Any existing pre-paid MxO service time on a player’s MxO account at the time of the August 15th transition will automatically be added to the new Station MxO account.

New players joining MxO for the first time must activate their service through the SOE Station registration site. For former players returning to MxO, a new account will need to be initiated through the Station service platform or the MxO service will need to be added to an existing Station or Station Access subscription account.

Once players have provided or updated their account information through the SOE Station site, they’ll be able to log-in to MxO through their newly created or updated Station account.

To thank MxO players for continuing their subscription to the game, SOE is making some special offers. First, every player that converts an existing MxO account to a Station MxO account between August 15, 2005 and September 30, 2005 will receive an additional 30 days of game time added to the end of their first SOE Station MxO billing cycle at no additional charge. This bonus time will be added to the end of the first paid month/period on the new SOE Station MxO account.

In addition to the bonus game time, existing accounts that transfer to SOE on or before September 30th will receive a special in-game gift token. The token can be redeemed at a special Vendor for an exclusive “Enhanced” gift item – a pair of sunglasses or a jacket for use with all characters (this item will be available for redemption until claimed.) When dropped into the player’s hotbar, these items will boost Combat Tactics, Viral Transmission, and Viral Deflection scores by 5 points for 10 seconds.

SOE appreciates the community’s support throughout this transition period, and we are looking forward to introducing a great deal of new intrigue and adventure into the world of The Matrix Online.
