Matrix Online went all crazy today. In what can only be seen as a desperate attempt to get any attention out of the gaming press, the massively multiplayer online role playing game based on the movie killed off it's lead character. Morpheus was dropped by a mysterious assassin, but not before the mainstay of the Zionists went shithouse crazy and started planting bombs all over the Matrix in an attempt to reclaim Neo's body.

Stephen Totilo interviewed the guy responsible for the continuing saga for MTV Games and has an interesting story up on the whole thing on the site. I would have been much more excited about the events of the day if someone had managed to ice the NPC accidentally ala Lord British.
