Unlike World of Warcraft, in which Blizzard has redefined the term "public beta" by allowing tons of information to be posted about the game during its testing period, Monolith, Sega, and Warner Bros. Interactive have been extraordinarily tight-lipped about one of the most interesting new MMOs coming down the pike: The Matrix Online. Still, that secrecy is finally beginning to crack, starting at E3 where we released the first snippets of information, and continuing with an "Editor's Day" at the Monolith Interactive offices in Seattle, Washington. I, along with several other gaming journalists, had come to a secluded office park to be on hand the very instant the beta test began, the first people outside of the development team to swallow the red pill and finally get to play in the mysterious world of the Matrix.
