        Hey $OE! Thanks for the few years of beta that is still going on now!   (Ever hear of the joke 'it still feals like beta'? He he...) I enjoyed quiting your once popular "MMORPG" if that is what it is at all. I hope for the worse in the game that you killed so much! (Becasue it was so great from the start minus lots of errors back in beta. Still, it wasl good.) When it almost went gold that was the peak of my first MMOG and looked forward to a good game for my favorite franchise. Good luck in ruining eveything for MxO! *props* I been missing Wanner Brothers allready...   

Your avid ex-$OE customer,

Me

And I don't want you fanbois to tell me different.

Perhaps that fat-ass president of SoE could have a stroke, crippling his brain functions to where he cannot even bathe himself?

New management... new possibilities?

Cr 2.0, first and foremost.
That revision of the combat system made combat much more fluid. Although now, even lowbies can hit you, I think it provides a more sense of accomplishment for the lower level pvpers. The balance of the trees also helped out alot. In Cr 1.0, I was a level 36 and killing level 50 as a hacker. There is definatly something wrong with that, but hey, it was fun watching them squirm :P

Bug fixes galore.
Too many to count, but the perma-evade bug on the NPC's were obscenely frustrating.

The reconfiguring of the levels of gangs.
Made it so you wouldn't run from a district with a level 4 gang spawn to a level 13.

More buffed Items.
I remember the day Cr 2.0 came out with all the new stuff, we all were scrambeling for it.

The Event.
For some, they are a pain now, for others, a joy.
I like them for the simple fact that most are pretty cruical to the story, and whether your a serious RPer or a |33t H4x0rz you'll get face time with an Live events member.

I know I'm forgetting somethings, but I'm running off of only 2 hours of sleep and a coke.
In any case, I've never had to delt with thier CSR team or what not, and I've heard they are pretty merciless.
But, that's what they're paid to do, and the rule enforcers always have a bad rep.

Call me a fanboy, or maybe I'm just Niave. But, my opinion is that they saved MxO from an early grave. Whether it lives on remains to be seen.

Well, I am one of new players that recently started playing MxO.  This si an excellent game, it really is alot better is so many ways then most out there.

Is SOE could muster enough funds to make an "expansion", bundle it with the core game & re-marketed it to the public I really think it could do very well.   Many people will stick with it after trying it, its just a matter of getting them to try it.  But it will definetly take some kind of an exopansion or something mayor before that would happen.

It would take not only that, but an expansion on the core game as well. More quests, contacts, everything, which is why it's more worthwhile to just trash the game and start over. To quote another player, this game was coded in stone, so SoE has a hard time with even introducing the smallest of updates. Ever wonder why the combat system is introduced to new bugs with each new patch?

The game exists now only as a resource to plug more funds into other SoE projects, all the while doing as minimal a job as possible in order to keep the game running.

I've played this game from the begining and i was even one of the first beta testers.  I quit shortly after the main story started going south and wasn't as interesting anymore.  I will say this about the game, my beta and early launch days were some of the best experiances i've ever had in an MMO!  Not just because of the events they did but for the close knit RP community, I used to enjoy just going to the clubs and dancing it up with the people there while listening to the player djs on the MxO radio stations.  The big problem though with MxO is the only real content they had was the ongoing storyline and LIVE GM events which made the game fun to login to and play.  However there wasn't much player interaction with those storylines beyond solving riddles and finding where a specific character is gonna be.  I do remember one time the entire community voted on an outcome for this one story, the problem with that was it turned out different on each server so when they started future story archs that one character from the previous arch wasn't around.

Now i'm sure anyone who's run a player event or huge social gathering in an MMO knows how much planning goes into those events.  For a time that was an acceptable excuse for MxO until $OE took over and the Live Events started to loose their spark.  $OE even fired Monolith's Live Events Team becaus they were gonna run the events themselves, what a load of crap that turned out to be.  Not only were the events seriously lacking but the storyline slowed down to a snails pace and there was barely any player involvement at all.  There was no new exciting content and the story missions weren't very interesting.

But in the end like many people, what held me in the game was the close knit community and exciting(although not very fullfilling) player events that they would hold. If $OE had put just even a fraction of their mass wealth into this gam then it could've been one of the best games out there.  Now all they got is a unique combat system which tends to get stale after countless hours of pointless PvP.

/rant off :)

Yes.

Mxo parties were the best thing about the game!

Faction parties, birthday parties, event parties.

The occasional combat tournaments.

My bachelor and wedding party :P

All with dedicated dj's playing requests all night long.

I had been playing since launch, and only finally cancelled my acc at the start of the year. Months before that I kept it open for the occasional duel with friends and parties.

As i've always said, I strongly believe MXO should be remarketed as a 3d chat client. Unfortunately its not enough to keep real gamers playing.

Its unique in the aspect that you can really roleplay yourself in a young, handsome/beautiful body. RPers dream.

IF SOE have done such a great job, why aren't they still advertising the game like they did with Starwars Galaxies.

Matrix trilogies drawed audiences bigger than starwas fans when the movies came out.

Two of the biggest movies liciences EVER in this ERA to be made into MMORPG, and both got many things in common,

disgruntled veterans, sparesly populated servers.

Both belong to SOE lol

Fat chance, they've sacked most of the developers for this game, there used to be around 10 servers, now theres 3 or 4, i dunno..

By shutting down there servers, running on skeleton staff just to fix bugs and minor upgrades, there profit margin increaes even though they have a very small playerbase.

MxO is a dead end, SOE know better than to flog another dead horse (SOE spend alot of money advertising Starwars galaxies over and over which did nothing really but loose them cash).

I think SOE figure out what gamers hate: meddlesome behaviour from the devs.  Fixing bugs is one thing, but tinkering around with people's classes, crafts, and eventually their gameplay isn't the way to win people over.  Also, sacrificing the wants of current customers in an effort to bring in more is like, the worst way to go.  At least for the MO team, they're leaving well enough alone.  All i can say is that the SWG department in SOE needs to learn a lot from the MO AOE team.
