I'm all for having some kind of semi-official player run storyline and I have more than a few ideas I'd like to work into it. Rare's outline gives us a definite roadmap and I'd would die happy to see it brought to life. But on a practical level, I'm seeing it hard to pull something like this off, considering the fact that there's some players who are outright hostile to RP and considering some of the power plays that a few individuals have made. And then there's the ones who came out with some suspension of disbelief-derailing ideas (e.g. Gothique claiming to be a vampire in the Real). Please don't think I'm bashing this idea: I love it and I'm excited about it. I'm just concerned how some elements in the player base will react to it...

Rarebit is giving us the rest of the story for a year, all the way to the end. Also, I think the suprise items are story character RSI Captures. If so, it could be done.
Yep, he isn't gone quite yet!

Well he said he was leaving Friday 13th, so I'm still expecting an IR and a few Dev screenshots before that date.
I just wonder where people are gonna go with this RP wise.Hard to roleplay the situation in the Matrix just "stopping", lol.
We taking Rare's story as already having played out and now we're continuing past that point? (I know he said not to, but I can't help but take all that outline stuff as official and would be inclined to RP myself post Chapter 14).What about everyone else? You taking it as happened, us being stuck in time, us in a generic matrix setting with no bearing on the central plot, half way through at any point (be pretty lame to just leave the oracle dead and whatnot) or anywhere inbetween?

I know that, it's just I hadn't seen him post since the announcement.

Please, it's not as brain-breaking as some stuff I've seen -.- Case in point, the player characters claiming to Neo and Trinity's son... when the kid would, at the most, be only ten years old...
I say we wait a bit, I'm not so sure continuing the main story would be possible or agreeable to everyone but I'm definitly all for at the very least a new stream of events like AB or something if nothing mainstory wise pans out.
When it comes to player-events (in whatever context or game) I'm usually up for participating and I'm usually optimisitic.
However, MxO just seems to have very few people willing to participate. Sure, I've seen many post on the forums. But I've seen very few actually take part. Many come and go for the lulz. Others won't go because it isn't canon.
Oh, I dunno. I guess for once I'll have to be pesimistic.
I'll be with MxO until the bitter end, so you can count on my support, but right now I'm waiting to see how SOE reacts.
