Indeed, operative!

Regarding the SWG-NGE fiasco, this quote:

We've learned a thing or two with our experiences with the NGE and don't plan on repeating mistakes from the past and not listening to the players.
—John Smedley, president of Sony Online Entertainment

Apparently, they still haven't learned. They can add MXO on to their list of community relations disasters.

Dunno if it's official but there have been some old liasions around on Syntax. There's also been some other events on Syntax and Vector. Dunno about Recursion.

Yes. LESIG is still around, and doing some events on Syntax and Vector.  I remember seeing a post by Merrit not too long ago..

Was looking through some of my old PMs, thought this was cool to share.

I had been talking to the ex-MxO dev, HCFrog about an interview for MxO Resource (for non-old timers, this was arguably MxO's most popular fansite) right as he departed the game.  If you remember, he had been working on the Org abilities at the time.  This was the last PM I got from him.

What he said was very true, and it's unfortunate to see MxO not get the attention (from all angles) it would deserve if things didn't happen the way they did. I personally invested alot of time in MxO, and it was good times. But I guess I'm one of those few that can't appreciate it for what it is anymore, not to belittle the attempts of Rarebit, 9mm, Dracomet, or the rest of the team--but MxO's gradual loss of player base is more apparent now than ever.

Just thought it was worth sharing.

I'd do all this... YES, ALL of it!!! muahahaha

The new content is... an interesting take on the storyline.  I think it has potential to be geared a little better to make it last these next weeks until another patch.

We all hate grinding, but I really don't see a big issue with the storyline.  This encourages low-levels to team up with 50s in order to complete the missions, which is after all what an MMO is supposed to do.

I'm sure we all get tired of the Kill -> Loot -> Collect -> Trade game, which is essentially what MxO has become.  Not that that's a necesssarily bad thing, but if that's what we're limited to, I say make the content more challenging, or interesting. Have a world spawn that only spawns a certain day or days of week that drops an item that is essential to getting a pretty uber item or something similar.  I know the Danielle spawn is static.  Don't, however, require us to farm needless amounts of "x" item to trade for "y" item, as that's just farming for the sake of farming.

Flood a building with re-spawning story-related NPCs with a weaker boss at the top that drops a new consumable or make use of that tool slot!  For this chapter, for instance, spawn a crapload of Wright Accelerated Programs in a Hampton Green building, or the Accelerated Suits (which would make even more sense), to give us a feel like the actual Matrix as a world is being overrun.

I think alot of focus is being put on missions, when there's alot you could do with the world as well.

Seraph ftw!

What is the Matrix?

The Oracle doesn't didn't give choice she merely understood why Humans needed it thus allowing the system to give Humankind a subconscious choice and for the system to stabilise. The first couple were failures because she had not found the reason why during those versions. She was only an intuitive program. Zion is not the source of choice either it was just a place where those who did not accept the choice subconsciously could live once freed and facilitate the cycle.

Also where is it said that Zion existed before the stable versions of the simulation? It was said that there was a man born inside the Matrix who learned how to shape it to his own ends, well if he was born and survived, like all those in the previous ones didn't because of lack of choice, then Zion would have been created during the first stable iteration or at the end of the first.

How many times did the machines destroy zion will answer that...

What actually happened:

• Machines defeat humanity
• Multiple failures at making the Simulation work
  
• The Oracle discovers that choice is needed
• First successful version of the Matrix
• First emergence of "The Anomaly"
• First destruction of Zion
• repeat "anomaly cycle" x5
  
• Neo becomes The One, fulfilling the prophecy and breaking the Anomaly cycle during it's sixth iteration
  
• Neo stops Smith and Matrix is rebooted (ignoring beta testing and launch reboot ... not considered canon)
• Current version of the Matrix is #7 (counting from the first emergence of the Anomaly)
  

The matrix never rebooted.

Shadow... we can already email multiple attachments (9)

You gotta change the story chapter, Shadow. Unfortunately, SOE-made cinematics are now also apart of the dream update.

xp by level guide? /wink
cost to level ability? /smile

I'm getting excited as Broadcas Depth nears initial release status. There are three content pages left to complete before initial release, and some odds and ends that can be worked on after.

Broadcast Depth initial release will include only the "Resources" menu, with Guides and Walkthroughs coming later (as well as other sections). I know we've all been waiting quite a while, so I'm glad we're almost out the gate. I will make a new thread when the ship can be brought up to Broadcast Depth.

Broadcast Depth - The Real World Guide to MegaCity

Well I verified the other information with the stuff I could actually get a hold of and it checked out ok.  I just couldn't verify these.  But the lesser versions they listed on the site and the versions I found on the Marketplace were accurate.

Mm, on second inspection, no, I don't think they're accurate either.  :/

Good luck!  I'm waiting!
