One year ago today, we first opened The Matrix Online to all players. In that time, weˇ®ve seen everything from the death of Morpheus to a move to Sony Online Entertainment. If thereˇ®s one truth to working on The Matrix Online, itˇ®s that there never seems to be a dull moment.
If you missed it, HCFrog went on a bit of a rampage on the External Playtest server yesterday; dropping Jack-O-Lanterns around the Slums and even a Complete Corrupted in the middle of Debir Court. It certainly got us thinking about where weˇ®ve been since launch and where weˇ®re going in the future.
In one week, we begin a new era in The Matrix Online, as Combat Revision 2.0 becomes a reality. As with everything else in the game, it wouldnˇ®t be as good as it is without lots of help from the community. This may be a bit of professional pride on my part, but I believe we have the greatest community of players in any MMO. Thanks to all our players for being supportive and keeping us honest. You all rock!
Iˇ®d also like to take a moment to thank the dev team for being an outstanding group to work with. The Matrix Online runs on their blood, sweat, and tears--along with a good dose of laughter. And, as you can see on the forums, they genuinely like hanging out with and listening to our players. What more could a Community Relations Manager ask for?
On Friday, March 31, 2006, our First Year Anniversary Event begins. Our gift to you: A little Piece of Blue Sky. Be there to find out what itˇ®s all about.
Thanks for a great year!
Cheers,
Walrus
