You Know Youre a True Fan When...

[Raiderofnight]

you know you're a true fan when...

...you have spent many hours in vein writing emails to SOE in a failed attempt to convince them to bring back mxo.

...you have created a petition to bring back mxo http://www.PetitionOnline.com/savemxo/petition.html
even when you know that probably won't work either. Its still there, you're welcome to sign even if it is more of a symbolic gesture at this point.

...you try different mmos only to be quickly diapointed and quit them because they are nothing like mxo. You have that nagging "It just aint the same" thought in the back of your mind when you play anything else now. MXO is the mmo that you judge all other mmos by.

...you've been kicked out of a World of Borecraft guild for talking about MXO too much. Yes, I played WoW. I only did it because RL friends talked me into it after MXO went offline. I still don't see what is so great about that game... nevermind. getting off-topic with that train of thought.

...you have had daydreams where you have envisioned yourself shooting your way through sony coorprate security in the soe hq lobby to "rescue" the MXO server files and dev tools from soe like Neo and Trinity did to save Morpheus from the agents. "I need guns... lots of guns!" . C'mon, I cant be alone with this one... I KNOW you've had similar thoughts... admit it!

However, in all seriousness, I know I'm not as much of a fan as all of you who have played the game for years and/or have dedicated their time and effort to trying to emulate MXO with only what little there is that remains of it. In my short time in MXO my entire view of how a mmo should be was changed forever. It amazed me to see the same people who were slaughtering one another in a brutal pvp hanging out at a club with each other an hour later having fun like nothing ever happened... You don't see that in other mmos. I never made it to level 50 but with the help of some 50's I was well on my way before the world ended. My biggest regret is not trying MXO sooner than I did. I should have trusted my own feeling on it instead of listening to my friends who said MXO isnt that good worth my time and money. Even when I first jacked in while MXO was already dying by soe's hand, it was still worth my money and time. If I had it to do over I'd still take the red pill.

Being I'm not a programmer or some uber hacker, there isn't alot I can do to help with this project. If I do ever come up with anything useful, though highly doubtful that I will, I'll be sure to let you know. Until your server is up and running, I'll sit back, wait patiently and check in from time to time to see what progress is being made. Eventually I'll see you all in game.
