The Matrix Online Preview

GameZone has put together a preview of The Matrix Online, based upon their time in the MMORPG’s beta test. Here’s a snip about crafting:

Crafting in MXO is done through a (coding) system. Players can take resources from the Matrix itself and fashion nearly anything you can need from the data. One of the skills involved is locating and accessing data nodes hidden in the Matrix. But be careful! The Matrix closes down compromised nodes quickly and can even send defense programs to (encourage) a player to stop hacking the system. With the right resources and skills, though, a player can craft anything they need for life inside the Matrix. As a link between the (fighter) types and the (crafter) types code skills include the ability to create new combat skills for trade.
