If, after 2 years, there are still people interested about Matrix Online, they can always be a warning for SOE or, at last, for WB. No? Mah.. I dunno why they rejected the idea to keep the game alive again.
(Yeah, I saw the video of this topic.. but those sentences sounded like sorries\excuses to me).
The first thing that is mentioned in the video is that its a very high priced IP (intellectual property for those that dont know), and that Warner expects to make significant revenue from that. I think that really tells the whole tale - sure the code is bad, but lets face it: if only 300 people want to play that's not "significant" revenue.
And, Hi Arcady!
Sixxth, do the map with me mate. If SOE Fires people in a way that the game cant deliver anymore to its players --> offcourse you are going to end up with 300 people. This was all stages and planned by SOE. All you see in this vid is excuses from SOE like Arcady me and a couple dozen others pointed out. Thats all there is to it men.
Oh, I agree. My point is that they have no reason to make it F2P. They want $$ for the IP, and F2P wont yield it, and neither would reviving it now.
Actually.. you really sure? You really believe that? And F2P wont yield it or infact be actually EVEN BETTER then P2P? Because here is where i think SOE is lacking in strategic thinking or they just wont admit they wont be doing this game F2P because they destroyed the MxO engine to make DC Online or some sort.
What will happen if MxO go's F2P?
Facts are:
- On Youtube there are countless of new people that never played the game yelling: 'Oh FUCK men why did they shut it down! I never had the change playing it!'
- Communities: there are plenty, i mean here there are 3 communities i bet all over a 1000+ subscriptions alone AND... Scattered communities in social media networks like myspace, facebook etc.
So what will happen if they where a F2P MxO? The following, i call it the domino effect:
First of all the oldskool players will jack in a instand. That will bring it minimum 1000+ members back.. i mean look at us, we walk around in a empty megacity just to wonder around and chat to get the feeling back ( Even me with my crap pc). But if we do that allready....You really think oldskool mxo people with a full Working MxO... What is now Free to Play... Wont go back Just for fun? Exactly my point:
They will run riots... Cause a nr1 google seach service shutdown of JOY and WILL... Come Back FULL FORCE!
Second thing what would happen: The oldskool players will bring there friends to play this game just for fun ( and yes there friends to will discover that mxo is a awsom game just like you did and just like i did and they will be hooked, lol like we all did and still are doing *ahum*) But here is when the domino effect really will come into play....
As soon that the word is out that MxO is F2P and playable again:
All these new kids screaming on youtube that they want to play mxo will come to! And not even to play the game... lol Just to check it out.
But then they start playing the game...Discover the combat system, HJ, crazy parties and loonies that do the whoolawoop nekkid around someone that is afk... Hooked Get the point?
That will bring F2P alone to a 4000/5000+ subscription alone for the first few months... And climbing!
Because hey men... I dont know about you but i and many others have enough bills to pay so when we hear the word FREE and it is as AWSOM like MxO and we can play it whenever because it is a MMO, dude..give me 2 sec.
That will increase the traffic towards MxO, plus the money for SOE. BIG TIME! Because the only thing now what you have to do is place a cashshop in MxO ( plenty of idea's regarding cashshops there. Cool Clothes, Weapons, Items, Furniture for your own private room in mxo, etc etc etc. Comon guys we all know how big you can go with MxO!)
But...
SOE just trown that ALL away because they LACK in strategic thinking and/or they allready got out what they wanted to get as we all known and thats why they have so many haters, even in the games people play now from SOE, because in the end it is all the same, SOE is a corporation that will only think about what is best for them in the end.
And did i mansioned by the way that F2P would even FIT IN the Story line from MxO? Because technically everyone was part from the matrix as a blue pill, so now that they are freed everyone can acces it as a redpill? <--Now How Can You Go Wrong With Such A Great Idea to Make MxO F2P and FAIL? You Cant. Its A Total WInner, and If I Can See It. SOE Sure Can To.
But they wont do it. Because rens repeat:
SOE is a corporation that will only think about what is best for them in the end instead of for the people there own costumers! Thats why i do believe MxO engine itself is probably destroyed or some weird shit happend to it thats why it became a 'bad code' and i dont mean bad code as in its hard to code with..No No No, it REALLY became BAD CODE: So yes i got that bad code for ya SOE, Its called DC online fuckhole, And i will turn it Side Ways, Make it alllllll Nice and Shiny and i will stick it STRAIGHT UP into your MxO to DC Ripp Off CANDY ASS!Mo'Fo!
