Harpalos-mxo

Section 5 - Vogt During the great forum leak of 2006, all our identities got revealed, and everything we could say was now readable. For security reasons, we moved the operations from the SOE forum to something called the Shelter forum. I...

Section 4 - Barakoa The initiative of liaison officers by Rarebit was initially to help communication with the players. Communication from Rarebit to the players wasn't what it was at the end, and if I remember correctly, it was quite diff...

Section 3 - Starting the LESIG In the second half of 2005, Aether (I think) hinted about the project to build a team of people who would help the LET to create their events. From what I remembered, they wanted the feedback of players on pa...

And yes, Rarebit would be pretty much late all the time! How many times I've felt bad having all the Machinists waiting with me and the other LOs for an hour... Hopefully, people knew it wasn't our fault and they were tolerant!

Biggest news for me so far is the relaunch of Tales of Monkey Island by Telltale Games, who did the amazing Sam & Max. That's just great, and I'm wondering if we can ever see a follow-up to Full Throttle or Day of the Tentacle!

Section 1: Who I am + Starting MxO My name's Eric and I come from Québec, Canada. French is my first language, but I started very early to get immersed in English thanks to BASIC programming books for my VIC-20, and NES games. I do conside...

Greetings all! Like I said in the LESIGS thread, the overwhelming number of good words I got was so stagerring that I decided to resubscribe for the last days of MxO. My pause from the game finally lasted only 2 months, but there wasn't a...

Like some other returning users here, I have many features which are currently blocked. Could I have them restored? Thanks a lot

Finished the game 3 times on PS3 (all trophies), ultra good, ultra evil and neutral. Alas, there is no additional content on the PS3 version, so no DLC or GECK Some great moments (spoilers abound) ... Going at places I saw when I visited D...

Yeah it's pretty cool! And a very nice price for what it brings also! I think that they are sure to get a hit if they keep up with quality packs like these! Oh and about Fallout 3, I really hate that they won't release that one on the PS3....

LBP is clearly my game of the year. Games, just like every other art form, tend to become formulaic in order to cater to the unwashed masses. Put a guy in a metal suit and make him fly and fight in a movie, people will throw their money at...

Personally, I know that I have some opinions that are wrong. It's simply because opinions are fueled by personal values, which depend on a lot of factors, whether cultural, social, emotional or just what I lived in my life. I consider myse...

Go Montréal! Whatever happens today, we face Boston. They'd better get ready!

Welcome back DeBarlo. You are still one of the players I respect the most of all those I met in MxO. Don't hesitate to contact me back.

Happy 3 years! I might not play as much as before, but MxO is still the greatest RPG I know of! Oh, and Linenoise might not have been the party server, but its politics and shadow plays surely was worth much more, in my opinion!

Night Owl is maybe too muscular... I hope they are not dumbing that down for a teen audience! But otherwise, I'd say that the casting is good, in particular Comedian!

He's the guy that created Dungeons & Dragons. Without him, we wouldn't be there today. See you Gary! Thanks for inventing RPGs as we now know them!

Tough to say you are late: this came online just today! I strongly recommend people to try it! At 5$ (or 10 if you're like me and you still rely on CDs), this is quite an amazing deal for the quality material that you get!

It never made sense anyway. Next MxO canon weirdness to clarify: the Matrix is only Megacity and everywhere else on the planet is a big blur.

This is a game I've been following since its announcement. I'm a huge Wasteland/Fallout 1-2-tactics fan and despite my fears like a lot of hardcore fans about Bethesda's take on the legendary franchise, I have to give them the chance to re...

I think it depends on how orthodox each Matrix fan is. My favourite example would be the Lord of the Rings. Basically, some fans consider only the books written and finished by Tolkien to be canon, then excluding The Silmarillion . Why? Be...

If you had asked me a year ago, I would have said until the end. But with retrospect, I have figured that there was a clear milestone that would sound the end of my MxO years. I will leave when Rarebit will leave.

Eisbrecher - Phosphor

The ship that was behind them stopped pursuing them. These last seconds might have been the most terrifying in Harpalos' life. La Crypte was a small ship where all the weapons systems had been replaced for some fancy communication stuff. B...

Once Harpalos entered the ship, he ran to the ship's control room and started the engines. Ballak surely didn't came here on foot. His ship had to be somewhere. And he'd rather not fall into a trap. While the energy started flowing in all...

"Heille! Ca faire là? Câlisse, prend moi pas pour un cave." Harpalos was boiling in rage. The man had the arrogance to call Caillech "his girl", to offer him water which was probably his own recycled urine and worst than all, he insulted h...

"What the hell is going on!" Harpalos was behind cover. The man that tried to ambush them surely didn't expect to see Caillech react that quickly. Anyway, both had managed to reach for their rifles. Caillech was in the open, looking toward...

Moving silently closer to the origin of the signal, Harpalos was cautious to not gather too much attention. It was a time of war after all and that radio system was not in the most convenient of all places. He was not in a hurry however. H...

"Bon... Qu'est-ce que c'est..." Harpalos just had the notification that he received a communication. It was from ZaneZavin, someone he always trusted and knew as a very curious person, just like him. He hadn't news of him since a long time...
