The Matrix Online Sneak Preview is the final phase of our rigorous beta testing
schedule before officially launching the game on March 22.
What is The Matrix Online Sneak Preview? |
The Matrix Online Sneak Preview is the final phase of our
rigorous beta testing schedule before officially launching the game on March
22. The Sneak Preview will begin on Saturday, March 12th at 12:00PM PST. It
will end at 9PM PST on Tuesday, March 15th. In this final phase of testing,
players will get a chance to see the most current version of the game, including
many storyline elements from the continuation of The Matrix saga. The development
team of The Matrix Online will also use the sneak preview to correct any last
minute bugs, game issues, or server tweaks that we will need to launch the
final product with.
Will you charge people to play during the Sneak Preview? |
Absolutely not, The Matrix Online preview is free.
If the Sneak Preview is free, why do I need a credit card to
participate? |
Using a credit card allows us to completely test our billing
and authentication systems which are essential to a successful launch of
the game. Although, your credit card will not be charged, we do place a small
temporary hold on the account of about $1.00 dollar.
Will I need a credit card to play the game once its released? |
Actually, no. If you do not have a credit card, or prefer
a different payment method, you can purchase a pre-paid game card at most software
retailers. This game card will allow you to credit your game account with two
months of gameplay time.
For more information on the pre-paid game cards, you
can check out our official program announcement here:

Is the Sneak Preview any different than the final stress test?
|
The Sneak Preview will offer players a chance to experience
the latest version of the game which includes most of the features available
in the final version of the game on March 22. You will also have the opportunity
to get a glimpse of some of the storyline content that will be revealed in
the live game.
