SOE to Close The Matrix Online on July 31st
By Bryn Williams | May 29, 2009
Sony Online Entertainment will shut down its Matrix MMORPG at the end of next month.
A community post by SOE's Daniel "Walrus" Myers today states how the company's four-year-old MMORPG based on The Matrix Online will officially close down on July 31st. Beta testing began back in May 2004 and saw the game go live in April of 2005. Since then followers of the MMORPG have been jacking into servers, but that's all about to end. In May 2004, I embarked upon a journey. I decided to take the red pill in a big way—I became the online community lead for The Matrix Online. Later that year, many of you joined me as you jacked in for the first time. It was a brand new world—a vision of online games that didn't involve elves, spaceships, or dragons. We became part of the Matrix storyline; living our own adventures in the world painted by the movies.

It seems not so long ago I was jumping into Mara Central and going toe-to-toe with other devs at E3 2004. I had no idea this journey would take me to a whole different company, managing a major revision of the game, and my first producing gig. "Long, strange trip" doesn't describe the half of it. Myers notes that the support team will be crafting an end-of-the-world event which will see the game off in style.

Blue pills, red pills... see what happens when you do drugs?
