The Matrix Going Massively Multiplayer
Chembro writes "Looks as though Ubi Soft is making a Matrix MMORPG. Everything is still pretty sketchy now that Revolutions has "ended" the series, but so far it seems pretty interesting. I wonder when the game will be placed (i.e. before Revolutions or after) but this could be the way the Wachowski brothers keep the universe going and how it will end. Pretty cool if you ask me."
as long as my avatar doesn't take as long as trinity to die in the game I'll be happy. Imagine having to wait 20 minutes to respawn...
Note to self: No more arguing with the faithful.
Many, many moons ago this was announced, and it explained that it would take place after Revolutions, which ruled out many possible endings of the series...
First the review of nVidia cards that came out weeks ago and now this? What next, an article about leaked rumours that there might be a sequel to Kill Bill : Volume One?
* Call to Tech Support.
...
Caller: Yeah, um, are you guys going to fix the lag issues? I'm having some major problems. The screen refreshes at 10fps, my player barely moves, characters pop in and out of the frame.
Support: What kind of processor are you running?
Caller: Well above the specs you need, and I'm sitting on a DS3 connection.
Support: I see...
Caller:
Support: (consulting PR manual) It's not server lag... it's... bullet time!
Small potatoes make the steak look bigger.
...will there be a linux version of this? or are only the win32 hackers allowed to enter the matrix?
At last! Now I can get out to realty world. good bye matrix world! ...wait a minute, this is just a game. bleh!
well.. it will just be so laggy that everyone will move slow-motion.
world was created 5 seconds before this post as it is.
Wait....a Matrix MMORPG...aren't we already in that?
Or are we still in the real world...and this is how it really all begins?

No, you can't, spoon.

You won't play a rebel fighting the matrix, ro anything like that. The game will be the matrix! You'll go to work, come home, and manage your life. Just think The Sims, only first person! ^_^
I saw a leaked version of the user manual PDF. Apparently you're supposed to put in the CD, lay naked in a bathtub of strawberry Jello, and have a friend shove a metal spike in the back of your neck. I'm sure real Matrix fans won't have a problem with this, but personally I prefer orange Jello.
1) Release the Matrix series.
2) Announce a MMORPG, with monthly changes.
3) Take subscriptions.
4) Charge monthly. "You are already playing it!"
5) Sue everyone alive who didn't subscribe for copyright violation.
Caveat: They may demand process in the Real World.

If you're looking to get into real estate, there are courses available. I'd be surprised if they didn't offer such courses in the Matrix.
that its new online multiplayer Matrix game
has been infected by a malicious computer virus.
The virus changes all player characters
to look and sound like the evil Agent Smith.
Warner executives say they are baffled:
"we certainly didn't see this coming,
and we're not sure yet how to fix it."
Go out of the matrix in the real world? Is that some kind of plan to drive mmorpg addicts away from their computer?
Hi, I'm Troy McClure...you may remember me from such MMORPG's as "Pokemon Online" and "Michael Jackson's World of Weasles"

You'r welcome. In addition, both Shane and Old Yeller die.

"It even took over my avatar!" Said one of the DMs, who calls herself as The Oracle. One game tester, that played in all the 6 beta versions says he is going to get back into the game to use his high level character Da' 0|\|3 to solve the situation.

Thouands of people will be playing like thouands of people, who wake up, brush their teat, eat breakfast, travel to work, put in 8 hours behind a desk, travel home again. Flatten out on the sofa watching big brother. Occasionally do some shopping and go to the toilet(not at the same time). Try to make points with the boss, earn some bucks. And once a year they'll reboot everything and you start all over.
Cool game.
If Google really cared they would fix Android Chrome to reflow text, instead of discriminating
So what happens when people crack the game server and start modifying it?
Neo: Are you saying I can get a subscription to this MMORPG?
Morpheus: When you're ready, you won't have to...
It comes with a special controller that goes from the PC or gaming console straight to "any part of your skin"
I've heard it already supports over six billion.
Do you even read the links you submit?
It's okay, because CmdrTaco evidently doesn't read his own website.
"So what happens when people crack the game server and start modifying it?"
For some people, the game will crash, and they'll find themselves in the real world. Out of anger, they'll rise and try to bring the servers down, thus freeing everybody.
