Oh, I don't mean to steal your stuff from times of olde...  How about this.

I petition everyone at MxO to help me STOP PETITIONS!

I vote for one of two endings:

1) Neo comes back and realizes nobody kept their word and proceeds to lay the smack down.

Haha, that would be awesome.

"You guys ****ing ****ed it all up.  What the **** were you thinking?  EPN?  It's not about me, ***holes!  Zion, why the hell are you chasing around the intruders?  Morons, you're supposed to be trying to truce up with the Machines.  Machines, what ****ing part of I saved your ****ing asses don't you understand?  The ego on you!  Cypherites... I don't even have words.  I'm so upset at you that I have nothing to say.  Douchebags.  At least if nothing else, the freaking cake eaters haven't changed their style any at least they're true to themselves.

Screw this, you guys are all going down."  Neo wins.

Or something like that.

Me, I figure the Machines took advantage of Zion's blind focusing on the Intruders.  While the Machines had thier redpill operatives playing along and keeping Zion distracted, they went and upgraded their systems so that they could run a reboot.  This also explains the complete lack of reaction to a few Zionites and EPN running a major codebombing campaign.  They send out a massive force to strike on all active hovercrafts (what, like the Mechs wouldn't be building more Sentinels than ever before during wartime?) and have "suicide bombers" with EMP's of their own.  Maybe the sentinels chuck it like they did the long range explosives or something, only it's EMP bombs.

They force a hard reboot in such a way as to leave the blues alive, but it instantly kills any operatives jacked in.  Meanwhile, Ol' Mervy finds a way to save him and his own (at least those he finds crucial to his organization)

With most of the human redpills dead, and even the ones that are alive completely inable to jack in, they feel safe to restart the cycle of the one.  They have a fairly large army to handle any stragglers, and they begin rebuilding Zion.

It's rough, but it's generally what I see.

We can fight all day and night about whether or not to let people have rare items, but the problem is that there is no one here to release any rare items either way, so this whole discussion is moot.

Rarebit said something along the lines of he didn't know what the old LET wanted to do exactly with that story so he just left it alone. So, it's probably an unknown.

Well that just sucks....

Agreed.

Sarah has got to have an end story, either she was Neo reincarnated or not.

Well, it fits nicely that she doesn't get an end story since nothing else at all does.

According to some of my faction mates Dracomet bumped the Task Master in the Zero One construct up in level...anyway we could get him back down?

What level is he currently?

I can be an @ss when I need to be.

Not necessarily.  Even though they get paid to be nice and to be customer service reps, sometimes people are just ***holes.

As for telling SOE that they lost your business, good move, but you're not being an ***.  You're being a consumer who's sick of getting run over, and I applaud.

Can we please just let this game die with whatever dignity it still has?

Anyone got a spare they want to sell?  Not that money even matters, but I'd pay.

I'm waiting for Live assistance now, but I looked at Raijinn's post again and I am so mad I didn't read it more clearly the first time.  No where in there does it say that we will retain our accounts after June 1st.  In fact, the wording of this is  very "You lose access after June 1st."  I've written semi-ambiguous stuff like this before while working in tech support.

How are The Matrix Online subscriptions refunded? / I just re-subscribed, how will I get a refund?
As of June 1, 2009 any currently entitled active player with an account in billing will not be billed again. For players who have previously purchased prepaid subscription time via a multi-month subscription service, SOE game time card or other retail game time card that extends the service period past June 1, 2009, SOE will refund these accounts for the unused time and where indicated will mail refund checks to the current billing address on the account. Please be sure to update your email and physical address in your Station Account as this will be critical to the refund process.

Are The Matrix Online subscribers going to be compensated for their loyalty to the game?
On July 31, 2009 at 11:59PM PST the ability to play The Matrix Online will cease. We encourage players to transition their active service to one of the other SOE games available for trial during the transition period of June 1 through August 1, 2009.

However, in the e-mail from SOE that a lot of people got:

Dear MxO Subscriber,

We want to inform you that on June 1, 2009, Sony Online Entertainment (SOE) will suspend commercial services of THE MATRIX ONLINE (MxO). However, SOE will continue to operate the game service and players will still be able to play MxO through July 31, 2009.

As of June 1, 2009, SOE will no longer offer customer support or provide updates for MxO, and active subscribers with accounts in good standing will not be billed after that date. MxO subscribers who have prepaid subscription time that extends their subscription period past June 1, 2009 will receive a pro-rated refund for any such pre-paid excess subscription payments*. Such refunds are expected to be issued by October 1, 2009.

My account resubbed on 5/30.  That sounds like "Good standing" to me.

What's the point of keeping the servers up if NO ONE CAN JACK IN.

I didn't get that letter.  Can someone who did get it forward it to me?  [email protected]

I appreciate it.

But as Dopeman said, maybe they are converting all of us to free stationpass. I know alot of us didnt recieve that bonus and still had the reactivate from old subs instead of trials.

Cant believe I am giving them the benifit of the doubt

I know a few people who are logged in now and am talking to them on Station Launcher.

The conversion is most likely the reason.

Have your Zion girl call me if she decides to grind it away anyway. 

Well, now that the glitch kitty is seizing out of the bag, I can go ahead and make a long sappy post.  FFS, where to start?

I'll start with Zippy.  Dude, you should have RP'd yourself a shower.  C'mon, man.  Flies everywhere... That's just not sanitary.  Oh, and sucks that our characters never really had a chance at interaction, I'm sure it would have been interesting.  (Now you can stop feeling so sorry for yourself )

To FG: 
Thanks for giving me an awesome place to grow my wayward character.  I had a general plan for Noxton, but things don't always go as planned, and in this case it's for the better.  We had some great inner-faction RP that occasionally spilled over to the outside world which was always fun.  And of course, I've come out with some people who I consider RL friends, and that goes a long way.  <3 to the Family.

I think that what I'm most sad about with the end of the simulation is that Noxton is done, too.  I had some RP planned...  I'm still gonna try to get it in.

To The Trust:

What can I say?  You guys brought in a noob RPer late in the game and made him welcome.  I doubt I would have found the experiences I did have in this game without you guys, so again... thanks.  Hell, I didn't even know about the LE's until you guys took me to a weekly Zion meeting.  How sad is that?

I have all these memories of seemingly small interactions that I'll never forget.  Also, a special thanks to Neoteny for letting me bend my character into the bombing extravaganza, and thanks to Bindi for forcing Qui out of it.  Heh.  Oh and thanks again to Neotney for letting me kill you even though the final killing blow was stolen.  Heh, no hard feelings Meta.

Love you Trustees.

Oh, and of course Merrit... <3

Jeez, I really hated that Jossic guy.  I hope he's deleted. 

I'm guessing that joining the Trust with Q is what kept you in game?  I'm glad if that's the reason, because it was good times.

I'll list the one's I remember or are current.

Consequently, Jossic is in fact deleted.

If you want my life story (as far as MxO is concerned) read on.  If not, psh, whatever.

Randomly decided to play MxO in Feb '08.  To this day, I still don't know why I never did it sooner, but it is what it is.  I honestly can't remember if I was directed to the Trust or if I had found it through DN1, but either way, I had my first interview (and consquently first RP experience... it was rocky at best), and I remember being run through the Access Node tour in International by Alphaea, Cov, Bindi, Fen, Ivy, and Deff after my interview and acceptance.  Good freakin' times.

Anyway, Noxton came about right around the time Conan came out and a lot of Trustees had things going on in their lives.  He was supposed to be a Mech, but through random RP became a Merv.  Thanks to Tranque for that.  Heh.  The main difference between my characters is that I learned to RP with Qui, and Nox was built from the ground up for RP. Anyway, I somehow managed to be active in both factions, and get both of my characters to 50 within a year with little to no sharing of resources between the two characters.  In retrospect, I probably should have just run a character on Syntax, but I already knew everyone on Recursion.  Dramacursion for life!

I love both the Trust and FG.  <3 to my fams.

EDIT TO ADD:

Oh, and bravo.  One of my characters had a bunch of interaction with Barnsley, and I always enjoyed it even if I occasionally got carried away in the "Barney bashing."

Ah screw it.  The "big" reveal to the 5 or 10 of you who might actually care is at the bottom.

Vector-Hostile:  (Really didn't venture over here due to seeming lack of action)
Jossic

Also saying people who didn't like the second and third film becuase of it's story is stupid. 

I didn't say "all people," I said "average movie-goers."

I was referring to those who are the people that hated the franchise and aren't playing here.  Those who never played this game.  A considerable chunk of people who by and large outnumber us Matrix fans.

You two deserve some kind of insanely awesome ridiculous award.

I can't even freaking stand it, this is so badass.

A huge problem is that most people can't handle the ending of the Movies...  If three had a more... "average movie-goer" ending (NEO WINSSSS HUMANS ARE FREEEE!!!!11!), then more people would have liked two, IMO.

The first movie put you in a world that you'd never dreamed of, storytelling wise.  The second shattered all of that.  People who aren't fans of the movie just can't handle that.  A lot of non-fans still don't understand Neo's sacrifice was for man and program alike.  In fact, in general there's a lot they don't understand.

That's kind of why the W Bros stepped in the way they did at the end of PON.  But we already know all of this...

As to the OP, is it the end?  Probably.  I don't particularly see the W Bros releasing the rights so that some other directors/writers could take a crack at a movie, and no game company is going to make another game after the disasters that happened before.  Don't forget, MxO wasn't just received poorly, so was Enter the Matrix and Path of Neo.

Sucks, but I think this might be the end of the rabbit hole.

Because.

While we're at it, can I please please please get some code bombs?

I'm totally in.

Bay, you sir, rock.

I'll drop this bombshell (and it will only be a "bombshell" to a few) later.

Oh, I have a few requests, too, but they're easier than the Assassin's Mask.

Someone please give me the White Area K (don't feel like farming another), and the SSR Shades.

Thanks.
