Where in the real life world do you live?

How long have you played The Matrix Online?

I've played since pre-order beta.

What other MMOs have you played?

I've played Final Fantasy XI, tried some trials for WOW and SWG, but MxO is still the game I come back to.

What type of work do you do?

I'm currently a cashier at Publix.

What got you into gaming and what sort of games do you like the most?

Well I got my first game system when I was 6-7, I got a Nintendo from my relatives for Christmas and I have been hooked ever since. Besides playing MxO on my computer, I currently have a PlayStation 3. I'm usually into action games, first person shooters, and sports. If you have a PS3, my PSN Tag is Neo881 and the games I currently play is MGS4, Little Big Planet, and Madden 09.

What other hobbies or activities do you take part in, other then playing The Matrix Online?

I like to listen to music, watch movies, and TV. My favorite TV shows are Heroes, South Park, The Daily Show, Colbert Report, The Office, and 24.

What is your highest character level in The Matrix Online?

My main character is on Vector and is a level 50.

How or why did you choose your main character's name?

I don't really remember how I choose my name. I think I got my name from one of those random Matrix name generators they have around the web.

What Branch (Coder, Hacker, Operative) and ability tree is your main character?

I have all the major Trees but mainly I switch back and forth between Gunman and Hacker.

Why did you choose the Branch and ability tree that you did?

I always like the style of animations they use for Gunman's full auto and Redux has got to be one of my favorite move animations. Area hacks are great, especially when you got a big PvP session at Mara C on Vector.

Is your main character in a crew, if so, what rank is the character?

Yes I'm currently Captain of the Awakening.

Is your main character in a faction, if so, which one and what is their faction rank?

My craft is part of Morpheus' Legacy.

What was your favorite chapter?

That's a hard choice; I'd have to choose between "the path of the one" being the first live event of the game and Chapter 8, with the ending of the truce, which is something I really never expected to see happen in the game.

What is your favorite neighborhood?

Hampton Green is my favorite neighborhood. Mainly due to the fact that I go to New York City a lot and I think it resembles is with all the bright towers and signs.

Who is your favorite NPC?

Well since I'm around their area all the time I'd say the Blackwood gang in Mara.

What is the most $info you have ever spent at one time and what did you purchase?

The most $info I have ever spent at one time was around 500 million for a Patcher's Headgear.

Do you have an item you no longer use but keep around for nostalgic reasons? If so, what is it and why do you keep it?

I still have Neo's Insight. It was one of the first reward items I ever got and I still keep it around. Hopefully some day it may work again. I still have my beta gear too.

What do you like best about The Matrix Online?

I like the city environment around MxO and the style of fighting. It's something you don't see in other MMOs, especially the Martial Arts. Of course the community has been great. It's nice to have a great community of players to get along with.

How would you describe your best experience playing The Matrix Online?

My best experience happened after trying a lot of different factions on vector for my first year and a half, I finally found a great faction to be a part of. They helped me enjoy my stay in this game, and that that faction is Morpheus' legacy. Also, another good experience was when I was in one of my earlier factions that were one of the first few EPN factions when they started handing out the tags was pretty fun as well.

Do you run or work for an MxO Fan Site or Radio Station?

I worked for RMC:Terminal but they are currently rebuilding it and hopefully we will be broadcasting soon.
