Sarah Edmontons.

Rarebit said something along the lines of he didn't know what the old LET wanted to do exactly with that story so he just left it alone. So, it's probably an unknown.

Well that just sucks....

Agreed.

Sarah has got to have an end story, either she was Neo reincarnated or not.

Well, it fits nicely that she doesn't get an end story since nothing else at all does.

Hmm...I sense a running theme here.... =(

According to Dracomet, XP should still be 2x and mission $Info should still be 3x. Hopefully what folks were seeing was just a glitch in the system.

According to some of my faction mates Dracomet bumped the Task Master in the Zero One construct up in level...anyway we could get him back down?

Thanks again!

Seriously what gives? People who subbed on June 1st are now getting kicked out of game and having their accounts shut down? I mean seriously wth...

Listen... We got less than a weeks notice that you were shutting the game down and stopping billing. We are the paying customers who made this game what it is and after putting in so much time, dedication, and love into this game your simply pulling the plug and taking all our hard work and throwing it into the garbage can. We've got a little less than 2 months left on this game and we'd like to make the most of it and get as much enjoyment out of it as possible... I don't know if you guys have forgotten this fact due to how small the player base is around here, but this is a MMO... And its the multiplayer part that keeps people come back. We've got 2 months left and in order to make the most of it we need our friends and faction mates to be here. As a faction leader myself, I've got tons of friends/faction members who are currently unsubbed and cant get resubbed to get back here and enjoy the last 2 months. And this is a fact that rings true for a lot of players and factions where they've got a lot of unsubbed players who want to come back but cant.

You've got players going back to the CR1 days who put in a lot of time into this game in its early on who want to be here for the end. Some of us have put in well in excess of 3000 hours in to our characters... That's a massive amount of time to spend on something to not be able to be there for the end and have some closure. I mean really stop and think about all the old players out there who you know who want to be here right now but cant.

 

So Virrago, please go bash some heads up in the SOE offices and get them to enable all the old accounts. Let anyone who's not banned come back and play for the end. Heck, unban all the accounts and let them come back as well. As much as we hated some of the players in this game its also the villans who made the game what it was as well. The point is though, let the players come back who want to come back. In the last 2 months if we could get everyone back on here we could make the last 2 months something amazing and give this game one he ll of a send off. And from the logical point of view... SOE has no reason not to.... From June 1st forward all of us are playing for free anyway... So really what difference does it make? Free is free. Try to get them to let our friends and faction mates come back.

So I implore you to please fight for this all to often forgotten community and let us get the most out of the time we have remaining. Because if we cant get our friends and faction mates back here its simply another slap in the face.

Screw pitchforks and torches, I have C-4s!

No, not stupid.

I'm going to miss those emotes as well as the hardlines. I *hate* travel in other games because MXO made it so much easier and less of a run around the world as it were.

Dear God, I'm going to need to get my medical license to be an effective Patcher in this game. o_O

What would it take to run the game in an 'offline' mode?

If anything like this is going to happen it will have to be fan made and what I would have to assume would be illegal. But at this point I'm afraid even willing to bring up the magic emulator word...

I'll take anything...I may have been reading into the post but it seemed like they were inferring some sort of multiple week build up...no clue what they may have really meant but honestly I'm not getting my hopes up about them doing anything.

If I can just sit on the dock at Ike with my friends while mxo closes down I'll be happy.

This is absurd. One final slap in the face from SOE, giving us four days to resubscribe before they lock us out. Are they that dedicated to ticking us off that they're willing to lose hundreds - possibly thousands - of dollars in people coming back for the last hoorah? I'm struggling to understand the sheer stupidity.

I'm a big fan of game music and the soundtrack of the game has been in the back of my life for the past few years...so does anyone know how I can somehow get the music files from the game into some sort of form that winamp would reconize and/or burn to a cd?

Thanks. =)

Wow.

I wish i would have known about your blog years ago...thank you for speaking your mind and keeping such a wonderful summary of everything. =)

I also am confused about this. I asked Virrago and he said he would get back to me, but he didn't before the end of business Friday so I went ahead and resubbed one of my 3 accounts. I currently don't have $45 to spend so it's a coin flip as to whether Diced and the crew will be making it back for a finale.

I know exactly what you mean, I truly hope this isn't the case as all hopes of bringing many of my faction back for one final in-game reunion would be dashed considering we only really had 4-days notice between the announcement and June 1 cut off.  It would it practically be a slap in the face.

Slaps in the face?

From Sony?

Some things never seem to change...*sigh*

I'm checking into this actually

 

The best MXO news in years.

A magical land call school to finish my masters and get to work on my PHD.

My only regret is that they do not have hardlines, rezs or bullet time.

I will miss the people, the hardlines, the green code, the hyper jumping, my friends, the random jokes, the parties and the story.

What I will never miss is Sony.

The time I spent with my friends was good whereas the monetary investment I made into Sony for funding their other projects was a waste of money. I never wanted to play an online RPG before I was given a copy of the Matrix and now I have no intention of really ever playing another one because this was more then just a game...it was a community.

So thank you Sony, for not being able to exert what little effort it would have taken to appease your customers.

Never Again.

Meh.

Sort of like any good virus we are resilient and hard to kill.

But things are quite quite these days...

I don't think Virrago has made any statement and that he isn't allowed to divulge any information even if he theoretically had such knowledge. The last thing I remember hearing about the state of the game was from Walrus at the Anniversary party where he said to the effect that the Matrix online was being put on maintenance mode while Sony investigated what they could do for us.

Even if Sony was willing to hire one or two people to do stuff for us they would have to be trained and instructed on how to manipulate the game system. One of the most common things Rarebit told  us was that the coding of the game was unnecessarily made complicated to the point where he was afraid of doing anything too big because it might crash the system and cause an early Matrix flavored Apocalypse.

To my knowledge Virrago's job is to moderate the forum and pass on knowledge as he sees fit. The stuff like the photo contests, operative of the week and him occasional popping in to say hey and to send level 80 ninjas to kill us is just something he does for fun so we aren't left by ourselves.

Rarebit wasn't a programmer and was originally hired just to write mission scenarios. Eventually the entire Matrix story and development fell into his lap. He made alot of decisions that polarized vocal members of the community and if we did get someone new...odds are it would have the same effect.

But...for now we at least have a game and if people continue calling and sending emails I'm sure eventually someone will either crack or get fed up and just let us know something.

I love the Matrix Online and spent the better part of three and a half years of my life here...and would be quite happy to spend another three if support could be given.

*sigh* I hate waiting games though. =)

Maybe someone should make a sticky about this and include what information we have been given about the game? That way it might help curtail some of the same threads being made over and over.

I wasn't around then but welcome back!

Asking Sony to change a URL would be too much effort for this game. I'm sure it may be a TINY bit more complicated than that...but at the same time its nice to see some nostalgic memories of MXO's past.

Figured this song might help inspire everyone as well...

Does it really take 8 devs to judge a weekly screenshot contest? I've never seen them all online before now when you've done it. (And the femme fatale, Juggarnaut et al contests)

COVER UP!!!

I judge those by myself.

Jeez, everytime I try to do something for you guys.... /facepalm

 

That's more than likely why Rarebit left too V.

To be fair...most of what was said couldn't be taken as being serious. I don't think it's a surprise we're all jumping at the slightest sliver of activity and if we got something you know...people would come flooding back...at least to complain. =D

I have contacted the Machines and they have sent some Agents to help un-cover the cover up

We have enough material to give them a third movie..."X-Files: The case of the missing dev support"

Not a catchy title perhaps but the big twist will come at the end when we find out The Matrix Online never existed at all.

Ah well...so much for the Apocalypse...maybe next Thursday instead?

Odd...I wonder if they will step out of the shadows to speak to us or just pick us off one by one...

Slight Update:

I received this email response today from who ever handles the email correspondence for Fan Faire:

Hi Matt,

 
Sorry for the delayed response. I’m still waiting for information about The Matrix this year. I’ll email you as soon as I know! J

It's not much but at least we aren't the only ones in the dark about what is going on...

Welcome to MXO! =D
