Highlights
Given that and some other technical issues we’ve been battling with, we’re going to push the in-game concerts back by one week. The new dates for the Battle of the Bands/Piece of Blue Sky: Reloaded concerts will be Tuesday, May 9 through Monday, May 15, 2006.
The FilePlanet free trial is scheduled to begin the afternoon of Tuesday, May 2, 2006. As announced, free trial players will get a copy of Hyper-Jump Beta when they activate and a copy of Mobius Code when they convert to a paying account.
I’ve seen some comments from veteran players about how we’re making these Abilities less special by adding them to a free trial. Why would we choose to use those Abilities instead of new ones?
The answer is simple: Both Abilities are highly useful at early levels. It’s a great incentive for new players to stick around and really get to know The Matrix Online. However, free trial players will only get one copy of each Ability—not one on each character. We want them to get in and enjoy the game, but we also don’t want to make the vets feel their earned rewards aren’t valuable.
As a new feature tied in to the free trial, we will be implementing a new reward system in The Matrix Online. If you play other SOE games, then likely you’ve encountered a message at some time telling you that you’ve earned a reward and can use /claim to acquire the item. We thought that was a spiffy idea, so we stole, er…added it to the game.
Well, it’s only been three years, but I’m finally going to E3 with The Matrix Online. Better late than never, I guess. We’ll be demoing the game outside the SOE booth in the South Hall. If you happen to be going this year, make sure to stop by and say hi. I’ll say hi back if my voice hasn’t already deteriorated too far to talk. ;)

Underarmor clothing - Sweet, Vet rewards - Its about time since every other SOE game has them. All in all I can wait another week for the Blue Sky concert.

this sucks....when they pushed back the last live event I missed most of it because of family commitment...and now that they've pushed this event back to next week I'll miss it all over again cause of the same damn commitment....Why can't these guys just do their fucking job and get shit done on time...ugh.

Well, that should clear up any "Oh, crap, I forgot to clear an inventory space" prolems, and good thing this game is going to E3. About time they got some kind of press...
