• Log on to MxO after the update


• Type /importcontacts on the command line and press Enter

The system will add players who have already logged on to your buddy and ignore lists. If you find your list is incomplete, wait a while and use the /importcontacts command again. Please note: The /importcontacts command refreshes your list from the old database. If you delete players from your buddy or ignore list and use the /importcontacts command again, those players will be added back onto your list. Try to refrain from making any deletions to your buddy and ignore lists until you're imported list is complete.

This information can also be found in the patch notes on the launcher after the update and on Data Node One in the Update 35 notes.

Below is the list of changes for Update 46, which is scheduled to release on Thursday, August 24, 2006.

The Matrix Online Story Continues in Episode 5.3!
The 5.3 Storyline missions and cinematic are now available in game.
The first 5.3 critical mission will be available as soon as the patch is live. The remaining four missions will roll out each following Thursday (8/31, 9/7, 9/14, 9/21)at 1:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time (0800 hours GMT).

White Hallways Open for Business
Archivist vendors now sell very special, very expensive keys that give access to certain areas through hallways. These keys require 100 or more Reputation points in the appropriate Organization to use.

New "Prop Vendors"
"Prop Vendors" at Tabor Park West, Camon Heights Central, and Stamos Northwest hardlines sell a selection of over one hundred prop items. These items have no particular function of their own, but can be traded to other players for roleplaying purposes.

Pandora's Box Mission-Spawn Changes
Pandora box missions with high NPC numbers were causing significant amounts of lag--the ~30 NPCs per phase of the final mission were likely the cause of most of the mysterious, intermittent lag in north-central Downtown. NPC counts in the following Pandora's Box missions have been reduced; : arc 2, mission 2, "Walking Papers"; arc 3, mission 1, "A Key for Every Lock"; arc 4, mission 3, "Trial By Fire". In most cases, the level of the remaining NPCs has been increased by one.

Dead Redpills Flag no PvP
You can no longer become flagged for PVP while you are dead.

Fixed /ignore Command
Fixed a bug that caused an Ignored player's text to still appear in the chat window.

Okay, let's not start accessing the External Playtest server before it's ready, folks. Generally, if we don't make something available publicly, there's a reason. (Just waiting to see the flood of "My version isn't working!!!!111oneone" posts because someone logs on early. )

As far as "soon" goes, it looks like we'll be posting access information today for opening of the server tomorrow (Tuesday, Jan. 10). We want to get the access information out a bit early so everyone can patch as soon as possible.

Unless we find something broken today, things are looking good for tomorrow. Keep those fingers crossed.
