Marix Online has updated the latest the other side of the looking glass featuring the next big update version that are approaching.

Come next Tuesday, that?s what we?ll all be seeing in the launcher window on The Matrix Online. It?s hard to believe it?s finally here; and I don?t think it?s really going to register until the first time we all jack in and see double-hotbars in the Live game.

As anyone visiting the Experimental Playtest server this week can tell you, the devs are getting a bit punchy. We?ve seen everything from Jack-O-Lanterns to the return of the Flame Virus on EP. Which just goes to prove: It?s all fun and games until the whole world gets meatwadded. (Okay, it?s still fun and games after that, but tends to be a nasty surprise.)

What to Expect on Tuesday

Along with Combat Revision 2.0 come some additional things everyone needs to be aware of.

All Character Stats Will Be Reset!

Because of the Stat-cap changes, we?re resetting all character Stats. The first time you log on after Update 42 goes live, make sure you go back in and re-assign your Stat points. You?ll be in for a rude surprise if you venture out into unfriendly territory with all your Stats at their original levels.

Clear Some Inventory Space!

There are two item-grants happening on Tuesday. First: Everyone is getting an RSI Hack. (The item that lets you re-assign your Stat points.) Note: Because this is a unique item, you won?t be granted one if you still have one in your Inventory.

Second: All players who?ve spent some time on the External Playtest server will be getting their Beta baseball-caps. Note: You still have until early Monday morning to qualify for your cap! Jack in and get used to Combat Revision 2.0 now!
