  1. Matrix MMORPG? by Alizarin+Erythrosin · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Wouldn't that be like real life? I mean, that's what the Matrix was right? Eating soup, going to work, grocery shopping...

    But seriously, if you can get your friends to shoot at you and then do the whole slo-mo dodge bullet action that would be pretty cool. (There was a mod for UT that slowed down the game and did trails on the bullets and stuff)

    And from what I've heard of the Star Wars MMORPG, with being able to make your own light sabers(!!!!!) it sounds pretty kick ass

  2. "tens of thousands" by AssFace · · Score: 0, Redundant

    that was what the Matrix press release said in regards to how many users it could have... from what I recall of other systems as well as working on these sorts of things on my own... that really isn't that many? if they said hundreds of thousands... perhaps they meant on one server - that is more impressive.
