Matrix Online Sold To SOE?

Posted by Zonk on from the unplugging-the-tanks dept.

SirBruce writes "Corpnews is reporting that two separate sources have told them The Matrix Online has been sold to Sony Online Entertainment. Monolith is getting out of the MMO business altogether. SOE has also acquired the rights from Monolith for another MMO that was in development but recently cancelled a DC Comics MMOG. (ed: Remember the DC vs. NCSoft squabble?) Most of Monlith's MMO employees are being laid off with SOE taking over." Commentary at Plaguelands. Obviously at this point still just a rumour, so have some salt with this news.

    Thanks. I was wondering why Morpheus was back in the game, but was now trying to sell everyone PSP's: "Free your mind by looking at this cool color screen!"

    No, that's the sound of all fifteen Matrix Online subscribers screaming out in agony as the Empire approaces. And then... Silence.

    Its not offtopic, you apparently have no idea how SOE operates its MMORPGs. Play a SOE game before you mod me down, you uninformed clod.

    Now all we have to do is wait for sony to incorporate their new nueral interface technology, and we can all finally be "the one".
