Title: MxO merges servers Post by: Soln on July 29, 2005, 09:42:08 AM In me mail this morn: servers from 9 to 3; XP bonus; free creds, yadda yadda kung-fu
Edit: I vote for "Smed's Revenge" or "Regression" or "Haemorrhage" as new world names. Quote Important Information for Subscribers of The Matrix Online Community Update: World Merge The Matrix Online is a game that, ultimately, is about community; for that reason we want to see that players can meet easily and join together in-game for fun and friendship. Recently, members of the community have noted that it can be difficult to find other players in The Matrix: Mega City. The current level of population density can limit opportunities for socializing with other players which are such a key part of our worlds. Bringing Worlds Together On August 2, 2005, we will be merging the nine current worlds into three new worlds. This merge should help to increase the number of players on any world at any given time. One world will be Hostile while the other two will run under normal PvP rules. Here is the breakdown of which worlds are being joined together: Enumerator, Heuristic, Input --> Hostile World Method, Regression, Iterator --> Normal World Proxy, Linenoise, Output --> Normal World Character Transfers and Additional Character Slots In conjunction with the world merge, we'll be providing players with a total of three character slots on each new world. If you have characters on more than one of the merging worlds, they will all be transferred to the applicable new world. If you had fewer than three existing characters, you'll have open slots to create brand new characters. When you log-in after the merge takes place, you'll be able to select which character you'd like to use on any world. You can also select an empty slot to create a new character. Crews and Factions Crew and Faction data will also be carried over to the new server worlds. In the event that your Crew or Faction name conflicts with another Crew or Faction's name on the new world, the Crew or Faction name will have a tag appended to it. If you want to change a modified name after the merge occurs, you'll be able to contact customer service to rename your Crew or Faction. XP and $Info Boost For a limited period of time after the new worlds come online, we'll also be increasing the amount of XP (experience points) and $Info (in-game currency) you can earn. The $Info bonus will apply to gang NPCs and the XP bonus will apply to both gangs and missions. It'll be the perfect time to start a new character in an open slot! We're also including something that players have been asking for, especially those at higher levels. RSI Attribute Reconfiguration Hack Make sure you have an open slot in your Inventory folks, 'cause it's time to hack your RSI Attributes! Every character will receive an RSI Attribute Reconfiguration Hack. This handy little item will allow you to reset your character's Attributes to their original starting values and re-assign Attribute points where you see fit. The RARH only works once, so plan accordingly. New Player-Named Worlds The three new worlds will be just that-all new. (The machines like to keep things tidy.) We're leaving it up to The Matrix Online community to name these new worlds. Players will be able to vote on the possible server names in the Broadcast Depth forum. The three names that get the most votes will be used for the new worlds. Voting begins on Thursday, July 28th, and closes on Friday, July 29th, so players should join in and vote right away! We appreciate your loyalty and continued support for the game and our team. We are very excited about this transition and we hope that, after you see what we have planned, you will be too. See you in The Matrix! For more information on the World Merge, check out www.thematrixonline.com.

The Matrix franchise is too rusty to bring in the crowds, they really spent too much money marketing MxO - money that could have been spent on redesigning the stupidity of the ranged/close combat modes.

Only if the other two are named lolnoob and fuxx0r. Or better yet, name them all after WoW servers.

Well, I'm pretty sure if the entire F13 population signed up and joined one server, we could be the only players on that server.

Title: Re: MxO merges servers Post by: Signe on July 29, 2005, 05:48:00 PM Who let Paelos out of his room?
Title: Re: MxO merges servers Post by: Paelos on July 29, 2005, 06:15:35 PM Who let Paelos out of his room? I had to play in a golf tournament. They'll never get me back in my room now! HAHAHA! :evil: :-D Title: Re: MxO merges servers Post by: Signe on July 29, 2005, 06:43:22 PM Did you win?
Title: Re: MxO merges servers Post by: Paelos on July 29, 2005, 07:48:51 PM It's not over. Three day tourney ending tomorrow.
Title: Re: MxO merges servers Post by: Signe on July 29, 2005, 08:07:55 PM If you don't win, you should just retire to your room in shame.
Title: Re: MxO merges servers Post by: tazelbain on July 29, 2005, 10:10:52 PM It's ok if you lose Paelos, none of us believed in you away.
Title: Re: MxO merges servers Post by: Signe on July 30, 2005, 08:27:10 AM Taz! Shh! There could be money involved!
So... is there a prize if you win? Title: Re: MxO merges servers Post by: Paelos on July 30, 2005, 01:22:59 PM Taz! Shh! There could be money involved! So... is there a prize if you win? It was more of a fun tournament than anything. The "prize" was that there was a bartender station on every third hole over the three days. Couple that with food, gifts, and I also stole a couple of tee markers which were actually beer mugs with nice CC logos. Oh, and there was a free Brooks and Dunn concert involved, so that was cool, plus a dinner tonight with an open bar for the awards ceremony. In short, "winning" has zero to do with my enjoyment in this thing. Title: Re: MxO merges servers Post by: Signe on July 30, 2005, 01:27:35 PM Go to your room.
Title: Re: MxO merges servers Post by: Margalis on July 30, 2005, 01:32:06 PM Rationalizing already!

Boggles the mind, I swear. Title: Re: MxO merges servers Post by: Merusk on July 30, 2005, 06:44:23 PM Suckage and punishment go great together. So long as you're the one doing the punishment.
