The Matrix Online Producer Letter

**SolidRevolver**

I still cant get round the logic of all these trial users comeing in, and this is rewarded with a Cinematic cut, and we are left with the 2D story telling of the Sentinel and text in the Crits, we have lost the Cinematics which would add something very awesome to the story telling (Seeing the General running from Agents with that awesome music) now all we have to add something to the story telling is the Live Events... unless a LET is comeing in too, then MxO may have just lost its only factor that seperated it from all the other MMOs out there SMILEY

Phrack

...Sorry, was feeling nostalgic.

Welcome, to the desert of the real.

Here we have only the cold truth of reality.

That we are not important in the least, and that those above us do not care for us past our monetary value.

Thanks for the harsh reminder.

**TheUnknownShadow**

Really. You've just doomed yourselves to mountains of abuse at this "party" later, I hope you know that. Don't expect a happy bunch of players.

**machete**

That's when people who still cared for the game were in it. Look who the letter was from...

But I know what you mean Phrack...

Me n Star are screwed.

though tbh I don't care too much it just kinda sucks to see another downgrade. Also 10bux that "time has come to continue the story through other means" means "we got another budget cut"

I JUST WON TEN BUCKS

I'm only going to say this once... I understand some of you are upset, but if you can't post in a mature, civil, and constructive manner... we will have to give you a time out. Using inappropriate language doesn't help you.

**NightTrace**

Like I said elsewhere, lets start a pool on the amount of /silenced players, maybe even bans?

meh.

Now I'm just depressed when I was REALLY looking forward to this bunch of bs.

That does not promise any content/good news/effort.

They will cut features/costs until the playerbase is gone and THEN they will shut us down.

Thanks SOE for the consistent *CENSORED* you've given us over the years of our games span.

There will still be content.. Datamine for instance.

Please name one game SOE has ever closed down?

Yeah, because that will really help proceedings.

Truly and thoroughly dissapointing read. I'm left pretty downhearted right now.

This is precisely what has just happened.

We are no longer 'different' than other MMO's, because there are others out there with their own Live Events and newspapers.

Why not just use the programs that are already at your disposal (FRAPS, Adobe Premiere, Final Cut, etc) and continue providing us with cinematics?
Hell, someone who used to make MxO videos is now doing so for another game studio, having made trailers for use at E3 previously.

It isn't difficult, and practically costs NOTHING. There are still unused audio files for all of the LE characters, so where is the halt?

Really? When did the other MMOs get the IL system like MxO?

lol *CENSORED*... that's going to cause problems... anyone know swear words in a really rare language so we can get away with it?

Oh and really, Virrago I know it sucks to be the one now stuck in the middle of all this, but upset isn't the right word to use for most people. Admittedly, the cinematics had got a lot more basic and there were those who were complaining about them, yet (as others have said above) it was one of the things that set this game apart from any other.

The story and the story-telling has always been the back-bone of this game. That's why people got upset when Paul Chadwick wasn't doing things like the newspaper, when LESIG doesn't do its job, when an event seems boring. This game was meant to continue The Matrix Story. This is a step backward in that manner... unless the paper is of a high standard, and I'm talking really high, people are going to leave as they're going to get bored of the story and how it's shown to players.
