Morpheus is Dead

MTV Games is reporting that the latest live event in the Matrix Online has permenantly changed the topology of The Matrix: Morpheus is dead. From the article: "Morpheus' demise was not without controversy. In the days leading up to it, the developers' live team, who orchestrate the game's big monthly story-advancing moments, carried out a Wachowski-Chadwick plot that had Morpheus, in the words of some users, 'turning terrorist.' According to storyline, Morpheus wanted to reclaim the body of the fallen Neo, which was being held by the Matrix's machine overlords. Morpheus tried to pressure cooperation by planting bombs throughout the Matrix infrastructure."

Neo died at the end of the third movie, so that one is not surprising. As far as killing off Morpheus goes, I think it is a great idea. If they had maintained the status quo, it would have just been The Matrix Revolutions Continues. This insures that it will stay somewhat fresh and start its OWN STORYLINE

Part of the original plan for TMO was to keep the story going with actors and writers moving the overhead of the game. I hope this works.

Although I don't play this game (or any other MMOs for that matter) I have a feeling that Morpheus will be back.

Huzzah! A game with balls!

I remember reading in the 'Star Trek:TNG' Compendium that each time the writers wanted to do a major shakeup of the status quo, they were rebuffed by the corporate types who were afraid that to shake things up too much would result in having to send their children to in-state colleges versus Harvard or Yale or ASU.
It is refreshing to see that the Washchsocoicococki Brothers were willing to do something dramatic for story's sake instead of just keeping things like they were in the movie.
