I remember listening to RFZ during the end of beta event, and someone told the DJ that Cinematic 1.4 had been released. We all found out pretty quickly that wasn't true. Could've been where the rumour started. As the others said, 1.4 never existed.

Site Update: 01/06/2006

Fixed links to point to MxO Archive's new temporary URL.
Added links to CloudWolf's Storyline Summary. Good stuff.
Added a section for Episode 3.3: Veil of Cryptos.
The links to buy MxO actually work now. I removed EBGames/GameStop and added Direct2Drive. DN1 should think about doing the same.
Neighborhood Mission Contacts: Added links to Sugaree's reviews for The Jeweler, Madame T., and The Landlord.

CloudWolf,

I apologize for not getting your document posted on www.mxostory.com (I've been busy), but it looks like you found better, more maintainable homes anyway. I updated the site today to include links to your content in each section. Good stuff. :smileyhappy:

Beta player since November 2004, when pre-order players were let
in. For the most part, it was a fun, positive experience,
especially when I joined The Company.

Site Update: 02/04/2006

Added COMING SOON! message referencing Walrus' comments about MxO's First Anniversary.
Added Episode 4.1 information to Veil of Cryptos section. It's not much at this point, but I expect to have more later. I also added a note about LESIG and increasing character appearances.
Added new sections for the Server Merge and Combat Revision 2.0. Although these are not storyline elements, they are important events in the history of the game.
Changed CloudWolf's Storyline Summary links to point to the new home on MxOResource.com.
Added note to Double Cross section referring to it as the LET's final event.
Added Matrix code icon for browser shortcut/favorite.
Neighborhood Mission Contacts: Sugaree has been busy, and I've added links to her latest reviews. She finishes up Downtown with reviews for Tick Tock, Sammy Wein, Nicky G., The Newsie, and a special "Downtown in Review". She then moves on to other neighborhoods by reviewing Mr. Po, Yttri, Raini, The Digger, and Thalia. Whew!

Check out the MxO Story Timeline thread, which contains links to the old DN1 articles. Hopefully, all of those will be carried over to the new site.

I just got back from seeing Serenity, and I must
say it was great. The best movie I've seen in a while. It's nice to see
someone take a great show like FireFly, turn things up a notch in the
movie, and still maintain the feel of the original series. Maybe this
will cause the series to make a comeback. One can only hope. By the
way, seeing the series is not a requirement for the movie, although it
may help you appreciate the characters more.

Check out the awesome web site at http://www.serenitymovie.com/. After you see the movie you can rent FireFly on DVD or watch it on Sci-Fi channel. It's worth it, I promise. Cool

Watch the first 9 minutes here.

Additional clips are on the web site.

MxOStory.com Version 2.0 is launched with an all new layout! Each section will include an RP-style journal entry from SuperJenius The Character. There is much left to do on this front, but at least it's a start. I'll include some "teaser" tidbits in this thread to whet your appetite. :smileytongue: There is also a new section called "The OOC" which includes out-of-character commentary on events.

I hope you like the new site! www.mxostory.com

MxOStory.com Version 2.0 has just been launched! Future updates will be noted in the new thread.

So you made it. You took the red pill, and before long you got yourself lost in that **bleep** rabbit hole. Now, you're in serious need of a history lesson, and you want SuperJenius to fill in the blanks. Fine by me, just remember who's tellin' the stories here. I call it like I see it, and you'll get no spoonful of sugar from me...

Where do I begin? Oh yeah, the red pill. Niobe handed me one on November 18, 2004 (according to my calendar). She pretended I had a choice, but no one chooses ignorance over answers. I was no different. I grabbed the capsule of truth without a moment's hesitation...

In the Beginning...

How many redpills can say they survived a restart? I wish I hadn't. My whole body aches. This ain't your everyday hangover, that's for **bleep** sure...

The End of Beta

FYI, here is the speech.

I step outside to find another antidote -- blue skies. Not the stuff of the little girl. No, these are much more vivid. As I stare up, the nostalgia is replaced with feelings of awe and a sense of calm. Surely, I must be dreaming. The Machines would never do this. It wouldn't fit into the Architect's **bleep** equation. At this moment, none of that matters. This is a beauty the likes of which have never been seen in the Matrix nor Zion. It's enough to bring a tear to this man's eye, and I will not look away.

A Piece of Blue Sky

Site Update: 4/9/2006

Full coverage of A Piece of Blue Sky live event.
Updated the Coming Soon page for Battle of the Bands.
Fixed MxO Archive links.
Fixed several layout issues.

I just watched the meatwadding video 20 times. I'm going to watch it 20 more. What was the deal with that guy talking? O_O *dives into website*

The person recording the video was listening to RFZ (Radio Free Zion). The DJ reported that the "skies were clearing" right before the meatwad, LOL. RFZ really did add a lot to the end of beta experience, by the way, with news reports from multiple DJ's around the city. It was a great time.

Not that we were ever gone. After a short stint with another
faction, we were not able to get our old tag back, so we regrouped as
The Company Elites. That changed today when some old friends
logged in to hand over the tag. What can I say? It fits
like a glove. I had the tag since Beta, and I missed it.
Feels good to have it back.

What other factions have survived since Beta? List 'em here. :smileyhappy:

Added new event-related images in the left margin of some pages.
Added a few screenshots to the End of Beta page.
My email address and other info is now available on the contact page. Send me your links and thoughts on the site.
All external links now open in a new window (unless you open in a new tab).

A few good ones in here: Halloween Screenshots

Very, very cool. This will definitely get a link.

Here's the Merv computer message. Interesting...

Hey Teacch,

I still got the tag, but was thinking I might have to switch pretty soon. Maybe not, eh?

I saw whiterain tonight and she's sporting the tag again. It would be nice to run with a group again.

Aww, but unknown attack sounds cooler >.<

Kk, im changing it to the jack in to report findings idea, seems to hold more water anyway.

I know I'm a little late on this, but the event summary has this to say about Neurophyte:

The highly talented but extremely green Zionite operative Neurophyte
was sent on a routine mission to investigate some strange energy
fluctuations in a Machine-controlled area in the Real. The mission soon
become much more than routine, however, as she happened upon some
extremely sensitive information relating to the Red-Eyed Agents.
Neurophyte, unable to contact her crew from her location, jacked
recklessly into the Matrix from a rudimentary port she discovered in
the area in an attempt to transmit her findings quickly.

Unfortunately
the port Neurophyte utilized was extremely old and unstable, and had
not been upgraded with the new emergency jack-out protocols. Somehow in
the transition the information she had recovered intermingled itself
with her RSI, causing a malformation of her integral code - and what
was more, she could not jack out again. In pain and gradually feeling
herself deteriorate, Neurophyte desperately attempted contact with
other operatives, hoping that someone would understand her garbled
communications and find her.

Check out the Flash Traffic and event summary links here for more details.

Site Update: 6/25/2005

I know. It's been far too long since the last
update, and the site was getting a little stale. I haven't had much
time lately to play the game, much less report on it. You'll be happy
to know that I spent all weekend updating the site SMILEY . There's still
much to do, but hopefully this will satisfy your appetite for a bit:

Added Cheat Codes page which follows current events.
Updated Veil of Cryptos page with the latest links.
Finished journal entries and commentary for The Matrix Online Launch and The Race to Find the One. This takes forever! I hope you like it.
Some images, screenshots, and other content are now hosted by thex.fm. Thanks for the space, TxTurbo! Follow the X!
A
copy of the Warner Bros. Data Node One archive is now hosted at
thex.fm. MxOStory.com links now point to it, and there is a link to the
entire site on the home page.
All pages now feature the original, full-size banners (instead of the small ones I had before) created by the MxO team. Thanks CloudWolf!
All cinematic links now point to the official videos on DN1.
Updated the Coming Soon page with links to the latest developments on Archival Missions, White Hallways, and Org. Abilities.
Put a "Next" link at the bottom of each page, so you don't have to return to the home page between each section.
Added a Search (Google) link to the home page for searching this site.
Fixed a ton of broken links. The floating feast is always in motion.

It has been so long since we saw the green Neo RSI thing!! I think the last time I remember seeing it was when Flood showed it to all the Mervs during the race to find One event!! =)
Can't wait to see what happens next!!!!

Actually, Morpheus showed it off the night before he started setting code bombs during The Hunt for Morpheus. I don't think we've seen it since then though.

Addictions. Everyone's got 'em. A few days away and it's clear that the Machines aren't the only ones that need this place. It feels good to be back home...

The Matrix Online Launch

Peace. Many pay lip service to it, but Neo died
for it. I'll not forget that soon. Many of my fellow Merovingian
cohorts ridicule him, but I know I wouldn't be sitting here typing if
it wasn't for him. I presume he is dead, of course. There are those
that say Neo is still alive, in one form or another. Wishful thinking,
if you ask me. Peace ain't free and Neo had to pay the price...

The Race to Find the One

Exiles. They're a creepy bunch. Rubbing shoulders with them ain't my
idea of a good time. They're always looking at you like you're their
next meal. Just part of the job, I guess, but I'll never get used to it...

Nightfall

Site Update: 7/2/2006

Finished journal entry and commentary for Nightfall page.
Added latest Live Event link to Cheat Codes page.

Here's my question.

Just in case those don't qualify, here's my question.

I've got a good question, but with my schedule, there's no way I'll get it in on my own. If anyone would like to ask for me, it would be appreciated.

In the MxO Fanzine, Paul Chadwick mentions the following:

"There's even one player who will get to appear in a cinematic we have one mapped out so that there's only one path he can follow. Once somebody does that in gameplay, we'll use the character he's built and plug him into the cinematic we've otherwise already prepared." [sic]

Was this planned to happen in Cinematic 3.1 when the Assassin was killed on the barge? I wonder how that would have worked with multiple servers.

I guarantee most people who saw the Matrix saw it and loved it for its special effects and wire-fu combat (like me). It was only until Reloaded that I became a really big fan, and started to learn and study the hidden meanings in the film.

My story is pretty much the same, though I'm a bit older than you. I think the unresolved ending of Reloaded had a lot of people thinking about what would happen next (remember The Matrix within a Matrix theory?). For me, this led to deeper thoughts on the films and more of a general interest in Philosophy. Although I think of it as one big story, Reloaded may be my favorite of the trilogy because of the questions it asks, and the kick-*CENSORED* effects don't hurt either. SMILEY

What about Hampton Green in the Cinematic?

Site Update: 8/19/2006

The Cheat Codes page now includes links for Chapter 5.2, as well as links to all Live Events directly related to the overall story. This sure beats trying to keep track of them in the new forums! Enjoy.

While I'm sure every developer hopes their game will be a resounding success, I think it is fair to say that with MxO a certain level of success was expected and even planned for. Unfortunately, this level was not achieved. What in your opinion were the reasons behind this?

I seem to remember, perhaps not too accurately, that there was a hitch in rolling out the story at first, too, so we sort of got held up on chapter 1.2 for a very long time, which gave people the impression that we weren't going to be following through on our promise of having a central, evolving story.

I didn't think about that at the time. Guess I was too busy leveling, but looking back, I can see there was almost a two-month gap between chapters 1.2 and 1.3. After that, the schedule was followed fairly closely, until the LET was gone. Looking forward, I'm glad future events will be sticking to the official storyline. While I enjoyed the LET events (Nightfall, Choice & Consequence, etc.) very much, introducing all of those new characters, in addition to Paul's, was a bit overwhelming. I can't wait to see what happens next.

I'm of the "keep it simple" mindset. Just add the info to the player Details window. This seems like it would be easier for the devs than creating an ability/tool and would take up no space. Options could be added to the user settings so the player can determine if (and perhaps what) information is to be shared. No share, no compete. My 2 cents.

Glad to see this one fixed. BTW, is it supposed to break sneak? Seems like it would be most useful right before a sneak attack.

MMO's didn't interest me until MxO came along. I'm a huge fan of the movies, and finding out what happens next in the "official" story was a big draw. It's been a bumpy ride, but there have been some high points.

Why do I stay? Actually, I left. Sort of. Then why am I still here? I guess it didn't take. It's an addiction!
