Criticals
I still feel the weekly criticals were the best way to provide an ongoing advancing storyline that every single player could partake in. I would very much like to see them back, perhaps more than any other content type that we have lost.

Good question... personally, if restricted to the choices presented, I would have to choose #2. An intelligent balance of both story and achievable content (such as items) would be the best and, as much as I love Live Events it's a known f...

I've been getting the launcher stopping at the Authentication phase... not freezing as I can still close it manually, but just sitting there doing nothing. Then when I can get through the launcher, I'll occasionally get stuck at Loading Ch...
Being on different servers, I can't say I've had much interaction with the chap, but it was a good read anyway. And thanks are much deserved for keeping the HvCFT battles up and running.
Best wishes in your future travels, sir. You've certainly earned the vacation.

Yes, yes, there is no dev, no animator, no support from SOE, etc. So, what ideas do we have for "new" things that could be added with little or no actual work on the development side of things? 1.) Masks We've got a decent variety of masks...

Great shot One of the nicest animations from the basic self defense style.
Based on his responses to the questions from myself and others during the Anniversary party on Friday, Walrus' upcoming letter is going to be short and (not so) sweet. Not news that the game will be shutting down, but basically just confir...
Grissom's last show was a good one... not completely sold on Fishburne being in the cast yet though. Did anyone else catch the blatant bullet time in Grissom's last episode? It was a little silly, but still a cool nod to The Matrix either...
Hmm.. that's actually pretty cool. Good work

Welcome At level 13 you can most certainly get started on the archived critical missions, which will not only let you enjoy the storyline but will also get you some cool gear and/or visual effects. The tickets to start said archive mission...
Gratz. Been a long time coming, this one.
Welcome to The Matrix. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or post them in the Redpill Rescue section of the message board
Absolutely.. even if there is no Ookami mask (yet?)... /cry Assuming we can get a new dev before Halloween (or just have 9mm do it), we can always have new masks made available during Halloween. If that was done, it would be a lot like the...

I don't believe the lack of Vector as an option was intended as a slight to the server, I would guess it was more due to the hostile nature possibly wreaking havoc with a meeting that's supposed to be a friendly get together.
Generally, that sort of thing is discussed in the Residual Self Image section of the message board. That's where you'll find tutorials on how to make them, how to post them, places you can request them from others, etc. Residual Self Image...
Welcome back. Server choice is up to you. Syntax is more populated but Recursion still has it's population of established players and storytellers.

I've got one handy if you're still looking. To what name should I be sending it?
I also have a pair available. I've sent an email with details if you're still looking.

As doubtful as it is, I'm still hoping we'll get more than just the Smith thing again.. again.
I've been doing this on and off for a long time, and it's definitely something worth doing. No matter how many new players are brought into the game by trial keys, Station Launcher trials, etc., these players aren't anywhere near likely to...

If I'm available at the time of the meeting, I certainly try to attend.
I loved it. Like the Dark Knight, it's long, dark and intense (as it should be, just like the graphic novels) so it's not something I'll run out and see again any time soon, but it's a great piece of art that should be seen by anyone remot...
So, for those who have seen it *and no spoilers please* is there anything after the credits?

Welcome back to The Matrix. Not sure what your server and org are, but if you've got any questions feel free to look me up.
Happy Birthday! Anyway, I saw it in the theater, but not before it had already been running for a couple weeks if I recall correctly. Didn't really think I'd enjoy it at all based on the trailers (not sure why though *shrug*) and only saw...

You're certainly welcome to check out The Watchmen . We're not the only Machinist group out there, but we are one of the longer lived groups and are always looking for quality recruits.

Another note about XP and DataMining is that some taps randomly cause spawns of Data Sentries (or other enemies). Defeat the entire spawn and you'll get a reward. Defeat an entire Sentry spawn and you can get (or is it always get?) an XP b...
