The Matrix Online has recapped the E3 events and released a journal-style article to share.Here below is just a snippet,you can head here for the full scoop:

Believe it or not, after 5 years in the industry, this was my first E3 I ever attended. The closest I had been before was being on the home office side of the 2004 demo for The Matrix Online. I�d heard plenty of stories about noise, crowds, and the somewhat-clad booth babes, and wasn�t quite sure what to expect this year.

This was only the second time MxO would appear at E3 and I was excited to show off the game to interested people. As I saw at Fan Faire this year, the game gets better looking as PC equipment gets better and less expensive. I knew we�d be showing off a game that looked as good or better than a lot of MMOs on the floor�even given we�re a year old now.

Tuesday, May 9

Just before leaving for SeaTac airport Tuesday morning, I got a call from the studio. It turns out there was a problem with the player client that prevented our in-game concert videos from playing. I had to leave things in the capable hands of Colin, one of our other producers, and checked in throughout the day on progress. The team cranked out two patches that day, with the second one being prepared for testing at 1AM Wednesday morning and release at 4AM. It looked to be the beginning of a long week for me.

I arrived in LA and went to the convention center with Matt Wilson, the Seattle studio head, to check out the venue. Dan Binter had already been there to make sure things were up and running, so it was mostly a fly-by on my part.

While I�d been planning on running the game at 1600x1200, Dan took it one step further. He had MxO at 1920x1200 with full graphic options going and it was running smooth as butter. Throw in Combat Revision 2.0 and I simply couldn�t wait to see peoples� reactions to today�s MxO.
