What separates MxO from all the other MMORPG's, will it be groundbreaking in any sense (aside from the combat system) or will it do what has already been done but just in a better way.

William Westwater: The Matrix represents an alternative perspective on character progress as you are defined not merely by your past accomplishments, but also by your latest program loadout. Your abilities are flexible and configurable. You tired of playing as a crafter. No problem, reconfigure as a soldier. You want to garrot someone or learn the punt, but you've been spending weeks as a healer. No problem. With the right collection of programs, the sky's the limit on character definition.
