Sarah Edmontons is an anagram for Thomas Anderson. I'm sure that's just coincidence though, right?

Just throwing that out there.

Good thing I didn't /ignore anyone who bashed The Collective. I'd have the entire server ten times over on ignore.

Just as silly as running a Sniper/Medic loadout and complaining about crappy damage. Oops!

Eh? When did I complain about damage output of combat medic?

Oh Mave. Even after all this time, you still don't have a clue why I ran that build. Never did I ever suggest that damage output should be increased - I knew it was low. High damage was never the point of it, however constant staggered plus Three Round Bursts more than made up for it.

For the record, I could take most OL builds out with combat medic, since I rolled so high. Good lord I must've racked up a couple thousand CQs with that build of mine. But it was always IL builds that gave me trouble, which is why I usually ran it during group PvP. Group Heals, Combat Rez, repeated Staggered/TRB, and near-gauranteed roots FTW. In interlock, however, I could stall someone due to the high rolls, but killing them was unlikely without outside assistance.

Course, I think it was pretty silly of you to run around as MKT all the time, and pretend like you were teh hotness of the PvP arena.

Weapons Boost w/ TRB and Sniper Shot was the ish! Yeah, you got lower damage (like 800 for Sniper Shot) but you never missed so it was gravy.

That exploit was so easy to replicate it wasn't even funny (jump right before timer completed).

Hahaha! I figured I was safe, since there's a lot of closet Browncoats out there!

Your location under Serenity also said Canada.

I see no point in suggesting a server transfer all to 1 server, with no future updates and no ongoing storyline, I rather see this game rest in peace than live to not even be a mere shadow of what it once was.

Exactly. If MxO was still being updated and we still had an ongoing storyline and they STILL were going to close it down, THEN we'd have a problem. But with no updates, no storyline (the whole reason why most of us still played until now), and no future, there's no reason for MxO to continue.

A big red flag for me was that the game has been in development for 7 years. That and if you read their forums there seems to be a lot of non-English speaking people.

Society killed the sequels. Today everything is fast-paced, commercial, and quick consumer digest. Most people don't delve into profound and critical thought, take lengthy anaylsis, and to heart. The sequels were the most vital elements to the trilogy, it's a tragedy that it's just not everybody's cup of tea.

The reason Reloaded was still well received was because of all the (back then) top of the line CGI and insane fight scenes. It was practically tailored to be labeled as the definition of a summer blockbuster.

Revolutions was widely considered a failure due to not so stellar acting (fault lies with the script here), too much of the real world and not enough of the Matrix, and to many a very lame ending.

If Reloaded and Revolutions were received better, I'd say another movie down the road was inevitable. Well, Reloaded was still widely accepted and liked, but the Wachowskis really lost everyone with Revolutions. That and Enter the Matrix, Path of Neo, and now MxO were pretty much failures, as well. The only endeavour outside of the original film that was critically acclaimed was The Animatrix.

Basically, the Matrix franchise from 1999-2003 was the hottest thing since Star Wars, IMHO. The anticipation of Reloaded and Revolutions was astronomical. It's just too bad the franchise fell flat to the general public. With this in mind, it's tough to see the Wachowski's revisit the Matrix, at least anytime soon. It's possible WAY down the road they could be sitting on the couch talking and all of a sudden have that moment of "You thinking what I'm thinking?" I think something simpler like a third volume of the comics, a second Animatrix, or possibly EU novels would work better, IMO. Slowly gauge the reaction of people with some new material and maybe win over everyone back with another film that resembles more of what made the first Matrix film so great and not so much with Revolutions (the real world).

EDIT: A Matrix prequel, anyone? The first One?

You don't honestly believe thousands of people resubscribed, do you?

The whole "let's save MxO" mantra has been tried by how many people? and by how long? What will make SOE suddenly say "Wow, we have been wrong all along!"

I respect where you're coming from, but if SOE didn't take over MxO, the game probably would have shut down a lot sooner. Let's just be happy we enjoyed the game for this long and glad we made all the friends we've made in the game.

The cold, hard truth...

Most likely waiting on TOR.

You know it's bad when MxO will be the first MMO to be shut down by SOE, beating out EverQuest (released in March 1999, the time of the first Matrix film to hit theaters, how appropriate?) and PlanetSide (I seriously have a hard time believing this game has more subscribers then even MxO).

This is certainly disappointing, but inevitable all the same. We all knew it was coming. To finally see it in writing just makes that rising thought hit home a littler harder. I will say I feel sorry for anyone who thinks they have wasted their time now that they will no longer be able to play. Yeah, you will lose all of your characters, Info, items, collectibles, e-mails, etc. but does all of that e-junk really trump all the great times and friendships you have made the past 4 years? I really hope it doesn't or else the 4 years you were jacked in must have been a lonely place.

I'm currently subscribed but I haven't been playing due to me hooked on Sacred 2 right now, but I will undoubtedly be active for the final days and the last event. I think the sadness will take hold of me much more once the final few days come and we all get meatwadded for the final time, just like end of beta...

Until there is another MMO that offers a similar setting as MxO, it will always invariably be my favorite MMO.

"Post Modern Cyberpunk" is just such a niche that it normally isn't hit on, it's always either fantasy or "far future sci-fi"

Have you tried Neocron?

Yes. I didn't like it. Outdated graphics, gameplay was meh.

Agreed. Just needs a gfx overhaul and such and it would of been good.

3: A prequel that goes back and addresses the story line that follows "The Second Renaissance", the emergence of the first 5 anomalies, and the origins of the Oracle and the prophesy, Seraph's fall from grace (as a serphim agent that was scheduled for deletion, hunted by the new NSA style Agents, incuding Smith), The Merovingian's origins as an Operating System and more importantly his creation of the Chateau and acquisition of Persephone. (She calls him "My Love" but it seems more like Stockholm Syndrome)... A movie like this could easily end in the Oracle meeting a young Morpheus. It would be oh-so delicious to see the machines establishing Zion for the humans " />

Other than that, get over it. They made a PvP/FFA zone for a reason

But yeah, very little in the game gives the impression that there's a war going on.

If the game was released in March of 2005 (or December of 2004 WHICH DOESN'T COUNT BECAUSE THAT'S NOT WHEN THE GAME WAS RELEASED) how is it possible for any faction to be around for four years when we haven't even reached the third year mark?



11-25-03 to 11-25-07  =  4 years (and counting). It doesn't matter if the game wasn't released yet, the Faction was created with a website, a forum for members and recruits, and as shown above, a recruitment thread on the old Ubi boards.

and I also don't think being the oldest faction matters at all. It just means you have more people who haven't had a life or a steady job for almost three years.

Or it just means that the Faction itself has a strong leadership with years of both old and new members that continue to join creating the time line of the Faction from day 1 until now. A strong Faction does not allow itself to dematerialize over time, no matter how bad the situation seems, which is why you see so many disband and members just join other Orgs.

Datamine is awesome. I haven't explored the entire area yet nor tapped nodes (though I hear they grant a ridiculous amount of Info per tap), but I did PvP for about an hour and it was a lot of fun when everyone is red. The FFA will freshen up some of the stale PvP we have been seeing at Mara for over 3 years now. Though it's kinda tough to auto target.. usually I just tab through targets, but when most of those targets are your own Faction, it gets kinda tough.

I think what makes Datamine so great and unique is the amount of uneven terrain. Actual hils, bridges, broken streets, buildings, etc. It would even be sweeter if buildings were accessible, but that's no biggie really seeing as the area itself is huge.

Hopefully Rarebit and the gang expand on this and like others have said perhaps add a unique boss or some sort of quest for some new and rare loot, which will be a lot harder to aquire since it's FFA, so only teams can compete with the boss/quest and other hostiles. Territory battles would also work!!

PS. In regard to the Info, I can see 1 of 2 things. 1, perhaps lower it to 8x.. someone making 150mil off data tapping seems a bit extreme. But if you're going to change it, do it NOW. Don't wait a week or longer, because then you will already have people with like a billion Info and anyone who doesn't data tap 24/7 get screwed when it is finally changed. Or... 2, keep 10x, but don't allow Master Shadow to be activated when data tapping! In this way, you can data tap, but you can't just be semi-afk and have the Master Shadow ability on a macro, and you will always have the chance of being attacked, it actually would make it more fun, IMO.
