The Matrix Online Interview

HomeLan Fed has conducted an interview with Monolith’s William Westwater, asking the director of online development several questions about their upcoming sci-fi MMORPG, The Matrix Online. Here’s a taste:

Q: What types of quests or missions will there be in The Matrix Online and how will they be organized?

A: The Matrix Online uses a powerful mission system that tracks your individual achievements and alliances. The system is designed for stealth game play as well as traditional slash and smash with a particular preference for double-cross and surprises. We’ve implemented a mission structure where player’s actions have definite repercussions in the game world. These missions allow us to focus the experience on your mission team so that griefers cannot interfere with you. In many cases, though, the aggregate behavior of many players performing many missions will move the story in a specific direction.
