The Matrix Online Launches

Another large, commercially built virtual world has launched. The MMORPG Matrix Online, based on the popular Matrix movie series, is now online and accepting red pills. From the launch announcement: "...a specialized role-playing live events team at Monolith will assume the roles of the actual Matrix characters and support the continuation of the game's storyline through choreographed interaction. Players will meet, battle and eventually team up with the familiar characters on high-profile missions or at player-organized events."

PvP is good. Its fairly balanced and a lot of fun.

The classes are interesting. Its the first game I've seen to get a hybrid right (shaman).

The quest system isn't standard fare. The closest to its quest system I've seen is FFXI, which has way too much grind.

YOu can solo 90% of it. Thats great, I hate waiting for groups to form up and needing perfectly balanced groups to do anything.

I like a lot of their world design. Maybe not better than everyone else (FFXI was good, for example), but I like the feel of the differnt zones.

Its pretty standard Blizzard wise- they rarely do anything amazingly new, but they do an amazing job of eliminating the boring parts and polishing the fun parts.
