#12300000075 08/17/2005 14:07:00 Why no Matrix banner on Station.com?
It may seem like a little thing, but Monolith is passing us off to Sony, and I want to feel like I'm in good hands. If they don't care enough about us to even put "The Matrix: Online" on their front page with all their other good games, are they going to care enough to fix our problems and further our story?


I know it's not really a reason to be alarmed or upset, but you can see where my concern comes from.

yeah man.. I hope atleast they post some new news or something...

SOE seems to be a little unorganized atm.  I mean transitions are tough, but with such a huge budget you'd think things would go a little more professionally:smileyindifferent:
#12300000083 08/18/2005 04:05:13 Re: Why no Matrix banner on Station.com?
Yeah. i agree with you all. Sony have known for months now they were
taking over the game the least they could have done was have a banner
for it on there site.:smileysad:

#12300000086 08/18/2005 06:06:36 Re: Why no Matrix banner on Station.com?
I've started seeing a couple of places where MXO is listed, and I'm sure they will soon getit added other places once things calm down.

#12300000087 08/18/2005 07:03:48 Re: Why no Matrix banner on Station.com?

Not that I'm kissing anyone's @ss here, but in as in all things i always try to put myself in the position of others (especially if I'm getting something from them...LOL...), and in that i realize how utterly f#cked up this would be if i had my fingers in there...LOL....

 (i still would like to see it on the page tho', you'd think with a world wide staff; and some of the best ppl in the biasness they could, i don't know, mention it beyond the press release that's, how old?)

  I do like the spell check tho', that's cool
#12300000091 08/18/2005 15:02:39 Re: Why no Matrix banner on Station.com?
Theyre too busy with Everquest and.......Everquest to pay any attention to us, i mean we're not as important as the gamers who play Everquest, we dont spend money on this game, we dont expect to get our moneys worth, we dont give a **bleep** that they shove their foot in our door to the Matrix...we dont deserve to have a banner on their page. its ok we dont want a stupid banner, we dont want to be recognized, we'll lay back and take what we're given, we dont have a choice.......:smileysad:
#12300000093 08/18/2005 15:25:39 Re: Why no Matrix banner on Station.com?
This is rather disapointing.. Though hopefully they will pull through on the content they promiced..
#12300000095 08/18/2005 15:39:43 Re: Why no Matrix banner on Station.com?
I'm glad you guys agree with me. Honestly, if they do good things with the game, I couldn't care less about a banner. Until then, though, a banner isn't so much to ask.
#12300000100 08/19/2005 06:21:02 Re: Why no Matrix banner on Station.com?
yeh man.. I hope they get this message.... what really
drives me mad is that there are no site updates imho they should update
the news put something like future ingame features or something that
would get us interested + they should publish a Live Event schedule cos
i'm getting real boared now...

It's been broadcast on EQ2 SOE forums, mostly by players to each other.


Just as an FYI, SOE's main webpage is super, super, out of date anyhow.  I wouldn't take it in a bad way that they don't have banners/links up yet.


Hey, all us SOE Station Access users ARE happy to have you on board!  We hope to see you guys in MxO and also in the other games like EQ2, Planetside, and SWG.  All fun games that you can play for cheap!  Cheap Cheap!


#12300000163 08/26/2005 17:51:39 Re: Why no Matrix banner on Station.com?
yeah no kidding i've been wondering why they don't have MxO stuff on there either...

Maybe if they stopped buying out every company in their field of vision they might have time to update their website, or pay attention to the things they buy out for that matter.

Please provide some facts to back up your claim.  Which companies are you talking about, exactly?
#12300000191 09/01/2005 06:23:51 Re: Why no Matrix banner on Station.com?
Their website has been updated with details of PSP games, however still no MxO banner...


I would hope that they we waiting for the latest patch to bring some new content before they start advertising it, and to be honest, I wouldn't be suprised if they offer, for example, a 2-4 week trial period to existing Station Access account holders who don't currently play MxO
#12300000192 09/01/2005 10:24:16 Re: Why no Matrix banner on Station.com?
AGREE

Indeed.


I am sure they will get it all sorted out tough...i mean, they basically just got the game and all. it takes some time i guess...to get organized and all


#12300000200 09/03/2005 03:14:16 Re: Why no Matrix banner on Station.com?

I think that in light of how much has came with the latest patch, i'd much rather SOE focused their attention on continuing to make much-needed improvements for the existing players before channelling all of their efforts into attracting new ones.


One good thing is, that when they do finally start trying to tempt Station Access/SOE gamers over, they will more than likely dangle a little carrot... not sure if that would be some form of event, similair to what they did with the Hunt For Morpheus/Friends And Family trial... but fingers crossed it'll be something that benefits both new players and existing ones alike.


The last thing I'd want to see is something like what they have done with SWG, in that they reward all new players with possibly the best landspeeder in the game... although I do LOVE that as a SWG noob, it'd kinda suck if mxo newbies received some uber-exclusive item while existing players miss out.


#12300000208 09/04/2005 09:45:49 Re: Why no Matrix banner on Station.com?
SOE is just beign a wuss and is using us as guinea pigs. They are afraid to post up that they own MxO and that it is on the Station Access. If MxO fails they will never mention us. If MxO succeeds then they will come to take all the glory and put us on the web site. Have some dignity, balls and pride and put us on the web site. lol No offense it is just obsered.

there's a small banner at the top that mentions it now, but when you click it, it takes you to some everquest site about what i'm assuming is the latest retail everquest expansion. looks like they're thinking about it, though, at least.

Heh yea you're right. Well, it's a start (even if the path IS wrong.:smileytongue: )

looks like that banner is gone, now, though. as it's been replaced with one from that retail everquest expansion, i'm assuming having one for the matrix there was a mistake in the first place.

Would you put an incomplete game on your front page?
#12300000240 09/10/2005 15:41:19 Re: Why no Matrix banner on Station.com?
Any game with an indefinate ending and frequent updates is "incomplete". So yes, I would.
#12300000241 09/10/2005 17:01:16 Re: Why no Matrix banner on Station.com?
There has been a Matrix banner at the TOP of the Station Access listing for a few days now.  Still there, I just checked.  http://www.station.sony.com/stationaccess/


Maybe that other banner was just part of a typical rotating banner scheme.


And maybe we'll see more mention of MxO after they get things more integrated.  For instance, maybe after we can finally see our MxO account on the Station My Accounts page.


Cheers,

Martek

That's cool. I hadn't seen that yet.


Well that works for me. :smileytongue: I'll stop complaining now.

As a major SWG player, I heard about SOE taken over Matrix online a while back due to a news section on the main SWG site, plus when you sign on the station.com site and click the drop down of games matrix online was there.  Give them some time as they only took over a few weeks ago, once they covered certain areas big changes will come.
