You sir have my full support
Ditto that...though I'm fairly interested in what you propose to do to acheive this goal...
So you're not quitting?
I enthusiastically support this endeavor, provided it is done with maturity and intelligence (which I have no doubt it will, as the MxO community has that in spades).

Indeed, operative!
Redpills, unite!
Thats one of the main things, if we are to acclomplish anything we need to keep a level head about what we do. If we are to go about things the wrong way, SOE will look at us and move on.
And what's at stake? Subscribtions? I mean, do we really have any means to bargain anything?
Seriously, not to be a partypooper, but with the current lack of any clear plans, no response on merge requests, it seems pretty much over.
If only there ws something to fight for/over, but there isnt. We don't even have any real means to do so.

Wait and see what I put together, before you say it's useless, please.
Thanks.
Well, I'm just very cynical these days, you will have to forgive me :p
I may be interested in participating, but I'll have to know a little more. I'm a bit limited in space and time.

My opinion? Let's bombard SOE with red pills, sending them all to one address to get their attention and say "We are still here." It could work provided it's done in an organized manner and with maturity.
Hey, it worked for Jericho fans when they took on CBS...
Just my two cents on the way out the door.

Either red Hot Tamales candy or red Sudafed gelcaps (they make those any more?). The former look eeriely like the in-game red pill item, though the latter look like the movie-version of the red pill.
Hmmm What's the theory behind this?
Sign me up!

I'm a player and I play from 3 months. After only 3 months I have noticed that there is a heart that beats inside this game, and I'd not like that this heart stops it.
Agreed.

I think the red pill idea is utterly brilliant! That would be great if enough of us sent them. just one single one in the letter explaining our views.
Just make sure it's civilised!

Looks like the right color, but they're a little too round, though jelly beans would certain do in a pinch...

Red Jellybeans, yes. Actual red pills, no. We don't want anyone misconstruing this as any form of drug-running 
Either that or we mail a card with a redpill on it saying 'We are still here", with maybe some of the things we're deprived of as gamers: no forseeable updates, etc.

More like ... crawl with me into tomorrow, ill drag you to your grave.
I'm sorry i'm posting on the last few hours of my subscription. If i must, i can try and be usefull so you all don't yell naysayer at me.
If you really really want this to have any sort of impact, drop the heaps of lyrical bull****. People that actually have a say, they don't care about how much the handful of players that is left loves the franchise.
They need clear propositions and ideas wich they can put an estimate subscribtion growth on, and from there on have some profit figures. And the profits gotta be big- its too big of a risk to throw more money and eployees on an old, abandoned project with questionable potential to become big again, rather than, say, put more dev powers into making expansion packs for their beloved EQ, or DCUO.
We need something clear. Sending em mails telling, in essence, this: "Oh hai, were still here, the matricks game you made, you know? Were bored. Do something plz kthx." - aint gonna help. Example? You can begin explaining why and how a continued story is desired but not possible, and propose something that would hold on to the still existing mechanics - orgs, faction functionality, pvp, even rp if you must. Personally, i'd love to see some objectives or territory holding mechanics implemented into pvp, so the players finally have a point to even jack in from day to day. An endless district conquest could make for some fun and drama, faction pvp awards/team cap points could finally bring some point to factions other than having /fc , /cc and the half-functioning faction bank. Things like that, you know?
Let em know if its worth any effort.
I do like the second letter, but I think the first one can be improved. At least, I wouldn't not recommend to insist on us being "fanatics", given the word has some really negative connotations. Plus IMO it better be a little more concrete, as it sounds rather vague to me. We declare an attitude, but we don't define clearer goals in that version.
Well, that's just my feedback.
Hey guys...Something I thought of doing to try to get MxO some exposure...tell me if you think it's no good.
Have as many people that play MxO as possible get on xfire, and even when you're afk, and if you can, at least load the launcher so the processes is running and xfire makes it so you're playing, and try to somehow move MxO up the ranks on xfire. If it moves up a significant amount, maybe some people might notice. :/
I can do the letter thing for what it's worth.
Not sure about the jelly bean thing since the anthrax scare a long while back. If I don't see you guys at the 6 o clock news, I'd give it a shot.

It's really no different than the "Nuts to CBS" protest that was pulled off a little over a year ago, now.
Just replace crates full of nuts with crates full of red jellybeans.
heh just noticed that they put "RED PILL ALLIANCE *We are ready* on their page.

I've done...

For what it's worth, I've had plenty of inspiration.

There's been a lot of sitting there and cussing the darkness, instead of lighting a candle... Phrack, you just kindled a bonfire. Now, it's up to the rest of us to light the signal fires in response... I'm in.
I, for one, am getting sick of these dramatic one liners, but only because so many people keep using them. Can't you just say "Hey, good job, man?"
Edit: Hah.. I pick the weirdest things to complain about...
Well, I have an idea.
I live in a small town but it does have a public college and the next town over has a private college and a private university. So there is at least one PC Gaming business right nearby. It's where you can go and play both online and offline games. (Did you see Lost In Translation, where they showed those gamestores?)
Is there some way The Matrix Online could use these gaming businesses as partners? Anyone know how to go about suggesting that? That's an automatic player base right there nationwide, probably more than all 3 servers together right now. If we get people to try it, they might like it enough to stay.
It's a way to get more people ingame than those of us playing from home or work.
Someone brainy out there figure out a way to get SOE to have MxO as an option in gaming centers....then wouldn't Sony want to invest in the game to keep adding players?

They don't need red jellybeans.
They need suppositories.

That's entirely possible.
What I'd suggest to you, and others, who have ideas like this, is to catalogue them in a .doc file or some other medium, as a complete proposition. There will be an outlet for ideas like this one to be forwarded along.

I was making a reference that very striking image in the second LOTR Movie where the signal fires kindle one by one by one along the mountains in Rohan... Just trying to be creative here, and we know a simple "Hey, good job" isn't my style.
K, as stated on the other thread, I'm down for letter writing.
Mind you, I'm slightly LESS hopeful about it succeeding than I am of there being an MxO-2, but I'll throw for the stamps.
Maybe even the Jelly-beans. I am seriously lmao at these oh-nuts people pitching to us. I know times are rough but... heck, maybe we won't save MxO, but we might keep one candy-distributor from folding, and isn't that an accomplishment in itself?
More technically, I'm sorry, but I'l probably write my own letter.
And we need some numbers... like, how many trials we get, etc. I think there is still a lot of interest in this game, its just that people try it out, and see it dead as a door-nail, and don't stick around. I think we need to pitch them on the fact that if the game gets some love and attention, more of those trial people would stay.
will be interested in the details.
and, hey, do you think if we did like the Jericho peeps, and sent nuts to Zippy, he might get the squirrel's to pull for us? or sick them on SOE headquarters. Ya know, "Fix Mxo, or we'll sick the rodents on ya!" Just a thgt, not a very good one either, nvmd...
Edit: /smackforehead... laughing at myself for having a typo in the sentence where I say I'll send my own letter. Guess I need to make sure I spellcheck it.
