    He has done a lot of voice acting for The Matrix franchise. You do not know what you are talking about.

    Neo's dead by the time the game takes place. That would explain Keanu's lack of voice participation.

    I'm playing the beta, and I have to admit, before I started playing, I wasn't really interested myself. But, since I have time on my hands waiting for WoW, I figured I'd give it a shot. I am also a veteran MMORPG addict ;)

    Surprisingly, it's a lot better than I thought it would be. I have to say, I really like the combat system. I can't really talk too much about it, since it's under NDA still, but I will say that I won't be surprised if they ends up being a contender at some point. Mainly because it breaks out from the traditional areas of the MMO's. The Matrix Online is one of the few that isn't set in a typical fantasy time period. Aside from space-based MMO's like Eve and Earth & Beyond, these are few and far between. With the title and the trademark, and the addition of these voice actors, I think it'll be quick to grab a piece of the cake that is the current MMO market.
