How true... (strange, had the same idea, but only theoretical... (not enough money or skills at last))

Clearly: Real PVE-Constructs with own contacts or collectors...

Yeah, that would be very cool... great idea... (all this potential... )

I know this thread is old... just wanted to say that this radio is awesome! (even if I'm from Recursion)

Heard it first time yesterday, but already love it , please continue your great work Catzi

I wish I could understand the decisions of the "powers that be" on SOE...

Just imagine a bit advertisement at station/soe-sites, trial-keys direct on station and, for players who have gone, some free-to-play-time to probably get some back... (they have done this for EQ2! 2 - 3 weeks as I remember). That's no magic and not "expensive" or something... and they could profit...

I love them all, but "Kids story" is awesome! Feels just like my former life as a teenager...

... hm....

@topic: as many said, let's make player events!

I'd like to organize one myself, but to be honest, I don't know really how... (not really a veteran after one year)

Yeah, both true.

Also a general welcome to all new Operatives! Never forget, do not trust the system

For Zion!

Oh, and SOE should offer a normal, direct way to Trial-keys! (getting them through a myspace-site is a bit... strange, for such a company)

Yes, I know, will never happen blahblah, but it could. Not much money and personal would be needed to keep MxO interesting for most of the old fanbase, and also addict some new players... (the game would never become like WoW of course).

Not to mention all the possibilities the game/Matrix-license would still offer... (PVE-Constructs, perhaps vehicles and stuff...)

Well yeah.  This game could totally be revived if SOE decided to throw 50, 60, hell why not 100k at someone and say "dude, fix some **** and make all these players happy!"

It would also be cool if SOE bought everyone subscribed to the game sweet-*** trench coats and sunglasses so we could all dress up like NEO!!!!!!!111

Oh I know, SOE should maybe like, like if they bought us all ice cream cones every time we jacked in and they found some awesome way to like...  to send us ice cream cones through some kind of teleporter.  Snap, that'd be cool.

 

Or...  We could wake up and stop expecting anything at all from them and just play the game while it's still here.

I said this in another thread, and I'm only repeating it because it's something to think about.

Do you know how much money that they have saved since Rare has left?  If you want to really look at the big picture from a business perspective...  MxO costs very little to run at this point.

Personally, I think Rare left because he was given a choice.  I think they couldn't afford him and MxO anymore, so they told him that he could either stay and they continue to pay him and put the final nail in MxO's coffin, or he can leave and MxO can continue on with everything left.

That's just me though.

You didn't understand anything I said... As I said above, I don't believe things will change, but things could change, it's not to late or something, it would be possible. And continuing the support and improve the game a bit sometimes would not cost much money, at last the game could still make profit for SOE. Let a MMORPG at this point die is simply a wrong decision, it still has, limited of course, financial potential with a little support. You have to think about all the work in the game and it's engine over the last years... making a new MMORPG costs really money!

For example, what would it cost SOE to make more advertisement for MxO sometimes and don't hide it on their own webpages? A few minutes of one or two persons... they just don't WANT to do something for the game at the moment. Why? Nobody knows...

Of course MxO is not WoW (thank god ), but nobody can decide for a game he never reads about / he doesn't know!

At last, the merge, Syntax and Recursion, we all know about this discussion in the other thread... This would SAVE money for SOE, and make most players happy, current and possible new ones (first look is important, and empty servers are not "good"), but they don't do it. There is no logical explanation for that...

(PS: Your joke about Neo fails a bit, many MxO-Players already own Matrix-style trechcoats & sunglasses, right? )

I most certainly won't stick around until Halloween, if there is absolutely zero content and development of MxO over the next six months.    Even if that's the case no one will get anything new anyways for the Halloween 2009 Event.   (If there is anyone left ingame by then).

Now, I will be ingame (ok, I've still not seen everything in the game, as you do I think).

@topic: Unlocking the masks all the time seems not right to me. It seems more like another nail in the coffin ("oh, perhaps the game is dead, so we have two days of fun with the masks, ruin all of the matrix-atmosphere by using them all the time, and that's it..."). I'd like to see continuing normal Halloween-events (that should not be much work, even without a true developer, just activate and deactivate). Of course new masks/things for the event would be nice, but... you what I mean.

At last, I don't understand why SOE had not done the merge already... not only we would have more living city, they would reduce costs... strange.

Hi there,

we all know that there are many big advertisement-signs in the game, reserved for ingame-advertisement. Because of MxO not beeing a game for the mass-market (like WoW), these signs are all empty (just "Add Space for rent" or something like that).

As far as I know, the atmospheric Matrix-advertisement (not real advertisement) former covered all of this signs. Would be cool to replace the many empty and boring signs with the old ones (not all perhaps, the "Space for rent"-things can be feel "real" too, especially in the "slums"). Would make the city more interesting, looking better, and less dead (if there is a lack in players in moment, especially on Syntax, this "dead" atmosphere should not be supported by this signs...)

I don't like the idea of ingame-advertisement at all, but that's not the point here. The signs are not used, so they could be replaced with the old, "fake" ones, which where often stylish and funny (when thinking about the nature of the Matrix).

I know, this is not really very important or a big win, but it would be nice and it would be not much work... (of course, somebody still must do it, even if it's not much work)

Just my opinion.

PS: We need a dev... (I know, that's not new)

Greetings

Firstly, great idea. This is a very Rp and story based game (I recall "continue the STORY of the matrix" being a selling point for this game) and an idea like this is perfect for the playerbase.

Secondly, While I hope, and I really, really hope jah is wrong. I think he may be right. It seems like rarebit was the last person at soe that cared about us, and he left. Please SOE, just give us something.

Yes, definityl agree. The story was also an important point for me.

I also really hope that SOE will give us something, and not longer ignore us, their customers.

This is a real cool idea, many nice pics guys!

Especially the Scenic of Shinryu is awesome.

Very cool move! Gratulations!

Now I know why I couldn't find an avatar or signature-option... strange thing. Never seen this one-year-thing on other game-forums before... should be changed, in my opinion.

Whatever, getting close

Great idea. It is a good way to revive this game without an official storyteller, because we already have many cool people who create stories of the Matrix.

That's true. I really hope we see a possibility of user-created content in the game. The only way to get some live back to the game without a official dev-team (at last, a true dev-team would be best of course, and fan-content as addition would be still nice then)...

At last, user-created content is the only way to bring the game back to life without a dev-team... (but I think at last one developer would be needed to check and manage some things). I hope we will see something like this, really...

But a real developer team is for me still the best thing that could be happen to the game, story and official updates and new contents (have I ever mentioned PVE-Constructs with own collectors/contacts? THAT would be cool...). Of course BOTH, official and fan-content would be awesome...

I know, most people here will laugh at me, but I try to think positive, Morpheus himself said it best: "We are still here!"

@topic:

At last, a merge of Recursion and Syntax is the only right thing to do. Same rules on both servers, one with population low, one with low - medium (sometime). A MMORPG where you meet about 3 - 6 people in 2 hours (Recursion), something is wrong...

Of course at last I wish to see a dozen servers, all filled medium - high, but that's a dream... (could be more servers again, could, if SOE would support the game as it deserves and do some advertisement, provide official trial-keys and so on... nobody chooses a game if he don't know about it's existance).

PRO MERGE SYNTAX & RECURSION

This is open to ALL INSTANCES!

Sorry for the stupid question, but does this mean that events would be organized on all servers? (Jacked in on Recursion)

Then I will be definitly interested

Greetings,

just a question about the live events at all:

Is it true that there is no announcement on the forum or elsewhere? And that I can only be part of it if I are lucky enough to be jacked in the matrix while the event takes place (which will never happen without beeing planned, because I'm located in europe)? Where do others get there infos from?

I'm a bit confused about that, playing MxO for some time now, and have never seen any live event, only after in this part of the forum...

Perhaps anybody can explain this to me, any help will be appreciated.

Thanks for any reply.
