   Okay, I realize this will probably interest only two of you out there, but the Unclean now have text in their Details.  It's nice to finally see some background on those characters.  I checked the Ethereals and the Spinnerettes real quick to see if they had anything in their Details, but they're still blank.  The Unclean probably have text in their Details now because they were related to the recent update.

   Oh, and I like the Details for the Headless, which say that they are rumored to be "simple script routines in an early test version of the simulation".  It's a nice beta reference.  I remember the headless clients.  They were used during a beta stress test.  But unlike the NPCs we see now, they actual had heads (if I remember correctly, the term "headless" referred to the fact that there were no players controlling them, just scripts).  They just ran around randomly and used emotes every so often.  I seem to recall that they were naked too. ^^;;;

I remember those, they were awesome. How they just ran around the city.

What do the details say? I just logged off. (I mean the Unclean)

   "Haunting the lowest holes of the Richland Slums, the Unclean are looked down upon--both literally and figuratively--by the other Exiles in the Matrix.  It is said that they were once disease-spreading programs used by the Machines in a previous version of the Matrix."

   Their leader, Zero, also has his own Details.

   "Zero, leader of the Unclean band of Exiles, somehow manages to be in multiple places at once in the deepest sewers of Richland; this may be a side effect of his previous role, said to be that of a disease-replicating routine in a previous version of the Matrix."

Everyone were naked during beta...
Back then the hardlines ate your clothes.

Ahhhhhhhhh.. the good old days.
Not a day goes by where I don't think back and ponder how things could have turned out had I not missed the end of beta event.

Hee, great stuff! I hope they add background notes for the rest of the hideout spawn, though I'll admit, it was fun to make up stuff about the hideout goons. I'm curious about the Spinnerettes in the White Lotus Hotel basement, since they might be featuring in an up-coming story arc of my RP.

I love the early beta screenshots.  They remind me of the Ubisoft forums SMILEY  I always wished I would have captured those forums from when MxO was in a conceptual and organizational stage.  The ideas from the seminal community were very stream-of-consciousness and very rooted in the Matrix trilogy and related properties. 

I vote for a new thread "Rarebits beta screenshot of the month!" er... quarter?  Please keep them coming when appropriate Rarebit, it's like looking at Da Vinci sketches of gliders and parachutes.

Hey Othinn1 just pointing out that I was insanely happy that the Unclean now have details panels, especially as it confirmed my theory of them being connected to diseases (ok the name Unclean makes it kinda obvious but it's always nice to have confirmation!) I really love having this bit of extra detail on this gang and I hope they fill in the Coven as well so we have a full details on all the Richland gangs.

Anyway, guess that makes three of us
