Is anyone in the beta for this game?
I'm pretty skeptical of this particular MMORPG since I didn't think there was much content for a game, but I would like to see a non-fantasy MMORPG that doesn't suck.
I wonder what the mission types will be:

I traded a WOW account for a beta spot in MXO. Worst trade ever, and these guys are right, this will be a giant flop.

When confronted with offensive TV, the fundamental differences between the Conservative and liberal factions becomes blatantly obvious. Conservatives will piss and moan, then file a complaint with the FCC in an attempt to make sure the offending show is never seen by anyone. Liberals... well we just change the damn channel.

Thinking further, what do you think the odds are that it won't even make it to release? The Matrix is practically ancient history by now -- they should have released it last year if they wanted to make money. I can't imagine there is much demand for it at this point.
When the sun goes out, we'll have eight minutes to live.

I think it will prolly see release. The game is not that far from being "done" as it stands. It needs some more work dont get me wrong, but i think that have passed the point where its farther to go back than to go forward.Freezer-TPF- wrote:Thinking further, what do you think the odds are that it won't even make it to release?

Poor, poor Lester.
I'm still betting on it being canned. How much does an MMO launch cost?

Matrix online is on cover of Jan 2005 issue of CGW. Few things I remember from the article
+ The game will be played in the matrix. Interesting comment by a developer who said that with this online game, the fact that players can appear out of thin air (when logging in) will be consistent with the world and setting.
+ The story continues from the end of Matrix: Revolutions. Three factions will be fighting for power in the matrix world - the humans from Zion, machines and rogue agents (like that French guy)
+ Game changing events and story progression will happen periodically through the use of cutscenes. All story updates will be considered "official" Matrix updates. For example, one popular character from the movies will die within few weeks of launch (the article also gives a hint by mentioning four possible characters) starting one of the major quests.
+ Completion of some story progressing quests may only be attributed to one online player ever (may be, per server)
+ The players can't fly like Neo
I don't remember a lot of details about the gameplay as those are also the things I am least interested in (I have never played an MMORPG because of the monthly fee - can't wait for Guild Wars). I read the article mostly to figure out what they are doing with the Matrix story/setting.
