Wait, they released this?

Jeriko-1
And then everybody died screaming.
The End.

This is SecondLife with dildos and dicks replaced with hats and coats.

I always meant to try this out. Now I'll never get the chance. Oh well.

The podcast A Life Well Wasted had an interesting bit on the death of "virtual worlds" like this.

Fun fact: The vague-ass ending to the movie trilogy was done so the story could "continue" in this game.
WELL, HERE'S YOUR BIG FINALE, WACHKOSKI BROTHERS. WAS IT WORTH IT?
Remind me, which one of you is the one who wears dresses.

Uh. So... did they all disappear except for their clothes? Or did they turn into balls of pixels?

So did they just kill everyone? Because if so, that's awesome.
I understand that some other MMO that shut down had a similar ending, where it explicitly was "the big enemy we've been fighting since the game started made a final push. We tried to hold them back but we failed and everyone died. See you later!"

I beta tested this shit pile and gave it a go upon full release. What a waste, good riddance!

Seeing everyone dressed in the same big fancy coats has to get tedious after a while.

I can't remember a time when The Matrix wasn't a joke for me.

Riskbreaker The Wachowskis went to the George Lucas school for fucking up your own franchise.
|
Hooper_X The George Lucas School of Fucking Up Your Own Franchise was opened with a healthy underwriting grant from the Wachowskis.
As far as "awesome start to pathetic ending" goes, the Wachahjasnkskjis got there a lot quicker than Lucas.
|
Hooper_X Oh, and one of my favorite memories from college was my Intro to Philosophy instructor, a 600-year old hunched over little man, explaining Plato's Allegory of the Cave as "a bit like that Matrix movie, except without all the helicopters and explosions and the other crap they throw in to appeal to the lowest common denominator."

They wasted an amazing opportunity by not finding a reason to make this happen in one of the movies.

Big Beef Burritos Supreme Your reality is a sophisticated illusion, the world isn't real, and all your relationships and everything you identify with is within a sophisticated simulation.
But we have liberated you, you are now free to control your own destiny, atrophied and alone on a barren planet. As you fight for survival in the crude, disease ridden conditions under the reign of despotic madmen in the emerging feudalism I am sure you will thank us for showing you what the world is really like.

Did they come up with a story excuse for this? I ask because from what I understood Matrix Online was always big on coming up with weird story excuses for virtually everything that went on, intentionally or no.

DAmn you Hiro Protagonist!

I hope they did this without warning.

I like how they get sucked into their coats at the very end. As if their complete lack of style has developed consciousness, and wants to hide the evidence of such an existence so no culture can make the same fashion mistakes again.
