The Matrix Online : Big Fish Games Snags Over $80 Million in Financing

By: Morvelaira   Sep 13, 2008 01:21:11 PM     News Item: 5186

Sounds like a well staffed and well funded MMO is on it's way

Big Fish Games, known for their simple online games such as the Mystery Case Files and Tradewinds, have secured a large amount of capital. $83.3 million, to be exact. This not only makes them one of the most heavily funded developers out there in online games, but it also gives confidence that their upcoming MMO won't be rushed at all. While we still only know that the game is in development, I think we can expect good things from it.

You may remember in November of last year when Big Fish acquired MMO developer Thinglefin which was founded by Jeremy Friesen and Ryan O'Rourke, formerly of Monolith and Sony Online Entertainment. These industry vets have previously worked on The Matrix Online and Asheron's Call. This new MMO from Thinglefin is described as a free-to-play, browser-based MMO, and is currently still in development.

In what is touted as the the largest investment of venture capital for a U.S. online gaming company, Big Fish Games has recently secured $83.3 million in funding from VC firms Balderton Capital, General Catalyst Partners and Salmon River Capital. This is all in addition to the $8.7 million they received in 2005, making this developer one of the most heavily-funded out there.

The Matrix Online : One Shots: Halcyon and on and on

By: Krystalle Voecks   Aug 05, 2008 02:05:00 PM     News Item: 4691

Filed under: Sci-fi, Screenshots, The Matrix Online, One Shots

The pounding music, the dancing bodies - nightlife in The Matrix Online is a whole other world. Today's One Shots comes to us from Michael V, who recently attended a server-wide dev party in MxO; a gorgeous, sleek game we don't get to see nearly enough of. Michael writes in:

This screenshot is from Microgigs of the Syntax server from The Matrix Online. This was a dev-sponsored party in the club the Sanguine Room in the Moriah Projects district. Treats were handed out, a costume contest was held, and the Live Event character the Effectuator showed up and turned people into ninjas.

Do you have any screenshots from a GM or Dev event in your favorite game that you'd like to share with us? Perhaps you play a game we don't spotlight very often and you'd like to show off some of the cool things you've experienced. Whatever your reason, we'd love to see your screenshots! Just send them to use here at oneshots AT massively.com along with a brief description of what we're seeing in the image. We'll take care of the rest.

The Matrix Online : Matrix Online update 61 brings new storyline missions

By: William Dobson   Jun 29, 2008 04:00:00 PM     News Item: 4690

Filed under: Sci-fi, Events, in-game, Patches, The Matrix Online

A bit over a month since we saw Update 60, The Matrix Online has been patched with Update 61, and there are two main reasons for fans to be excited. The first is a continuation of TMO's storyline, with Chapter 10.3 and new critical missions, and the second is the opening of a new construct called Sati's Playground. At the playground, you will be able to spawn sequences of enemies by using special items, and some new vendors and collectors relating to this construct have also been added.

There has already been one critical mission during the week relating to Chapter 10.3, and there will be another one each Thursday for four more weeks. You can get the full patch notes at TMO's community site.

The Matrix Online : SOE provides handy guide to cross-game communication in EQ

By: William Dobson   Jun 08, 2008 01:00:00 PM     News Item: 4689

Filed under: Fantasy, Sci-fi, EverQuest, EverQuest II, PlanetSide, Game mechanics, Tips and tricks, The Matrix Online, Star Wars Galaxies, Vanguard


Sony Online Entertainment is responsible for quite a number of MMOs, and they've got a useful system in place to allow communication with people across their game worlds. However, many people either don't know about this system, or simply don't know how to wrangle it into doing what they want. To help with this, SOE has written a guide illustrating how EverQuest players can chat to their friends in other games.

The games that EQ players can send both private messages and in-game mail to are EverQuest II, Planetside, Vanguard, The Matrix Online, and Star Wars: Galaxies. It's also possible to communicate with players on different EQ servers, but many of the servers have abbreviations that must be used in the commands -- these can be found in the guide. Now don't go acting all surprised when you're hiding from a guild raid on another server and your guild master sends you a tell!

The Matrix Online : The Matrix gets new weapons, story missions, enemies

By: Samuel Axon   May 16, 2008 10:00:00 PM     News Item: 4688

Filed under: Sci-fi, Patches, The Matrix Online, News items

SOE deployed Update 60 on The Matrix Online's servers this week. The update doesn't just fix bugs. It also marks the beginning of Episode 10.2 of the story, introduces some new enemies in Datamine, and adds a reward for players who complete live critical missions.

If you're looking to earn the new reward items (a consumable of some sort), said missions are scheduled every Thursday up through the 12th of June; the first of those occurred yesterday, but a recap has been published. The update also introduces a whopping 342 new level 50 weapon variants, some of which will drop during the high level critical missions.

We're glad to see that MxO is still ticking despite the announced departure of Paul Chadwick, the esteemed comic book writer who had worked on the story until recently.

The Matrix Online : Agent Smith returns to the Matrix

By: Michael Zenke   Mar 19, 2008 11:00:00 AM     News Item: 4687

Filed under: Sci-fi, Events, real-world, Events, in-game, Quests, The Matrix Online

In honor of the Matrix Online's third anniversary, the development team has let a genie out of a bottle: the insidious Agent Smith virus. As foretold by the Oracle, he's returned more powerful than ever -- and operatives on both sides of the Machine war are needed to stop him. The old lady has put together a team of virologists all around the gameworld of MxO, all near key city monuments. Seek them out to get access to quests and information about stopping Smith (again).

For a real treat, log into the game on the exact anniversary: this Friday, March 21st. Between 3pm and 5pm PST (6pm and 8pm EST) the familiar faces of the MxO team will be online to chat and have some fun. Seek them out on Syntax server, in the Camon Heights Park area. Anniversary wishes, cookies, and cool in-game t-shirts are in the offing for both questers and party-goers alike. Just make sure to take the red pill in time.

The Matrix Online : Sony Online Entertainment is looking for interns

By: William Dobson   Feb 16, 2008 10:00:00 PM     News Item: 4686

Filed under: EverQuest, EverQuest II, Pirates of the Burning Sea, PlanetSide, MMO industry, The Agency, The Matrix Online, Star Wars Galaxies, Vanguard, Everquest Online Adventures

If you live and breathe gaming and are looking for some experience in the games industry, then you'll probably want to note that Sony Online Entertainment is currently looking to fill a number of intern positions. SOE is responsible for a whole swag of MMOs, including EverQuest, EverQuest II, Pirates of the Burning Sea, and Star Wars Galaxies, and some experience with them would likely be a valuable asset for further work in the industry, if not with SOE themselves.

They say that an internship with them would stretch 9 weeks, is a part time and paid position, and each intern will have a mentor to help them develop during the program. Taking a look at the drop-down menu on the SOE Career Opportunities page shows that quite a range of internships are available, from working with the community, to programming and developing, to art and even QA. Pretty much all of SOE's internships are based in San Diego, but it looks like there may be a couple for Seattle and Denver as well.
