The last days of MxO

[matrixrefugee]

The news is in: The Matrix Online is being shuttered on July 31st.

I'm shell-shocked from the news, but I'm not letting it get to me. I'll be spending the last two months trying to finish up everything I haven't done (Neighborhood contact missions, archive missions, etc.). And the gang of folks I'm hanging with are planning on what game we're going to migrate to.

It's still sad to see something I've enjoyed for four years coming to an end.

Did... did they say why?

There hasn't been a clear-cut "this is why", but signs point it being budgeting reasons. I suspect the royalties being paid to Warner Brothers/the Wachowskis was getting to be more than the revenues the game was generating.

... damnit. MxO was probably one of the best urban fantasy games out there.
