Great news Walrus. Glad to see you folks are taking the holiday stuff into consideration early. Hopefully Christmas will rock too.
Sounds good Walrus!
Looking forward to the Hotfix (I've been carrying all the Merv tickets round for ages now!
) aswell as the plans for Hallowe'en! It was good fun last year, adn let's hope it goes as well this year!

Maybe this year they'll turn the skies red instead of FAR TOO DARK TO SEE ANYTHING.
*nudge nudge wink wink BRIBE BRIBE*
YES! "The Phluffabus" will be ready for Halloween again this year!!! 
THANK YOU!
(oh, keep it dark like last year) 
Nice update Walrus.
It's good to see you understand our greivances on the ad competition situation. I still think, however, it's a tad too little, a tad too late, and it's an issue i'm extremely aggrivated by the whole situation. The prospect of more, less xenophobic competitions in the future is a prospect I look forward to, but i'm still annoyed that a multi national corporation can't pull their finger out and mail to different parts of the world...

I liked the Perpetual Darkness, that was great. As for the other guy implying that he didn't like it, maybe have a bloody, crimson sunset, that would be great. Oh, wait, that kind of defeats the green tint in The Matrix....hmmmm.
Good to know that you understand about the annoyance of quite a few players. I am also pleased to know the team will be cleaning up those nasty little bugs next week.
Good deal.
Good deal.
For those who want a dark night:
Turn on the green filter in the in-game options then adjust it with the following lines in Useropts.cfg:
#Changing green filter
ScreenFilters_GreenShift_Color_1_R = 0
ScreenFilters_GreenShift_Color_1_G = 0
ScreenFilters_GreenShift_Color_1_B = 0
ScreenFilters_GreenShift_Color_0_R = 0
ScreenFilters_GreenShift_Color_0_G = 0
ScreenFilters_GreenShift_Color_0_B = 1
The filter will no longer be green - won't really do anything in daytime, but will put a blue tint on nights which results in them being far far darker than the default non-green filter nights. And yes, it's a little too dark with that setting - perfect.

Yeah, but then it wouldn't really be all that much special during Halloween now would it?
Dude, people don't just want dark skies for Halloween =D Besides, if Rarebit's hinting is anything to go by... The sky is most likely going to red this year...
Ohhh. Red skies for the days and blackness for the nights.
Anyway for the Billoard conetest, I'd would have thought that having your billboards in game would be good prize enough.

Great to hear.... even if I didn't keep all of my masks from last year (just my faves). I also hope that the Halloween "event" is set to last a couple weeks this year... it's such a pleasant change overall that it was such a shame when it ended last year. 
Yeah or at least run it for seven days. I can't wait to put my Nightmare mask back on. I miss those guys. Why can't level 50s have Nightmares in their missions? =(

For the Love of God, Let Ookami and Malphas make their move During Halloween! They're destined to break away from the Merv. In fact they hate the guy. Now is the time to do it! And just maybe... We can get a taste if not relive one of the greatest events ever put on By The Matrix Online. If even we Don't have an LET anymore...
Thanks for the update and Welcome back.
Looking forward to what is in store.
Also the bug is a "Escape and Evasion" bug, rather than sneak.
Actually, it's "Concealment Grant" bug. It only happens (at least so I've found after hours of testing) when you change from E&E to CG, then fire/move or otherwise disable the CG ability.
Then as soon as you jump/hyperjump it puts you back in the sneak pose, and you have to shoot or E&E on/off to get it to stop.
I found though that I can use E&E for hours on end with the bug never occuring, but as soon as I start using CG, that's when it starts happening, straight away, and goes again as soon as I only use E&E!

What did you have to do to get the Halloween masks last year? I'd like to try & get them all this time around.

Well, there are Jack-o-lanterns all over the Megacity that you'll activate and Lupines and such will spawn (according to your lvl). Kill them, and Loot them for masks. Too bad i've deleted them.
Is there a way we can have some sort of extra Memory to save these Singletons somewhere like some sort of Lockable Storage? Pretty Please!?!

Yep, that's how it worked. Kill all of your spawn and you would get a black box locked to you for looting that contained a random mask (including ones you may have already had).
I have no doubt we'll be able to get the masks again as Walrus said they would be turning on all the stuff from last year.
Wonder what the new thing is? Hmmm. Something that'll pwn us all no doubt. lol.
And welcome back to the nuthouse Walrus. Joel is cool and all but we missed ya.
I was so ready to go to the Austin Gaming Conference, then I found out it was gonna cost $400 bucks.
^_^ Can't wait for Halloween!
Good thing I saved my fav mask

Oh they could still loot the spawns and take the info/items, they just couldn't get the masks.
