The Matrix Online Community Website Launch

Warner Brothers has launched an official community website for The Matrix Online, which they’ve given the title of “Data Node One”. We reported about this site a few days ago, but now it’s official. Here’s the full announcement, straight from my inbox:

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is pleased to announce the launch of Data Node One, the official The Matrix Online Community website. Data Node One will provide the very latest in news, features, and game information for The Matrix Online, the Massively Multiplayer Online Game launching this spring.

Before the launch of The Matrix Online, Data Node One will focus primarily on the internal and beta testing communities by providing extensive coverage of player – organized events, player organizations, and exclusive interviews with the development team.

“The Matrix Online community has really taken on a life of its own that is quite different from any other MMO out there. As covered in The Official Magazine of The Matrix Online (launched this month by DC Comics), the community has been distinguishing itself by putting on Duel Tournaments, Fashion Shows, and even player DJ’d after hours parties at nightclubs in the game.,”
said William Westwater, Director of Online Development, Monolith Productions.

“Data Node One will add a great deal of value and enjoyment to the in-game experiences our fans are already participating in. This web destination will be expanding and diversifying a great deal in the weeks and months to come.”
