WoW this is surprising, I didn't think they where this far along.
I'll be interested in hearing the results...

Achievers realise that killers as a concept are necessary in order to make achievement meaningful and worthwhile (there being no way to "lose" the game if any fool can "win" just by plodding slowly unchallenged). -bartle

Same with me. I thought it was going to die out or something with it up in the air trying to decide to continue on with it. Wondering what people are going to say about it: a good MMORPG or another Enter the Matrix.

Supposedly there is a movie on the the 3rd Matrix movie DVD that really shows this game off.
Anyone know if it is posted on the Matrix site....I looked around and didn't find any movies for the game.

I didn't signed up because you have to live in the US or Canada to be able to apply. So i will now move to US and or Canada
nah i will stay here and hope they will do a sort of european or that i get in in in more open beta-stages because you can't smoke weed in US or Canada
One day all will die, surely you but never I.

I dont want to be a spoilsport but some years ago the news of a matrix MMORPG would have thrilled me like no other thing.
Now - nothing. Reloaded and Revolutions really made me lose interest in the franchise. Plus the desaster that was EtM, plus the game movie on the Revolutions DVD looked really really bad. It was, like, 3 Scenes from the game repeated over and over again for about 10 minutes from different angles. The graphics seemed like DAoC and what you could see from the gameplay in this 3 scenes looked terribly boring.
Just my 2 (euro)cents.

I signed up, but when does the beta start? Has it started already?
I applied for the beta, it was relatively simple and I had no troubles (unlike the troubles I am STILL having trying to sign up for EQ2 beta).
At first I was skeptical about MxO, but I now I am really looking forward to it. I hope I get picked to test!
I just watched the short video about MxO on the 2nd disc in Revolutions DVD. It looks so cool, and it was funny because that very same day I mentioned to my friends that this idea of The Matrix Online fits so perfectly with massively multiplayer online gaming because we, essentially, plug ourselves into the game and become the "digital image" of ourselves while playing. It's cool. See you there soon
Although I went ahead and signed up for the beta, I find it slightly disconcerting that I've been on their mailing list for a while, have received maybe 2 matrixonline newsletters, and have yet to receive any notification that they were accepting beta applications.
In my opinion, they should have a performance test, or make you submit your DxDiag, to weed out people with shitty systems, and in turn make room for the people who are actually qualified to beta test the damned game.
Well all you guys in the US, I guess we will have to wait to hear what you think of it, until we get access in Europe.
Let's hope they have made a good job of it.
