While the future of the Matrix Online may be uncertain, the future of the Omega Syndicate is not. If you would like to be a part of the faction that has been here from the very beginning, and will be here until the very end, look no further.

The Omega Syndicate is here.

What can be said that hasn't been already.

The heart of the Matrix Online has ceased beating. The machines might keep it alive for a while but it's soul will be gone from it with your passing.

Rarebit, you've been an inspiration to this game and this community in so many ways. If there was ever someone who never failed to go far beyond that extra mile, it was you. I have always appreciated the creativity and the artistry you applied to everything you were involved in here.. from your artwork on the forums, to the engaging personalities you created for the almost countless characters you've played. To say your presence here will be sorely missed would be a phenomonal understatement.

I hope whatever is coming up in your future is as inspiring for you, as you have been for MxO and for everyone here.

Cheers to you!

::raises a glass in salute::

Seeing as how it's been about 3 months since this was posted originally.. is there any idea yet on a timeframe we can be expecting the new transmission?

Operatives,

Don't limit the view of yourself
Don't despise the conditions of your birth
Don't resist the natural course of your life
In this way, you will never weary of these worlds

There is so much more potential for our worlds of code and flesh then what we are allowing with this ever-constant strife and violence. Life is sacred.. regardless of how it came into being and should be respected. We are all responsible for these worlds we're a part of. The sooner that truth is realized by the whole, the sooner we can make ammends and move forward.

The OS is looking for strong minds of integrity, people who aren't afraid to set aside the differences that divide, to embrace the commonalities that bind. If you are one such person, please don't hesitate to contact us through our fleet communications network that can be located here.

Regards,

Reikira
Captain, HvCFT Coalesco
Lt. Commander, Omega Syndicate

The abilities tree section on Rumbaar doesnt seem to include any of the title ability "upgrade" abilities and what they do...

No, the Ability Tree interface does not specifically name any of the Upgrade abilities as such, as we merely took the descriptions and stats of each ability as they are found ingame. However, if you'll notice in the Abilities section of the Beginners Guide, it makes a point of stating all Yellow ability icons as signifying upgrades.

Thanks for the note Vinia. I'll see if I can get that updated soon.

If anyone else notices any discrepencies in any of the information, please don't hesitate to send me a PM either on Rumbaar or DN1, or post in this thread.

Nah, just the time I can spend IRL browsing these forums is usually pretty minimal. Though I try to pop in and keep up to date on it all every once in a while.

Oh I've floated around here for a couple years, just haven't posted a whole lot and not much in a while. Thanks though!

I just picked up a Wacom Intuos drawing tablet and have since been playing around with it a bit. Thought I might post my first real picture to come out of it and invite anyone else who has some sketched or drawn art, either real or digital to do the same.

This is a portrait of my character, Reikira.

##Incoming Transmission to HvCFT Leviathan..##
##Source: HvCFT Coalesco..##

A world is never completely doomed to ignorance so long as there are those left with the presence of mind to see beyond the general chaos of the here and now. You are one such person Cloud, and have no doubt that there are still others left who want nothing more then to see an end to the continuous conflict that has plagued everyone since before the truce even ended. But in order to have a chance at improving the future, one must work with the realities of the present. At the moment, the reality is that it is almost certain suicide for Zionist ships to fly anywhere near the old gates, to say the least of inside.

I understand your frustrations in this CloudWolf and believe me, I share them. But dying for peace, as noble as the sentiment is, does nothing for the cause of peace itself. You and the Leviathan can do far more alive and spreading the ideals that an eventual peace will require.. then you can ever hope to do by becoming merely another statistic in the already growing tally of casualties this war is responsible for.

I can't order you to reconsider your decision as I can emphasize what's driving it... but I dearly hope that you do. For not only yours and your ships sake, but for the sake of the cause your so willing to martyr yourself for. Your worth a lot more alive and fighting for it, then you ever will by simply dying for it.

-Rei

To the Awakened generation.

Ever get the feeling the feeling that the more you find out, the greater the questions you end up with? Every one of us has been there.. most of us still are. But thankfully, there are those who have documented and recorded their travels and findings for the benefit of everyone who share the Matrix. Almost everything you will ever need to reference or look up regarding the Matrix and Mega City, the entire database can be found at the OS Rumbaar main site.

Just popped that pill and don't even know where to start? The new comprehensive Beginners Guide to the Matrix Online will be sure to help you get a handle on it all.

From all of us at the Omega Syndicate, we wish you happy travels throughout Mega City.

Kudos Deno, for the sheer mass amount of effort you've put into this.
Great work!

Yes but we still want to answer the question: what year is it?
That is, in the real.

That's something I've wondered about myself. I think the Architect said it was to be the 6th time Zion had been destroyed.. and allowing a minimum of 200 years for Zion to rebuild it's population again, a rough estimate would at least put us at the year 3200.

((Nicely played Sisko. And seriously, there needs to be more events like this!))

Thadious... as in from the faction 'The Wise'?

Name: Reikira (Rei to those who know her)

Faction: The Omega Syndicate

Organisation: Zion

Favourite haunts/RP Spots: Tabor West, Kowloon, Baldwin Heights.. but pretty much anywhere really.

History: Shortly after the reboot of the Matrix, Reikira was recruited almost strait from the pod to act as a spy for Zion in the Frenchman's organization. Above all others, there had been two people who had been closest to her across the span of both her blue and her red life. When one of them embraced the ideals of the Cypherites and betrayed them, she took refuge with the other and became a part of the Omega Syndicate. She has since been made the second in command of the Syndicate and has devoted herself to the protection of all sentient forms of life, and to building the organizational bridges that are necessary to the continuation of the truce.

Generally more on the reserved side, she prefers to listen and quietly observe. Though get her talking and you'll find a deeply philosophical person who isn't afraid to debate or converse with anyone, regardless of their organization or credo.

In-Game Background: The most important choice in your life, is the one which you decide your life is your own. No more excuses.. no one to lean on, rely on, or blame. Regardless of your origin, the gift of life is yours.. you and you alone are responsible for the quality of it.

Home, like many other words means nothing save for the attachments and feelings with which we associate it. Our homes are the the rock of the earth, the metal of our crafts and cities, and the bytes of code that build and frame the digital existence.. All of which we will ceaselessly fight to protect. Countless homes, eternal forms of life, infinite attachments...
One Family.

We are the End Family.

I'm usually on after 8:00pm MST during the week and whenever on the weekends. I havn't seen Catzi on around my time lately though so if anyone sees me online feel free to give me a call. I'd be glad to get a group or two going.

A very concentrated effort put forth by the Machines. Very well fought.
Zion has some strategy to rethink for the next one.

Welcome to the Matrix! Hope that last step down the rabbit hole didn't throw ya, it can be a bit of a doozy.

Regardless of the organization or faction you end up choosing the OS Rumbaar site is a great resource for pretty much any information your looking for about the Matrix or Mega City.

Happy travels!

About time someone got it together and organized something like this.
As I've already told Catzi, I'll do all I can, when I can. SMILEY

Nice to see another Merovingian Faction starting up.
I've added the Default Setting site to the Factions listing page of the Omega Syndicate site. If you would like to add a short description regarding your faction or would like to add a contact name/email, please PM me with the relevent info, either on DN1 or the OS site.
Have a good one!

Welcome to the Matrix! Hope that last step down the rabbit hole didn't throw you.. it can be a bit of a doozy.
As has been already stated, you've found a great place to ask questions and glean some info.
Another site that hasn't been mentioned but is definitely worth checking out is
http://www.thematrix.rumbaar.net
For interactive City Maps, newbie guides on everything from just starting out to coding, to numerous lists and documents that go over pretty much anything you'll need to know concerning the Matrix, this site pretty much has it all. There's even a Faction Listing of almost every faction that has a website across all three servers so if your looking for a good Mero faction, there would be a good place to check. (Aside from the Recruitment boards on DN1 of course)

Happy travels!

Twas great fun. Was a little rough starting out as all the zionists kept getting split up and slaughtered before even getting to the *CENSORED* platform but once everyone got the whole group teamwork thing down it went a lot better. Each side was fairly well represented and it made for a pretty good battle. Great job to everyone who attended. I'm deffinately looking forward to the next one.

Wow.. didn't see this one coming.. at all..
/endsarcasm

I always thought it pretty convenient that the one thing big enough (aside from Neo himself coming back) to shift everyone's focus away from the General came at the time when the attention on him and his actions was at it's height. That and his fondness for using holograms..

Three members of my faction and another on Syntax were running a mission when they all crashed. None of em have made it back in yet and I know that at least two have been having the same problem logging back in. I fortunately haven't had any problems yet /crossfingers, though I won't be logging out anytime soon.

I've been playing since it went into it's first beta. If you have a computer that can handle the settings cranked, it's the most visually stunning game that I've seen yet. As has been already stated, the combat system is nothing new, though it actually does rely a lot on knowing the intricacies of your class and how to best utilize every skill to it's benefit, and knowing when to. Coming from MxO and being used to using a much faster combat system, you can apply a lot of the same tactics and techniques. My main is an elf Loremaster, which is the light armor mage class and generally not thought of as a combat class. However I've never had a problem in duels with the hunter and tank classes who aren't used to more tactic based combat.

It does all come down to personal preferences. I've always been a big Tolkien fan and if your familiar with the lore, the world and the detail that has gone into it is unparalleled. For those who are just comparing it to EQ2 and WoW, yes those games were the originals in the Fantasy MMORPG genre.. but Tolkien essentially created the Fantasy genre to begin with when he made the LOTR universe.

I'm also going to post a few screenies that I've taken, but to show a different side to LOTRO. Seriously, the days are beautiful.. but the nights are downright stunning.. and a point I thought was pretty cool, they've actually made a fairly acurate night sky, complete with constellations.

If this has been asked before, please disregard this.

In regards to clothing drops, does each area/district have certain specific styles you can find, or is it completely random across the city?

33% to Heal and Upgrade Area Radius.. SMILEY

I'd get this for that alone.

Seriously, bout time they gave all the medics something decent.

Seriously, if they ever do a re-pack of MxO, Odj's should be the new box cover. SMILEY

I did take a few peoples advice and altered the White/Green one a bit to enter into the Contest. I'd cross my fingers but there are so many good entries already so who knows.
But regardless, thanks for the great comments everyone.
SMILEY

Last minute I know, but hey, what the hell.

Hehe, I'd considered removing the Omega logo before I posted em but I figured it'd be easy enough for those who want to crop it out.. Annnnd yea.. effort. SMILEY

But if you want to use em, either in part or in whole, feel free.

I made this background not too long ago (first MxO background SMILEY

) and liked how it turned out so I decided to do a couple different versions and post em up for everyone.
Hope you enjoy!

If you do decide to submit a new link, please make sure to include which server(s) you're on and your organization. Saves me having to go and search for that on the faction's page or DN1. Also, you only need to add your name and email if you want it included as contact information for the faction listing.
Much obliged.
SMILEY

Awesome! Well, whether a result of the prayers, fingers or the forum devs, I'm glad the issue was resolved.
Thankyou to whoever was responsible!
SMILEY
