The Matrix Online gets unplugged today

July 31st, 2009
All players of The Matrix Online today will be taking the blue pill, as today marks the end of the online service of the game. Sony Online Entertainment will be terminating the service after four years of delays, ad controversy, and other drama. But, we will always remember the game for what it is; a fun way to relive the movie.

Subscribers the game were raised to the highest level, and given access to all of the stuff that they might not have been able to try before the game was ended. Additionally, the game was made available free of charge for anyone to try in its last days.

This isn’t the first time an MMO has died, just look at Hellgate: London, which only survived around two years of online service.

Rest in peace, The Matrix Online.
