The Matrix Online Going Offline

sucks for the people that still want to play it.

This is upsetting but inevitable. Having live content and drenching the game in RP was a wonderful move, but it was completely untenable, and things just started flat-lining towards the end. Bring on another sci-fi MMO?

EVERY. SINGLE. BUILDING. WAS. THE. SAME. 2. LAYOUTS. EVERY. ONE.

The game did have a decent story but the gameplay was very repetitive and there were so many MMO genre staples that were forced in the game didn't feel "Matrixy."

Maybe they can take the story and rework it into a lengthy single player RPG/Action game.

Unfortunately, I played this game for a month or two. Completely repetitive. Get Job, Enter building, go to # floor, kill baddies, enter Elevator, get XP, repeat.

... and nothing of value was lost.

this was still around?!

So where can I catch up on what happens in the matrix universe in the MMO?

I loved the movies (something is wrong with me, I know) but I can't do MMOs. I just want to know what happens in the storyline.

Devs in game killing everyone actually seems kinda cool.

I no longer know kung-fu.

Trend: Games are taking longer to develop than to hit End-of-Life

That, Mr. Anderson, is the sound of... inevitability.

I thought people were playing this like mad crazy zombies?

Aww man what the hell? I just bought this shit...

The game had potential. I have always praised it during its beta. I used to be heavily involved in the community and the live events. The end of beta event was one of my most memorable gaming experiences. That said. Once the game got released, everything started going downhill. Warner Brothers and Monolith bailed instantly. The Wachowski's support was pretty much non existent. I have lost my respect and admiration for them cause of it. Anyway, the game lacked content. Still does as far as i know. The atmosphere was there but most of the music was pretty disappointing.
I don't understand why they couldn't use more music from the movie. The voice actors and their likeness to the characters started being removed. The live events and their writing got sloppier. I mean, giant flies and bug sprays? Fuck off! The original live events were the key element of this game. Without them, the game was nothing but a bore. Finally, the cinematic cut scenes were reduced to pencil drivel. The final nail in the coffin. After that, i completely lost all interest in it. I very much enjoyed the community and the camaraderie of my guild, Children of Zion. I was a bit sad when i left because i have yet to find another Guild that is as a good natured and dedicated as they are. Anyway, i am surprised that it managed to survive this long. Good riddance.

My local WalMart still has 5 copis of Tabula Rasa Collectors Edition ON THE SHELF. Only 30 bucks! I've mentioned to them that the game is closed down, but they said they can't do anything until they get word from head office.

I remember hearing about this game way back in development. I didn't even know it was ever released...

So really it's jacking off

I hope someone else has another try at it in a couple of years. The universe is defiantly well suited to an MMO.

After three years of beta-testing and trying to make this game good, even I had to give it up. This should have happened years ago.

Never knew this game even existed

woah.
