They seem to be spamming me to get me to subscribe.
Title: Re: Interesting email from MxO support Post by: schild on April 15, 2005, 10:21:14 AM I wouldn't be surprised if the game has less than 50,000 people. My EB sold ONE copy. Has like 40 out.

The two sequels and the dog that was Enter the Matrix ruined the franchise. The first Matrix kicks all kinds of ass, but the game apparently build on the stuff from the sequels so you cannot ignore their existence.Oh, and word of mouth from the beta and all that.

Title: Re: Interesting email from MxO support Post by: Furiously on April 15, 2005, 01:50:33 PM Thought EQ2 already was a free download for a trial.

You just get the isle of refuge, and the tutorial. A total of... tutorial(boat) isle of refuge crafting instance orc cave 4 zones. maybe one more if you they give you the normal char select zone, instead of re-using the boat. I believe you still have to go buy a box for the key to get into the full game.

Manager buddy at a Gamestop says he hasn't seen a single copy sell. My laughter to all those who actually bought the game.

Y'know, it really isn't any worse (or better) than every other MMO out there. That being said, I got lucky and canceled my online preorder just in time. It was a good way of getting a free peak though. Title: Re: Interesting email from MxO support Post by: Murgos on April 16, 2005, 06:47:23 AM I have an unopened box that I got for free. Maybe I will play it sometime this summer.
Title: Re: Interesting email from MxO support Post by: AOFanboi on April 16, 2005, 11:25:42 AM Does the game really have PvE combat with built-in griefing (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=58660)? Count me out.
Quote from: Eurogamer Both combat methods basically work. By themselves. But when both happen at once, the game imbalances horrifically. You see, once you're inside Interlock, your next attack only takes place once the animation has played out. These are inevitably much longer than the time it takes for a ranged-combat timer to recharge, meaning that once Interlock is engaged the participants can be bombarded with attacks from the outer world. So while a martial arts fighter may perform one attack on his foe, and they one in return, anyone outside would have time for three-or-so bursts of machinegun fire against them. Standing there getting perforated by nine-millimetre shells while you wait for your opponent to get up is one of those unique Matrix-moments you'll recall fondly to your children. "Interlock" being a turn-based mano-a-mano melee combat system.Title: Re: Interesting email from MxO support Post by: NiX on April 16, 2005, 01:14:28 PM I have an unopened box that I got for free. Maybe I will play it sometime this summer. Me too! Customer tried to trade it in, couldn't do that and so he left it in my gentle care. I'm tempted to burn it. Unless Schild wants me to actually review it.. in some capacity.

Only if you write the whole review in the style Morpheus talks. Title: Re: Interesting email from MxO support Post by: stray on April 16, 2005, 02:34:12 PM I'm tempted to burn it.

Title: Re: Interesting email from MxO support Post by: Jain Zar on April 16, 2005, 02:35:04 PM I played for 2 hours in the open beta. It wasn't very good at all. Warping, uncompletable missions, dull combat...
