The Matrix Online Story Continues in Episode 11.3!

Starting with chapter 11.3, we are changing from our previous "critical mission" format. Watch the chapter 11.3 cinematic, and notice the area of the city pointed out at the end: at that location, players level 30 and up will find organization-based collector NPCs who will give them a series of quests in which chapter 11.3's story will unfold, with greater challenges and greater rewards--such as organization-specific items--than before. These quests can be repeated, and will remain in the game permanently.

Neighborhood Update: Tabor Park

• A new mission is available from the Chessman in Tabor Park
• The Tabor Park collector Michel gives a new reward item in exchange for the token given by the Chessman's new mission
• The Demon Head Medallions dropped by the Demon Army in Tabor Park can no longer be traded to other players
• Demon Head Medallions can be sold for increased $info, or traded to Michel for half that $info value plus XP
• Michel will exchange Demon Head Medallions for Demon Head Souvenirs, which can be traded to other players
• The NPCs Kimree and Bellix outside Mars Industrial Storage in Uriah now direct the player to the Chessman

Changes and Improvement

• Completing an org's archived mission subchapter, other than 1.1.1, now rewards the team leader with an IS Booster consumable
• The mission archive chapter FX reward items now remain active for five minutes. They can be reactivated thirty seconds after that
• Operatives killing a street gang boss now have a 10% chance of capturing reusable code that allows them to assume the boss' RSI
• Added user tip messages when reaching levels 3 (neighborhood mission contacts), 10 (Hyper-Jump), and 15 (Archivists)

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a typo in an Exile's chat in phase 2 of Pandora Box 4 mission 3, "Trial By Fire" (thanks Cadsuane)
• Sleepwalker submachine gun details text and collector text now mentions their slightly increased decay rate
• Men's Valshamr shirt now appears in the correct section of the Marketplace (thanks atomicus)
• Replaced accented letters that were causing text display problems in Merovingian missions 10.3.3 and 11.2.4 (thanks Nicksie)
• The contact in the "Get [x] from the desk" courier missions will no longer attack the player (thanks Remixermike)
• NPCs who have Aikido will no longer try (and usually fail) to use Ki Burst
• A.S.P. boss Capt. Sinclair no longer chooses between two RSIs on respawn
• Crow Bars Swaggerers, Swells, and boss Heckle no longer use Chisels gang boss Marcel's RSI
• King's Men boss Stephen no longer uses the RSI of 5 Points boss Party Boy Floyd
• Family timer durations are now capped to the recast timer of the ability that was used to trigger the family timer.  This will skip part of the recast sweep on the logic bomb and most of the code nuke abilities, as those are intended to only have 2 second recast times
• Crew Captains other than the Faction creator no longer have the Faction Disband button active
