Yeah, IMO we certainly need QA back up. Just one little problem I forsee with the Org Specific abilities though:

They’ll be earned
through each Organization’s graduation missions. We’ll be re-doing the
missions, so players who have already done the graduation missions will be
able to retake them to get the Abilities.

Soo... if I move from Mech to Merv and grind back up through
all those missions, what happens to my mech abilities? I presume that
they don't simple disappear from my inventory? They need to be
explicitly rep locked, or else it might be possible to use abilities from all three orgs.

**Fractor**

Finally those 'meet with' missions will actually serve a purpose and I wonder what these special missions are which you need to get in the white hallways. There will soon be plenty to do and no-one will say this game is boring.

Niiiiice.

Can't wait for the Org specific areas.

Archival Missions

Our current top priority is the introduction of Archival Missions. In short: All players will be able to play through the critical missions from past chapters for all three Organizations. These missions won’t affect your reputation with your current Organization.

Each Organization’s Archivist Vendor will have special tickets for sale for these missions. Players can purchase one and use it to launch the mission. When you complete these missions, you’ll earn a token that can be turned in later with other mission tokens for reward items.

The archival missions are now undergoing testing for release in Update 45. Then even new players will get to experience the full storyline of The Matrix Online.

White Hallways

No, not white rooms—white hallways. You know, the hallways that lead to backdoors in the system. Yes, they exist in The Matrix Online. And, after some time and testing, we plan on bringing them to you.

The plan is to make white hallways accessible by taking special missions. There will be three possible “backdoors”—one for each Organization. These doors will lead to special Org-only areas where Crews and Factions can meet in private.

The team’s been doing a lot of work on them over the past few months and we’ll begin testing soon.

I love you very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very much.

Fecking Awesome! You win, dev team. You win.

I'm assuming it is org specific area rather than faction because with the mission system it seems relatively simple to do. Accept a critical mission from your controller and then the mission leads you to a specific room in the white hallways which the rest of your org is also lead to. No other orgs can enter it because they don't have mission access. Either way I love it, really looking forward to just another piece of depth added to the matrix.

And I also think that QA will be big in testing out the Org abilities.

Brilliant overall.

**xenin**

This is absolutely awsome it really is, but will you make special areas for Cypherites and E Pluribus Neo as well? or is that in the future?

I literally jumped for joy at the White Hallways. Thank you!!

I wonder if the white hallways look the same as they did when I saw them many moons ago. :smileywink:

However, if they're finally opening them up, I wonder if the future could bring jumping from Debir Court to the Ascension monument, and such. And in a touch I would simply adore the team for, I wonder if the Machinist room could be the Architect's lair.

Speaking of inaccessible floors, perhaps the end of the Anome saga will require those infamous hallways somehow.
