I'm very happy with the news as well.
The idea that we can make the old critical mission again was a great idea.
Now, I can see the critical missions that happened right after Morpheus's death, and review all of the others to
The white hallways? I love it, I'm just trying not to die of exitment.
You'd think I'd be more excited.
Yay, white hallways. With a 100 mil info key.
Yay, Org specific abilities. With the only requirement to finish intro missions. Meaning they're not really specific if you do them all.
Yay....
Must be the pessimist inside of me. Strange. I'm sure I'll be more excited tonight.

They invest all their time in something and try to make it great, but player expectations are usually very high and it leads to disappointment. *Sigh* That's not good news. Thanks for the information, though. I guess I should check the Ask a Dev thread more often. Personally, even though there were less options and a lot more glitches earlier in the game, it seems to me that MxO has never been as good as it was during the first few months when we had events like The Race for Neo and the Hunt for Morpheus going on. But I guess we're never going to have events that big unless a lot more people subscribe to this game. Player-sponsored viral marketing campaign, anyone? Anyway, as far as the updates that we did get, it's looking really good. This White Hallway stuff sounds like it will really flesh out the game world... make us feel a lot more like we're really in the Matrix. I wonder if we'll be able to use the other doors like they did in the movie and acess different parts of the Matrix through the White Hallway. The archived missions and org specific abbilites sound great, as well. I wonder what kind of abbilities we'll end up with. I hope you'll only be able to access one org's abbilities at a time though, and also that they'll be some sort of story-related reason for who gets what abbility. Excellent update overall, if we get a few more updates like this, maybe soon everyone will love the game and the devs will have more time to work on Live Events!

Actually, it's not the temptation missions, it's the graduation ones that will give you the abilities. (I think lol) You know, the missions where your org's head would say some nice things about you and then give your male RSI a dress?
