APB is looking really good.  The customization is crazy!

It's either going to be APB or The Agency for MxO players.  Both games look cool.

It's f2p now.  I was able to log into MxO.  Taking a bunch of screenshots of my characters before the game cease to be.

250,000 players? LMAO  But in all seriousness, if there will ever be another Matrix MMO...the developers should just start with a clean slate. 

Ah I see.  Article is from GC '07 but I guess it's still something.

It's going to be an MMO-FPS, a "persistent" world for your character to log into.  A lot of the discussion that has revolved around the payment model has been "velvet rope" and "we're going to see how Free Realms does".  The simple fact is, no FPS player is going to suddenly turn around to pay to play for roughly the same game experience--it's a huge barrier to entry given the competition.  If SOE wants that new, relatively untapped, gaming demographic then, they need to get people playing it for free first and then see if they can encourage people to buy items piece by piece (regardless if Hal Milton claims otherwise)

Maybe I should have said, it's not your typical-straight FPS game.  Heh  In my opinion, I can't really compare this game to let's say TF2 because they are totally different games through my eyes and experience as well.  This game is going to have elements that are found in many MMORPGs, like character development and leveling him/her up, exploration, missions, instances, operatives (a kind of "loot" in the Agency), etc etc...where as TF2 has none of that.  Anyways, we'll see what payment option they will have in the future, whether it be F2P with MT or P2P or whatever.

But anyways, I noticed a lot of games are going for this style look (I think that's what it is called).  This game, SWTOR, Free Realms...  It's pretty cool in my opinion.

Are you sure?  Because, I don't see a lot of people playing Valve games (TF2, HL, L4D), the battlefield series, tom clancy whatever for free suddenly switiching over to a pay model for this game.  It will be F2P with an item shop.

The Agency isn't a FPS.  If it was, then why is it listed on this site?  Out of all the videos I've seen and interviews I've read, the developers never hinted that the game is going to be F2P.  If it was, they would have been saying that it's going to be F2P like SOE did with Free Realms, like NCSoft did with Guild Wars, etc etc.

I'm pretty sure The Agency isn't going to be F2P.

I, as well, like the graphics.  It's similar to The Agency and TF2.  Heh

My first character will most likely be a U.N.I.T.E Agent.  However, I'll try ParaGON later on.

If only I was good in CGI...heh.  I would have applied for the job.  I'm taking 3D modelling next semester at my college but that's like the basic level in it.

Nice screens, too bad it will be ruined with the payment system.

Agreed. :(

Yeah. :|  But anyways, screenshots look great imo.

I'm assuming this is for PoS3 only?  Havn't cared to look, anyway I would try any MMO regardless if it was cash shop attached or not!  However I won't spend what little money I have for gaming on a PoS3 just for this....heh  I've played and enjoyed many of Asian F2P MMOs with cash shops too.

Would be nice if SoE would stop being so dumb about all their MMOs and stop ruining them!  Kinda odd that they keep doing this and makes me wonder how many players keep supporting these ideas for SOE to keep doing what they do.

It's going to be available for PC as well.  The more I read about this game, the more I wanna play it (a bit effy with the RMT though but maybe they'll change their mind...LOL).  Heh  The whole operative description sounds really interesting imo.

I'm sorry but new hairs and new dances is not a "winning formula".  LoL  The storyline in WoW is complete rubbish.  WoW was good before Burning Crusade.  In fact, it was really good but as soon as they ruined the storyline with raiders killing Illidan, I lost respect for Blizzard.  I know for a fact that they going to kill off Arthas is some retarded way like they did with Illidan.  PvPers wouldn't care about that but people who actually do care about what's happening storyline wise will not play the game.  After killing Arthas, what's going to be left?  Forsaken is going to leave the Horde because they achieved their goal.  I can go on and on but just thinking about it is giving me a headache.  Heh  Play WC3 and you'll understand.  As for it outselling TBC, idk about that.   Many people are not happy with the outcome of TBC.  Only people I see getting the next expansion are either fanboys or people who don't have any other MMO to play.

I believe it's going to be exactly like Burning Crusade but probably worse.  All epics are going to be obselete with equipment off bears in WOTLK.  Endgame will still be the same as it was before.  PVP will still be unbalanced.  Storyline is going to be even more retarded than it is already.    Oh yeah, and all races can be Death Knights...ummm...wtf!?  Also, Frost Mourn is going to be a Bind on Pick Up.

I tried this game on release but it was not for me - just did not like the style.

Do people still play this on mass or is it a small but dedicated community. I do not recall seeing many news features about it and this one has my curiosity up.

I guess there must be enough subscriber revenue to justify the continued content support but I wonder if this code addition is quite simple to repeat and whether the loyal community that still plays can hope for, assuming they do not currently get, expansion packs and new content.

 

 

Community is small but dedicated...

I tried to get back into this game but idk...the lack of events happening didn't spark the interest in it and this appearing is fairly late to the last one that happened.  What the game needs is more content imo and more players.  Yeah, quality > quantity but walking around in a ghost town full of npcs isn't neccesarily mmo'ish...after all mmo does stand for mass multiplayer online.  Some argue the lack of redpills in Matrix Online is the same as in the movies but if the game was exactly like the movies, then why are their hackers within Matrix Online.  Throughout all three movies, I've never seen redpills typing on a keyboard that magically appears and creating viruses...  Yeah yeah, all mmo's need spellcasters but I'm bringing up the point of it not being like the movies.  If this game had the same gameplay as Enter the Matrix & Path of Neo, no doubt will people play it.  Also, it boggles my mind why they change the cinema for the game from actual models within the game to drawing that reminds me of the 70s Spiderman cartoon...

Should wait for Warhammer because I heard there's lots of pvp there.  I haven't tried beta yet cause I didn't get invited yet.  Now that I think about it, is beta even up for that game? LoL

The Agency for me.  When I first saw previews for that game, it caught my interest because there's no spy  theme mmos out there (that's I'm aware of).  I've seen an Alpha version of the game on X-Play and it looks cool imo.  Too bad the website has like no info on the game.  LoL

Isn't Tabula Rasa space'ish? Heh  Idk if it has space customization so yeah...  But yeah, you're best bet for a space MMORPG is Eve.
