Come on PBlade, open your eyes to the all conquering truth here! The game has clearly been destroyed by blatant favouritism. I mean, it's not the lack of funding, the small dev team, lack of promotion, lack of exposure, the misplaced expectations, the crappy servers or the fading spotlight on an old franchise thats caused the issues down the years. Of course not, it's the sheer narrowminded favourtism shown by the devs to a small group of players that can do what they want, when they want. Because really, the devs are more than happy to urinate away SOE's money while pleasing 12-15 people out of however many thousands of subscribed players there is(was).Duh.

I agree with Yasa, I blame SOE because they just wanted the DC comics rights and cared very little if at all for MxO.

We also have to shift some blame on Warner Brothers. We know they troll the forums and have made it difficult for things related to The Matrix Online to be approved. They still OWN the rights and if they pushed SOE to do something, SOMETHING would be done.

Well, I guess it did not help that the coding language for the game was also diffacult for anyone to just dive in and change things in the mainframe without screwing something up. So yes, some blame shall go towards WB.

I would also really like to get those links, even if they're just in a PM.
Yeah, me too. Send them around on Xfire or something.
Ditto for me.

Scientists are working on this round the clock.
PM me the links please.
Oh, good call. I'll take a PM with links also.

Blast you. Well, that's my Monday ruined. *Sighs.*
Could I have a PM with the links too? Might as well see what all the fuss is about.
I'll agree with Yasa, the main reason we went down a sliding slope was more to do with how the game was being treated/looked at by SOE and the other factors all came into it because of that. I wish someone with authority at WB would have pushed more, but I guess after the game was no where near as big as they thought it would be, they washed their hands dry.
As for this info you have, I'll take any links if that's being made avaliable.

As for "Omega"--the name reflects the end of Rarebit's stint with MxO. The game keeps running as always--just without the 6-week updates. Celebration of year 4 is about one month away and we'll be running events just as we did last year. We'll have more details in the coming weeks.
Honestly, I wouldn't care if the name was simply "Omega." But invocation of the name "The Omega" implies a certain specificness that I don't need to point out, regardless of what Rarebit MEANT, just as I never MEANT that I was God by using the name Yahweh, it was MEANT as a reflection of something that held meaning as a bluepill.
So, while I appreciate you taking the time to address the concern, it doesn't smooth over the situation, and I doubt anything will.
My stint with this game will end on March 4. I hope everyone has fun with what time they have left here.
