<div align="left">Like we said in our article before, "<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/07/27/reminder-check-out-the-matrix-online-before-it-decompiles/">...until everyone's RSI is smashed into a tiny, tiny ball</a>." Now you see that we really weren't joking about that.<br /><br />But we were in <a href="http://www.thematrixonline.com"><em>The Matrix Online</em></a> for the final hours as well, and we managed to get some great screenshots from the end of the game. There were explosions, lightning bolts, oddly colored skies until finally.... in the last few hours... it became beautiful again. The green skies were rolled back in favor of a blue sky tinged with hints of red. Then, of course, we all got our plugs pulled and ended up smashed into... well... you know.<br /><br />If you're interested in how it all looked before everything crashed, check out what we got to see during our final moments!<br /><br />

Nobody likes server crashes.  They always seem to come at the most inopportune times.  However, there is no greater inopportune time than during a city siege in <a href="http://www.darkfallonline.com"><em>Darkfall</em></a>.<br /><br />Sadly, an ill-timed server crash right after a city siege finalized in <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/darkfall"><em>Darkfall</em></a>.  This lead to data not being properly saved inside all of the systems, putting the siege result into jeopardy.<br /><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/tasos-flambouras"><br />Tasos Flambouras</a>, <em>Darkfall</em>'s producer, <a href="http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php?t=192443">took a moment</a> to relate the announcement to the community, and outline that the siege results will be corrected during the server maintenance.  As a result, the city ownership will be finalized during the maintenance, and the game will move forward from that point.<br /><br />For Tasos's full remarks, check out his post on the <a href="http://forums.darkfallonline.com/showthread.php?t=192443">official <em>Darkfall</em> forums</a>.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm?loadnews=13987&amp;bhcp=1">MMORPG.com</a>]<br /><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/06/01/siege-jeopardy-in-darkfall/">Siege jeopardy in Darkfall</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Mon, 01 Jun 2009 17:00:00 EST.
