So where are we today storywise?

For a player that just got the game like me you certainly
have to do a lot of reading to get caught up. I have seen all these
threads recapping the story and obviously I've missed out on quite a
bit. So from what I gather morpheous was killed by that masked
assassin. As of today 8/18 where are we story wise? Since the servers
merged has any new content been introduced? What is each of the 3 sides
trying to accomplish currently? Also SOE/WB needs to have a sticky post
under each server's forums saying Timeline from launch to present. With
each event that has taken place on that particular server since they
could go either way from that data collection event. You can’t expect
average players to have to dig through countless links and read pages
upon pages just to get up to date with the story.

Hi Biggs,

For a quick overview of the story so far, I recommend you read the MxO Archive Timeline.
It includes the entire Matrix story, so you'll have to scroll down to
the game info, but it does provide a good summary.

The MxO Story Timeline thread
provides a lot more detail for those that want to dig deeper into the
story, and yes, it turned about to be a lot more reading that I thought
it was gonna be. :smileysurprised:

Thanks for the links SJ, I managed to find the timeline thread but boy
is it alot to read. I am sure it's a great thread so I need to finish
reading it to catch up I guess.

Recently, nothing has been happening. Since the merge and the
Monolith/SOE changeover, no storyline characters have been on at all.
SOE claims that gameplay issues are top priority, so when everything
has been more or less fixed, the storyline should continue. We hope.

As for a recap in the storyline, this is the EXTREMELY short version.

1. Red-Eyed/N30 Agents appear, carrying RSI Fragments containing the
last thoughts of Neo. Shapers appear and we have to escort them around.
Morpheus shows up from time to time saying that they're rebuilding
Neo's RSI.

2. Invalesco appears offering vampire powers to those that will join
him. He kills Feronus, his brother. Vampires/Lupines appear everywhere,
lots of killing. Chasing Inval through the streets. Riddle to find
Invalesco and people kill him. He claims he'll come back. Malphas and
Ookami, leaders of the Vampires and Lupines, are captured by the Mero.

3. Introduction of the Assassin. Also known as the "Pee-Wee's
Playhouse" event to some. Morpheus plants code bombs, fly virus gets
around, etc. Assassin kills Morpheus, kills Agent Skinner, and summons
big fly monsters. Newly-introduced Agent Pace helps kill them.

4. Introduction of the Novalis II. Neurophyte is trapped between
worlds, and we have to find her. Turns out she has a killcode and the
winning organization gets to vote on her fate. This continues to be a
point of question among many people because the different outcomes on
different servers results in slight problems with the merged servers.
Did Neurophyte live or die? Is she a Machinist or a Zionite? Stay tuned
for the climactic result!

Somewhere in there, the Cypherites were also introduced. Enmasacarado,
Gemaskeerd (sp?), and unknown higher leadership plot to put everyone
back into the pods. Big fights, searching for the bases, plans to
infiltrate/join, etc. The Assassin's also showing up now and again to
harrass us. Turns on pvp flags and *ZAP!* 10k damage done.

5. Neurophyte, upon recovering, wanders around the city fighting Red
Eyes (in the servers that saved her). Lightning comes from sky and
kills lots of agents. Doesn't work so well on the Assassin, though, who
smacks Neuro down. She hobbles off.

Insert more Assassin attacks, him being strange and pointing at stuff, and Morpheus look-alikes planting more code bombs.

6. Vashuo of the Novalis II is killed by someone within the crew.
Riddle riddle riddle... Oh! Toorima! You naughty girl! Bad Cypherite!
Anyway, she's also known as Veil.

7. Enmascarado hopes to have the Assassin kill Niobe, but he kills
Enmascarado instead. Fire Virus unleashed temporarily for good fun in
Mara C (turns on pvp flag and does damage).

And that's where everything has stopped temporarily.

Awesome post DragnMastyr that's just what I wanted to find out before I sat down and read everything.

If I remember correctly, they first appeared during the Hunt for Morpheus event. They appeared in the critical missions that were introduced in this chapter, and several NPC Cypherites started to appear throughout the city shortly before the Corrupted did. They even attacked Morpheus while Niobe was talking to him at one point.

Gemaskeerd (sp?)

Yep, that's the correct spelling.

correct me if i'm wrong.. but... it's a good time for new redpills to level up and get ready for the continuation of the story? SMILEY

Think so too. By the time events come back, they're lvl 50 xD
