I was really sad to hear this news, though I knew someday it would come. I haven't been active in a couple years, though I have stopped by here and there to keep my character. It's different though when you leave on your own, you make that choice with that you can always return at anytime, its not the same when that choice is made for you.
What I felt instantly when I read the email this morning was a wave of saddness, memories and the sad acceptence that after next month I will never step foot into the Matrix again. Though people from the outside may laugh at the fact were sad about a game ending it's so much more then that. First of all alot of real life friends have been made through here, alot of real world events have been hosted and even some have found true love. Its not just a game it's a real breathing world and alot of people may lose touch with each other over some time.
Second nothing came close to MXO MMO wise, I know there are other games like WOW or LOTR but it still doesn't have the same realistic vibe the Matrix did, I feel like a part of my young adult life has ended. Most people don't realize the Matrix itself is now over a decade old!! Its a huge part of alot of people's lives and with this game ending, it's both bittersweet and a shame such potential was washed down the drain.. There were people wanting this to succeed, they didn't see that as valuable enough I guess but alas..
There is a silver lining as small as it may seem, We have one month to get everyone back into the game to share the last of our Matrix Redpill lives togather, Go out in style. Forget the past, forget the bitterness you may have for one another and enjoy what little time we have left. In hindsight looking back at some issues they seem so trival and silly, My sincere apology to anyone I may have had problems with in the past
I'd like to ask faction leaders and crew members to spread the world and rejoin before June 1st to have one last journey togather, I will also be putting togather one last major PvP battle to go out with a major bleeping bang!
Though most may wait till july to actively jack in, it's still a wonderful way to say goodbye. The last day is 31st I propose a two day pvp battle before hand on each server. I want one last memory before my jack is unplugged for good.
