The Matrix Online Guided Tour #1

GameSpy has begun a new series of editorials that offer a guided tour to the “City” in Monolith’s The Matrix Online. In the first installment, we are introduced to The Slums, The Mara Congregational Church, Ruth, and more. Check it out:

Though some may debate the value of faith in the Matrix, I believe it is a central tenant of the ability to awaken from the dread slumber that grips so many. Faith in a divine being, in the power of the human spirit, or in one’s ability to overcome any obstacle, can bring you closer to freedom. This church in Mara may seem like any other, but it is within the purview of an Exile — a woman who titles herself Sister Margaret. Little is known of this Exile, but perhaps you will be the one to uncover her secrets.

In a public plaza near the church is a large statue, carved of stone and shaped as an interlocking stack of squares. This statue is of some interest to the awakened, as it has on rare occasions manifested unusual properties. At some future time it may fall to you to decipher such mysteries, and I know you will be equal to the task.
