I was always going to stick around to the end. However with the lack luster of MXO as it is being "maintained", just is making me loose all interest in MXO, or any SOE game for that matter. It is just not fun anymore. Combined with some personal issuse and really needing an mmo break, I will be allowing my mxo subscription to expire at the end of this month.

All I can say to SOE is that, you may be seeing people still joining the game, however you are not going to keep people who have done everything. Their is just no reason to stick around anymore.

To all of you who I have worked with in the Matrix. I want to thank you, you are all awesome people. It was great to get to know all of you.

This question came to me, and wanted to see what everyones thoughts.

What would you rather have?

3 Person LET - 1 Person for each server.

or

A Developer like rarebit balancing creating items and running story.

I would rather have a the LET Team. I could really care less about items. I would like to have a story that I can be involved in, without having to be a part of planning it. The team would have the resources to run events, that they won't give us.

This came on after I was looking through the Archival Science website, looking at old screens. Screens of the Code Rotting Monuments, Morpheus body turning flys, the signs with the coded messages on them, & The Code Shapers. The endless amount of impromptu group and one on one meetings.

The LET team was the best Idea that made this game different from any other game out there. I don't know why SOE scrapped the idea. I know some of you are going to say we still have lesig. But I ask where are they? On recursion I have not seen any of our former liasions and Scanline seems to have gone silent. I honestly can't say that program still exists.

Ive been with this game for 4 years, Ive been through everything, including the limbo of the CR2. I just want to see this game back to where it was and not being the ghosttown its becoming.

Looks like the Authenication servers have gone down. Lets hope it does not take as long as it did to fix that margin server problem.

Is anything being done about this, it takes me several times to even get into the game. Any idea whats going on?

Since the RP tools are not going to happen like we were all hoping they would. I would like to make the suggestion of some consumable items that can be done. In most buildings of the city the roof floor is open, so in set area of the city there could be a small groups of spawns, say for example vampires in a building in westview, there boss would be Malphas. He could drop a RSI Capture, but he would also drop a consumable item. Its basically the runtime bit but would spawn normal vampires on any hostile enemy.

Another example would be tactical security. There is an open floor in the government building or even could use the spawns in the lobby. The boss could be a security captain, Agent Gray, or Agent Pace. They would create a group of tactical security to spawn on hostile enemies.

Its something simple, and we know it can be done, because it has been done. Use the same method that is used for Runtime bits. With the lack of events going on we really need the tools to make things happen. RSI Captures are the first step, but spawns would be required to make a fun and challenging event.

Well Since Rarebit is leaving. Does Lesig still exist? Are they still running scanline, and the sentinel?

Or has it been disbanded since Rarebit Quit?

I seem to have come upon a strange problem. I am using my original disk to install, MXO on a PC in my Parents House. I get through the install just fine, but then on downloading patches i download them just fine but my update bar stalls at the end and just sits here. Anyone got any ideas?

The craft was dropping fast, passing through each EMP field.

“Still have yet to get use to this…”

Deffdog keeps his hand ready over the lever anxiously waiting to return power to the hover pads. Sue stays ready to slow the descent and navigate through the remainder of the tunnel.

The Shadrack passes through the final emp field.

Deffdog begins cranking the lever and starts the engines. He did it too fast the engines did not start; he cranks slower and hits the button. The Hover Pads come to life and begin slowing the descent of the craft.

“Dammit, another close call…” Comm light begins blinking on panel. He flips the comm Switch, “This is the Hovercraft, Shadrack, requesting permission to dock.”

“This is New Zion Dock Control; you may proceed to Gate 3 and dock at station 7.”

“Understood” Deffdog looks over to Suezuki and she begins turning the ship to gate three.”

Deffdog gets up from the co pilot chair and begins moving back to the Broadcast Deck. He passes by Jazz as she begins powering up the equipment.

“Did you receive the inspection schedule from Zion Command, before the… freefall?”

“Yes I did were an hour early, this might be a good time to go through that combat test you have been wanting to take, Deff.”

“Have you contacted the requisition and the training board?”

“Yes, they have one ready for us if you can pass the training test and get approved by the boards.”

“Ok load it up.” Deffdog makes his way to one of the seats. Jazz follows, once seated, she jacks him into loading area.

Deffdog’s eyes open up to the never-ending whiteness of the loading area.

“Alright Deff beginning the program,” Jazz voices boomed from nowhere.

The white begins to fade as it is replaced with a facsimile of old Zion Dock. Deffdog was mounted into an Amored Personnel Unit.
The voice of the late captain Mifune begins.

“This is the APU Combat test, your task is to survive and eliminate 100 Sentinels. We chose this scenario because it is the most challenging situation an APU operator has ever faced. Once you have hit your goal, you can continue or end the program. Submit the code capture of the session to the New Zion Command. After it has been reviewed an APU will be requisitioned to you. Grab the handles of the APU to begin the program.”

Deffdog grabbed the handles, and more APUs fade into the dock..

“I am only going to say this once. If it is our time it is our time. All I ask is if we have give these bastards our lives, WE GIVE THEM HELL BEFORE WE DO!!!”

Deffdog begins maneuvering his APU into his assigned position.

He begins to watch the ceiling for when the first Digger breaks through. A pebble start falling from the ceiling, then the Digger breaks and falls through.

“Knuckle Up!!!” Deffdog moves the controls the load the cannons, pointing toward the new hole in the ceiling.

Sentinels begin spewing out of the hole, firing commences. Sentinels begin falling, but more continue to flow though. Deffdog continues fire as he concentrating on specific sentinels that come out of the hole. They start to increase and begin to avoid the APU Fire. The Sentinels begin to plume out of the whole and begin their hoarding tactics, turning themselves into gigantic projectiles. They aim for the dock command and in moments the dock tower is overwhelmed. Debris begins falling, forcing Deffdog to have to jump away from the debris.

The dock begins to turn bright red because of the multiple fires now ensuing. Deffdog returns his APU to its feet and continues firing. After a few minutes, his left trigger begins to click.

“Dammit. Reload!", he shouts into his radio. Few minutes later the 2 guards and the guy pushing the Ammo Crates arrive. He continues fire as they reload his guns, he catches one of the guards get stabbed through and pulled away by a sentinel. “Done!” he hears a shout from behind as the guard and the run back to the safe area. Sentinels begin to swoop on to them. Deffdog turns the APU back toward them and begins firing on the sentinels making sure they get back to the safe area.

“Your doing Great, Deff,” he hears Jazz through the headset, “Keep at it.” Deffdog continues firing on the sentinels. He sees them return to their grouping tactic to one of the few remaining APUs He continued his fire but watched as the Sentinels take down Bafonney’s APU.

A Sentinel sneaks behind Deffdog and prepares his pincers to strike. At the last minute, Deffdog caught the sentinel in the corner of his eye, turning quickly and sent hot medal into those glowing Red Eyes.

Deffdog’s ears perk up as he hears Commander Locke speaking through the radio. Attempting to address Mifune to get Gate 3 open, the Hammer is coming. Knowing exactly what is going to happen, he begins picking up on fire. Sentinels kept attempting to swarm, but he was fending them off.

Fire is heard from the vicinity of gate 3, it begins to open, and sentinels are b-lining back to the hole. Deffdog lines up on the hole and begins firing. He hears the crashing of the hovercraft busting through gate 3. The Hovercraft is skidding across the dock floor. The EMP emanates from the craft, just as a voice boomed. “Goal Attained! Please submit a copy of this session to the APU Training Board.”

Deffdog eyes open back to the Broadcast Deck of the Shadrack. Jazz pulls the jack out of the back of his head. Deffdog sits up mentally strained from the test.

He looks up at Jazz then notices someone at the Operator Station, it was Commander Roland.

Deffdog instantly jumps to his feet into a salute.

“Sorry sir, that took more time then I expected it too.”

“Relax Captain. That was dammed impressive.”

“Thank you, sir.”

“Your First Mate, Dragonnite, was it took me around your craft for the inspection.”

“And Sir?..”

“I was pleasantly surprised, considering what happened to those other 2 ships under your command.”

The images of the 2 broken hulls of the hovercrafts flash in his brain, even more scarring with his ordeal with BossCardigan.

Jazz looks over at Deffdog, knowing what feeling that the Commander has just started in her Captain.

“What’s the verdict, sir?”

“The Shadrack is cleared to return to duty. However, I would like to ask why you took the APU Completion Course?”

“I can see the use of an APU out in tunnels, sir. Help with finding downed crafts without putting the whole craft at risk. That sort of thing..”

“… Well captain, I certainly hope you don’t pass the boards; we don’t need any more wasted resources. I don’t care what you think; it would be a dammed waste of resources, to take one of those units out of here.”

The commander walks down the ramp out of the hovercraft.

Deffdog sighs and returns to the Broadcast Deck and sits down with Jazz at the operator station.

“You should have pulled me out when he showed up..”

“You know that test can only be taken once a year.. I didn’t want to pull you out of it. That’s why I had Drag take him around the craft.”

He of course was glad she didn’t pull him out, less interaction with Roland the better.

“… Man that program was intense..” Deffdog holds his head from the headache he had ever since he jacked out, getting berated by the Commander did not help.

“… Get the recharge going I want to be back to broadcast depth, as soon as humanly possible..”

Deffdog gets up, “I am going to take a nap, that test took a lot out of me”

Deffdog crosses though the halls and enters his quarters. He falls on his bed and passes out almost immediately.

--------------

Deffdog, standing outside the cargo hold, was checking through a list of supplies being loaded into the Shadrack. Medical supplies, food, some new equipment was being loaded into the hold.

“Excuse me, you Captain Deffdog?”

He turns to the man immediately recognizes him as the Requisition Officer.

“Yea.., can I help you?”

The requisition officer approaches, and hands Deffdog an envelope. He opens it, and smiles as he reads it.

“Think you’ll be able to fit it in there?.” The requisition officer takes a quick glance into the hold.

“I think we can manage, where do I go pick it up?”

“APU Armory can’t miss it, as he points to his right.”

-----------------

Deffdog mounts into the APU unit, and begins pressing the controls. It powers to life as he start walking it back to the Shadrack. He walked it across the dock. When he returned back to Shadrack the whole crew was waiting outside.

“Looks like the captain got his toy,” Jazz shouts.

“Oh you better believe it,” Deffdog shouts back, “let’s get this inside.”

The bay doors begin to open as Deffdog slowly walked it inside the Hover Craft.. Once inside he folded it down and dismounted. He stands back looking at it, knowing that he can put it too good use.

I know some of you are already jumping to respond to say hey, this will never happen, theyll never bring back the LET. Well thats not what I am writing about, I am at the point, especially as a veteran, that it shouldn't matter if its a Main character running around, we have all etched our chapters into the matrix story.

However, that being said, our resources, as a player base to run these events are limited. The reason we see little to no player events these days, is because essentually everything has been done. We need some new avenues to be able to bring stories together, to make our own live events. Yes, we do have prop items, rsi capture tools, pandora's boxes, etc., but they all have their own limiations.

Not saying we need rarebit running around in the background spawning things and such. We just need the means to spawn things ourselves, or have some control of that. I love the idea of the Runtime Bits. Problem with those are its just accelerated. We need the means spawn groups, exiles, tactical security, cyperites, zionites, machinists, .etc.

This is what I am proposing:

A lesig member, or a single player is chosen from each server, to have special tools. A lesig member would be ideal to be able to work with OOC to be able to plan out these events. That person would have special tools, such as a NPC spawn tool, and maybe an effects tool. The effects tool, would allow for some of the special effects we have seen, from code bomb explosions, to maybe some of the Fog. The main reason we didn't have items like this were because of how they could interfere in a live event, but thats not the case anymore. However, the person who gets the item, needs to earn rarebits confidence, that it would not be abused.

This community is calling out for more things to do rather, than the new quests. I've had several conversations of late about how people miss the old Lith Days, and how things worked back then. What is the communitys thoughts on this, I want to know is it just me that thinks what we have now is not working?

Was wondering if anyone has created a document of all the Gangs Backgrounds Details?

They need to change how we farm these. Its a grind to get these and half the time the bits don't even drop on the npcs, at least not for me.

I have an idea though to how this can be fixed or at least give us an alternative. Combine this idea with the corruptor idea in bathary. The amount of people in a certain area can spawn, a Wright Runtime, where it will continue to spawn the wright npcs, until the hackers take it down. It can drop a regular runtime bit. I still really love the idea of spawning npcs on hostile enemies.

This could be a permanent edition to the district or just one for the sub chapter. I would prefer the subchapter, because after that part of the story is over I think getting those items should be extremely hard to get, even if the only way to get them is grinding the mission.

I have decided to have a little fun with this halloween this year. When announced... I will be taking on an persona of one of the masks. You will have 1 hour to find me, and take me out by the same means they were taken out.

First one will start at 5 MCT to 6 MCT.

I am one of the most notorious villians of the matrix, you will find me at the place of his demise.

I will be awarding 50 mil to the person who first finds me and eliminates me in the proper manor.

Happy Hunting.

Deffdog sits in the meeting at the usual spot, as Merrit gives us the usual overview of the weeks dealing inside the matrix. He had not heard a word from the Eudai, since they went on the search for Zenxshea's Hovercraft. He almost lost all hope till his phone began to ring. The group watches Deffdog as he answers his phone.

"What you got Jazz?"

"We just found a lone landed hovercraft on the ground, and it's not the Eudai. It must be the hovercraft that we are looking for."

Deffdog Repeats this message to the group, as they makes their plans to find Zenxshea in the matrix. Deffdog makes his way to the hardline and jacks out to lead the team onto the Unknown Cypherite hovercraft.

He opens his eyes to the ceiling of the hovercraft, and waits for the jack to be pulled from his head. He makes his way to intercom. "Sue land as close as you can. Maatkare, grab your tools, Aerios and the Security team grab your rifles we have a Cypherite craft to board."

The hovercraft slowly descends the tunnel and extends its landing struts.

Once landed the craft storage bay opens and Suezuki, Maatkare, Aerios, and several other armed with lighting rifles exit the craft followed by Captain Deffdog in his APU.

Deffdog speaks into his microphone, "Jazz patch me into the Matrix Comms tell them were on our way toward the craft."

"Aye Cap, Good Luck out their", she responds.

They make their way towards the craft, as quietly and quickly as possible, the Cypherite craft remained powered down. Once they reach the craft they find the entry hatch. They reach the Craft and Maatkare goes up to the hatch with a small blowtorch and starts burning around the locking mechanism.

As Maatkare works Deffdog Whispers, "This is way to easy..." He hears Maatkare finish her work the door comes ajar, and she barely jumps out of the way as a lighting bolt fires from the hatch.

Deffdog smiles, and raises the APU's gun barrels toward the hatch. The Cypherite exits the craft training the weapon on us. As soon as he sees the APU his eyes open wide with fright. "Drop it!", Deffdog shouts, "and get down here and on the ground!" The Cypherite complies and exits the craft, with his hands on his head.

Deffdog nods at the team to enter the hovercraft. Deffdog listens as sound of lighting rifle fire ensues from inside the craft. Every few minutes a Cypherite is escorted out of the craft and held captive by the APU. The Trust Team went room by room and escorted out the Cypherites, till they came to the broadcast deck, to fine one lone female Cypherite jacked into the matrix.

Merrits voice is piped into his headset, "We have located Zenxshea in Magog."

"Great we are in progress of taking control of the craft and taking the crew captive," Deffdog answers.

Aerios exits the craft with the Cypherite operator in tow and pushes him down to join his comrades.

"That's everyone Deff, Sue took over this guys station," giving the Cypherite operator a kick in the loins.

"Good Work!, go back and Join her, Ill see if I can find out how the interrogation is going."

"Jazz route me to Merrit."

Merrit we have seized control of the hovercraft and now have operatives stationed over Zenxshea's body in the real."

As he finished the statement, a sound of another hovercraft came through an adjacent tunnel, Deffdog recognized it as the Eudai she went down the tunnel and returned to land next to the Shadrack. Alphaea, Jacenschield, and Maeby joined the group.

"Zenxshea is the only Cypherite aboard," Deffdog yells down to Alphaea, "She is being interrogated in the matrix as we speak" Alphaea smiles, and turns her attention to the Cypherites on the ground.

Deffdog speaks into his mic again, "She singing yet Qui?"

"Yeah, she's giving Merrit some information right now on how she got the information. I threatened her a lot, but it worked... I know you're no jack puller, but in her eyes you might be. Heh"

Jazz interrupts the conversation. "Got Merrit on the line for you Deff."

Merrits voice pipes in, "We've got all we need out of her. What happens now is up to you."

"Have her jack out, we will ferry the prisoners to New Zion, for further interrogation." he responds.

"Sue, Aerios she should be waking any minute now."

Zenxshea slowly opens her eyes to see 2 lighting rifles held in her face. "Stay still while we unhook you," She nods in agreement. Once she is unhooked she pushes Aerios out of the way, making toward the hatch. She starts to run outside to find a barrel of an APU trained on her as the other is trained on the Cypherite crew. Zenxshea gulps and raises her hands behind her head.

"Nice Try. Get down here with the others.", Deffdog shouts. He waves the arm of the APU toward the other group.

"All Cypherites get down on the ground with your hands on your head or well have a good look at what you have eaten today." He shouts at the captives so they can be searched

Each Cypherite is patted down and taken into custody, 6 Cypherites were taken to the Shadrack's Brig and the other 7 was taken to the Eudai Brig.

Deffdog turns his APU back toward the Shadrack and starts speaking into his mic. "Jazz head over to that craft, I want all the information downloaded from their computers. They might have the decryption to that code we found."

"On it boss."

Deffdog followed the Cypherite prisoners with the APU till they were secured into the holding cell. Afterward he returned the APU to its dock, and powered it down.

Deffdog returns to the command deck, and hails the Eudai. "Alpha this is Deff, all your prisoners secure?"

"Affirmative Deffdog. Great Work today."

"Likewise, Alphaea. I have Jazz on the Cypherite Craft, were going to get its data, then make our way back to New Zion. We have logged the location of this craft, and will pass it along to new Zion, they'll send a salvage crew for it."

I thought it would be interesting to see what kinda of drawings and graphics people have on their own hovercrafts.

This is a drawing I paid Trilateral to Create, and believe me, I was not dissapointed.

This is mainly toward the Zion Org Construct. One of our spawns is a sleepwalker, now that there going to be more common place, can we get her changed out with Anome? I am certain there are alot of Zion operatives that would love to kick his arse around.

IS their anything set out for data node spawns to be in specific locations? Say for example I mine in Westview would I be more prone to getting Vamp and Lupine Spawns?

Hey Guys, I have been running out of options so I thought I run this by our community here, and see if I can get a little help on this web issue I am having.

I am generating an excel report out of a database using an excel content type, this works as it is suppose to.

One of the cells contain a link, this is where the trouble starts, I want this link to show in a new window, but the regular html code "target = "_blank" does not seem to work.

My other option is to disable the back button, and make the user use an Back Button I created on the page and put it in the same window, but for some reason the javascript is being ignored whenever I navigate outside the excel sheet.

This is the javascript I use:

javascript:window.history.forward(1)

The overall issue I am trying to overcome is when the back button of the browser is pressed, it goes back to the excel sheet, but does not know what data to pull back in. Also I should add this is for an Intranet Website, and we use IE version 5.0.

Any Help would be Much Appreciated.

The Hovercraft Battles are a fun way fo play a part of the story that we know has to happen in the real. I am just curious to why there does not seem to be much interest in this?

What do we think can be done to gain more attention for the battles?

Well this is an idea that I think should be very feasible.

It would start off with a collector that requests special items, these items could vary from gang items or items from the other quests. After getting these items you will recieve an org key with no reputation restrictions, however the catch is that these outposts would be loaded with level 60 NPCS. Cetain NPCs would have a chance at dropping that orgs perspective shadow pill.
The items for the collector should be relatively difficult to get, so the items from other quests would be my prefered choice.

This would definitely make farming the other organizations shadow pills easier, and I know that we could probably make some awesome videos with them as well.

What you guys think?

Finally got some time to make a winter sig. Feedback?

I know that there is a very serious situation in San Diego right now, but we haven't heard anything from them in days. Can anyone tell us whats going on up there?

After hearing all this stuff on the news about the wildfires, I am concerned with the Wellfare of the Devs. Has any of them lost their home to the fires?

This is a serious tragedy and on behalf of the matrix community we hope it gets resolved soon

Edit: Alright I was mistaken, still i hope everything is going alright for everyone in San Diego.

The Shadrack slowly hovers down the dark tunnel on the perimeter of New Zion. Command has had the Shadrack scanning for attackers, since the loss of Zion. Deffdog sits in the Pilots chair and keeps a sharp eye on the cavern in front of him, while Dragonnite scans for any squiddies, or unfreindly HoverCrafts. The perimeter alert begins to sound, both Deffdog and Dragonnite move to the scanner. It was an unidentified hovercraft. The Hovercrafts Beacon signature was not that of Zion, so it was to be assumed it is hostile.

Deffdog gets up and heads to the Ship's Intercom. "Crew, this is the Captain. Battle Stations, I repeat Battle Stations, this is not a drill, this is not a drill," announces Deffdog. Members of the crew begin to move about the HoverCraft. Maatkare heads to the engine room. Hunter and Pyro man the turrets. Jazz, the operator, begins to charge the EMP. The Crew is capable, and are ready to take on whatever this new enemy has to offer.

((This is a challenge to any Non-Zion HoverCraft to a 1 vs 1 HoverCraft Battle. Send a private message to me or respond here if you are interested.))

You have just completed training. You enter the matrix, for the first time with a free mind. Your operator immediately contacts you through the hard line you had just exited. "You have received a special item from one the Zionist Factions on this instance. I will forward it down to you." The new code begins to materialize in your hand, it is a black cell phone, it immediately begins to ring. You answer the phone to hear:

"Welcome back to the Matrix red pill. My name is Deffdog, Faction Leader of the Devoted. You have chosen your path, now you must follow it. The Devoted is a faction, as our name states, devoted to the cause of Zion. We wish to see a truce with the machines, but above all we will protect New Zion from the machines during this new war. We are looking for operatives that are devoted to the cause of Zion. If you are interested please visit our mainframe at http://devotedtozion.net/. If you have questions, feel free to call me with this phone. I must go, an agent is coming. Good Luck Operative."

You hear the computer sounds of an operative jacking out of the matrix. The phone hangs off the hook; you hear footsteps leading up to the phone. You hear, "Target Lost", and the phone line goes dead.

It was a normal evening City. Well, as normal as you would expect of the Matrix. Deffdog stands at the window overlooking Yeung Park, contemplating on the day, as he looks over the horizon of the International District. Many blue pills were out on their walks around the park, on their usual routines. He suddenly sees a silhouette of a person standing near the Dawei Sculpture. It was obviously a red pill, due the trench coat that could be distinguished from the silhouette. It was too far to determine who it was, but he dismisses it as an operative shaking down the gang, which is not uncommon. Deffdog starts to move away from the window, when he suddenly hears sound of glass breaking, and then blacks out.

Deffdog's eyes jerk open, to see the cold steel ceiling of the command deck. He was shot and killed in Matrix, most likely by a sniper. His EJP must have activated. He raises his head, and looks around to see his operator, Jazz, she's working at her console, not noticing Deffdog's impromptu exit from the matrix. Deffdog taps a console near his right hand. The noise startles her, when she saw he was awake she hurried over and pulled out his jack. "What happened?" she asked. "I am not sure; I think it was a sniper." Deffdog gets up out of his broadcast chair and stretches. "Nothing stranger than usual," he added. Deffdog looks over to the other 3 crew members in their broadcast chairs. Jazz sits down back at the Operator console, back to loading the new training programs, to our newest member. A light begins to blink at the console, as the Deffdog begins to leave the room. "Captain, were getting a message for you," says Jazz. Deffdog reenters the broadcast room. She begins to decrypt the message and loads it up on one of the monitors. "Deffdog, your time has ended. I will find you and put an end to your treachery."

"What the hell? Who sent this?" Deffdog asks. "Unknown," Jazz responds, "But they also sent a code capture along with the transmission. Give me a minute to decrypt it. There also seems to be a encrypted message embedded in the image."

No alternate text supplied.

Deffdog and Jazz both look at the decrypted image in confusion. Who could be after Deffdog?

I feel this thread might be needed to discuss the Zion Live Events. For a while now any zion events that I have seen is go to point A kill everyone at point B and meet back at point A again. I personally have not felt that my presence at any of the past Zion events has been neccessary. I do not feel like it really matters if I am there or not. I just don't feel the connection to the story through them.

The Best Zion event on recursion, that I participated in, was almost a year ago, and it was durring the unlimit situation.

http://forums.station.sony.com/mxo/..._id=36300004796

In this event a certain few zionites were chosen. Its the only event I have felt that what I did really mattered. I felt a connection to the story. I have not felt this connection in the recent Live Events. I have seen all the other organizations except Zion have awesome events. It just seems to me that Zion is being neglected. Maybe they should do smaller events with certain people, or do a contest that chooses people to be involved, like this event did.

This is not a criticism of LESIG or the Devs. They have done an awesome job in this game. I am only stating my opinion in the hope that something might change.

Agent Gray, I was able to capture Zion Faction Leader Deffdog, while he was on an illegal extraction mission. Mr. Deffner is currently being held in the Prison Construct. It is believed that Mr. Deffner has extensive knowledge on the New Zion defense systems. Their is a high probability that the humans will not forcibly remove him from the simulation, until this information is at risk. I do not have the capabilities to extract the information, I will need for your skills to proceed.

If you all remember the translocation programs to trade for the awakening clothes. Well they are still being given out as event rewards, at least for zion. It gave me an idea. Why not add more items to the collector that those translocation programs can be traded. Such as for the the Agent Gun, really well buffed archive clothing, Mobius code and other special items that could be added down the road. Only way to earn the programs is through explemary work in events.

Suggestions or Comments?

///Decoding Security Code Captures from Zion Outpost

Disciple of Hardcore and I were prepping for our mission to escort the artifact on a scanning operation in hopes of finding more clues about the Morpheus signals. DOH had already retrieved the phone while I was filling out last minute reports for Command about the opeation.

I was so engrossed in my reports I did not notice Doh was acting a little bit odd.

While I was working I heard a door open. I immediately dismiss it thinking DoH forgot something or was going to retrieve some pills and boosters from the medical kits.

I was finishing up with my reports when DoH returned to the main room. My attentioned was jolted by the familiar voice of the Assassin, "Logic Error All Targets are Valid" from the training simulacra in the form of Toilet Face himself. Then I saw DoH dressed all in Red, in the uniform of the Merovingian directing the simulacra toward me.

I didn't have time to ask questions. DoH was blocking off the exit to the white hall. The only option I had was to retreat to a room far from the entrance in hopes of an emergency jackout. I called my operator to request the emergency jackout and recievethe response of static, it appears my phone was being jammed from contacting the real. wich also meant that my emergency jackout has been disabled. At this time all the security cameras were immediately disabled. Sitting in the room I heard the Simulacra pacing outside the door. My last alternative was to send out a distress call into the matrix. To my amazement, I had 5 responses, one from each organization:

TheHidden01 - Zion
NightTrace - Machine
Commands - Merovingian
Dezreki - E Pluribus Neo
Setunde - Cypherites

They freed me from my prison, but the jamming continued. I had to find DoH and retrieve the device. Suprisingly, he was at the set coordinates to meet with the zion and epn operatives. I was still in damaged shape but I was demanding an explanation. I fell to the ground, still trying to recouperrate from my ordeal in the outpost. Suddenly that red suit returned and he took a shot at me. Fortuneately right at that moment, my EJP reactivated thanks to the dilligent work of my operator.

DoH went running toward the Creston Heights District. My best guess was he was running into the most dangerous district to keep us off his *CENSORED*. He was wrong. Each organization had a outpost in the area. After 2 hours of constant attempts of all organizations trying to obtain the artifact I was left with no alternative. I had to shoot DoH down to regain the artifact. I lined up my sniper and sent DoH to the ground. There was chaos around the body, I was not sure if anyone realized that I took him down. I recovered the artifact from his body and fled to upload it at the nearest hardline aborting our planned mission of scanning for a Morpheus signal.

Fortuneately, DoH's EJP was not damaged. After this whole ordeal he finaly gave me an explanation to his actions. His actions were not of his doing. He appears to have a Exile inhabiting his body. It appears that this exile was hiding in a RSI Modification pill and is now encoded into DoH's RSI. Luckily, unlike the recent Machine programs, the exile has no control in the real. He knew this for weeks now, but he neglected to tell me of his situation. We are now requesting a meeting with Seraph in hopes that this exile can be removed from his RSI. It is now known that the Encrypted messages found in DoH's transmissions were from this exile named Abyss.

Thanks to all who assisted durring this operation. All organizations fought for the artifact. The machines were able to hold DoH in their outpost the longest, followed by Zion the second longest time, and the Merovingian held him for the shortest time.

Each organization should have a special reward, like the Machines have the System gun. So my thoughts on this is instead of handing out perpetuals, enhanced org clothing should be given out. For example, Red Eye beret could be enhanced with damage and accuracy buffs. Same with System Glasses. Not sure what the buffs on the demon army coat, but an enchanced version should be made for them. I am not saying stop handing out the perpetual items as rewards. I just think rewards for organization operations should be more personal to the organization.

Pay can be negotiated if someone has this jacket

Please reply here or email Deffdog in game.

With the event on syntax we see that it is now possible to create an area where everyone is hostile to each other. Why not harness this into a new construct. I can see this to have great value in allowing factions to train on pvp against each other, To pvp against other org aligned factions, to take away the issue of having pvp tournaments that would not allow the same teams in the same organization.

It could be in the setting of a dojo, or a small park, or even just a copy of zero one without the enemies.

Whats the community thoughts?

This is a thought I had so I want to get other thoughts on it. If SOE did a contest to create commercials for MXO, would you do it?

Um was this suppose to happen? This is going on right now on recursion.

I think this would be a good idea for game storage. It might be a large project though but here it goes. My idea to solve the code archive and inventory dilema would be a client side loading area. It would be just like the loading construct from the first matrix. There could be a wardrobe for clothes and gun racks for weapons. Also Id like to see this to also have the chairs and the television from the training missions.

I feel at least the loading construct should have been came with the game.

Whats everyones thoughts?

Thought Id see what our talented community would come up with. Also I had this thought, could someone annimated to look like if it had the jacks neural activity monitor. I am deffdog and from the faction of The Devoted.
