The Matrix Online

Found it horrible, the quests were boring and felt repetative. The combat was an absolute bore fest with the "stylish" corny moves. The character costume AKA Trench coat and cowboy hat looked laughable. I'm not sure if it was good a few years back but when i tried it ..it was rubbish.I just want to hear anyone elses input in the current state of the game and what they think. I mean you can just go play CoX which offers more.

You are a tad bit late..

I don't think anyone cares anymore..

Yeah, i know but i'm just wondering how high is the sub base? Is it higher than SWG?

Another game with potential killed off by SOE. Everything they touch turns to shit.

Yeah...just another failed movie-game adaptation it seems.

I agree, quite a bit. I played the trial recently as well and it just got really boring. All the missions I did had no sense of urgency and were empty of enemies. I felt the combat was unique and for the most part, the animations looked good but some of the animations were a bit silly... the strangle and then punch one for example. The city was kind of cool but the enemies just felt all tacked on and considering most of the city felt cut off, that didn't help.

It's probably about equal. SWG has about 7 low servers and 3 that hit medium sometimes... Matrix has 3-4 servers (forgot how many) and I beleive all of them hit medium at some point.

City felt a bit empty, and you get the odd group doing a bit of pvp near a phone booth but that was about it.

I was a beta tester for MxO. Back in the first few months after release, the game kicked serious ass.

One of the big draws was the fact that the story played out around you constantly, via a live events team who acted as the roles of the major characters.

When Morpheus met us on a rooftop and told us to gather our crew for a secret meeting in a basement, we realised we were playing a different kind of game.

It had so much going for it....but it wasn't the "mega smash money making cash cow" that WB was expecting, so they sold it to SOE...who fired off the live events team, smacked the game with an NGE, then tossed it in the corner, weeping and violated under the watchful eye of a dev team consisting of ONE man.

Live event team sounded quite cool, it's a shame what soe did
