I'm going to try to do something I haven't for awhile, I'm going to try through this thread to get through to SOE, others can help me if they like but my words will more or less have the most impact in this thread.
I've come to the conclusion that MxO is indeed being killed off, Rarebit's new approch is the cause. I'm not saying rare is to blame for this, I'm simply saying that I think this new approch of his is alittle off. As I have stated in another thread, I feel like MxO, which has been my 1 and only online game for 2 years is losing my intrest. I mean, really, why did you kill off live events in a game where they mean so much to the community?! I mean it was something to look forward to, and while we waited for one to happen, we pvped, rped, dueled or just stood around, oh and farming lol don't forget farming. I mean I cannot understand why SOE wants this game dead, it's a great game, and it's still got a story to unfold, mind you, lately, the story has been garbage, no offense to whomever is writing it, but it's not very fun. I remember back in the day when we would wait around for random things to happen, new threats to the simulation to come out and just attack people, I remember when the live events were so awsome you could bearly hold yourself back when they were over.
Now adays however, you give us content with a story that doesn't even back up the content. You give us a game where there is 1% interaction with the community and 99% npc related farming. Imho this is not what you should be doing to this game, you are treating mxo, just like you always have, as a second hand game and now you treat it as it's not even worth selling this game for 10 bucks! I'm sorry, just alittle frustraited. I remember when this game had a certain element to it, a certain vibe, that no other game could even come close to, but lately that vibe has nearly gone completely, and I myself am so close to hitting the unsubscribe button... I don't want to do this, but unless something is done, unless at least something intresting happends inside of the matrix, I will have to.
If you really, really cannot do live events anymore, for whatever reason, be it because you have other work to do, then why not let the players do their own live events, with the story charactors?
Devs, I'm giving you a chance to help this game, do something for it, I understand everything needs to be approved cause it is your job but might I suggest looking to the community to hold dev powers from now on, Give veteran players that know the story, that know how to rp good, give them the LE charactors and let us make our own story. Give these players the ability to run live events and make npcs outa thin air, I mean what could go wrong? Most of us here love this game, and we don't want to see it die, so why not let us help? We play this game for the interaction, not for the bs content that isn't even helpful in pvp. We play this for the real story the unfolding of the Matrix story, not some (no offense) halfa$$ed writen story that someone just wrote down once and didn't even really think it through.
Give these chosen players the ability to reward the community through there own live events. Most of us, even myself when I'm not working would be willing to do this for this game. We would be willing to help this game and you wont give us the oppertunity.
Think this through SOE, it could help this game in the long run, making players that love the game into devs that pay you to do the job you wont pay others to do seems like a pretty good offer. And unless I see some kinda response to my offer, some kinda, "we will think about it and get back to you" kinda comment, I will leave this game. And I'm sorry but this isn't really even alittle fun anymore, it's a waste of time unless something is done, it's a waste of my time to just farm random content and watch a story that isn't even remotely intresting unfold...
I, YOUR VALUED CUSTOMER, DEMAND YOU TAKE THESE WORDS TO HEART! Because if you don't, if you just ignore me like you have been doing for 3 years!!!! I will take my hard earned money elsewhere! And no, not to any SOE games, you don't value us as customers, you value us as suckers and I'm sick of it, give us what we want, a game where we are the people and we have some pull in where this game goes, otherwise, it wont just be me leaving, you wont have anyone playing this worthless shell you have left us to walk aimlessly in...
And I am through.
Despite that Skull's post is made up 99% of proof that he's about five times slower than the rest of the community, I do agree with one point. This new style of dev work seems like Rarebit's slowly phasing himself out, to the point where if he's replaced with a low-paid intern, none of us might really notice.
And technically, the game's been dead since the introduction of Mister Shiny No-skin.
Zippy, coming from you that means so much, I'm 5 times slower then the rest of the community! lolzattehsillysquirrel.
But really, I demand you people stop killing this game and at least try to help it, this new approch is not the answer.
So ... a game developer wants to spend more time developing a game instead of doing something that pretty much only utilizes the game's chat and battle features, and suddenly it's a conspiracy.

It's not a conspiracy, but the game chat and battle featurs of MxO is what made MxO MxO.
(yes, we're both referring to LEs and story-line)
All we would need is one event (per org) each update period. This, along with the new format, and we're back in business.
Good luck with the thread, Many try and fail to get any kind of response or help with these types of threads.
I do not normally get involved in these types of threads due to me thinking it is a waste of time....
But anyhow, I do agree that somekind of live event is needed even if it is just once a month or something.
There are a couple of Live events teams out there made by players who are struggling to get themselves going.
I personally am involved with GCET which is developing now, Why not let these groups have some kind of consumable to let off npc's or just somekind of mask for the events so they can be the character for their storyline.
Or even a donation of a prize for the event, minimum effort big returns.
SOE I personally can handle no events to a point but the refusal to help the small groups out there trying to salvage what is left of the shattered storyline of MxO, I cannot condone that.

Good... god.... My palm is attacking my face! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!
Not a conspiracy, just a Fail. Just like your knee-jerk apologist post here.
It's simple, the reason why MxO owned so much for going on 3 and a half years now was because the story, unlike in other games, had someone telling it, now we have NPCs and content that doesn't matter telling a half baked story about what? Overrides? Some random colorful people that seem to be all mighty??? These people aren't even really a story!!!! The story of the Matrix should be epic! Not half baked!!! ffs people come up with an original story for this game, one that will excite people, not drive them away!!! You need real people playing these people, NPCs are bs imho, and you can raise their lvls all you want, you can make them ubber and even able to call for backup like these new nubs, but the fact of the matter is, that no matter what you do, nothing will compaire to the awsome events we've had, where you could rp with someone that accutually matters in the story! Now all we get is bs content and npcs with nothing but text and alittle reused content.
Once again I demand a response from you SOE, and I demand it soon, because frankly, I'm getting sick of this bs.
Meh, everything that could be said has already been said. Goods, bads. Pros, cons. Suggestions and middlegrounds galore.
This topic is old.
At this point I'm just going to jack-in and let the people who really care about the game (i.e Rare and team) do what they can with what they have. And yes, that includes taking feedback from our various discussions. But preferably not this one, not with the levels of maturity being shown so far ¬_¬

Skull, I would love to hear you speak in real life.
