Worst/Best time in MxO

[The Mainframe]

Best Moments: Sitting on MSN after taking a hiatus from Mx0 to work on a City of Heroes story arc for one of the many Virtue Super Groups. I got a buzz from someone on MSN, and I still to this day have no idea who they are. They tossed me into this little chat with about six people, and ask where I had trotted off to. They said that they needed the "villain of Syntax" to return, as no one was really pulling off an evil character archetype. It made my day, and I think I jacked in within the hour of the closing conversation.

Worst Moments: The landslide of poor choices that either came from Rarebit or SOE. Either way, the story was butchered. Instead of running with characters that people were familiar with from the films, they almost all got killed off, or side-lined and did nothing important/disappeared. Morpheus, the most prominent character of the films that is alive gets killed by a "Fly Assassin". The Oracle gets kill-coded, again. Seraph falls into the canals, wakes up all stupid and golden eyed, gets fixed and disappears. The Merovingian did piss all, despite how powerful he's supposed to be. Then we got introduced to new characters no one gave more than two glances; no one cared about them and they had no flavor. It didn't feel as if players were fighting for a faction, or purpose. They just ran off of movie knowledge, and pissed about in the world in terms of immersion. Makes me want to bust open my archive of saved logs and technical lore I procured from role players that took place over four years and begin intertwining it with the main story since I knew most of the decisions before they were publicly done.

TL;DR? The storyline failed.
