Can we please just let this game die with whatever dignity it still has?

Digging into my own quotes from beginning of this year... and last year... haha

lol.

If i had a nickel for all the times i read something like that I'd have as much money as SOE!

The matrix was definately a good movie/franchise.  The philosophy has been around for a while, but I think the movie really brought them in the open for a lot of people.  Also the combat and FX were wicked ephin' cool! 

As this chapter of the matrix closes, I doubt we have seen the last of it.  I'm sure it will resurface if given enough time.

Ooooh!

*goes to take a slice of pie, finger get smacked*

Ow!  *glares*

I love how "acceptance" is like 1% or less of the chart, lol.

Nice take on everything, sugaree.  I like reading about other's opinions.  Even though we didn't meet from being on separate servers, you were a presance on the forums and we will all remember the work you put into your summaries for us lazy folk who couldn't seem to do all the contact missions.  *thumbs up*

Personally I think I put most of the blame for the game's condition on WB and Monolith first and foremost.  As we know in the beginning they found the game costed too much and the fact they gave it only four months is testament to the fact that WB thought it was going to be a massive money-maker to cash in on.  After they saw otherwise, instead of scaling back (slim the LET, program more static content, slim large Dev team down, ect...) they auctioned it off to the highest bidder.  not to mention people urged monolith in beta to not only take time to add more content, but fix some bugs, they didn't listen.  Without SOE MxO would already be dead.

That doesn't mean SOE wasn't at fault either.  Communication between Walrus and Virrago (or whomever) should have been better.  SOE should have programmed more static content and not bothered with CR2.  they could have limited IL combat to one-on-one withouty CR2.  They could have stripped all the buffs off the clothes and made clothing stets or find a way to give more clothing choices without CR2.  I wouldn't have taken as long and other things could have been worked on as well.

Once i saw that WB was selling this game to SOE, I knew the game was done for.  I didn't realize it would have took this long to die.

Dude, Sony doesn't care.  they're in business to make money, apparntly that means withouty MxO.  This community has been trying for YEARS to save the game.  Everything from word of mouth to people printing fliers.  Hell people even made a myspace for mxo!  Still didn't work.

Sony's a large company, they don't need to worry about a few gamers who play their games as they could pack up their MMO department and still make money off their other merchandise.  Games and mmo's just help make them a little more.

Sorry to kill your dream, but you have to face it that MxO IS ending.  If you want to "save it" that much, start cracking on the encryption for a private server, that's the only way it will happen.

Many thanks for your answer Raijin , btw. my account now works

Another Question : i had subscribed at 1th June, but i was billed with subscription fees (so was that right, that subscribers after 1th June can play for free until the end ?).

Another Question to the following part of the announcement :

"with regards to the cessation of billing process for the eventual closure of The Matrix Online server"

Does this means that eventual there is a chance that MxO still stays online?
Sounds like the big resonanz of old players should make you thinking about a new solution ?

Yes, to play to the very end of the game, you had to be subscribed in some fashion by June 1st.  If your subscription was up later in the month (IE June 20th) you will get refunded for June 20th for the matrix online, and you will still have access to MxO til the server shut down.  If you weren't subscribed at all you won't be included.

what they mean by "eventual" is that it will happen.  they are not going to keep the game open for free past the timeline specified.  they used that word cause eventually they will close the servers, but it won't be right away.

First level 255 Agent encounter will stay with everyone!

I like the setting and idea, but the graphics are old. It sounds impressive but it doesn't look impressive.

Good!  It means it will run well on many PC's.

Also people said mxo's graphics were old, dated, ect....  So....

null

I can agree with that.

But I think SOE at the very beginning did have plans to keep mxo running better, and WB made it hard for them to do so.  I heard that many from Monolith stole storyline info and engineering manuals for the game when SOE took over and the rest of the team was transfered to other games or let go.

Fallen Earth, so I can RP and hang with my friends that are migrating there!

I too will be playing FE.  Euforia and Trayden shall be reincarnated in some fahsion!

(ps: if anyone takes those names at FE launch, I swear I'll hunt you down and kill you in PvP  :p )

.....Fallen Earth doesn't look that bad.....

I doubt we'll see anythign dealing with the matrix for a very, very long time if we ever see anything.  From what it looks like The Wachowski bros. have moved on from the films.  I certainly hope some people can get a private sver for mxo running, illegal or not.

Also saying people who didn't like the second and third film becuase of it's story is stupid.  They story and it's suttle aspects were easy to understand if you paid attention.  What I personally didn't like about them is they didn't have the same charm as the first movie.  I would have liked to see Neo ascend to the power we see him at now, from the first film.  I wanted to see the struggles of a newly awakened One and his choices.  Not the crap we were given.  I hated that Neo could use his power outside of the matrix; he should have been completely human like everyone else.  I hated the use of CGI in them, as it removed the gritty realism of the first low-budget film (which is still happening now in other films actually).  I also hated the fact the movies were one large one, and shot at the same time.  I would have enjoyed them better if the films were three pieces with a beginning, middle and end.

That said, I still played MxO.  Eventually I got a friend to play for a while, but the lack of game content made him go, and eventually me as well.

Someone asked for a "favoritism" topic,  I made one!  Enjoy.

Gotta sign by Junst 1st to experience the extra content!??

I smell favoritism!

....Fare well everyone!

This game was extremely fun when I played and I made a good many friends:

Catzi

Gerik

Arkiya

Skyscream

Armitige

Gami

Mona20 (from recursion)

Euphraxia

Ooz

XElite

Shixinfeng

And anyone else whom I've forgotten.

I love all the memories I have of this game and am happy to be part of it.  It was the one MMO that got me into the world of MMOs and showed me why people Pay-to-play them.  I give WB my thanks, Monolith my thanks when so many companies pulled out of production, and SOE for stepping up and buying it when no one else would.  I wish things could have been different, but I am happy to meet all that I did, and hope to see you in the game's last few months.

Even though I left the game a while ago, I still check up on it from time to time, and I was hoping for better, as I am sure all were.

Thats IMPOSSIBLE!!!!

One thing I hate about 'The Doors' is they will always, always, ALWAYS close just as I reach 'The Door' to walk through it ¬_¬

someone needs to CCR, etc.  this has been going on for hours....

Architect:

• Greetings, humans.


• I am the Architect. I created the Matrix.


• You are undoubtedly confounded by my decision to establish this communication.


• Do not let this perplexity divert you from following the instructions I am about to reveal.


• Since the aborted reinsertion of the prime program, there have been an objectionable quantity of anomalies.


• Even after accounting for the fluctuations due to human rejection of the simulation, there remains an unaccounted for and increasingly high number of these anomalies.


• This is, of course, unacceptable - and great pains have been taken to rectify the condition.


• Despite the historical efficacy of these procedures, the current anomalies do not correspond with our existing indexing methodologies and resist being quarantined.


• I have therefore made a rather abhorrent and altogether regrettable decision.


• Specifically, I am seeking your help.


• The anomalies in question seem to bear a more than superficial resemblance to the integral anomaly.


• To be more explicit, they share qualities with aspects of the one you call Neo.


• Why this should be so is irrelevant. What matters is that you assist in revealing the meaning of these anomalies.


• Although it is with great disinclination that I reveal this information, I believe that it may assist your impulsive and disorderly thought processes.


• Upon supplementary analysis of the anomalies, the following error was returned, ad nauseam.


• "?????"


• I genuinely doubt that you will present us with data of any consequence; however, alternative contingencies have been all but exhausted.


• It is improbable that we will speak again.

Lol huge overreaction.

De-listing costs money, k?

I agree we shouldn't keep adding new constructs, at least not too frequently otherwise they will lose their appeal. I'm looking forward to exploring Sati's Playground and gaining the clothes but it would be nice if something different was worked on in the next update, maybe having something other than clothes as an incentive.

On that note, an archive for each Animatrix film would be nice.  The machine riots, the battlefields, the Dojo, the snowy bamboo forest from Program, maybe not the Track from World Record.  That'd be dumb.

Also, was there ever a reason given for the construct section under hardlines? What was the plan there?

1 Combat change has already killed the game dont urinate on its grave.

I lol'd!!! Yeah though, I agree with Endomorph, we have all ready had one bad combat change, let's not change this one to something completely different that sounds good and movie related but also sounds difficult become skilled with.
