Hello all,
As MxO is coming to an end, I thought that I would throw this out here, here in the General forum. For the past couple of years, I have been working, on-and-off,on a document that is an archive of the stories, locations, and characters from MxO. The main portion a synopsis of the storyline, from start to finish, but there is a lot of supplemental material I'd like to include. This information has been culled from various sources across the 'Net, and I have done my best to include credit where it is due.
I wanted to get from people is feedback on it. It's obviously going to be given away from free. But I want to see if people like how it's laid out, if there is more information that they would like to see, etc. Bear in mind that this is not a complete version, yet.
The PDF file is about over 1MB right now. You can download it here:

Was Neo's Body a MacGuffin? And a Few Other Long-Standing Questions

First of all, MacGuffin (found here) can be described as "a plot device that motivates the characters or advances the story, but the details of which are of little or no importance otherwise."
Way back in Chapter 1.2 (and seen in the cinematic) and in the MxO game manual in the box, the refusal by the Machines to return Neo's body sparked Morpheus' actions and the events that subsequently lead to his death. However, since his death, Neo's body has been all but forgotten; but the question always remained, "What happened to it?" And thus begs the question: was it ever going to be revealed what happened to it? At this point, it's been almost 4 years. I'm curious if plans changed to reveal this or if the intention was to never touch upon it again. If it is the latter, then it leads to two more questions:
- It is mentioned in the Assassin's Memoirs that the Assassin was denied recycling Trinity's body, and that it had an unusual device connected to her neck / cranial jack. Again, this mystery has not been touched upon again. Why is that? Another MacGuffin?
- Around Chapter 6.2, the remnant of Neo's RSI was placed in Westview in the basement of that fight club. IIRC, Rarebit had stated it was requested by Chadwick, and I had thought something was planned for the "body." Yes, a couple of years later, nothing has come of it. Why is that?
Anyone have any thoughts on this? Is anyone else curious?

This kind of got buried in the "complete storyline" thread, so I'm starting a new one.
Basically, this is something that I started a couple of years ago. I have been compiling a storyline archive of MxO, from resources such as MxOstory.com, Rarebit's summaries, and mission summaries here. It features Chapters 1 to 11.1, and is supposed to serve two functions: one, for a newcomer to the game wanting to know what's happened so far, you can point them to this PDF and say, "Here you go." Second, with the information across so many different sites and places, I wanted one central document that contains, essentially, the "history" of the Matrix Online, as the story is so depth it merits saving, in case the game were to ever close.
What started as a storyline document turned into adding characters, locations, Exile gangs, and even things like the Assassin's Memoir. I'd love some feedback. Here is a link to download the latest version:

Here's what I thought would a good topic: suggest quest content that could be implemented in the game.
Example: I suggest giving all of the mob bosses special versions of their drops (like, the Crushers' boss could drop a special Hammer) that can be collected and traded in for a reward.
All Richland mob bosses' drops could traded in for a lower level item. Same with Westview for a higher level item, and so on and so forth for International and Downtown. There could even be a special reward for trading in all 4 districts' rewards.
Something similar could be done for the hideout Exiles' bosses in the districts.
This would give new players an incentive to move explore the city more and get some additional, permanent content in the game.
How about you guys? Have a suggestion (or feedback on this one)?

(I posted this in the "Ask the Dev" thread, but someone suggested I place this here.) I know we don't have a quest system, but couldn't the email system be used in a sort-of quest system? I've been playing 9Dragons and one thing I like is how you gain new missions as you level up or hit other milestones. Couldn't a system be put in place that could email players non-tradeable "golden ticket"-type missions based on leveling up, hitting a certain number of CQ points, etc.? Just a thought.

Hey there. I'm wondering if there are any screenshots of Morpheus' speech with Neo's RSI from an event a few weeks after launch? You know which one I'm talking about. It would be appreciated. Thanks!

While you're waiting for the servers to come up, check out the new cinematic: http://thematrixonline.station.sony...cs/6.1_high.wmv I wonder who was watching Sati and Seraph... the General perhaps? Or one of his commandos? Or someone else entirely?

From an "in-character" perspective, I am something of an archivist and collector. I am looking for various recordings and documents within the Matrix, mostly those obtained from Machinist and Merv missions. These are:
- Cryptos recordings from the Machinst and Merv missions (particularly the one where he is speaking to an Agent)
- Documents 1-12 of the Assassin
- I have a recording of Morpheus speaking to an unknown redpill, where he is talking about how "he could be anyone... him, or even her". But, if there are other known recordings of Morpheus, and you are willing to sell, let me know.
- I have a recording of Persephone and the Merovingian after they meet the Assassin (Persephone is coughing in it). If there are other, different recordings, I'd be interesting in purchasing.
If you are willing to part with any of the above, let me know. Send a tell to "theorydust".

It has been months since the cinematics page on DN1 has been updated (and the links don't even work- the have a space appended just before the zip file's name in the hyperlink). I was curious: will the newer cinematics be added at *some* point? We're up to 3.2 and they're still stuck at 1.3.
