Out of pure curiousity has anyone approched anyone Here at NCSoft?......seeing if they might have an interest?....as you all know my punctuation sux balls and i'm not the greatest with words....So here ya go community go ahead and give it a shot....

As is said it here http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/..._id=36300028619 , NCSoft and maybe Outspark could have the money for the license fee.

The other thing is, we dont know if WBIE is interested to sell the license again.

And : Yes Server Emulation is nearly impossible. You maybe able to bypass the Auth , and maybe you can find out how world packets work, but margin server will not reconnect after login.

MxO has not much lol, but it has the best decryption every seen in an online game

How do we know NCSoft or Outspark won't just do the same thing SOE did?  I love MxO, I do.  However, if all they're going to do is give us a server and that's it, with no new improvement to the game, then honestly I'd rather MxO die.  Unless NCSoft or Outspark promise to give us Devs, to give us the things we need to make this game great, then there's no point in going from one evil to another.

Maybe Cryptic would be intrested altought they are already developing two major titles, I doubt they will have the investment nessary to keep to improve the game maybe they could keep it running and then make a 2.

what about with Atari ? lol

They have make 2 Matrix Games..maybe there are interest too (sure, not the best matrix games, but not really worth at all^^).

Yes, as the producer, it does ultimately land on me when things go wrong for MxO. I won't argue that fact or point fingers in other directions. If I inject a bit of humor at this point, it's because I'm disappointed as well--both in the ending of MxO and in not finding ways to change the direction of the game.

Is there more I could have done? I'm sure there was. Hindsight can bring things into unfortunate and painful clarity at times. So I try to remember all the good things about this game and it's community and hope to learn from past mistakes so I can do better in the future. Too late for MxO, sadly. But not too late for any future projects I'm responsible for.

I wish we could keep at least one server open. The option was looked into, but it wasn't feasible. So we have to retire the game and that makes me immensely sad. I understand the anger completely.

Now we just need Keith01 to log on and say "I blame Walrus" to complete the circle. - walrus

There are three servers, walrus just meant leaving one of them running and merging everyone, which would have been awesome.  A player run server is not possible unless WB and SOE give up the rights and hand over the server binary.

I don't know what SOE's turn around is for their servers but I would imagine they like to keep up to date hardware and MxO's servers aren't getting any younger.  Not cost effective to replace them with the revenue they make from the game.
