The Matrix Online (MxO) celebrates its third anniversary with in-game events and parties, along with Game Update 59 set to debut in April. Some in game features include:

The Return of the Smith Virus

* The ever-popular Smith Virus returns in this year’s anniversary as it seeks to infect all those in the Matrix.
* Players can approach a virologist near various city monuments who will present them with a ticket to begin a mission leading to the Oracle.
* Complete the mission from the Oracle and get “Smith’s End Brownie” which cures players of the Smith Virus infection. Players can even throw the brownie at infected people to cure them of the virus.

    I really got into this game for about month, and had a lot of fun. The combat is good. I'm surprised its still going though; really surprised. Its getting fairly dated IMHO.

    ITANI-=> I believe they offer free trials now. For myself, I bought mine last year for like 9.99 in a store's bargin bin, and it had a free month in it.

    But after HARDCORE playing of a month I sort had my fill of it.

    The fact that I have never heard of this game or seen anything to do with it indicates to me that it cant be that great.

    This game was great and I played it for about 6 months, then I got into WOW, and this became a thing of the past.

    Every night I pray to the Great Game Maker that some company makes a new cyberpunk themed MMORPG already, but alas, my prayers go unanswered.
