The Matrix Online turns 3 today!
So I decided to check out MXO after three years now. I'm always skeptical about joining new mmo's and this one was a title that I originally wanted to check out back when it was in beta. However all the negative press, high technical requirements, and average reviews made me pass on it. Three years later it has an anniversary today and since I feel mmo's are usually more improved years after their release since most stuff is fixed and improved - I'll give it a whirl on my DX10 laptop.
The game is surprisingly fun if your a huge fan of the Matrix films. Sci-Fi mmo's don't ever get any slack cut for them since the most popular ones are the traditional cliché knights, swords, and magic. While I can see it having some graphical issues, they seemed minor compared to what I read at release. Lastly, the most impressive thing I noticed about MXO is the community. They are the most friendly, helpful, and non-obnoxious (juvenile behavior, n00b calling, '1337' attitudes) mmo crowd I've met. Even the forums are so welcoming and friendly. Heck the moment I jacked in this really nice girl gave me a tour and shown me around the game.
Overall I kind of wish I didn't wait out all these years on MXO, but I can say if your not a fan of the movies even by a little - then search further for your clichés.
