 This event is going to be player-driven in ways and degrees that haven't been seen in our game before. We're giving you some new tools to play with. I think you'll like them.
I take it if this is a success, such tools will be used more often?


This event is going to be used as a trial for luggables isn't it?

Things we haven't revealed yet: more unique non-clothing items, specific design of eight of the ten T-shirts, exact nature of how the Smith Virus is spread....hmm and maybe one or two other things I'm forgetting.
considering you're possibly going to have a whole bunch of tshirts with words on them, this is potentially the greatest moment in history a dev team  will ever have to have an excuse to put the word "RELAX" on one in big letters.

it'd provide endless fun in screenshots for about, oh god, ten minutes.

i'll pay you in tacos.

I thought she was a blonde, but wasn't the Protector Program - machine protocol dudette who asked advice from the Oracle a hell of a long time ago - in charge of monitoring Gray's Smithiness? And didn't she look an awful lot like that?

Even if it's not the exact match, gee - Machine-based programs in a suit. Very original. SMILEY
#36300194140 03/22/2007 15:20:57 Re:Image Retrieval - March 21, 2007
Aye, Protector Program - she should make a return one of these days. Though i don't she she was specifically for monitoring Gray, that was more Skinners job. She was more general 'drastic threats to the system'.

Yeah, just spell out the plotline for us basically... /sigh.

I barely play 5 hours a week these days, and honestly, what's there to do? Abilities are broken, most all events are uber early for some reason, and the storyline is revealed weeks in advance. Every single new feature, everything that could be remotely described as content is handed out on the forums well in advance to quell player worries that the dev team isn't being productive. That's a valid action and I don't see an easy solution, but at the same time, doesn't reading the plotline for a movie before hand sort of ruin it? I'm not trying to be negative, just throwing my thoughts out there.
in fairness bay the people from EU have had to stay up until all hours of the night to get to events, anywhere from 1 - 4 AM, i think what rare is doin now is just temporary , i recon stuff will be back to the usual lateness after a week or so.. :*(

It's a big (made up) car ad, complete with blinking lights.

Does anybody else think she looks like Evangeline Lilly from Lost? 
#36300194324 03/22/2007 20:56:22 Re:Image Retrieval - March 21, 2007
Cervacius wins! Mmm... Evangeline...

Oh and to clear it up for those who don't read so well:

Attention all operatives in the Matrix. We have been notified that the Oracle has arranged for allied programs to help against the Smith Virus incursion. These "Smith Virologists" will be stationed near the monuments found around the city.

The Oracle is not 'sending' them or 'commanding' them or anything like that.  As an agent (note the small 'a'SMILEY of the system, she asked the Machines to supply what was needed and they did so.

RSI looks sweet with the green flame and all but same exact color on suit?  why cant you change the suit to match colors of what a medical virologist would wear in the lab? 

i am excited about the t3h smith virus anniv event though  ; D

#36300194476 03/23/2007 03:27:38 Re:Image Retrieval - March 21, 2007
The first thing I'm gonna do when the anni event goes off:

Searching for a Smith virus. Defeating one. Thn look for another and let myself transform into one (if that's possible).
#36300195326 03/24/2007 01:59:25 Re:Image Retrieval - March 21, 2007

Aye this will be cool and... yeah she lookslike PaceSMILEY

Im looking forward to this whole Smith Virus thing
