[[The Matrix]] Online was a MMORPG that was made by Warner Bros. Entertainment and Monolith and was later bought out by SOE. It began beta testing in June 2004 and went live in March 2005 for North American users, and April 2005 for European users. It was eventually shut down in July of 2009, due to low sales.▼

The Matrix was unique in the MMO market for two major reasons: First, was the leveling and skill system. Unlike standard MMO's, where you pick a class and then delve into specializations within that class, The Matrix had a modular system that gave every player access to all of the skills, but only allowed them to pick a certain number of skills in a certain progression at a time. This allowed characters to make unique classes by mixing and matching abilities and weapons and was fairly intuitive despite sounding incredibly complex. ▼

Second, was the Live Events. Unlike other MMO events, this one had a specific team designed to act out the roles of the minor characters and contacts during a event.

* [[Aborted Arc]]: The story of Neurophyte, a Zion operative who inherited mysterious powers after a run-in with a "killcode." The arc took a few branching paths and set the stage for a new Neo-like character... until Sony took over, laid off the event team, merged servers, and never mentioned the story again.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: The General at one point employed an army of [[Black Helicopter]] pilots who resemble the Agents, but with glowing red eyes, probably so that everyone knew they were bad.
