Slated to launch later this month, Monolith Productions' The Matrix Online will extend the saga of the film trilogy, picking up after the end of the third chapter, The Matrix Revolutions. A state of truce exists, but it's a fragile one, with neither the humans nor the machines at ease. In this kind of environment, there are many ways for those who know what's truly real to help determine how the future will unfold. As for how development is progressing, the data stream carrying information about the project only trickled for some time, but during the past several months, we've certainly seen much more. Of course, there's still a huge amount to learn about the title, so it was gratifying when Online Creative Director and Lead Designer Toby Ragaini agreed to share his feelings on an element of considerable importance.
