to all those guys who had their eyes gouged out?

 Morpheus is not coming back because Lawrence Fishburne is not contracted to do any more work with them and I doubt SOE is going to spend the money to hire a recording studio for his voicework.

#36300022772 08/12/2006 09:30:43 Re:we should make a team and try to learn how to get into blackwood...
As far as I know, we haven't seen the last of Laurence Fishburne yet. They supposedly have more material of him, even if only meant for flashbacks. But, if it can be used for flashbacks, it can also be used for present events, right?
Besides, how exactly do you know that Laurence Fishburne isn't contracted anymore? Because if Morpheus' death was a fake, he will pop up some time later, and no one else would go play him than Fishburne.
#36300023612 08/13/2006 17:15:48 Re:we should make a team and try to learn how to get into blackwood...
why would morphous be in blackwood he was ordered to be assasinated not captured... plus if people just wanted to find blackwood or if it existed theres very few who would be willing or able now on risk of getting banned


#36300025005 08/15/2006 10:44:05 we should make a team and try to learn how to get into blackwood...
lawl, "banned" for trying to access a construct that doesnt exist.

Allegedly, Morpheus was being help in Blackwood Prison, the Merovingian held him there. This came from a few source, of which may or may not be reliable. There are clues and leads out there, you just have to find them, those are truly devoted to finding Morpheus and his cause should seek out the "Brothers of the night". - contact narrakan or myself, Xpedite in the matrix or Via a PM here.

   He WILL return, and we will be there for him.

Believe me when I say that there's good reason to believe that Morpheus may be alive, and may be currently held in Blackwood. I'm a Beta player, who's been here pretty much non-stop from the beginning, and as much as I know, I'm learning more constantly.

To believe that you know exactly what's happening in this game at all times, and to be close-minded to other possiblities is to be a very egotistical and arrogant person. And to those who continue to scream "Nuh uh! You saw the cinematic! He's dead!" You've obviously forgotten that this is the Matrix we're speaking of. Nothing is ever what it seems.

morpheus is dead
#36300217741 04/18/2007 19:45:27 Re:we should make a team and try to learn how to get into blackwood...
Has no one realised that even if you got into Blackwood (which you won't), that there's VERY likely something much, much worse than anything we've ever seen locked away in its depths?
#36300254638 06/06/2007 20:28:44 Re:we should make a team and try to learn how to get into blackwood...

You can, in fact, visit the Chateau if you have the funds (100 million info--yikes). The key is for sale by the Merovingian Archivist Vendor in the bookstore in Appolyon. I am currently trying to raise the funds myself (and have only gotten to 20 million so far *sigh*).

But it's out there.

I also remember having seen an entry for the Merovingian's restaurant on that fold up map that comes with the game. I'll have to take a look around for it and see if I can at least nail down what part of the city it's in.

#36300254643 06/06/2007 20:41:42 Re:we should make a team and try to learn how to get into blackwood...
This thread started back before Org Areas were accessible.

Even then, the closest thing you can get to Blackwood is Vanil's nifty *cough* Matrix rip-off *cough* RP story arc about his escape from there.

A Merv Construct that looks like the Chateau exists.

There's dialogue for Blackwood in the packmaps, but like so many other dialogue listings, it exists simply to reference a feature that never made it ingame, like Oracle saying "I'll follow you, We've arrived, Wait There," etc.

Yeah and a couple of Merovingian soundbites saying stuff like, "I'll have you thrown into the Blackwoods for this!"
#36300311532 08/27/2007 00:22:05 Re:we should make a team and try to learn how to get into blackwood...

Why even call it "Blackwood" anyway? The Merovingian likes cake so why not take the obsession (or maybe more appropriately- the fetish) even further and call his terrible Dungeon of Doom... "Black Forest"?

Just saying.

Blackwood puts me in mind of black thorn, a now sadly extinct plant with black bark and very thick, formidable thorns that used to grow in Ireland and was used to make equally formidable walking sticks.
