A lot of people have problems with big companies, many hate Microsoft and everyone seems to hate EA. The target of this hatred in the MMORPG scene is Sony Online Entertainment. Brought into power by theJuggernaut that is EverQuest, and maintained by the likes of Star Wars Galaxies, it seems to have no end to its expansion. And now with the acquisition of The Matrix Online, it has the power to controll the MMORPG's for the top 2 Sci-Fi trilogies of all time.

When World of Warcraft came out, there must have been a few sweaty execs over at SoE HQ, after all, the seemingly neverending amount of WoW Servers and an outstanding influx of players was quite incredible. Then with the European launch, it got even better, another huge load of servers and a record breaking amount of new accounts. Now as everybody knows, there have been problems with overpopulated WoW servers, but all in all the service has been pretty good. Then you look at The Matrix Online. A game, thats name alone should sell it a million. But alas, its just not very good, visually, sure, very impressive. But its just not very fun. There is not much going on, with the excuse that there are the live events, which are thin at best. I hope that SoE can do some good to this struggling MMORPG, as I am a huge fan of everything Matrix. But even that will not keep me playing unless there are some major changes...
