What about the Support Techs telling us if we subbed After May 28th that our subs are no longer valid? Virrago your our only hope now.

Thanks for the update Virrago, glad something's in the works.

I know its not your fault, but this is all we get after hours, not even an eta? just one will be coming?

Also the issue of the lies of SOE support tech, I hadnt seen the email so was pleading with them but now I am compleatly baffled.

I Hope this is sorted soon i got my wife bitching about it because her account is fully deactived and there is no record of her EVER owning Matrix Online now >.<

This is not cool. I know your trying Virrago, and I as well as everybody else appreciates it, but this is starting to become really, REALLY unsettling and frustrating.

We've got people telling us that we're not allowed to play anymore and giving us this BS about an "Invisible deadline" that was neither mentioned in the Email we were sent or even heard about until now. Customer support has been all but useless to us, and we're getting pretty peeved.

Is this how SOE treats ALL their customers? Or just the ones subscribed to MxO?

So how do i get a refund when i resubbed a friend on the 1st june and then deleted the card details?

Can we get an update Virrago? Where do we stand? Seeing as we have CSRs telling us that the game is done.

So a bunch of us resubbed on the 28th/29th, JUST to have our accounts shut down after the 1st? When most of us has played since the beginning and we wanted to be here for the end? Funny stuff. WTG SOE, you rock!

I'm waiting for Live assistance now, but I looked at Raijinn's post again and I am so mad I didn't read it more clearly the first time.  No where in there does it say that we will retain our accounts after June 1st.  In fact, the wording of this is  very "You lose access after June 1st."  I've written semi-ambiguous stuff like this before while working in tech support.

How are The Matrix Online subscriptions refunded? / I just re-subscribed, how will I get a refund?
As of June 1, 2009 any currently entitled active player with an account in billing will not be billed again. For players who have previously purchased prepaid subscription time via a multi-month subscription service, SOE game time card or other retail game time card that extends the service period past June 1, 2009, SOE will refund these accounts for the unused time and where indicated will mail refund checks to the current billing address on the account. Please be sure to update your email and physical address in your Station Account as this will be critical to the refund process.

Are The Matrix Online subscribers going to be compensated for their loyalty to the game?
On July 31, 2009 at 11:59PM PST the ability to play The Matrix Online will cease. We encourage players to transition their active service to one of the other SOE games available for trial during the transition period of June 1 through August 1, 2009.

However, in the e-mail from SOE that a lot of people got:

Dear MxO Subscriber,

We want to inform you that on June 1, 2009, Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) will suspend commercial services of THE MATRIX ONLINE (MxO). However, SOE will continue to operate the game service and players will still be able to play MxO through July 31, 2009.

As of June 1, 2009, SOE will no longer offer customer support or provide updates for MxO, and active subscribers with accounts in good standing will not be billed after that date. MxO subscribers who have prepaid subscription time that extends their subscription period past June 1, 2009 will receive a pro-rated refund for any such pre-paid excess subscription payments*. Such refunds are expected to be issued by October 1, 2009.

My account resubbed on 5/30.  That sounds like "Good standing" to me.

What's the point of keeping the servers up if NO ONE CAN JACK IN.

I didn't get that letter.  Can someone who did get it forward it to me?  [email protected]

I appreciate it.

I'm having all these problems too, and just tipped off The Consumerist.

While SOE is certainly within their rights to do what they want (especially if they're giving us refunds anyways) it still leaves a really bad taste in my mouth as a consumer, and I think others should be warned.

I own EQ, EQ2, and Vanguard, and was honestly kind of thinking about trying any of those again (because it's so nice to play something that's an MMO and not WoW) but Sony can pretty much forget it after this.

The sheer amount of fail from SOE astounds me today.  This is quite possibly the worst customer service I've ever seen in all my 30 years.  We have never been treated this poorly.

If they are unable to restore access to everyone then they might as well shut this thing down now.  This is absolutely an outrage.

 

Agreed.
