Tonight, The Matrix Online dies. [shortblog]
IroN1c \| 2:56 PM on 07.31.2009	8 comments

For me, it’s fascinating to see a MMO taking it’s last breath. That’s what will happen tonight to The Matrix Online. Published in 2005 by Sega, then transfered to Sony Online Entertainment the game could never fulfill it’s expectations – well, most people just didn’t care or lost sight of the development and simply forgot it. I’ll be there to check out the “party till the plug is pulled!”, as it’s called by Sony. Everyone is invited to join, so you can go to the official site, sign up and get into the game in it's last moments. I’ll be there and post pictures of it later!

I guess this is one positive to peer-to-peer servers... theoretically, the games can always be played as they aren't reliant on a corporate server... then again, peer-to-peer servers are restrictive and lag is often an issue. :(

It's sort of sad whenever you see game servers shutting down.

Was it even any good? I really wanted to get into it, it's an MMO with a constantly changing world and evolving storyline.

@Elsa
Most P2P hosting requires servers also

Giant Bomb is having a live stream of the last hours tonight. Ryan and Vinny have been doing hour-long playthroughs for a while now, and they're damn pretty funny.

Shame to see it go, I never got a chance to play it. Hope the people who played it enjoyed it :]

Never played it... but god I love the first movie. It's what pushed me towards being a philosophy major.
