Boost EXP & $info Drop Rate

That's actually full of awesome. Thanks guys. Now, just add Zen Master to some loot table drops (in Zero-One!), and why not add Citadel Coder, Trojan Horse, and whatever other abilities that are incomplete and not CR2 friendly. The end is...

You know what I'm going to miss?

I'll miss the excitement from way back, during my first event. I jacked in and found that the Complete Corrupted were attacking. There was something just so awesome about seeing a bunch of us running to the same location and mission in min...

Feedback Wanted: Matrix Online Archives PDF

Hello all, As MxO is coming to an end, I thought that I would throw this out here, here in the General forum. For the past couple of years, I have been working, on-and-off,on a document that is an archive of the stories, locations, and cha...

Was Neo's Body a MacGuffin? And a Few Other Long-Standing Questions

First of all, MacGuffin (found here ) can be described as "a plot device that motivates the characters or advances the story, but the details of which are of little or no importance otherwise." Way back in Chapter 1.2 (and seen in the cine...

Tha Matrix Online Archives - feedback requested

This kind of got buried in the "complete storyline" thread, so I'm starting a new one. Basically, this is something that I started a couple of years ago. I have been compiling a storyline archive of MxO, from resources such as MxOstory.com...

Chapter Introduction Stories (aka Storytime with Rarebit!)

I like it. Rarebit has done "Live Events" posts that don't involve players but rather are parts of the story. Kicking off every chapter with one of these, to replae Cinematics, would be awesome. He can certainly do it already!

Here's what I thought would a good topic: suggest quest content that could be implemented in the game. Example: I suggest giving all of the mob bosses special versions of their drops (like, the Crushers' boss could drop a special Hammer) t...

Hittin 50

I started in beta, have played only one character consistently since launch and finally hit 50 on 12/30/06, so maybe I'm not the best example, but... I leveled up through critical missions and grinding Assassination missions, always on Har...

2 year Anniversary

My opinion is: if it's going to be like the Halloween and Christmas events, and not like the Sleepwalkers last year, then I'd rather see Rarebit's time go to creating more permanent content for the game than the temporary stuff we see duri...

Insight Into The Future

I wonder if these "changes to the universe, past and present" involve the idea Rarebit posted a while back in the "Ask the Dev" thread regarding his theory (after watching the trilogy again) of (IIRC) Neo not really being the Anamoly, but...

Ask the Devs an MXO question v.3

I know we don't have a quest system, but couldn't the email system be used in a sort-of quest system? I've been playing 9Dragons and one thing I like is how you gain new missions as you level up or hit other milestones. Couldn't a system b...

Using In-game Email for Quest-type System

The other good thing about this idea is that it uses functionality that's already in place (email system, mission system) instead of building a whole-new quest system from scratch (which won't happen). Email storage would probably have to...

Using In-game Email for Quest-type System

Well, the quest-type things we've seen in the game (such as Binary Boy or the trail of collectors leading you through Uriah) are basically obtaining a certain amount of items and give them to a collector. So, using the email system, a play...

Ask the Devs an MXO question v.3

How possible would it be to use the models and cityscape from the game in cinematics animated in the manner they are today? This way, the cinematics would at least still be in color and retain a sense of 3D/use of the engine.

Server Population

It's a sad fact that the population isn't as large as it could be. Unless you're at one of the more "popular" hardlline like Mara C or Tabor Park, you're not going to see a ton of activity. Go to Downtown; it's like a ghost town. Now, when...

My sarcastic Enter the Matrix review.

I'm in the minority of people who love this game. Yes, it is flawed (the last two levels in the Real suck, as does the driving), but the fact that it tells a complete story (really, more than a movie length) involving Niobe and Ghost that...

Thanks for the response! Another question: with the new style cinematics, would it have been feasible to use stills of in-game models/backgrounds and manipulate them with Adobe After-Effects (or whatever is used to create the cinematics no...

Hey there. I'm wondering if there are any screenshots of Morpheus' speech with Neo's RSI from an event a few weeks after launch? You know which one I'm talking about. It would be appreciated. Thanks!
