Nevermind. It worked on my -clone version of the launcher, but not my main one.
My main launcher is getting the Patch server error (code -47). But for now, I can get in with my 2nd launcher.

same issue but then i closed my internet explorer as i had it open as well then it booted up just fine. Coincidence prolly. BUT figured id mention it.

I've tried everything thus far, and I've been waiting on Tech support for two days... -.-

Besides the issue I'm having with my main MxO launcher, the update looks pretty good.

you try deleting your main launcher than using the one in your mxo directory file? see if that helps,

Yep, tried that, Gerik recommended the same thing, lol

EDIT: And presto, just like that - I pushed some buttons, and it worked...

**letsrock**

cool update I like it, thankx dev team

**byond**

I am seriously enjoying this new stuff. Not a gruesome farm grind like the lastest boxes. All the new gear can be obtained by a solo player. Good work. HIGH 5!

**exsuscito**

Yes, yes. After all my bellyaching, many thanks are in order for the solo content.

Excelsior.

**Tesma**

personally I love this update, it gives history on the system and it also provides little detial in Agent Pace's backround.

Croesis

As above.

Great job Dev's!

**TonyJaa**

Very good job from the Devs..Well done!No grindfest like The corruptor quest or the Ninja torture.
It was about time!

I love the fact how this new quest is set up like a pandoras box format. Satis is noce and all but gets boring. Grab box go wait forever to teleport then sit and hack. New quest you actually do missions. I love it. *crosses fingers hoping future quests get added in same format*

My excitement about the Svanhild quest, the item she gives to start the misson has two runes on it. The Mannaz rune, rune of the self; and Raido, Rune of a journey, communication, union and reunion.
The Journey of raido is the journey within, so it relates back to the self.
Advice from the Mannaz rune: remain modest, be in the world but not of it (thought that was especially fitting given the nature of the Matrix); remember at all times what is coming to be and passing away, and focus on that which abides. Nothing less than growth is called for from you now. Be content to do your task for the task's sake (given the cost of the dress and shoes with no buffs, I found that amusing). Do not forget how to play and lose yourself in doing the work for it's own sake. That is the secret of experiencing a true present.
Advice from the Raido rune: It is concerned with the attunement of something that has two sides, two elements and with the ultimate reunion that comes at the end of the journey when what is above and what is below are united and of one mind. (hmmm given this LV push to wipe out all redpills makes me wonder if this is a hidden message). Ask what constitues right action instead of relying entirely upon our own power. Be content to wait and while waiting keep removing resistence. (This is about the soul's journey and resistence to our personal spiritual path I think, I'm not trying to interpret that for MXO). Regulate all excesses in your life. Material advantages must NOT weigh heavily on this journey of the self toward the SELF. (This again amuses me given the cost of the new items). Keep cutting away illusions. Stand apart even from like minded others.
I speculate on how these might tie into what is going on with the story. Wright, the biological interface, LV's effort to wipe out all redpills. Could these runes be some hidden message to us?
(Thanks for indulging a reader of runes excursion into interpreting something that may mean nothing. Then again.....it may have meaning. I invite you all to speculate with me.) (Interpretation of runes taken from The Book of Runes, Ralph Blum)

I really love the theme of these new items. When I first got my own Hovercraft (which was way before this content came out so Rarebit must be copying me...haha) I named her The Valkyrie. And My first tattoo was a wristband of Runestones. The Runes are (Algiz)for Protection,(Nauthiz) Constraint,(Berkana) Growth,(Mannaz) Self,(Thurisaz) Gateway and (Uruz) Strength. As a reader of Runes also, I agree with your interpretation . By the time a player reaches that level, they should be competent enough to not need buffed clothing etc. This is definately encouragement for me to level although it will be a long difficult journey indeed.

Thirded! You guys did GREAT this time. And I gotta admit, I love the exclusivity and sheer luxury of the gold dress. The fact that it's unbuffed just makes it that much more decadent. And the white suit, the glasses .. WOOT!

What a fun update! SMILEY

P.S. plain white stockings for next time pls! SMILEY
