Seems Monolith and The Matrix Online choked on that pill....

After repeatedly removing my name from their mailing list I received this in another email:

http://thematrixonline.warnerbros.com/n ... 41505.html

Long survey about what you liked *laugh* or disliked *gets his typing fingers ready* about Matrix Online and other MMORPG's

Needless to say I roasted them nicely. I just love how they thought that everything was all peachy, only to see what the actual gaming community thinks of their "accomplishment" in recreating the Matrix world in a MMO.

I took the survey. The questions were pretty specific and didn't seem to pull any punches. There were a shitload of questions. Probably one of the longest online gaming surveys I have participated in.

That survey was embarassing. Definitly not proofread:
"Question XXXX. Why has your interest The Matrix property decreased? - Hours pr week (enter full number)'"

Gogo good surveys

And as a side note, the absolute worst game to get to leave you alone are The Sims 1. A friend of mine bought it, and while he was installing it on one PC, i registered it on another, with my email. Made an account on their site so i could download some cool extras. Tried to log in....no result.
Gave it 10 min.....no result.
Requested my password send to my email again, just in case i got it wrong or something....no email after 5 min. Requested around 6 more times within the next hour....no result.
Went crazy on the request, still no results the rest of the day, or the next.
3 days after, i got 2 mails with my info...still cant log into the page with it though.
And ever since that day, i get 1-2 mails from them a month with my login/password, which STILL dont work. AND i mean, Sims is OLD now, i still get the bloody mails i asked for over 2 years ago.

Peace, and the things people do to wreck it.

Neo is dead. A truce exists between the people of Zion and the Machines. Morpheus should be happy, but he is not. His life's mission was to find The One. He succeeded, but now his life is without purpose -- or is it? Earlier in The Matrix Online, Morpheus told the Oracle that Neo's physical remains belonged in Zion - in a holy place. He proclaimed that the Machines must return Neo's remains to humanity, and swore that until that happened, he would not rest.

The Hunt for Morpheus event in The Matrix Online began with the disgruntled Morpheus resorting to drastic measures to coerce the Machines into giving up Neo's remains. Empowered with a new mission, Morpheus set off bombs around The Matrix MegaCity. These code bombs threatened the fabric of the Matrix, releasing a virus that would show humans' "reality" and potentially crash the whole system.

Predictably, there quickly followed a ferocious effort to stop him. The Assassin appeared in the Matrix, sent by... someone... to kill Morpheus. The Assassin finally caught up with Morpheus in a waste water treatment plant - which is significant.

Morpheus had finished planting his latest code bomb when he sensed an unusual presence. A buzzing fly betrayed the porcelain-masked Assassin, who took his first shots at Morpheus. Morpheus dodged by jumping over a walkway rail and escaping down a dark alley. As Morpheus fled, the Assassin fantastically flowed through a small vent directly in front of Morpheus. Somehow, the Assassin could bend the rules of the Matrix.

Morpheus was caught off guard and had nowhere to flee. The Assassin opened fire, catching Morpheus in a hail of bullets that even he could not dodge.

It seems impossible to believe - Morpheus is dead.

I guess they needed a hook to get people to keep playing??

Most of the 'live event' storylines and scripts are already written.

I've actually come to like MxO quite a bit. The live events are really interesting.

The game has a lot of bugs, problems and server stability issues but there's something compelling about actually being part of a story as it unfolds.

So it's ok for Monolith but not for Blizzard.

Make up your mind. Are bugs in an MMOG acceptable or not? Or is it only when *you* happen to enjoy the game?

Well you aren't part of the unfolding tapestry weaved into an intricate storyline Noel. My God man, can't you see the difference?

What server do you play on? I don't get on much, but occasionally I like to hop on to see how the storylines are progressing and heckle the hardline campers.

The game does have a whole lot of bugs and the play style is very simplistic, but what they are attempting to do by continuing the Matrix storyline through the live events is novel, and I want to see how it plays out.
