I think we all just got pwn3d 

at the end....

Well it won't be Tuesday AM I don't think cause SOE will still be afk from the 3 day weekend.  So, my guess is Weds AM or Thurs AM just to keep it in line with the Thursday server shutdown schedule. 

it could be tommorw they already have server downtime planed they may have something to let the patch roll out after the server downtime.

Downtime is only 30 minutes. I doubt they'll update the game. So we'll have to wait till thursday.

A mysterious stranger has been reported on the rooftop of the Government Building in Park East

I wonder if this might be different based on who won/lost the "random" pvp battles for Rarebits last event.

I hope not. :\

Or perhaps it's that Mr. Seethroughhead who was in the background of the white area k IR and and who was seen in the Dev screenshot thread a while back. The one wearing the Voids and the suit?

I take it the patch did not come out today?

Any chance of an update on what's going on, Virrago?

Still Waiting

At last.

Consider the implications of removing places for companies to advertise in MXO.

Well... at least we know they can put them back if for some reason we get advertisements again.  If/when that ever happens, I'm happy without the signs messing up my screen shots.

No income from ad signs = less budget for content and storyline dev.. oh wait..

They never worked anyways so its better off.

We had in-game ads at one point, but I haven't seen them in a good while. Waste of space.

Aaauuurghh.

I remember seeing commercials for ampm (a convenience store) on certain billboards, and they even had audio, but that was a long time ago.  Also, they were on a constant loop, which got really annoying really quickly.  It got to the point where, as soon as I heard that commercial, I would immediately move to another area.  I always wondered how effective those commercials really were, and how much money ampm had to pay for MxO to run them...

Patched and ready to go within one hour of the beginning of the downtime. I guess it's just QA checks on each server now..

I went.  I saw.  I left.

How... very disappointing.

For the benefit of those of us slaving away at work I take it the update wasn't everything people were hoping for?

Well depends if you like some recolored 22pt resistance clothing that looks surprisingly reminiscient of holiday gear. And the white area k looks more cream colored. I must admit the black headgear looks nice though. Nothing surprising though.

I think someone posted a spoiler in one of the other forums with pics.

Depends on what you were hoping for, if you hyped it up and were expecting all your wishes to come true then probably not

I just focused on what Rare said; "Little surprises" and i'm quite happy with the things we got.

Underwhelmed again, but sadly that's what most have us have come to expect from Matrix patches. White area K, black headgear, and some coloured 22 vestments which are useless to me for pvp. Same old.

Yeah, I know. Although as much as I'd like to see Phracks post and as much as I love reading Darm's joy joy posts the fact that the system here blocks most picture hosting sites and the pictures themselves I can't actually see what they've posted. So I'll have to wait a couple of hours.

Didn't think the items would be up to much though. I wasn't expecting anything ground breaking.

That's not even a surprise. Word was already out but it was just a small thing. I really have nothing to say but same crap, different day.....

Heh dont worry Croe your not missing much.

Where's my Meatwad Luggable and CR1 Luggable????

Still see ad space for rent signs, too
