How well do u think this game will be played or how many people do u think will join it. I know a few people who cant wait to play it ill more then likely play it just to see what its like and if its anything like SWG or Everquest.
I hope to God that it is nothing like SWG and Everquest. SWG is complete garbage, and I EQ is not my type of game. We want something new for fucking sake!

From what I have seen of the game on the special features section of my matrix revolution DVD and also from their website the game looks pretty solid. Has kind of a cyberpunk look to it and the combat is supposed to be kind of a 3rd person shooter style. It looks kind of cool. If they go with an open beta I will definitely give it a try.
As far as buying it just to see if its any good I dont think that is going to happen.

Critical thinking is a desire to seek, patience to doubt, fondness to meditate, slowness to assert, readiness to consider, carefulness to dispose and set in order; and hatred for every kind of imposture.
I think itll start and flop because I cant see it having any depth. I think itll get repetitive and everyone will get bored and move on. But thats just my opinion. I hope it turns out great but I have my doubts. I may tr out an open beta if there is one and if im bored.
MxO is crap. It doesn't make me jump into it like WoW does.
Also, they need to have more servers open because during the coming weeks, thousands of people will be logging on at the same time, on the same server. Last night, it was "unplayable" because of the large amount of lag.
I played fine last night, the night before I was screwed, must depend on locale I guess. Yes, the game has a plethora of problems...

I got in for about 15 minutes at about 5 last night when the servers went up, but I couldn't get elevators panels to work, so I relogged, and couldn't get back in until about 9:30. Kept getting the BSOD. And then even after I did get in, I was constantly getting stuck in doorways, and rubberbanding back, so after about an hour I said the hell with it and watched a movie.
Shame, as I've been looking forward to a nice cyberpunk type game for so long. Maybe it's just a pipedream. And before anyone mentions AO, or Neocron, I want a good cyberpunk type game. Think something along the lines of the Shadowrun games for SNES, and Genesis, except as MMO's.
Hey Cold, I was in the QA server for a while just now. Leveled nicely and fought well. Got tons of items, best gameplay yet. Elevators worked, doors, fighting, first time I did not have an error, very lucky. Found some nice enhanced clothing too. E-Mail me for my name in that server bro.. GOing into Beta in a bit with other..

I was on for a while. I've managed to hit level 5, and complete enough missions that I've maxed my current skills, now I just need to hit the skill vendor so I can get some of the new ones I need.
I am Lvl 4 on both servers now, almost 5th on each. I need to find a specific skill on an abilities vender. I am working towards Soldier already. (already in that part of the tree)

this game's going to kick serious tail. no more waiting around for a healer to have a good group, etc. Finally we may have a game that blows away the problems of other mmo's.
Granted, the people looking for another medieval crap game probably won't like it, but aren't you sick and tired of swords and elves? There are so few sci-fi games, and this one at least has the monetary backing to be a GOOD product.
Hey all you guys who have been talking bout beta could u give us some more info?
How is the combat system shaping up? Are you able to constantly switch between skillz and trade them with one another? what type of skllz are there? etc etc
I've got a friend in the beta...He says the beta is laggy and has plenty of bugs, but it's a beta for god's sake, what do u expect (plus a ton of fireplanet.com subscribers just got in, adding to the problems). He's says, past the current bugs, the game is very well made, and that it is far better than any other MMO he's played (I know him from SWG, and he has played CoH, EQ, and a bunch more). The combat is very immersive, nothing like swg. U can't just sit and watch your player fight, cause he'll just block and not attack, u have to select every attack, plus your stance, and a bunch more (plus, the attacks look awesome).
He also says the city is huge, with incredible detail, and he can just play in one of the four districts for beta right now, so imagine how all for districts together will be.
He didn't tell me much about the abiltysystem, but he says it is well done, and is much less restricting than other games, and that the character customization is very, very good.
For those of you that think "MxO is crap", I'd greatly reconsider. From the beta, the game has (at least according to my friend) surpassed just about every other mmo. The story will no doubt be good, since the Wachowski bros are helping write it (and yes, they are actually writing the story, not just putting they're name on it to make some money: I've read a lot of interviews, and done a lot of research). Players will be very immersed in the storyline. A news paper will be regularly released in game, giving hints to story missions, and featuring players who have affected the storys. Some players who have greatly impacted the game will even be featured in videos (their chars, not the actual person) that move the storyline along. If you haven't looked into this game, I highly recommend checking it out.
combat is immersive..? lol It's 75% automated, you sit and watch it hitting a key/clicking the mouse every so often, plus I have NEVER seen PvP, not even once... just Mobs... and it's all the same... you cannot switch skills with other players (learned already). You have to purchase them, upload them on a hardline, then "install" them. The capacity for skills is VERY SMALL... Not much good to say at this point, but it's a long ways from going live... so that is it's only hope IMO.

Game will be alot of fun I think, just needs to have alot of stuf to do besides beat people up.
I think the game will be crap. It is the matrix. What the hell can you do with it besides have a City of Heroes dress up in dated leather skin suits.
I'll just wait until SWG pulls its head out of its ass so I can play it again, or D&D
