I seriously cannot wait for all of this to kick off. If it's an injection of life that the servers need then i'm game, 110% percent.

EDIT:

Lol @ Flood complaining about mess.

**SolidRevolver**

I cant wait to hear more on that project your planning.

And I was one of the Merovingian spies that was spying on Pace SMILEY I love how involved we are in the story.

**Bayamos**

Sounds like a cool project.

In Game Promotions?

We're currently working with our marketing guru to get some in game promotions to run across all servers. The proposal is pretty exciting and would take the help of some of the community at large. The event would be pretty interesting since it's something that it uniquely MxO. I can't really go into further details about it since we'll need to get closer to it going live for all the goodies to be revealed.

Let's just say this is a great, innovative, and uniquely MxO event/promotion.

This sounds like it could be items like Mobius Code. It was obtainable only during that event. So perhaps similar type of things here, then again i might be totoaly wrong..either way it sounds fantastic, cant wait to hear more.

Hmm.

I think I might need to resub now...

This is a lie it gets outsiders exited and like above makes them re-sub. Ooo SOE I like it!

hehe

I'm not gonna resub if I don't know what it is.
But hey, if it means much: I am curious though.

**ZippyTheSquirrel**

Promotions? What?

I don't know what you're saying, but it seems like you're bent on promoting the game... from inside the game?

I think there's a fault in that logic.

**ManicV**

I still think these Looking Glass articles are severely lacking. SMILEY

We don't really need updates on buddy keys. We've been through it before, and the trial periods have always proven to be a success. When are the higher-ups going to start seeing that people want to play this game, and start allocating funds to the project to market it?

We have the term "in-game promotions" to speculate over. You say you can't go into further detail, when in point of fact you really didn't go into any detail at all other than it's "exciting", "innovative", and "uniquely MxO". Seems like kind of a cop-out.

And to sum it all up, we have a summary of the live events that occurred over the last week. Anyone can check the Live Events boards and get the exact same recap with pictures included, or they could just check out the weekly Community Uplink. Are live event recap-recaps just a way of filling up space for the Looking Glass article?

Where's the news about the upcoming Corrupted quest? The latest image retrievals have stirred up a lot of buzz about what could be in store for this, but it's not mentioned at all in Through The Looking Glass. SMILEY

These articles have always been a highly anticipated source of development information every week for the community, and they've always been a great way to end a Friday. These last few articles leave something to be desired.

**Frink**

/yawn.

I think we should at least get some hint on what the event is going to be. Because these weekly editions are basically nothing.

**skyscream**

Thanks for the quick run-down of events Raijinn. With things the way they are for me in the Real lately I don't have time to go through all the live event stuff all the time. I barely have time to Jack-in. hahaha. That overview helps me out a great deal. ;D

Cheers!

If they are going to lie to get more subs, they should have said that they have been given everything by SOE to make an expansion for MxO SMILEY

Eitherway, this does sound very intriuging.

**cloudwolf**

The promotion sounds interesting... as long as it's coupled with some sort of new player intake (another buddy key or the perma trial) then it will be definately be a good idea, especially if it coencides with rare's extension of the newbie trail.

If it's not timed right then it'll just be another wasted opportunity like these current wave of keys are.

As for the article itself, you're our CRM raijinn, Community Relations Manager. Don't be afraid to tackle Community Issues in these articles either, its what they're for. A full public explaination of name changes would've been nice for a start.

**ArchDuke**

From the way Raj put it, it makes me think that the 'in-game promotions' are something along the lines of the Under Armour shirts. Because promoting MxO from inside MxO doesn't seem like it would work.

It'd be wierd trying to RP when you see a billboard with 'Jack In. The Matrix Online' pasted up there. SMILEY

I am very curious about what the promotions are.
