Thing is.  As much as people will try to keep these things under-wraps, it won't take that much longer before everyone knows.  You may well trust key operatives (undoubtedly with good reason) but they can easily pass the information on for dispersal to their crew/faction/friends.  Then it is only a matter of time before the information is public knowledge. 

P.S  And yes, I think its save to say the above is already true.  Work out what I'm saying and you'll know what to do (assuming you want it that is).

I've always thought that the algorithm black idea sounded pretty creative....can anyone give me a background story in a post here or private message?

Thank You..

I've got to say Balthial cos I love the wings.

Trainman isn't done justice in-game.  But that may just be me.

You can't hurt a puppet. 

Hahaha, I'm safe.

EDIT - Darn it.

Holy mother of god! That was awesome.

If I were a Dev for MxO.  I'd quit before the s*** hit the fan.

o_O I barely know anyone who has an overall negative opinion of MxO.

Really?  You must not get out much.

An allotment to grow my own fruit and veg next year. 

That's right folks, I'm getting green-fingered.

Whoa.  That rope belt made me think of other (dirtier) things.

My mind is soo warped.

Which is hilarious considering this whole entire thread is spam and there's even a (PHALLIC PART OF THE MALE HUMAN ANATOMY) on the goblin. Yet the thread and picture still remain.

S'plain?

You all have twisted minds just like me.  Virrago must be untainted by such thoughts.

I remember talking to Customer Service about HJ Beta when I joined back up.  Long story, didn't have old account, yada yada yada.  If memory serves Brewko said (after a little debate) that he would put it to the team and see if something could be done in a few weeks.

Then, what do you know, out came Dr Martin.

I'm not saying I was responsible.  But, if you want someone to blame....I can take the hit.

That was the most fun I've had in what was essentially a full dungeon wipe.

I would like to point out I was the last man standing though.

Level 255 Agents spawn when tapping in Datamine.  No warning, nothing.  And only way to get rid of them is to leave the Mine.  All other spawns can be HJ'd off.

You don't.  Only way to find out is either luck or well placed contacts in-game.

The idea is these are random and feel more like the ol' Lith days.

gonna have to call you on that one. the "ol' lith days" where extreme clicky not random. if you wernt in the circle you pretty much didnt see it apart from the server wide spawn stuff

And some would argue that it is exactly the same now...

I just jacked in to find Vector set as Admin Only.  Interesting...

Will that be after the event drops so you can pretend you were right all along?

I think most of us can agree... the assassin mask is in great demand. The amount of players with this in their inventory can be counted on one hand. A chance to get this item with a chance to get other extremely rare objects/abils would be highly appreciated. Maybe even some new gear that would be something really worth remembering; Neo coat, Morpheus coat, etc. with lvl 50 enhancements that would make the Architect cream himself.

I issue is, once the Assassin Mask becomes obtainable to all, it loses all interest it currently gets.

Sure, I wish there were more around, and not just hoarded by a few.  But I certainly don't want to see the potential of everyone getting one.

God D**it!!

I'm beginning to get a bad bad feeling about all this.

I got the Assassin Mask from Rarebit yesterday at the party on Syntax. So I wonder what the real suprise will be for everyone in the new update...hmm

Hahaha.  I guess you can dream.  Just like everyone else

I'll be long dead and buried before I start becoming bosom buddies with Zion.

If SOE/WB/Wachowski or any combintation therein had was planning on restructuring MxO and it's storyline I think we would have heard something.  Instead we have an eery wall of silence from everyone regarding Rarebit's departure and the future.

As for SOE making money, and will therefore pump in updates.  In the perfect world such a thing would be true.  In reality, they probably see alot of people staying subbed because they have said they will "be here till the end".  Then they just need to keep the server power switch in the "on" position.

SOE/WB or the wachowski bros do not have any obligations to disclose any future plans regarding anything until the time is right.

So right now MxO's future seem very hazy and that might be due to alot of things I pointed out in my original posts.  The MMO business model works in very mysterious ways and my optimisms stay true.

it's not like SOE/WB is pulling a SEGA by dropping support or leaving you all hanging altogether.  I suspect SOE/WB are in the evaluation stages on how to proceed further with MxO. 

MxO has a lot of potential and it's underused right now.

So just keep an open mind until some kind of announcement occurs as to the future of MxO.

 

If I was in charge of MxO I would do a cold hard reboot of MxO and pay for it out my own pocket and rollout a series of large updates over the next 16 months to bring the engine and renderers up to date.   Thats just me.

I can admire such optimism.  You'll be proven wrong, but I admire it.

You can look at it like that.  Or be a pesimist (like myself and many others) so you won't be disappointed.

WB don't care about MxO.  What little money they get from MxO is loose change compared to their other ventures, or what the Matrix films brought in.  They won't complain about the extra cash, but certainly don't see the need to invest in it. 

SOE don't care about MxO.  The game is somewhat a niche to them.  There are so few players, compared to almost all their other MMOs that again we're just loose change.  They've seen their changes cause a mass exodus of players before, why risk doing it again?  So many of us are willing to hang on till the end anyway.

And the Wachowskis certainly don't care about MxO.  The films brought them plenty of cash, they don't worry about the future canonical storyline.  Heck, they ok'd the Path of Neo.  If ever anything gave the franchise a kick in the teeth, that game did.  But they didn't object to the extra money.  And, if they cared about MxO and the ongoing storyline, they would have wrote it themselves and ensured it go adhered to.

Naidian has popped up once or twice.

Roolith, again, a couple of times to help people farm and the PvP event.  And he ran that event.  Only issue was it was on Syntax.  But hey.

As for Pramana, he's been AWOL since the New Approach and the last EPN meeting that was called.

I wish Reposco was still around...

I think it is safe to say that after 13 pages of messages, that any number of Mods or Admins would have peeked in to see what all the fuss was about.

And, seeing as it hasn't been locked or closed yet, and no one banned for it, I don't think we're going to have an issue.

Heh.  If I win the EuroMillions tonight I could do both.

Well, the way it was done in the Nuts to CBS campaign was by having the vendor (NutsOnline.com) setup an order page for those wishing to contribute. They'd contribute a bit of cash and it would all be pooled into a bulk order that would be shipped off and delivered all in one heaping delivery to CBS in New York.

Hmm.  OhNuts.com I hope you are taking note.  *nudge nudge

Heck.  I'm going to say this here Phrack.  I'll put some cash into bulk buying some "Red Pills" if interested.  Just don't ask me how we would distribute them to everyone.
