Actually, while I do agree with you, Sam, MO may score some players for some time, since it is one of the few MMORPG that is not fantasy. And it is not sci-fi either.
But not that much and not for long. It will be a huge flop, together with MEO and DnD Online |

I hope you are wrong. I'm no Matrix fanboy, but I do like the premise of the game. You gotta admit, an MMO ties in perfectly with the Matrix storyline. And as you mentioned before, it's not traditional RPG fantasy. Big guy with sword? Been there, done that. And the community seems much nicer than the one from my old MMO.
The only thing that can screw up this game IMHO is the stigma of the last two movies. People just kind of went ".....eeh". If it's a good game in it's in own right, it should be fine. |

The game is very reminescent of AO, and AO seemed to have found it niche and is still kicking around. There are also lots of fanbois around to keep it going for a while. The game has official backing of WB and the W brothers (or whatever they are supposed to be called these days) will certainly pour lots of $$ into it to keep (supposedly) their intellectual property hot and ongoing. Finally, the game seems to be the first major hitter to deliver on the promise of a dynamic storyline by hiring a professional writer as well as 20+ actors to act major character parts in real time and get the public involved. Their content managers or whatever they are called have been actively playing major faction characters (Morpheus, the Franchman, etc.) in the game to get people active in the politics of the game.
All of those things don't guarantee success, but I do believe that it has a chance of being a sleeper hit. Or at least a sleeper survivor.

I want to retract my vote for this. I had some drama in WoW over how people acted. I found MxO. People there seemed cool. Mature, yet loose enough to have fun. So I'm frothing at the mouth to play this game. I even order a new computer. Someone raised an issue of bringing back some old beta forums. I disagreed because I didn't see the value at first. After w-a-y too many dramatic page-long posts by myself and others, I'm just burned out on MMOs period.
The thing that got me is the person that flamed and flamebaited me the most hid behind "let's act civil". I know enough corporate speak games to see through that bullshit. And when I call them on it, in the same civil tone they advocate, then I'm the bad guy. I'm the "flamer".
I don't know if I'm making any sense or not, but I feel stupid for ever trying both WoW and MxO. It's spring. I'm turning off the computer and going outside. |

Yes, the long winter is over, finally. Got to get some sun!
I love this game, I'm playing it solo, on teams, and despite my dialup lag it's mostly enjoyable. The community is a big thing. Some ALL CAPS children but tolerable for the most part. Everybody has an understanding of the story through the movie franchise.
I used to play AO but quit after they started Shadowlands. Keep the swords & sorcery to a minimum in MxO and I'll keep playing.
