gone tomorrow?
EDIT: hehe had to get the first post in.
Anyway, great summary, loved the pics. Also great to hear again that the Downtown lag will be gone, because I know this annoyed many players. I am not high enough level to have ever experienced it, but it sounds like a pain in the *CENSORED*.

Hey, I hate to dispute you, but the player videos didn't apear on the blue sky screens untill way after the sleepwalkers were gone - a month or two, after.
But forget the itty bitty details! Congrats on two years! With smith returning, and the end of downtown lag, year 3 will be off to a great start!

nice cant wait to check out new events
I can't believe it has been two years. Two down, n to go.
I've had complaints, but I am still here, so well done MxO team. And thanks.
Nice 
That looking glass made me smile.
Looking forward to the years to come!
So, where do we go from here? I wonder what will be next.
It has been a good 2 years playing MxO, Its been a blast playing with every one from Proxy and Syntax and Its been great watching MxO grow through out the two years.
Happy Anniversary, MxO!!!!
Good work Devs.. keep this game goin and keep doing what you do!

Hazaa!
I've been with this game since late Beta, and I've seen so much happen. Although there have certainly been bad times, I'd say overall, I'm glad I could have been apart of this unique and certainly entertaining roller coaster ride. =P
P.S If you're talking about MxO's history, surely you can't forget The Matrix Online... before the game!

havent even been here a year yet ( but im close! ) great run MxO, I'll be around for a long time to come...
The picture of the Assassin's mask just reminds me of the faces we've seen that are gone, and too good to come back.

Good glass. It's nice to read of all that happened.
I miss the old white website, witht the Flash banner. That thing totally beats the new website.

It's been a interesting 2 years in the life cycle of this game for many of us. Great to look back at what has been and past and now looking forward to what might be in store further down the line.
Ah. That article brought a smile to my face. Nice Looking Glass. Nice looking Glass indeed.
We've had highs, and we've had lows, but to quote an auspicious, disputed man, 'But after [2 years 
] I remember that which matters most. We are still here!'
And long may I continue to be so.
Mmmm.. anniversary... juicy.
Time to bust out the old sigs!
God.. why oh why can't we go back to that original white? It was the sexiest layout we've ever had... 
ah momorys.....
That may just have given me a brand spanking new vigour. Nostalgia is a powerful tool in renewing one's faith in something, well done for hitting us with the days of old. As a couple of others has said, it brought a smile to my face.
It reminds us that we are indeed a part of a whole, a community. I've just realised how mushy this post has become so let me end it by reiterating that I hate you all.
well done..Farewell to lag!!!
PS:The memories *sigh*

Yeah I still can't believe its been so long. Good times, guys.

Yea, we liked that a lot, so much so you should get yourself registered on FH boards and see it.
Yes Garu, time flies.
Happy Birthday MxO!!!!

Awesome! I was worried you wern't gonna write a special article for a minute there =P
But yeah, happy anniversary all! Heres hoping for many, many more to come!
Oh and wheres that white female hair style now?! Looks teh sweet.
I wasn't here for the start (Even tho' I tried a trial but I had a 56k modem.... not good) and seeing this looking glass has showed me all the things I've missed. It's a shame that I didn't see them first hand but I am here now, and here to stay, so I will hopefully see the evolution of MxO, first hand, for a long time.....

Yeah, I know. They removed the hairstyle I liked best for female character's, too. I even have old pics of one of my characters with it. <sigh>
Meeemoriiiiess....
o.O That would have been a cool hairstyle... Bah they shouldn't have gotten rid of it!
I remember that old Siren petition sig! And the old website (Which I still prefer, it's so much cleaner and snazzier.
) But, I get my fill of it on the FH boards at least. Yay!

Why did they get rid of it? Was it too buggy or something (clipping into the head)....
Fantastic post, i enjoyed reading that
Good stuff, nice stroll down memory lane.

Hey Walrus, thanks for using one of my screenshots in your special edition :

But I'm wondering where did you find it ? On my website ? Maybe on a Halloween topic somewhere ?

Must they take all the cool stuff away from us? Hairstyles, clothes, faction and constuct wars, etc....
Oh well. This year we've gotten cooler with org constructs, and RSI pills and such. We can only imagine how cool we will in a year from now.

1. Why was that hair style removed, it would look H-O-T after all these photoshop whizz-kids have had their grubby mits on it.
2. On the 25th will be my 1 year anniversary
3. Happy birthday MxO, you helped me through a hard time and everytime I jack in I have plenty fun, long live MxO!
For this second anniversary, I have written a haiku.
*clears throat*
Green code everywhere
Evil threatens the Matrix
We always prevail

Another sweet hairstyle.
Did you know that there is really only ONE long haired straight hair style (hair style number 6)? Maybe we can get a few more added in...
