I think trying to argue certain points is kinda getting old now, who really cares, are we really trying to score points against each other now? After the servers turn off, these forums dissapear, we will all be in our own forums, communicating with our own friends via various methods.

Yea so its last chance to voice our opinions on people who we wont see on those forums.

odj, what a pleasure, and how I shall miss your insights.  To quote Raijinn:

What happens to all the code/data for The Matrix Online?
Sony Online Entertainment and Warner Brothers will retain all of the code and data from The Matrix Online.

Can someone open an emulated server for The Matrix Online?
Sony Online Entertainment and Warner Brothers hold the copyrights for The Matrix Online stories and data so creating a fan owned and operated emulated MxO server would be against those copyrights.

SOE and WB own the code and the copyrights and the data for the story.  That's the IP (intellectual property).   For you, I'll append WB next time as well.   However, the above renders irrelevant your citation of the old, old box.   WB is almost never mentioned in these discussions, and is largely a passive (I would suggest passive-aggressive) co-owner.

On request of access to high-resolution images etc of MxO for use in creating an advertising campaign for MxO I got this responce from Virrago...

Our marketing department isn't allowed to grant you anything since we don't own the MxO brand. It seems you would have to talk to WBIE.

You blamed SOE for not doing anything with the Matrix gaming IP and not letting any of the players do anything with it when in-fact they do not own it at all acording to the marketing department.

I guess she could have made a honest mistake but when you make 6 other mistakes (just skimming over and picked out the obvious ones) then yea your opinion starts to look a little hazey.

I'm curious in knowing these identities, because nearly everyone else's has surfaced already.

Recursion.Stanten

Scratch this one off of your list. That was in fact me, AbraCadaver aka Devistate aka DesperAuto from the Syntax server. Well, still is me I guess because he never got renamed from when I left a few months back. I mostly hung out in my own circles until getting the invite so it doesn't surprise me that the ID didn't really get out, especially since no one knew for months and then only a few knew after that. It wasn't until I was about to leave when I told some people, including LO's that I worked with for a long time such as Tranta and the one formerly known as Haigen. Both were surprised even though they had spent a good deal of time around me.

 

Anyway since I'm here and never gave a good bye post, I really appreciated the time I spent in the group. Recursion was very good to me from the start, both within the Cyph Org and also those outside of it. The first nigth Rej and I were official I remember meeting with MetaLogic, Goligoth and Ebola, all were incredible to be around in the time I was there. I also remember having contacts with other org's members such as a couple of run ins with Fenshire and a few with Tranque off the top of my head. It really never was a dull moment heheheh.

 

Don't know what else to say except that I thank all of those I was in the group with very much. All of you were awesome to work around to say the least and a few special shout outs:

 

Vogt I watched you from a distance since I was Merv and Cyph, depending on my character logged in at the time, and I was in awe. Absolutely one of the most creative minds I've ever seen.

 

Tranta, you reminded me a lot of myself with the attitude and sarcasm. I think that's why we got along so well for the most part. :p

 

Haigen, still the most fascinating LO I ran across. Always made time and always checked in. Stayed active and busy while jacked in and that meant more than can be worded.

 

Anyway, for anyone looking for AbraCadaver or Devistate, you won't find either as they've both been donated to LESIG and renamed. Abra last played in the Blood Requiem event on Syntax as DropFree and was killed at the end of his part so it would be kind of weird to log him in. Devistate was renamed and took part in a side event written by Haigen. He was accepted by the Cypherite Org and was an associate within the LESIG crew and was known as Recant, making occasional appearances.

 

So that answers that part of your question and probably a hell of a lot more than you ever wanted to know. :p

:o My Cyph contact finaly revealed! Nice RPing with you.

As soon as I read that you think that Sony owns the Matrix gaming IP I stoped reading.

You obviously do not know what you are talking about so to write a whole opinion on something you do not know about is in my opinion, pointless.

Go grab your MXO box, turn to the back, look at the bottom...

Awww yeah, got it sorted in the end thanks to PBlade, back in the showwwwww.

Whoa whoa I think some people got confused, I meant the storyline up untill a certain point. (before it got ludicress) Not continuing the storyline.

Aquilae wrote:

No offense but it it safe to say that youre one of the reasons of the lack of support we've been getting from the past two and three years? Seeing that your the Producer and all?

 

It's just that we've have so many 'why' questions that are still unanswered and you're technically the only person in the game's staff.

No offence to you but someone with half a idea of how the world works will know the answer to all those 'why' questions you are asking.

Shame this thread won't see the end of the LOST series

For what it's worth, I enjoyed the fifth season. It was good at progressing the story and changing how the show flowed and yet still keeping that LOST feel, ethos, character drama and rejuvtinating the love triangle, square, whatever it is now. The finale was class, Season 6 will be truely sad when it is finally over.

I agree

Thirded.

I wanted a FM-1500 for spying for the machines for 1/2 a year god-dammnit! Rarebit sucks!

I'm not interested. [/sarcasm]

I have not really come back for the end, I've come back to make a final tribute video to a game lots of people have called home for a long time. I've made this thread as a question to everyone as to what they would like included in such a video.

I think the main question is between one of two options...

Cool video showing off lots of different locations in-game/times of day/ability moves/other in-game things people can do.

or

Cool video showing off the progression of the storyline.

Personaly I'd go for the first cause the story has been preserved through the cinematics but I thought I'd better ask everyone before making it.

I plan on seeing it next week but knowing that there is a fuller cut almost an hours worth im not gonna make my final judment of it till i see that final directors cut.

I believe the director's cut will just include the Black Freighter stuff, so it shouldn't really change the overall experience of the movie other than extra fanboy content.

There is 3 versions. Theatrical, Directors cut and extended Directors cut. (the latter which has the Black Freighter stuff in)

Oh yea it does, I didnt watch the HD version so looked a little different when I saw it. Thats deffinately a egyptian god type statue.

Here's my prediction:  The statue is of Richard.

Looked like a womans body to me.

You know what ODJ, at least we're trying something instead of just sitting around on DN1 and bitching about our state like some people are content to do.

TekMon wrote:

Could be, but it won't hurt either and it's better than doing nothing.

Doing something = you wanting more than what the game is at the moment.

Wanting more than what the game is at the moment = Getting hopes up.

Getting hopes up = Ultimately hopes are smashed into a million pieces when epic plan fails epicly due to SOE and WB not giving a flying sex.

Being content with what the game is at the moment = Not getting hopes up, not wanting more than it is, and ultimately not having dreams smashed into a million pieces. (of course untill they shut down the servers when DC Online comes out)

Seeing as you claim they wont do shite, I'll assume that you aren't going to bother then Odj. Even if they don't do anything, does the rest of our sending these letters etc.. bother you in any way, or can we let you get back to your tired trolling?

No I won't be, for the reasons I mentioned in this post. I've tried something like this before, I've put my heart and soul into it, it ultimately got ignored by the higher ups and what I mentioned above happened. BTW your post in itself is flame-baiting. GG.

Phrack wrote:

It's really no different than the "Nuts to CBS" protest that was pulled off a little over a year ago, now.

Depens on what you define as pulled off. Yes they managed to get the show back on air, but ultimately it wasnt a good enough show and got canceled for a 2nd time.

So yea, get mxo back on track, cool, but ultimately, it aint gonna fix anything cause the game is broken beyond belief.

This game is and has been dead for a long time.

The only reason it stays alive is due to contract agreements.

Sending letters wont do shite.

Special ranks do sometimes slip past other conditions preventing regular accounts from posting however.

OooOooo...then I possibly unretract, my previously retracted statement...maybe...    /shrug

I left, came back for the pvp thingy thinking that Rarebit might have some dignity. Was gravely mistaken, quickly canceled.

Dracoment moved on to a game that didnt suck.

Anyone who is still paying for a monthly subscription...

Yes it does, it does.
