Oh, come on. NT's last post made for the perfect final comment of this Producer's Letter. 
I'll also be interested what a year from now brings. Unless something drastically reduces numbers, SOE probably reassigns budgets once a year or so, so that could be when we start to see an end to much more.

Humanity dies in the pods, Zion survives for a few months before the loathing for the Machines turns inward to loathing for each other, factions start to battle for control, death, suffering, disease. Zion dies, Earth is a barren lifeless rock in space.... The end.
Fixed...

Fall my moans I always wish the best for MxO but I see the story having less and less significance, being seen and influencing fewer and fewer players.... Live events, these forums and player content are simply not seen by enough players to keep the story in its rightful position, taking away the cinematics removes the attention grabber, the thing that make someone want to get involved (for all the story developments that scream at you you dont matter )
The return of the sentinel is cool of course and perhaps events will scale properly to the player level at last, spend less time reading us stories of places we can never visit and make events in the matrix relevent once more. The player needs to be made to feel there's a point to logging in, we need to feel theres a threat, that we can make a difference and the environment needs to be consistent with the story (or vica versa).
Chadwick wasnt really to blame for the story, what was needed and what is still needed is someone knitting and integrating story and content, someone brave enough to say just because we can do something doesn't mean we should or just because the story could do that doesn't mean it makes sense to do so in this mmo. I believe Rarebit will do something positive in that area with his new level of control, but for many like myself I dont see any way to "believe thats air I'm breathing" ever again. The trend to date has clearly shown damage is easy to cause and difficult to mend.

K, so after 250 responses im sure im beating a dead horse, but....
They were 1-minute Black and White comic book pages with some voice-overs... And yer telling me that SOE doesn't have the resources to continue making them? For crying out loud!
Thats just ridiculous.

LOL. Of COURSE they still have the resources. SOE has the resources to turn MxO into the greatest MMO of all times. The fact of the matter is that, for whatever reason(s), SOE chooses not to allocate any resources to MxO, aside from our 3 staffers and some forum modsK, so after 250 responses im sure im beating a dead horse, but....

Forum Moderators are not SOE Staff, they are volunteer player appointees similar to LESIG.

I was just making sure she knew that the mods were not an SOE resource.

" />Well at least now we know what Halborn was after: Respect.
Perhaps he thought the Oracle was in charge if "Customer Service" at SOE.
I played this game at launch but left before SOE took over because of the extreme bug issues and the like (back then it was like paying to play a beta). Though I love the setting, the players, most of the game mechanics, and more, I've come to believe that this game is actually in far worse shape then it was when I choose to leave the first time, and I am not hearing anything from SOE to suggest that this will change. As you might imagine, this makes continuing my financial support of this MMO a difficult decision rather than the given fact it should be when you consider what a huge Matrix genre fan I am.
