Whats happened to MxO

**dragonmaster320**

Has it seem like after SOE got MxO that the game start to go down hill?
When WB had the game i rarly had problems other then lag. But now the
game is crashing every 30-45 minutes during battle. most of the time
near the end of a missions. when they do upgrade the world it seems
piontless like moving all the NPC lvls around and the HL. Is there
anything else you guys would like to see change and for the better.

I dont know man, its been good so far. Don't forget we got Pandora's Box from the SOE transfer.

The game would have died a slow death had SOE not aquired it. They are gradually fixing Monolith's somewhat broken game.

The game, besides the crashing, has actually been a lot better. A lot of the lag I had is now gone, and we have seen some pretty good things. Like PB, just give it some more time. MxO will be great.

MxO is in a state of massive changes, atm. SOE is fixing and tinkering with Monolith's engine to try to make the game better overall. The only new content to be released is Pandora's Box really, and we had one Live Event since the merger with the recent Cryptos storyline beginning.

Not much is really happening that you can see, but tons of work is going on behind the scenes.

I hope they fix it soon so we can start getting live events ...

I miss live events and I havent seen any main characters like Niobe walking around lately. I miss the old days sometimes.

I retract my previous statement lol. As of March 2nd I'm out. I do not feel the need that I should be paying to test the game for them.

I was kinda bitchy about SOE at first then I realized, they are doing all they can, and we should be patient with them.

I think they could have left the current combat system alone, but instead, they went through a lot of trouble to revamp it, like many were saying it needed to be, and now those same people are complaining about it, and saying it will ruin the game.

You know, I'm actually looking forward to Sony dropping the MxO project, because I've played several games where the original company either quit working with it or was forced to, and non-profit fan-based organizations would take up the flag and make the game even better without threat of said game being forced back under the company's tainted wing. And I think MxO would have a pretty decent...after life with a fan-based organization looking after it. After all, who knows the problems of a game more than the people who play it too much?

I really dont see that much wrong with the game, yea it does crash, it has its problems but they are workin hard to make the game how it should be. They are doing what every other company out there does to games, they make it better. You cant just leave it be and expect it to get better, you have to try new things. CR-2 will probably be the best thing to happen to the game in a while. After that, they can spend more time on live events and maybe giving a little more of what the public wants. But until something goes really crazy, then i dont see anything to really complain about.

Patience is the way to go, steady progress is being made and its getting better. Cr2.0 is only the first step.

Hey Gunslinga,

You have to put "SOE Management" on that sig - ROFLOL. Priceless.

You want to know what happened? I'll tell you. WB/Monolith Productions/Sega all wanted an MMORPG called The Matrix Online which would be a sequel the the movies. It featured cast from the movies as well as even being directed by the same director and having story done by the same guys. It was a great idea and attracted a lot of people in a short amount of time, especially considering it was released while the third matrix movie was still popular. Beta testing and forums showed a significantly higher demand to play than expected and so they went ahead and released the game on schedule.

After a series of updates the game was running smoothly and players were playing on the external play testing server as beta testers to help the dev team while also having alternate characters on the regular servers.

Things got pretty steady up until news broke that SOE was going to take over the MxO from WB. The forums became an uproar of protest and petitions started to try and save the MxO and the dev team. People threatened to cancel their accounts in protest but nothing mattered. SOE took over, people switched their accounts over to Station accounts and hardly anybody canceled their accounts.

Now here we are, it's spring and we've just had an anniversary of the public release of the MxO and everyone wants to blame SOE. Don't blame SOE, at least they keep the MxO going. If they shut it down, then you have a reason to be upset. For now just be glad that at least you can play.
