I know that this isn't the appropriate forum for this type of question, but honestly who cares at this point.

 

I was wondering if I could get a clearer answer to this question (with regards to the following statement):

 

Dear MxO Subscriber,

We want to inform you that on June 1, 2009, Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) will suspend commercial services of THE MATRIX ONLINE (MxO). However, SOE will continue to operate the game service and players will still be able to play MxO through July 31, 2009.

As of June 1, 2009, SOE will no longer offer customer support or provide updates for MxO, and active subscribers with accounts in good standing will not be billed after that date.  MxO subscribers who have prepaid subscription time that extends their subscription period past June 1, 2009 will receive a pro-rated refund for any such pre-paid excess subscription payments*. Such refunds are expected to be issued by October 1, 2009.

 


I know the after June 1, active subscribers will be able to play up until the end of the game on July 31st.  However, I was wondering if this has any bearing on in-active subscribers after June 1?  Will they have to to re-sub by June 1 to be able to play they game between then and the 31st of July?  Or will they be able to re-activate their accounts after the June 1 marker?

The reason that I'm asking in particular is because I have a couple of friends (old MxO vets) who will most definitely want to be around during these last weeks, but they're in the process of moving currently and I'm uncertain if they would be able to re-subscribe before June 1.  If they can't, can they still get in later?  I just want to be 100% certain that they would be able to join up for the final weeks of fun.  I appreciate any insight, thanks in advance!

my guess would be that if you don't sub you old account by midnight tonight forget about it forever.  that would be my guess though.. I just re-subbed a alt of mine  so it still works as of right now..... you might only have 11 hours left. time check: 1:23pm

I also am confused about this. I asked Virrago and he said he would get back to me, but he didn't before the end of business Friday so I went ahead and resubbed one of my 3 accounts. I currently don't have $45 to spend so it's a coin flip as to whether Diced and the crew will be making it back for a finale.

I know exactly what you mean, I truly hope this isn't the case as all hopes of bringing many of my faction back for one final in-game reunion would be dashed considering we only really had 4-days notice between the announcement and June 1 cut off.  It would it practically be a slap in the face.

Slaps in the face?

From Sony?

Some things never seem to change...*sigh*

I would love an answer to this as well.  As I posted in another thread, I sent out a pile of emails about this news but I don't know if it will reach everyone in time, or if they will be able to resub by the 1st.  :/

I'd also like to know if trial accounts will still be offered.  I highly doubt it, of course, but The Watchmen have our 4th anniversary party coming up shortly and it would be nice if some interested in attending could get in just for the party even if they have no intention (or ability) to pay a full sub fee (especially given the rather short deadline).

Hopefully they will still let people sub, but I went ahead and resubbed today to be sure.

Raijiin answered this question when I posted it on the Station forums. Starting June 1 there won't be any subscriptions accepted.

 

If you don't resubscribe or just subscribe by tomorrow, you're done.

I find it absolutely ridiculous that they won't allow you to resubscribe after the 1st of June. If someone wants to throw their money at this dieing game for one last hoorah, they should damm well be able to. It isn't like it takes a lot of man power to keep it open until mid-June or end of June. News sometimes travels slower than you would like, and I don't think they made it clear enough that you couldn't resub after June 1.

Bah.

Well, the credit card used might not work for this, but I heard people were resubbing all day, so Dragonram just tried to sub now and got nothing. Error page.

So, maybe, it's over.

In fairness, though, he didn't exactly shut the door.

I'm trying to get gracewing resubbed, but since she's in the UK and currency is in GBP it's not letting me use my own personal credit card (in USD) pay for it.  She's probably asleep and I can't reach her before midnight PST.

Anyone have a way around this?  I just want her to be here for the end is all.

June 1st = Serious business

They gotta let people come back for the end that didn't get word about it in time! =(  Send Virrago pm's about it too!

 

But, if it's really not possible, and you guys know people that just want a way in, pm me for a trial key.  I do have a phew left.  I can't promist they will work, but it would be worth a shot to try.

This is absurd. One final slap in the face from SOE, giving us four days to resubscribe before they lock us out. Are they that dedicated to ticking us off that they're willing to lose hundreds - possibly thousands - of dollars in people coming back for the last hoorah? I'm struggling to understand the sheer stupidity.
