Lets say that you won the lottery, and you decided to start your own company that will manage and produce MxO. What would you do to improve MxO and everything having to do with MxO?
I would hire more Devs, more to work on the game, but also create an entire other team to work an expansion pack. Why not just make MxO 2.0, because I don't want to divide up the community between MxO 1.0 and 2.0. So I would just use MxO as the base for the expansion. The expansion would fix the bugs that this game still has, but also include stuff like new district. I actually would add the Freeway between Downtown and International, and people could fight on the Freeway (like they did in Reload) and perform mission that has you using the freeway.
I would also get rid of the current Hardline system and actually move them indoor and have them be telephones inside buildings. The only time you would see a phone booth HL is if it's in the subway station.
I would have an Arena, where people could duel, or watch people duel, and there would be more than one. One would be a Dojo, another would be an arena that you see in paint balls competition, and finally one would be completely bare. These Arenas will give those CQ points a purpose. The Arenas will have a ranking system, and the more CQs you have, the higher you are in the system. However if you lose, then you lose CQ points and your ranking goes down.
Update the game engine.
Make Cyphs and EPNs their own org with their own controller. Cypherites and EPNs will still have their Rep points that they earned with either Zion or Machine, it would just transfer over to their respective org.
Melee weapons and new trees for those weapons.
Try to merge all three servers with the Arenas being PvP hot zones, and the Matrix itself being non-PvP. EvE has one major server and its working out great for them.
Finally, I will concentrate on "The Real". No there won't be Hovercraft wars, and you won't be able to fly across the landscape. It's basically going to be an area where you can set up shop, faction housing, your own personal housing etc. Basically it would be like a sandbox kind of deal. Each org will get their own section of "The Real" that will look different. For example, Zion will look like well, Zion. The machines org will look better, kinda of like 01, The Mervs will look like something out of the French monarchs. EPNs and Cyphs will probably have similar characteristic to Zion and Machines. Now here comes the fun part. In your own area you are not flagged. However, when you go to another area, you will be flagged. Since I'm a cyph, if I go to an EPN or even a Zion area, I will be flagged. However if I stay in the Machines or Cyphs area I won't.
Now in The Real, you can either jack into The Matrix either through your faction housing or personal housing. It'll just simply be a chair that you can right click on, and you can either go to Loading Area, or to whatever HL you have tagged in The Matrix. It'll basically be another HL.
Now it's time for your ideas, and money is no object.
