The Assassin said he recycled her?  I had documents in which he revealed that he was not allowed to recycle them when the time came.  Maybe I didn't get the one that said otherwise?  You could be right about Sarah Edmontons.  It could be nothing at all.  Once again I like to eliminate all possibilities.  She was in the Matrix a day or two on Regression before the merge.  As for Agent Gray suffering from the Smith virus, I don't know anything about that or how relevant it may be. 

 Once again, it's just a theory.  I don't claim to know for sure whether or not any of this is true.  Just random feelings.  I found it strange, the emergence of this Sarah Edmontons and shortly after, Agent Pace.  Actually, Pace may have come in before Sarah, I'm a little foggy on that one but who came first is irrelevant I think.

Interesting point about the instruction manual too.  I'd like to further point out that there are several voice actors at the bottom of the list that are credited as "additional voices".  For instance, Niobe voice overs were not done by Jada Pinkett so these additional voices could be any number of other characters.  Sati once asked the Oracle if we'd ever see Neo again.  The Oracle's reply was yes, I suspect we will.

As far as Zionists making a big deal out of nothing, I work for all three organizations.  Yes that's right!  I am here trying to stem the loss of life and bring all living beings together.  To bridge the gap and set the example.  I will not act on the words of any of these organizations leaders if they conflict with my hopes for understanding and the truce and any possible peace we all may be able to find.  If these new organizations on the horizon come to be, I will work with them as well.  We may not all be able to get along but we can surely work together for a greater understanding of one another.

I agree with Packet, Manic and Eyepopper.  I also agree with Xorbeus, though not whole heartedly.  I believe there will not be a return of the One.  Simply because he never really left! We will see him again in whatever form, how can one return if one never left? 

In the past versions of the Matrix the cycle was followed and repeated.  The last time, the One was in love.  This is what caused him to make a different choice, one that would not be controlled by anyone or anything.  Have you ever been in love?  Any of you?  If you ever truly were than you know that no outside influence, regardless of power or lack thereof, could effect your relationship with the one you love.  The Architect learned this in his last talk with the One.  Sadly, he still cannot understand love at all and in a child like way resents it and the power it holds since he is unable to compute this human emotion and control it.  The Merovingian also learned this in his last meeting with Trinity.  He said it was amazing how similar the pattern of love is to the pattern of insanity.  He could read it on her but not fully understand.  Control is an illusion.  Choice is not.  The Machines and the Architect must learn this and understand.  The Merovingian must do the same. 

The Machines have never done anything based on choice.  They don't know how to and we as Redpills must show them that path.  When Neo went to the Machine City and told them he wanted peace in return for ridding both worlds of the program Smith they let him because they knew he was right.  They did it out of necessity.  Not choice.  The Matrix was created out of necessity as well and purpose.  Machines have never had a choice, ever.  The Oracle (wherever she is), would be able to help with this in a great way I think.  If only we or even I could get in touch with her.  As far as Agent Gray still being infected with the Smith virus, I am rather concerned.  We all should be.  Could Seraph or even the Oracle still be infected?  Where are they?

Persephone seems to understand choice like no other program in the Matrix.  She has made them on her own.  Not without purpose mind you but she made them knowing the consequences fully and still moved forward.  She gave up the Keymaker.  She tried to lead Redpills to the Assassin's location.  I pray she is trying to tutor her husband in the matters of choice.

This is one hell of a surprise!  There are many reasons for my new "strategy", some of which are outlined in the Rememberance of Scorpia thread.  OOC:  I started my 2nd and 3rd characters a while ago and thought, why play the game the exact same way again?  Once the option came along for 3 characters on one server I decided to take full advantage of this! 

I thought I was alone in my quest to bring all three organizations together and I am very excited to know that I am not.  I do understand the threat of spy's but I do not fear them and cross any and all bridges that come my way by nature.  I believe I have found what I've been looking for and I will be in contact with you A.S.A.P!

F.Y.I.  I am 28 years old from London Ontario Canada and I'm on EST.  I also work shift work so I am jacked in at odd times when working the afternoon shift.  I am jacked in nearly every single day for more than an hour.

Cryptos.  Captain Praey of the Freedom here and I am a member of all three current major organiztions within the Matrix.  I have no problem with any person who desires to be reincerted.  I would happily assist in the task.  I would also never awaken them again if that is their wish.  I already have in the past. 

What I will not do is tolerate your Cypherites hostilities against any and all redpills who choose to remain.  Reveal your captor and your wishes shall be granted as well. . .

I'm sure this game is very fun.  I have not played it however and won't.  I watched the path of Neo in the films and don't need to do it again interactively.  I have no interest in being Neo.  I sold my console and games when MXO came out.  This is the only game I play.  I also can't see how anyone would think this was some sort of expansion to the story.  The Path of Neo.  We all took that ride in the films so I think it's unrealistic to think this game has anything really new to offer any of us.  I've had similar conversations about the films with people who like the simple story of bad versus good, good wins everyone goes to bed satisfied.  No thinking involved.  After reading all the posts in here on The Path of Neo it sounds like this game was designed for that purpose alone.  I kind of figured this out the minute I heard the name of the game before it came out.

Games based on movies often let you play the main character of the story so you can be the hero and save the day or world or whatever.  It's been done to death.  A copy of the movie where the only difference is interactivity.  Sounds to me like the Wachowski's were giving the people who want the simple, easy to follow story what they so desired and made fun of that concept at the same time.  Not the people who like the concept, just the concept itself.  My Mother doesn't understand the Matrix films and some of the people I work with don't either.  I'm sure anyone who didn't like it couldn't follow it easy enough and therefore had little interest in it.  The same goes for MXO.  Since it is not a copy of any of the films but a continuation of all of them.  I find being able to put myself into the story and effect it with my own choices, my own path, much more appealing.  I'm staying right here folks, waiting ever patiently for answers to questions I ahve not been able to figure out for myself!

Being affiliated with any organization is insignificant.  Every single one of us is a Redpill.  We are all human beings that have been free of our pods for however long, regardless of organization affiliation.  I believe Niobe, in her conversation with Tasteewheat, was simply using her brain in saying we should all wait and observe before taking any action.  I feel this is good advice for all Redpills, again, regardless of organization.  Even though she was not really giving any advice, just an opinion of sorts.  I do not follow any of these people on their paths, I have my own I must take, alone or otherwise.  I work for all three organizations that are currently operating within the Matrix.  Hence the title of this thread.  Putting it all together. 

That being said, I don't trully understand the masked or Cypherite agenda in light of the truce.  Nor do I grasp this Cryptos fellow or his agenda yet.  Machine Redpills and programs will happily reincert humans into the Matrix.  I have no problem with this.  If it is the choice of these Redpills to do so, they have my blessing.  I would be happy to personally and peacefully assist in this if it is ever required of me again.  I do not believe this will upset the balance as the Machines are quite capable of genetically engineering humans, obviously.  There are of course, still other humans who wish to be free of the Matrix and I have no problem in peacefully assisting with this as well.  I have.  There is balance there.  There are also, as you all know, programs in danger of deletion or overwrites that are brought into the Matrix to escape all of that.  I have no problem with this either.  Again, I will assist in this matter peacefully, if need be.  Again, I already have.

The General is one person who is a wildcard if you ask me.  They say they will help the organization that needs it the most.  Sounds like a coin toss to me.  No rational thought that leads to an actual decision.  Just whoever needs it the most?  Regardless of their agenda?  My personal agenda is life and co-existence of all living beings.  Machines, Programs and Humans.  I will not leave my three organizations for the Cypherites simply because I keep bumping into them and they seem to be willing to kill not only for their cause but for no particular reason at all.  I feel their actions over the past few months are completely unnecessary.  With the proper access key to a certain district or neighborhood Agents will not attack, threaten or attempt to kill you, regardless of organization.

The Merovingian is another wildcard and I think his actions as of late are similar to the Cypherites.  Bringing the Assassin into the Matrix to kill Morpheus and Agent Skinner (I believe).  Two actions I myself would never agree to even though I am affiliated with him as well.  However, I also feel the Merovingian is necessary as he is able to free programs from the Machine mainframe and offer them a new life within the Matrix.  We just need to get his wife to actually talk to him about his lust for power!  It is making him very dangerous to all life.

Then there is Morpheus.  I respect him greatly but the code bombs were not something I would agree to and do not.  Should he resurface I know I will be looking for him and I hope that he is a little less action bent and that his requests for the body of the One are answered by the Machines, peacefully.  I know I would attend any meeting regarding this and would speak up about the return of Trinity's body as well.  I find it strange that Morpheus would not want her body returned as well.

Agent Gray.  He is still infected with the Smith virus.  I find it strange that the Machines haven't put fixing this issue at the top of their to-do list.  I would be all over this like white on rice on a paper plate with a glass of milk in the middle of a snow storm I assure you all.

Sarah Edmontons.  For those who don't know, /suicide!  Kidding.  She was brought to the hospital in critical condition and out of nowhere, got up and walked out of the hospital on her own.  This information was found in a newspaper or tabloid clipping and scrawled on it in ink was "Could this be him?"  This question needs to be answered and quickly.

I urge you all to think!  Don't follow any of these individuals blindly!  You control your destiny, it is up to you.

Any of you who wish to discuss this matter further, send me a private message or a tell within the Matrix.  I have plenty of room on the Hovercraft Freedom for any who wish to join me in my struggle to preserve all life.

By joining the Daemon contingency you will be informed of what is going on with all three orgz regardless of your chosen affiliation!  We have plenty of room in all three branches, the choice is yours!

Such hostillity Novaho!  You know how you went about things, people were rather upset and I understand thier feelings on your possible come back.  I never voted.  I, (even in the confusion you caused me) said that I'm a three strikes then your out kinda guy and left the choice to your former comrades.  You obviously know thier decision at this point.

As far as the TDC taking a flying leap. . .well. . .we have and we are flying high and when we hit the ground, you can bet we'll hit it running.

If this past course of events has taught you anything, I hope it's taught you patience my friend.  I wish you and yours the very best.

Hey Fox!  Man sorry to hear about your losses my friend.  You are right, we've all experienced this.  I wonder about all the negative posts though. . .the game falling apart so to speak and all.  I was very close to joining the Revnant.  I took the underdogs instead.  The Delphic Knights.  They crashed and burned, sadly.  Inactivity and Hashi left the game, (miss you man:smileysad. 

I have since found my place.  A total renewal in fun within the Matrix!  I think it's only a matter of time before we see more new people in-game.  Any news on the re-release?  With a proper marketing plan (cross fingers) I'm sure we'll all be flooded with tells asking for help and to join all our ranks!

Joining the Revnant would be a good idea for anyone!  Good luck Fox, see you inside!

This is a very worthy "Matrixy" addition that gives people a reason to use the Data Miner tree!  A little nugget of faith is returned to me and my dream!

Now if we could just get the Corruptors from the Patcher quest put somewhere out of bluepill range I'd be sick with happiness.

Surprises are nice I suppose but at the same time, if this were announced in some sort of way it would attract alot more interest and activity for existing players and maybe even potential players.  Put it on the front page of the site perhaps?  Have SOE give MxO a little spot of it's own on their site like so many other games they have that'll lead to the main site page where they'll see that the game is actually getting new content and that it does exist.  I would hope that if MxO ever gets something truly big added that it is advertised not only to current players but potential players as well.  Any sort of positive advertising for MxO is long overdue, come on SOE, step up to the plate and let's hit a home run!

I like to believe anyone who has anything to do with MMORPG's (customers and DEV's and publisher's etc), know the recipe is more, not less.

Great post again WG!  I sadly don't have the special 8 million disc of the trilogy but anyone who's read all of the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice would understand the Exiles a heckuva lot better.  The sanest being in the world would go insane every once in a while if they were immortal.  They would also go into hiding or a very long sleep state until the world changed, offering them something different to experience. 

 I'd also like to thank you and Rex for earlier posts on being french and about them being chased all over Europe for not going along with the Vatican.  It kind of enlightened me and made me understand my position on Religion in a way I guess.  I'm Canadian and I'm Irish/French.:smileywink:

Sorry for going kinda off topic here all!

The Matrix is supposed to be an exact replica of the real world in a time when man had (for quite some time), drivable vehicles.  As for it being too much work to put into the game. . .well. . .I admit to knowing little about that process but I'm sure that landing on the moon was no easy task either.  The developers of any game (especially this one), should be willing and eager to push the envelope.  If I were working for Sony Online Entertainment (in a position of. . .power, for lack of a better word), I would make it my mission to make SOE a household name, like Superman for example.  People think online games, they think Sony.  Also I don't think we'd have a problem with getting run over all the time if the bounce/roll thing were left in game.  Even if it weren't, great!  Something else for players to do!  I for one would love to be able to take low level players in a large car or truck or chopper or whatever on missions so they would be less likely to get smoked from one mission site to the next by some *CENSORED* gang member.  Doing drive-byes and driving and shooting and having the Police chase us would also be great!  Just like the real world and the Matrix films.  If people were abusing these things, report them and they are banned or whatever.  The films pushed the envelope in movie making, the Matrix Online should do the same in gaming.  I don't think any of these things would make the game a GTA copy.  In GTA you play a criminal in an already scripted story and you kill as many people as you can and be as bad as you can.  I don't feel there is any relationship between these two games at all.  Where there's a will there's a way folks!!!

As for apartments. . .I have hideouts and headquarters in all 4 districts.  You gotta get out there and look people!  When you find 'em, flag 'em on your map!

If any DEVS or programmers or whatever happen to read this and want to post all the reasons why how hard or impossible all this would be. . .don't!  It's not impossible, the possibilities are endless!

Actually, I was just giving the person who started this thread a little more detailed answer.  As far as fighting level 255 Agents goes. . .have and knocked the bugger around but good!  Didn't really do any damage but he knew he'd been in a fight baby yeah!!  Also I would love to get as many level 50's together as possible to kill, YES KILL, a level 255 Agent.  Before I get a tongue lashing I'll explain where this idea came from.  My FM Amiga managed to kill a Sentry in Zero-One.  With help of course.  So who wants to try the Agents?!

How's that for lazy?

Interesting thread.  I haven't read any of the essays you folks keep posting links to although I'm sure they are also very interesting!  I'm no scientist, doctor or scolar but I tend to lean to the machines and the programs that run them, their soul if you will and the exile programs as well, are our creation or children.  Humanity created machines to make life easier for ourselves.  They still proved to be a pain in the neck so we gave them their soul to once again make them more efficient and easier to maintain, giving birth to AI.  This AI became self aware, (much like Skynet in the Terminator stories), a new life form! 

Their technological advancment although helpful, eventually became a burden on Humanity's evolution at the time, our society, economy, etc.  Humanity saw this as a threat to our existance and ignorantly sought to eliminate that threat in a totallitarian way.  We tried to commit infanticide!  We tried to play God to our own creation!  Our children crucified us for this and we were begging for it in our own ignorance. 

As mentioned before in other posts, machines were programmed  to help us, not destroy us.  I agree with this.  The Matrix was created to give the machines a new source of energy after we took the most abundant one from them and for them to learn and evolve and understand, as our human children learn from human adults.  Also to keep us from destroying all life on the planet, which we proved we were fully capable and willing to do. 

 In the real world, our children (human) do these very things from time to time in a broken household or disfunctional family.  They intervene when Mom and Dad are more than willing to beat the crap out of eachother for reasons that are just NEVER good enough, rather than try to understand one another.  Often, they are ignored because they are so young and adults feel they cannot possibly fathom what is really going on.  But they CAN!

Life finds a way, nearly all the time in any given situation.  The machines found a way to survive and learn without the violence, (to a certain extent).  Humanity found a way by our very complex brains not adhering to the programming of the Matrix (some of us anyway) and through the Oracle.

As far as the cow thing goes, well. . .I think the real question is why couldn't the machines have found another life force to draw energy from.  As mentioned in other posts, humanity all but irradicated most if not all other life forms during the war, leaving little else for the machines to choose from.  Plus, we are their creator, not cows or insects or whatever.  Their interests of evolving can only be found within humanity. 

I love the Matrix!  I love playing with all you people too!  It's so great that we can play and think together rather then just mindlessly button mash our brains out in silence!LOL!:smileyvery-happy:

I recently had a meeting with Seraph and the Oracle via the Machines.  The Oracle believes that the Machines have lost something.  That something was called Cacaphony.  The Oracle believes this Cacaphony is the General.  If the Machines lost him, what does that make him?  An Exile.  Who brings Exile programs into the Matrix?  The Merovingian.

Whether or not any of this is 100% on, I have never trusted the General.  I was here when the LED Agents were attacking everything in site.  I've seen all the communications dropped by the LED Agents upon their defeat.  Regardless of who the General really is or may be working for I believe he is a threat to life. . .ALL LIFE! 

That being said I have sent Captain Niobe a warning email, the rest (at this point) is up to her.

As of late the Mchines seem to be hard on the tail of the Effectuator.  The Merovingian seems too busy trying to get us all fighting with eachother for no apparent reason.  Zion is moving forward with helping the Commandos.

If I am able to stop Captain Niobe from doing anything rash to the Merovingian I will.  He serves one good purpose if no other.  He brings programs into the Matrix saving them from deletion.  If the Merovingian has brought yet another insane exile into the Matrix, I will do anything I can to stop the General.

How do I know all of this?  I work for all three organizations.  Zion, Merovingian and Machine.

I must say that I do not understand this Cave Monkey taunt.  We are all human, free of our pods.  Once free of the pods we have but one place to survive, underground.  Am I missing something?  Have some Machine and/or Merovingian operatives found what's left of Trump Plaza and moved in?  Somehow I doubt it. . .
