With all due respect to everyone who still plays this game and have been loyal customers and fans for so long... why is this thread stuck at the top? I thought it was more than obvious when MxO went to SOE in the first place that they were just going to wait for it to bleed out and die. Once enough people get bored of it and leave that running the servers isn't profitable anymore they're going to kill it, this game's playerbase is incredibly low for an MMO as it is.

Don't get me wrong, I was in the beta and played from launch to when it went to SOE, but due to bad experiences with SOE and their other games and services I left. I'm back now because I needed a break from CoH and it's one of the only other solid sci-fi/modern day setting MMOs out. It's a great game with a LOT of potential, but that potential is clearly lost and they're not planning on realizing it. Ever.

I mean come on... There are two gun models for each gun type except the pistol. How hard is it to throw out some content updates with new models and character customization additions? They probably don't even have anyone still on the staff to make such things, let alone the time and money to impliment it. I have to assume they were originally planning or atleast hoping to eventually put in melee weapons too.

I'm amazed this game is still going and that they even bothered continuing with updates for as long as they did, and I'm happy for that, but you have to realize continued story updates is pretty much one of the last things they're bothering with here and that's going to be the next thing to die when it's no longer profitable. Your energy is better spent in other areas than shouting at SOE from the depths of a game they stopped listening to a long time ago. If they had the manpower, time and money to keep things going and improve them I'm sure they would.

Well thanks guys. Guess I just picked a bad time to start up again. Does this also explain why I see so few players playing Zion in the game, or has that been a thing for a long time now?

Sorry in advance if this question has been answered somewhere else, and thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to answer nicely. (I've had problems on forums with people who would rather take the time to read the question and then post complaining about how the person didn't do a search and find the question answered somewhere else than just answer it there.)

I am rather constantly being attacked in the International and Westview areas by Agents, but more importantly.. in areas that were previously restricted that I used the access key at to make them NOT restricted. I was sortof under the impression that the entire point of doing so was to make that sortof thing not happen.

Now while I understand that being chased by a level 50 or so agent at lower levels can be a fun, intense gameplay mechanic, and at higher levels make you feel cooler because now you're strong enough to actually take them on instead of running... Being regularly chased by level 100 agents (and on one occasion, a level 255 or something "Agent Jones" or whatever his name was) who kill me in two shots and never miss is not really fun at all. This is an otherwise decently-made game and I'd like to think the developers had more sense than that. If I'm totally doing something wrong here and somehow earning all these agents that are after me, let me know, please.

I quit MxO before it went to SOE and recently tried to start playing again but inputting my old code from the box is giving me an error saying it's an invalid code. Is this because I already registered it when I first made my account? And is there any way to get my old characters and stuff back? Or did I miss out on that and I have to start over again and get a new box?
