Some time ago, somebody managed to go to SOE (in person) and getting a chat with some sort of executives.

They told them they were "quite happy with MxO on their Station Pass", etc., just in case anyone remembers that.


So maybe instead of posting on DN1, you might want to organize something like that.

Unless you've had to face that decision in real life for something or someone you truly care about, there is zero truth to that. It's been painful for a long time and it's come time to put it down for good.

The fact that it's not economical to the operators of the game and no one who can affect the decision that has been made cares otherwise, it's best to put that argument to rest.

Trust me, the amount of time and effort I have given this game since it opened is a very large amount and while I would love to see this game never die, I don't want to see it like it has become now. I think it's important for us to move on and I'm sure I'll change my mind about that back and forth until the servers go offline, but I strongly believe we all must now move on.

See RL and games are 2 totally diff things, i belive more about euthanasia than life support in RL, where as this is a game. Its us that make the game live. So if charges had been dropped/reduced, more people would be playing this shell of a game, which then would make it more active, meaning less dead. Where as if someone can't breathe by theirself, eat etc, pull the plug.

We made the game, we also killed it. (well Soe did but with the mad exodus of leaving players why would they keep it on.)

See i hate to be that type of give up and let it go kind of person but well theres feck all i can really do ha ha but these last couple of posts have been just 'give up'. Fook that, i'v played the game as though it was gonna close down tomorrow. Now that i know it is gonna close...

   Do any of you know for sure that MxO will be gone forever?  We feel that way because MMOs that have been shut down in the past are currently unplayable.  But who knows?  Someday in the future, advancing technology might make it possible for there to be a service that allows people to play old MMOs.  If this does happen then I don't think it will be anytime soon, probably decades from now.  We can't see the future, so I can't guaranty this, but no one can guaranty that MxO is gone forever.

   If MxO does come back in some way, I know I'll be there.

Don't get our hopes up

I for one will defo be back if it got released / another one comes out but for now, no-more MMO's for me. I know nothing would get me as gripped as this game. Interlock FTMFW

I see no point in suggesting a server transfer all to 1 server, with no future updates and no ongoing storyline, I rather see this game rest in peace than live to not even be a mere shadow of what it once was.

Exactly. If MxO was still being updated and we still had an ongoing storyline and they STILL were going to close it down, THEN we'd have a problem. But with no updates, no storyline (the whole reason why most of us still played until now), and no future, there's no reason for MxO to continue.

        Well reading the news I just looked at I don't think the game will be re-thinked..  there is a new person in charge now should we call him "Butcher" looks like he's cutting out the fat. some ppl that make lots of money seem to only care about themselfs and thier own interests. there is no problem with that as long as it doesn't hurt the customer.  take a look..

It does indeed look good. There are over 50 soon to be ex-MxO players there now and a couple more land each day.

MxO 2 ftw!SMILEY

 

Maybe we are shuting down because someone has brought the licenseSMILEY

 

I agree, in some ways it is better to cut MxO out then live an excistance unbecoming of it.

How many people resubscribed today SoE? Thousands? Tens of thousands?

I don't think the population of MxO ever went into the tens of thousands.
