For the future... next one to go down is Planetside (lack of customers), followed by SWG (lack of customers after SWTOR goes live).... and from what I heard SOE is going to get the shock of a lifetime whenever the agency goes live , I'm kind of looking forward to it... the shock, not the agency

Why would they get the shock of a lifetime?

From what I've heard, Vanguard is actually the next one on the chopping block.  I have no idea why SOE continues to keep Planetside around, but whatever.  And SOE will definitely get a shock with the Agency, and I look forward to it as well.

What suprises?

1. Out of all of the emulator projects that I've witnessed/been part of, for The Matrix Online, nobody has been able to get past the whacked out encryption going on in the packets sent between the client and the server.  An inability to crack the encryption means that the process can't be reverse-engineered or duplicated.

2. SOE will also never release the files to the public, in any degree.  Mainly because even if they wanted to (it's not something they're known for doing, for one), it isn't their property to be releasing to the public.  It belongs to Warner Brothers Interactive Entertainment.  SOE has just been the baby-sitter for the better part of the last four years.

I know someone, who is most definitely not me, that would be willing to pay any SOE employee to release the above information to certain individuals.

Hmm, how soon could it be done?

Wasn't Speed Racer a bomb?  They may run out if they keep making bombs.

Ok, so this is a big one, Reinsertion.  Was Rarebit going to leave it as "Reinsertion was a lie" or was there going to be more to it?

So on MMORPG.com, on the Matrix Online forums, they're talking about MxO 2. It's a pretty good joke...

I concur.

How do we know NCSoft or Outspark won't just do the same thing SOE did?  I love MxO, I do.  However, if all they're going to do is give us a server and that's it, with no new improvement to the game, then honestly I'd rather MxO die.  Unless NCSoft or Outspark promise to give us Devs, to give us the things we need to make this game great, then there's no point in going from one evil to another.

And guys... an Alternate Reality Game is not the same as Live Action Role-Playing Game:

An example of an Alternate Reality Game would be The LOST Experience, which was amazing:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_experience

Listen to Wikipedia.  It is ghost-written by the Oracle.

Yea, but it'd be kinda cool if LARP was incorporated into the ARG.  I mean throughout the Matrix movies, Animatrix and MxO, you had characters and players interacting with one another and their enviorment.

The last thing I need is to sign up for this, only to have a couple of unshaven, overweight dorks in trenchcoats show up to my home while I'm in my boxers, claiming that they're there to show me how deep the rabbit hole goes.

I've actually seen pics of MxO players...and I don't think anyone in the community is overweight.

Here are the things I'm going to miss.

1. The Community

2. Hardlines, I agree, travel in other games suck.

3. Hyperjumping.

4.  All the parties

5.  Just hanging out at Mara or Camon

6.  Seeing the characters such as Gray or Niobe.  Veil was the best.

One event where we used the then new White Hallways at the Loctus Hotel.  Veil got us lost!  After awhile I just gave up finding her and the rest of the group lol.

That simple. To you Mr. Walrus I won't bash you, you know yourself what you could have/should have done over the past 4 years to spice up the game- rehire a LET dev to look at the database comes to mind.... but I can tell you this, SOE is blacked out from my future online purchases... to remedy the situation just a bit - Why don't you let one of those three DELL's stay active cause right now the whole "SOE will never shut down a game as long as people plays it" sounds a bit hollow now, and yes... I'm disappointed and pissed off at the way we've been treated by SOE as a community and ultimately that lands on your table... I do find it interesting how you did remove yourself from MxO years ago though... so blaming it on Keith just isn't going to cut it. That is all.

Yes, as the producer, it does ultimately land on me when things go wrong for MxO. I won't argue that fact or point fingers in other directions. If I inject a bit of humor at this point, it's because I'm disappointed as well--both in the ending of MxO and in not finding ways to change the direction of the game.

Is there more I could have done? I'm sure there was. Hindsight can bring things into unfortunate and painful clarity at times. So I try to remember all the good things about this game and it's community and hope to learn from past mistakes so I can do better in the future. Too late for MxO, sadly. But not too late for any future projects I'm responsible for.

I wish we could keep at least one server open. The option was looked into, but it wasn't feasible. So we have to retire the game and that makes me immensely sad. I understand the anger completely.

Now we just need Keith01 to log on and say "I blame Walrus" to complete the circle.

And Walrus, yes you can do one thing at least: try to sell MxO to an another company that will hold on the services.

That won't happen because SOE won't let the codes go, and they have to get the license from WBIE, and I doubt WBIE will give it up without a soul and virgin blood.

I forgot to include Interlock.  IL was just awesome.  The finishing moves in IL was also awesome.

I'm going to miss how you can find beauty in this game, even in Westview. 

D@mn you SOE....

Well.....I'm glad to see some people in this community are not going down without a fight.

Why would we be screwed?

Because everyone knows the majority of LESIG identities, Operative.

Meh, just create LESIG 3.0, rehire everyone under new Operative names. 

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

Apparently, like your neighborhood peodphiles, SOE is gong after children.

Maybe that's why SOE is shutting us down, we're not "Kid Friendly".

Free Realms, this new Kung Fu game, EQ I & II and yes, even SWG are kid friendly. 

The Matrix franchise....is not.

Does that even matter at this point?

I'm suprised they haven't taken over Toon Town, that seems to be the direction SOE is going.

Do you even have to ask?

SOE: We've got your game (so long as you're under 13 and don't care how badly we screw it up).

SOE: We got your game, as long as it's made in house.  All other games get the shaft.

I talked to a Service Rep earlier, and he kept coming back, going and coming back.  At the end, apparently it's SOE side, someone screwed something up and is causing all of this problem, but they should have it fixed within 3-5 business day.

Today is Thursday.

I would like to say thank you Walrus and the team for a great ride, the game was great (even with its flaws) and I enjoyed the events. I received an email a long time ago in beta which gave me some happiness. It stated i was part of a small group of people, 50, who were part of a VIP beta program. We could access the game servers at any time (this was during the time the beta was only open for so many hours a day) and it was great. I felt like I had accomplished a lot in the Beta Project and I heart all those who i have talked to and touched over the years (yes in that way). Thanks for the fish.

31st for me.

Five bucks on it won't come back up.

the bar must be set pretty high.

Indeed it is, and look at SOE, still raising the bar for Phail.

I uped it.

What is going on with the forums?  One hour I can post, the next I can't and the next I can again.
