The Matrix Online News - New Features & Fixes

Posted by Alexander Chopra on Apr 02, 2005  | 0 comments in our forums

Several new features and improvements to game play have been made to The Matrix Online. The new patch includes many updates including an in-game media player.

Read the full article below:

The MxO team is working hard to make improvements based on feedback we are getting from the community. If you haven't jacked-in recently, now is the time to take another look at The Matrix Online.

The latest patch version introduces several new features and improvements to the game like special beta tester clothing and an in-game media player. The largest new addition to The Matrix Online is the in-game media player
that allows users to play any file type supported by Windows Media Player, such as media streams, playlists, and local files.

Another large addition to this update will be the introduction of special beta tester clothing. This unique beta tester gear will be automatically deposited into the inventories of every former beta tester in the game. The clothing was specially designed by The Matrix Online Art Team, and is exclusive to former beta testers. Other changes included in this update are an increase in player inventory capacities, and the introduction of Organization vs. Organization PvP combat.
