Will be interesting to see what happens in 1 year... hopefully at least a good ending is prepared just in case...

They can't end until STO comes out... what else can I play until then? I'm not playing in a fantasy setting...

Oh, come on. NT's last post made for the perfect final comment of this Producer's Letter. 
I'll also be interested what a year from now brings. Unless something drastically reduces numbers, SOE probably reassigns budgets once a year or so, so that could be when we start to see an end to much more.

...HaHa...if we're lucky they will keep the site long enough for Rarebit to post a story summary.

Corrupted Code Man shuts down the Matrix and the Machines. Humanity lives happily ever after.

Humanity dies in the pods, Zion survives for a few months before the loathing for the Machines turns inward to loathing for each other, factions start to battle for control, death, suffering, disease. Zion dies, Earth is a barren lifeless rock in space.... The end. Fixed...

Aliens clear the sky, the Machines and humans dance and skip merrily in the sunlight, Pace and Ghost get married and have cyborg children. The little tykes are then sent back in time to save/kill Sarah Conner.

Fall my moans I always wish the best for MxO but I see the story having less and less significance, being seen and influencing fewer and fewer players.... Live events, these forums and player content are simply not seen by enough players to keep the story in its rightful position, taking away the cinematics removes the attention grabber, the thing that make someone want to get involved (for all the story developments that scream at you you dont matter ) The return of the sentinel is cool of course and perhaps events will scale properly to the player level at last, spend less time reading us stories of places we can never visit and make events in the matrix relevent once more. The player needs to be made to feel there's a point to logging in, we need to feel theres a threat, that we can make a difference and the environment needs to be consistent with the story (or vica versa). Chadwick wasnt really to blame for the story, what was needed and what is still needed is someone knitting and integrating story and content, someone brave enough to say just because we can do something doesn't mean we should or just because the story could do that doesn't mean it makes sense to do so in this mmo. I believe Rarebit will do something positive in that area with his new level of control, but for many like myself I dont see any way to "believe thats air I'm breathing" ever again. The trend to date has clearly shown damage is easy to cause and difficult to mend.

Well said, Vinia. Though based upon research, it appears that it won't take the removal of the Machines from the picture to cause Zion to turn in upon itself as it is supposedly already happening.

K, so after 250 responses im sure im beating a dead horse, but.... They were 1-minute Black and White comic book pages with some voice-overs... And yer telling me that SOE doesn't have the resources to continue making them? For crying out loud! Thats just ridiculous.

LOL. Of COURSE they still have the resources. SOE has the resources to turn MxO into the greatest MMO of all times. The fact of the matter is that, for whatever reason(s), SOE chooses not to allocate any resources to MxO, aside from our 3 staffers and some forum mods

Forum Moderators are not SOE Staff, they are volunteer player appointees similar to LESIG.
