I never played this either, but I remember when they killed Morpheus. Seemed cool, but at the time I didn't have a pc that would run it.
I tried it when I bought the station access pack a few years ago. I found the game to be boring and repetitive, and was devoid of live back then. I can't imagine how desolate the servers must be now.
I remember reading about The Matrix Online, it seemed like the story events, or whatever you call them, were actually pretty cool.
Sad face :(

They killed Morpheus? Interesting. I regret not playing this either, but it's too late now though I guess. I will not make the same mistake with Old Republic, definitely be a first day sign-up
I played this game, and it was really alot of fun, even with everything that happened to it. METHOD FOR LIFE!
This is a sad day indeed.

This is one reason why I don't play MMOs. My copy of Earthbound will always be there, waiting for me to play it. Even if it breaks, I can find another, and I can play it. MMOs, if the dev stops supporting it, you're pretty much done.
Of course, there can be fan-run servers, but then you're at the whims of people who might not really know what's best for the game, rather what they think is best.

I played many moons ago and remember quite enjoying it. It's kinda too bad that it's done but really it doesn't matter
@shenazin: Even so, most mmos have a pretty much indefinite lifespan. MXO always had problems..so while sad, its not exactly suprising
Yeah they might have fixed the game up but it was garbage at launch.
That's the case with a lot of these doomed MMOS: they're actually pretty good later in their lifespan, because a) the game gets completed, like it should have been at launch, b) the server stress that typically causes the servers to explode regularly in the first few months goes away, and c) desperation forces the devs to work hard to make improvements.

Shame, not sure if my PC can handle it, and to go in for a month prolly wouldn't be much. Hopefully they can adapt the story elements into something, whether just a picture 'book' or a standalone version, but I'd like something with which to get a sense of how things were. Which factions were there? The Neo-phites (led by Kid *uncertain "whoo"*), the Machine allies (kinda Cypher without the dick moves), and the Merovingians bitches (or whatever Frenchy cuss he'd roll out from his digi-lips). I'd've sided with the Machines -- best VR graphics evar, amirite?
@hitnrun: some of em even survive and go on to be healthy. DDO did it. Vanguard seems to be doing it. hell. even age of conan somehow is despite not really doing the ficing part. But some, like MxO or Tabula rasa just dont do it fast enough
Yeah, this is kind of sad. I always kind of had it in the back of my mind that I would give it a try eventually, but I guess I missed my shot.
Oh well, here's hoping they at least go the Tabula Rasa route, and end things with some kind of badass game-wide story event.

Yep it was a terrible game, most of the things they were going for just don't work as a MMORPG. The devs on any MMORPG seem like they're excited and dedicated to the game, no matter how bad it is. Like how Richard Garriot pretended he was happy at NCsoft then quit and sued them later.
I really liked this game for the nearly 4 years I played. The dynamic story and live events made it a much better gaming environment for me than pre-scripted content. I know that for most typical gamers, this game was worth nothing at all, but for an hardcore roleplayer and event organizer, this game was the best environment for storyline-based content, based on a modern cyberpunk world, and not cookie-cutter fantasy. The quality of experiences I got in this game make me quite uninterested in any present or upcoming MMO on the market.
