We are sorry to announce that the External Playtest server will not be opening until after the holidays. The team has been working hard to implement the Combat Revision 2.0 changes on our experimental branch, but there are some remaining issues that make it unfeasible to ask players to test the system at this time. We appreciate the community’s enthusiasm about testing CR2.0 and want to make sure that your first experience with the changes is a positive one.

The timing of making the Combat Revision 2.0 changes to the live game is based upon getting community feedback from the Experimental Playtest server and having time to act upon that feedback. We believe the changes are critical to the continued success of The Matrix Online and will not be releasing the changes to the live game until they are ready. We will determine the release date of CR2.0 once we have the External Playtest server open and the community has had time to submit feedback to the team.

This was not an easy decision for the team to make as we are excited about putting Combat Revision 2.0 up for the community to review. We hope you understand our reasons for delaying the opening of the External Playtest server and appreciate your patience.
