I'll definitely be missing the 2-person emotes, the Matrix world itself, the RSIs/clothing, and (mostly) everyone, really. MxO brought a few good things into my life so i'm sentimental about it, and hate to see it go now that the choice has been taken away.

I'm going to miss that special feeling I got whenever I spammed these forums...
There truly is no other forum I've been to where spam has been so well recieved. =P

HOLY *CENSORED*!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is something I'll miss.

I'll miss those first few live events when MxO first went live. The amount of effort that went into those first events, with the special spawns, weather effects, ever-changing billboards, and the random clues lying on the ground put them in a league of their own and they will be sorely missed.

I'll also miss when the outcome of live events actually meant something. You really had to work for it.

 

I agree. Those events were perhaps the most fun I ever had playing any videogame period.

It was really the hope to expeirance that level of greatness again that kept me subscribed so long.

Thanks PZ, was looking for that pic's url.

Im going to miss everything, there is no one thing or another for me.

Hyperjumping, Emotes, Tells ( I do that in real life sometimes the whole /tell thing lol)

The exploring, the ralleys, the rain

Most of all the people, so many memories that I wish I had video of some of the fun times, but back then my comptuer could barely run the game, heck my first screenshots I had white hair!

I'm going to miss all of the glitches that made me ragequit.

i will miss my coding archive!  and the feeling of community!

Well this was my first mmo and I am going to miss everyone and if I ever join a new mmo will be comparing it to all the others.

I also will miss the awesome hairstyles and clothes.

Hyper Jump! I will really miss that.

Being as a hacker kill muliple npc's.

The boss masks.

Heck I am so going to miss this game.

You know, I'm actually going to miss the Recursion Drama, ahh it was fun in a weird and twisted kinda way.

Bayamos, many thanks for the elaborations on these... tricks.

Not sure if I'll be able to try it (there's only so much time I can afford to spend on MxO nowadays), but it was interesting, anyways.




To react to this thread's topic, I think, when it comes down to it, the only thing I'll be missing is the Mega City.

I know it's not exactly a Great Work of Art - all the creativity that makes it interesting is mixed with a portion of lazyness and monotony (copied&pasted buildings/textures/plazas/etc.), some design flaws (most of all the non-matching interior/exterior in buildings), inaccuracies / lacking connection in regard to the source material, some audiovisual flaws, etc. etc. - but when it comes down to it, the City with its ATMOSPHERE, looks, music and design fills me with a beauty I'll be quite sad about "losing forever".

Apart from the enjoyment of running through the world, exploring an area or taking interesting screenshots, it's also inspired me to some drawing - with one or two QUITE decent results, considering I've never done that before.

... Hence my obsession with this "Matrix Offline" thing, as it would preserve pretty much the only aspect of MxO I still really care about.



In regards to all the other aspects, I (sadly?) have never been involved in live events, player events, RP, or any sort of "community thing" outside forum discussion, so while I'm sure I've missed out on a lot, I can't say I'll "miss it" in any way.

I used to be quite obsessed with following the storyline when I was playing, but with time, this interest wore off, as well. It basically went from "exciting official continuation of the Matrix franchise, with all the answers and secrets revealed w000000t" to "some piece of fanfic I don't have time for anymore - might as well get sucked into the Star Wars Expanded Universe".

After all the time, I've slowly become disillusioned with all the flaws, loop holes and (in my mind) decreasing connection to the source material, and just lost interest.

So while I would be potentially interested in spending some time on catching up on everything (Othinn's event logs, everything that's happened since I've left), ultimately I've left that all behind.





So yea - Mega City. That's all.

As long as the servers open up again (lol), I'll try to spend some time on exploring the city's geography (never done that properly, to my own surprise), running around the world and looking for drawing ideas.

**** you, PZ. You just crashed my work computer.
