Greetings programs! Oh. Sorry. Wrong movie. 
Newly Awakened here. Well, okay, L8. Have to say, despite all I heard about the game (and experiencing some really weird graphic glitches... although upon reading the TechForums, it's Vista) I am enjoying MXO immensely.
I've also not seen an awful lot of players around, but I guess I'm just in the wrong place at the moment. Trying to get my head around the 'Coding' lark - may be a bit complicated for me right now. For the time being I'll just stick with punching foes in the face..!
Two questions, if you don't mind:
1) What do I do with those floppy discs numbered 1-8 that I seem to pick up constantly?
2) Are there any central "HQ/Stronghold" locations for each Faction to hang around in? For example, while I know Zion is outside the Matrix, is there a central base for Zionites to gather? Same for the Machines and The Merov's Club Hel? Probably an awfully fan-ish question, but if I don't ask... 
All in all, good to be here and I look forward at being killed over-and-over by you all. LOL
Cheers!
