The Matrix Online

Origin and Concept

In the first quarter of 2005, The Matrix Online was released. Even during the beta testing there was an extreme rush to the game, which was after the film trilogy as the last contribution to the large matrix universe. Within the game, as with all MMORPGs, the player was able to create its own individual character and to intervene with him into the world of Mega City, the world of MxO. So the player led together with thousands of other online players the history of the matrix (the action begins where The Matrix Revolutions ends ) on.

It was possible to make within the game characters from the films, such as Morpheus or the oracle, and his own character by perfecting his skills play a key role in the war for control of the matrix ( between the people, the machines and programs ) to fight.

There were also large events within the matrix. She gave it in the form of extra-historical events such as parties (also dancing is possible ... ), fight club, racing or other competitive as well as meetings and within history major events that took place regularly.

Maximum level was level 50 in the game, there was no defined classes, but a skill tree that was filled with learning points. It could be combined from all archetypes. The skills could be changed in the game continuously.

Due to low sales and subscriber numbers, the operation of the game was set in August 2009.
