i dont know where u get ur information from, but u speak like u know and thats not the case.

i read that the sentinal is supposed to replace the cinemas, thats the reason they were updated

can u wait until a dev comments on this before u write something?

please....

Um, no.  You're very very very very wrong.

Rarebit, a dev, said in THIS POST  "Nah, the Sentinel isn't replacing cinematics. It's just being the Sentinel."

Actually, I'm pretty sure I've read it both ways in two separate posts.

From a dev?

Edit:  Because Rarebit even reiterated it later on in the same thread HERE.  And doing a search for "sentinel" in posts made by Rarebit show no results that contradict what he said before.

Welcome back!

As far as I can tell, Recursion had the most right after the server merges because it merged with Method.  However, I think Syntax has the most since i've never seen its population as Low while Recursion and Vector sometimes are.

Roleplaying is still alive, although I've never gotten into it as much as I'd like to.  However, RP is definitely thriving with Liaisons.  Get in touch with these people according to your server and org.  They're 24/7 in character and they'll let you know when Live Events are going on, etc.

Keep your eyes out for parties and such because they're really fun and that's where you get to meet a lot of people. 

Also, be sure to do the Archive Missions to get brought back up to speed on the story.  It's HELLA confusing for new/returning players to understand what's going on.  There used to be story summeries on various websites that would get you up to speed really easily but I don't know of any anymore. 

It's true, the game is not as popular or populated as it was when it first started and when you played, but it's still here and a lot of vets are still around. 

Hope you enjoy MxO as much as you did when you played it before. 

Events... Are they still occurancies? Do thinks still happen?

Are they planned? Are they still as good?

Yes, events do still happen.  But it depends on your outlook on whether they're just as good or not.

Instead of having a big event once a month, there are small events EVERY SINGLE DAY!  And they are much more closely related to the storyline and tie in with the critical missions instead of being seperate entities like the Darkness one.  This is why getting in touch with your liaison is crucial, because they'll be able to tell you when and where an event is that you can participate in.

That's the point, Hank_22.  You knew what the prize for the box would be before you did it.  Rarebit didn't want to make an item that is a must have for pvp be insanely hard to get.  Instead, you get it for the bragging rights.

Also, I find your sig horribly offensive. 

Well that has nothing to do with the update, WoKeN.  That's just stupid people.

Someone once complained to me about taking "their" luggable that they had tried to hide in a building.

A lot of you are getting confused on this "clothing slot" business.

Rarebit has a HUGE supply of slots where he can add re-textured clothing.  Like putting a new skin on an already existing model.

However, he has a VERY LIMITED supply of clothing slots for new models.  The gi with pants and the gi without pants are different models, not skins.  He was able to add pants because he changed the model, leaving him with the same amount of model slots taken.  He would have to take up another model slot if he put both pants and pantsless gis in game.

The 30-something new clothing he just added to the game were re-textured using already existing models.

Also, it's important to note that "body paint" is not a new model.  It's just a retextured version of skin on the RSI.  Therefore, the wrappings on the gis and the new shoes and the commando gear aren't new models, even though clothing has never been seen shaped like that before.

Edited because I mucked up some wording which completely changed the meaning.

Slight problem with the Valshamr and body type one:

That's not a problem with the shirt, that's a problem with the skirt.  The skirt comes in 1 size: medium.  So body type 1's have a big butt, and body type 3's have a small butt.  However, the shirt scales in size, making them not line up correctly.  The same can be seen with the regular black agent outfit, it's just not as noticeable since it's black.

Edit:  Grrrr.  With these mucked up forums I didn't see Rarebit's post 'till just now.  CURSE YOU, FORUMS, AND YOUR SNEAKERY!

   I'd be able to answer that if I had time to play the game.

You've got so many chat logs I thought you'd be on all the time!

    Riiiiiiight.  Standing around for hours and chatting really constitutes gameplay. 9_9

Well then stop standing around for hours and chatting.  No one's forcing you to not have fun and enjoy the game, especially if you're not getting paid for it. 

You might feel like logging everything is something you have to do, but you're putting a lot of time and money into something you don't enjoy and that shouldn't happen.  It's your money and your time, do whatever you want with it.  And if that means not logging every events that happens, then so be it.

If everyone thought like that MxO would see a 20% population cut. This entire game is built on the hope that things will get better someday.

I tend to think of MxO as a game version of LOST.  In LOST, we've known about the smoke monster since episode 1 and we've yet to find out what it is or what it's doing there, etc.  Heck, we've even known about the Island itself since episode 1 and we've yet to figure out what it is.

However, the advantage of LOST is knowing that in 2 years we'll have all the answers (supposedly).

Which makes me wish sometimes, only sometimes, that this game would go under but give us enough warning so that Rarebit can reveal all the answers.  Actually, even a story from Rarebit explaining everything would be acceptable.  I just don't want to be 85 (in 67 years) and STILL not know where Neo's body is.  That would be great in some ways because this game would still be going and still be popular enough, but seriously.  It needs to have an end at some point, even if it is another, Lord willing, 10 years.

Anybody know what the rare mask is for this year?

Oh yeah, you're right!  I was thinking the Merv was in one of the image retrievals.

Neat-o.

I've always like the Female Blood-drinker.  I just wish I would stop getting 80 of them from the pumpkins and actually get something else for once.  Still waiting for my Trainman...

If you don't like them, don't get them.

Judging from THIS THREAD, I'd say Paul had complete control over the storyline up to Anome's death.  From there, control was split between Paul and Rarebit with them both collaborating on Sati's kidnapping and such. 

From 7.2-9.3, I think Rarebit started to gain more control over the storyline with Paul as more of a guide than the person who actually penned the story.  I think it was Rare's idea to end the Truce, but I'm not positive.  Paul had probably given his "1 year notice" and sort of "trained" Rarebit.  That's all speculation though.  =P

And from 10 onward, Rarebit's been in full control.

Out of the 100 times I've used /stuck, it has worked once.  I don't know why it's always my first goto whenever I'm stuck, as if I think it'll do anything because it doesn't, but then one mighty fine day, it actually unstuck me.  It even congratulated me with a message of some sort like

"You are now unstuck."

I was pretty excited.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO CALM THE FRACK DOWN

This community is the biggest group of whiners I've ever seen. SPILT MILK MUCH?

If I'm not mistaken, he didn't say there were BIG surprises in store. So you didn't get what you were expecting, big fracking deal.  Now that Rarebit's gone, I don't think anyone can expect this game to get "better" so if it's not to your liking now, I suggest you leave with your dignity intact.

JESUS H CHRIST

We never knew each other but I always liked you from the minute I saw your name "Yahweh".  Whoever raised the fuss about your name should have been shot.  I thought it was creative and very original (even though it's centuries old).

And it's sad to see a member for 4.5 years leave, especially now during these troubled times.  Take care.

If I were to reciprocate the way SOE treats MXO as perhaps a picture of a finger gesture, it'd get me banned. But of course it's perfectly okay to treat the customers like that since we're making the same amount of profit as we would if we treated them better.

Fixed. 

Face it, they could put more money into this thing, but then they'd be losing money since it wouldn't enhance interest in the game and then they'd shut it down completely.  As a company, it just wouldn't make any sense.  Unless you want to give them the funds yourself, complaining isn't going to get you anywhere.

Better to have it run completely player-driven than to not have it run at all.

It is indeed!  That's pretty much exactly how she acted.

Back in August of 2008, there was a mini-event with Harkee and a Machinist named "Consonance," whose bluepill name was "Sarah Edmontons."  However, I don't think it was ever revealed whether or not she was the real Sarah Edmontons.  I can post the chat log here, if anyone wants to see it.

That was a player thing that I dropped the ball on.  The player gave me the outline of where the events were supposed to go and it looked good to me, but unfortunately I don't know what he did with it after that one event we had. 

If the player wants to talk about it he can but I'm not going to go revealing what his plans were. 

Tygr!!  I missed you!  You were one of my first buddies in LESIG and I was all "yay, i found a buddy in LESIG and he trusts me enough to know his big secret" and then you left.  :p  Too bad we never got to really work together other than the random mission here and there. 

And I think you and Vogt should hop back on and do a certain event that went unfulfilled, if you know what I'm saying!  :D
