Yes, as the producer, it does ultimately land on me when things go wrong for MxO. I won't argue that fact or point fingers in other directions. If I inject a bit of humor at this point, it's because I'm disappointed as well--both in the ending of MxO and in not finding ways to change the direction of the game.

Is there more I could have done? I'm sure there was. Hindsight can bring things into unfortunate and painful clarity at times. So I try to remember all the good things about this game and it's community and hope to learn from past mistakes so I can do better in the future. Too late for MxO, sadly. But not too late for any future projects I'm responsible for.

I wish we could keep at least one server open. The option was looked into, but it wasn't feasible. So we have to retire the game and that makes me immensely sad. I understand the anger completely.

Now we just need Keith01 to log on and say "I blame Walrus" to complete the circle.

Walrus, thanks for the straight talk.  I know it is sincere and genuine.  This isn't the first community I've been a part of where the product was cancelled.  It's hard on the users who put in so much time, and the developers who put their blood, sweat, and tears into the product.  I haven't played in a while, but it's still sad to hear things are shutting down.

I've been debating whether I want to log in for the finale, or just keep the fond memories from the end of beta and afterwards.  Apparently, I no longer have the option to resub.  I'm ok with that, but it would be SWEET if you gave past subscribers free access for that last few days. Imagine the insanity!

As far as the state of the franchise, that sits squarely on the shoulders of the Wachowski's.  As for myself, I will continue to enjoy the movies from time to time.  Thanks for everything.

I'm catching up on the story in the mission archives after being away for a while.  I've been reading the threads about players taking over the story from here.  I've never really participated in the RP world, so I'm kind of a noob in that area.  Have players been creating their own stories up to this point and playing them out in events?  If so, how do you participate in that?  All I ever see on the MxO Player Events page are contests and radio stations.  Or is this just about knowing the story so you can write in the RP section of the forums or stay in character in the game and keep it all in context?

Wow, Rarebit, I didn't see that coming.  Thanks for everything you have done for the game and the community.  I've been meaning to jack back in and check out all the new stuff you added, especially in the past year.  Maybe I'll go ahead and do that.

By the way, I ran across this job opening on the same day you wrote the Thank You letter.  You were the first person that came to my mind, but I figured Rarebit is the last person I want to walk away from MxO.  Little did I know you were already leaving.  Anyway, if you're up for Norway, it could be an adventure. 

Whatever you are doing, I hope it brings more joy, peace, happiness, and cheesy toast into your life.   Later dude. 

• This will be a free-for-all PvP area.  You can gank enemies and friendlies alike.
• You will enter the construct through your normal archivist with a book, or as someone else suggested, through the Construct section at a hardline.
• You will spawn randomly at one of the 7 proxies inside.
• You will be flagged PvP upon entering the area or upon tapping a data node.  I think the former, because the 7 random proxies are probably there to help prevent spawn camping.
• Any level can enter, but at your own risk.  In other words, don't show up unless you can protect yourself or you're with someone who can.
• Data mining will be increased ten fold.
  

• I'm not a big fan of PvP, especially the Archives, but this one is different.  This is PvP with a purpose.
• This will be the most dangerous place in the game, but the rewards will be great.  Greed is the name of the game.
  
• It looks like there are plenty of places to hide and data mine when you are alone, if you can get to them.
  
• Factions: You can finally claim a piece of real estate as your own, but it will be up to you to keep it.  This may get better if/when the buildings are opened up.
  
• Data mining is actually worth something now.  I need to get my abils back.
  
• What are you gonna do with all that info?  Uber gear should be on the way.

I keep searching phor HL's in every shot. lol

For all we know, Dracomet may be working equally as hard on this but isn't being vocal about it like Rarebit is.
I think he's a bit forum shy....

Well all we need is some Dracomet treat.  " />

Hah and now I've already had to redo that area. Oh the joys and mysteries of navmesh!

• Everything that has a Beginning...
• Finished Chapter 8.3 to round out the site.
• Placed a link to RMC:Terminal's Buddy Key Request thread on the main page.
• MxOResource.com is down. I fixed a few broken links, but several remain. I understand a new site is under development, so maybe some of that content will return.
• Updated the Game Developments page
• Updated the Neighborhood Contacts page with Sugaree's reviews of Synn and Mercury (Reloaded).

Hi sugaree,

Did you write reviews for Rose and Cerulean?  I've been linking to all of your reviews from my website (http://mxo.mxostory.com/neighborhood2.html), but I don't have links for those two.

Thanks!

Sure did!  Check out my blog- manifoldmischief.blogspot.com for both.
