As far as gameplay goes, there is no actual first-person camera in MxO. The reason is: Interlock. Waaay back in the day (pre-beta), they tried it out. Unfortunately, while in Interlock, the constant flipping and spinning made some people p...
Email is now safe to use: There was an internal issue that prevented headers from showing correctly. All emails sent this morning should now appear in the recipients' inboxes.
The issue with disappearing email has been resolved. All emails that were sent during this period were on the server, so items and $Information sent during this time should still be attached to the emails. It is now safe to use the in-game...

We're aware of the issues players are seeing with email at the moment and are working to resolve them. Please do not use the in-game email system until further notice.
Accessing Email How you access in-game email depends on whether you are jacked in or in the Loading Area. If you're jacked in, click the button on the right of your compass and select Email. From the Loading Area, click the Email icon (env...

Threadjacking, spamming, and flaming on recruiting threads are prohibited. If you have an issue with a faction or crew, deal with them privately, not on the forums.
An exciting new addition is coming to the world of The Matrix Online. As part of Update 38 we will be introducing Massive in-game advertising to The Matrix Online. For long-time community members and those of you who play Planetside , it w...
The "Account in Use" issue that occurred after the restart this morning has been resolved--you should be able to log on at this time. We appreciate your patience.
We're aware of the problems players are having logging on to the game at the moment and are working to resolve the issue. There is no current ETA; we will resolve the problem as quickly as possible. We apologize for the inconvenience.
Why would Flood be a level-50 Data Miner if it wasn't overpowered? No, the "Data Miner Rulez" messages are a joke, as it has no combat value whatsoever. (insert random DM Ability joke here) On the other hand, yes, Flood really is a Data Mi...
Think of a projection screen big enough to show to a large meeting room of people--Not as big as a movie screen, but definitely larger than your average TV.
Due to the need for continued testing, the changes scheduled for Update 37.5 will be rolled forward into Update 38. Update 38 is currently scheduled to release the week beginning Monday, November 21, 2005. We apologize for the delay of thi...
My apologies for not getting this out sooner: There were a few remaining Crew/Faction name conflicts from the server merge that were only caught recently. The system resolved this issue by adding "_temp" to the end of the younger crew/fact...

While new forums may be an event, that doesn't mean you should post messages that aren't appropriate for the forum's purpose.
Any time you can unload an Ability and retain the benefits from having it loaded, it is a bug and an exploit. The severity of the exploit depends on the level of the benefit. If you have information on bugs/exploits, please /bug them from...
This is one of those nefarious issues that seems to creep back in due to other changes made in the system. Using the bug that allows you to equip weapons you don't have the appropriate Ability loaded for is an exploit and will be treated a...
