IMO this game is not a failure, the game is just a bit different then others and you have to like that or not.

Just as a side note, the above is sarcasm aimed at some of the trolls who lurk these boards.
As for MxO, its pretty unknown and underapprechiated but theres a definate player base. Its a pretty friendly tight knit community/game waiting for a grand return and their time to shine.
and in responce to 'total failure' that was launch. That was coming up 2 years ago. A lot can change in that timespan
Not just roleplay. The passive observation of the storyline (mostly text, which is, well, equivalent to dialogue in movies) can also be very interesting.
And I've already said that, there can be aswell intelligent vampire roleplay. Even if it's "off-the-wall" (meaning, not in accordance to the game mechanigcs etc.).
Should I repeat myself again? You can get a more or less representative impression of roleplayers when reading live event logs. Those who actually roleplay (instead of talking childish trash or embarassingly not being able to remain IC) are actually quite good, to excellent. And very little vampires.
But maybe that's not such a representative insight...
And here we have people, a beautiful example of the current community in MxO. Go forth, play and enjoy....
As to the topic, MxO is a wonderful world that sadly was neglected in terms of actual gameplay. Bugs and exploits plagued it for a very long time (still does) and it went through disastrous launch and eventually a change of company fairly early in it's life.
The game certainly stands much better today then it day this time last year, sadly though it's still not that great. Combat is awkward and a chore at best, performance is decent but still needs to be toned down on even very strong systems, the community is ravagely agressive and generally mean spirited if not almost completely impossible to get into for newcommers and there's very little content that will last you past a month.
As others have mentioned, where the game does shine is it's RP possiblity's and Sand-Box like environment. With a miriad of emotes, clubs and basically nothing else to do, well it's basically all your left with past 30 or 40 days or so. Unfortunately RP'ing isn't all that supported past what I mentioned above.
In beta v1.12 it was possible to actually own a part of the map, factions would fight it through local quests and try to earn the territory, if your faction did that then you could actually control a part of a building or real-estate, like a club or appartment which gave you a feeling of ownership in the Matrix. None of this even ever made it into release which was sad because it actually added gameplay and fun.
Important Information regarding Posting and You
Sorry noob. I didn't mean to offend you, don't bite me.
As far as the game being dead.....that's pretty laughable. In the two years its been out the game has had 49 updates. That's way more than most games on the market. The development team truely cares about their playerbase and for that I am appreciative.
Another thing worth noting is that the game is not for the timid. It definately isn't your average cookie cutter mmorpg. There really is no hand holding to tell you what to do. It's the matrix for gods sake.........thats just not the way the matrix is. The things you can do in the game are awe-inspiring. The graphics.........they just man-handle other games(useropts.cfg ftw!). So.......try not to listen to the haters and try it for yourself if you're curious and bored of all the other run of the mill junk floating around there.
Oh yeah........live events daily.......pretty cool stuff hehe.
PEACE!
how many devs will make signatures in a signature comp for other players??
Rarebit (our head dev) will
MxO and it forums are 1 game basically, you get attention on the forums from devs, you will get attention in game.
Also this game is run by favortism.
Graphics are Great! Combat is Great! Community is blah, i careless.
thats not true, the devs will choose a faction to use the faction broadcast or contact key players who are known to pass information down through to other factions.
either that or they send a server message and everybody gets to participate, also if you wanna get noticed all you have to do is wear a vampire mask and act like a lesbian
System messages are bugged, cause i wasn't getting half of them when i was in CR2
And I really don't believe that. Maybe a few do have such factionmates, but all in all, it seems the people want new subscribers to improve the game, and defend it because they like it.
There isn't a conspiracy behind everything.
Just in case :P
But, alas, no. LESIG characters don't like me. But I'm still defending the game.
because it's my first MMO, I've tried the other big names, and nothing ever sat like The Matrix Online did.
It will always be the best pick in my eyes, but, to each his own.
