Me too. Except for the System Requirements unfortunately

Abundance of clothing you say....

Maybe I ought to get my fashion whore on.

Of couse i shouldnt be thinking like this but..... I heard when it was released that it was in a very poor condition... i guess that is not the case anymore?

I will check it out if there is a free trial i think! Its an interresting setting

Once I join an RP faction, I'll ask if they can give me some buddy keys (for the 10-day trial). That might be a while off yet though, as there are lots of RP factions of varying hardcore levels to choose from. If you're in a hurry, the box version is $10 on amazon and download version $20 on Direct2Drive. Box version should give you 1-3 buddy keys so it would definetly help in giving people the chance to try the game out for free.

I have to hype some other features yet:
-community on the Syntax server is excellent, you get advice and free stuff all the time
-you can explore every building and every room in the city (excluding mission areas)
-the combat interlock system makes for some stunning wire-fu animations
-crafting is simple and everyone can do it without a separate grind (good thing in my opinion but our crafter peoples might disagree)

Some bad things:
-many of the roleplayers are new and don't stay in character consistently, or talk about game mechanics in-character
-there are OOCers at major gathering points
-some things that render a window into the game, such as reading in-world newspapers take a long time to load
-lots of shameless recruiters for factions
-not a lot of special moves for low-level combat (though the hotbars fill up quickly with other kinds of abilities)

I'm Thuong on the Syntax server if you want to talk to me ingame.

No, if you have a buddy key you can download the client for free and play for 10 days.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but in my perception the list of people who have asked for buddy keys so far in chronological order is:
1. Skanx
2. Sandling
3. Wheri
4. Oluf

That's enough for a Hovercraft crew! I'll start asking about getting our craft and your red pills....I'll report back once I get a viable offer from a good faction.

5. Darkles

This quest for red pills will be awesome. Does anyone mind working for Zion? We should all probably work for the same organization so we can be in the same crew and RP through the rep-altering missions....though RPing with people from other organizations could be could be fun too. And I'll need to start working on Zion faction if I'm going to form a crew for us. Zion would be my choice because it's the most obvious faction to play for most characters, and probably the most lore-centric of them all.

Im up for giving it a complete try if someone gets me a buddy key. Not going to have a lot of time in a few months, but it's worth looking at.

Frenchman? I think I have to go to the nearest rental <_<

I think you mean the Merovingian, the dude from the two sequels. He does have a French accent though, even though he usually only swears in French.

Yes, they mean the Merovingian, who appears in the second and third films and generally just gets called the Frenchman by everyone.

I don't think I'll be trying the Matrix online- I'm already getting into City of Villains, and will be giving URU a try soon, so my MMORPG time is already full. The idea of us forming a Hovership crew and having free trial keys (I instinctively dislike the idea of a game that doesn't just give free trials to anyone who wants them) is getting me wondering whether I can cram another one in, though...
