Today we were met with some account access challenges with regards to the cessation of billing process for the eventual closure of The Matrix Online servers. Active MxO customers were informed that June 1st was the cutoff date for active subscriptions to be eligible to participate in the world ending events (as outlined in the e-mails notifications that were sent out to active subscribers when the service closure was announced).  When word of the announcement spread, many players took this as an opportunity to hop in and subscribe one last time to spend time with friends and server-mates in The Matrix Online.

When service to those that subscribed prior to the June 1st date was removed today, there were many players who were left wondering what happened and what all was going on.  Unfortunately, there was an issue where accounts that subscribed after May 27th and before June 1st lost their MxO access.  Also, due to some technical issues, some customers were able to subscribe after the June 1st cutoff date up until the 4th and these accounts lost access as well.

We are pleased to announce that those who were able to subscribe prior to the removal of the subscription page will be able to participate in The Matrix Online until it’s official closure on July 31st at 11:59PM PDT.  We are currently in the process of re-granting access to the accounts that were able to successfully subscribe between May 27th and June 4th and will have those folks back in game as soon as possible. 

There is no need to contact customer service regarding the reactivation as we have a complete list of accounts that fell into the categories mentioned above and all accounts on this list will be flagged when the process is completed. We do not expect to encounter any further issues with this as the subscription process for MxO is now officially closed.
 
We’d also like to extend our apologies to our MxO community regarding the challenges of today and let you know that we appreciate your understanding and patience while we sorted everything out.

A Corruptor-sized THANK YOU to  Raijinn, Virrago and Walrus for riding this out for us and getting everything squared away.  Reinstatement of everyone who resubscriped even after June 1st is more than I had hoped for.

Yes, thank you Virrago, Joel, and Walrus for this information regarding our accounts. Now lets get to some real issues like what am I going to wear during the parties!

We've actually mentioned that this only applies to accounts that have successfully subscribed to The Matrix Online so trials won't be included. Sorry!

It is possible but that script hasn't been run yet so we'll have to see. I believe that will be the case though.

Any time that is left on your account after June 1st will be returned back to you via refund. You'll also be able to play until July 31st so that's pretty much where we're at on everything.

Many thanks for your answer Raijin , btw. my account now works SMILEY

Another Question : i had subscribed at 1th June, but i was billed with subscription fees (so was that right, that subscribers after 1th June can play for free until the end ?).

Another Question to the following part of the announcement :

"with regards to the cessation of billing process for the eventual closure of The Matrix Online server"

Does this means that eventual there is a chance that MxO still stays online?
Sounds like the big resonanz of old players should make you thinking about a new solution ?
