The game began closed beta testing in June 2004, and saw a special closed beta test for pre-orders beginning in November 2004. Warner Bros. and SEGA officially released MxO on March 22, 2005 in the United States. It was released in Europe on April 15, 2005.

Ubisoft originally planned to co-publish the game with Warner Bros., but backed out of the deal in February 2004 . Many gamers believe that this was done in response to the mixed audience reaction to The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, but it was also part of a wider trend for Ubisoft to drop its support of MMOGs. This opened the door for SEGA to become the new co-publisher

On June 17, 2005, Warner Bros. and Sony Online Entertainment, owners of several other online multiplayer game worlds, including EverQuest and Star Wars Galaxies, announced that SOE had picked up the rights from Monolith to operate The Matrix Online. The transition to SOE was completed on 15 August 2005

In this game you can join one of three organizations. They are Zion, Merovingian, and Machine. Zion refers to the people that are awakened from the dream world that is the Matrix. They live in a city called Zion that is the last remaining human city after the war with the machines. Merovingian refers to the awakened people that want to "side" with The Merovingian. Machine refers to the awakened people that want to "side" with the Machines.

When you begin the game, you are given the choice of taking a blue pill that will end the simulation (quit the game) and allow you to return to normal life, or a red pill. People that are unaware of the fact that they are in a simulation are often referred to as "bluepills" because they have either taken the blue pill or have not been given the choice. People that are aware of the simulation (players) are referred to as "redpills" because they have taken the red pill or have self-substantiated. You are then taken through a basic tutorial of the combat system. After the tutorial, you are then free to roam the Mega City (the city that the entire Matrix story is set in).

Storyline Summary

Race to find the One

The first major event to occur in The Matrix Online was a "race" between the three organizations to gather Neo's RSI (residual self-image) fragments. The organization that collected the most in a week received a defense bonus. Different organizations won on different servers.

Shapers were found that could maniputate the RSI fragments into the shape of Neo's mental projection. Unfortunately some shapers were captured by a fourth party. (believed to be the General) Those shapers were forced to create super-Agents which the organizations worked together to defeat. Morpheus has also complained that the physical remains of Neo were never returned to Zion from the Machine City (Zero One), yet cryptically, the Machines have said that they did not recycle Neo's remains either.
