Over on the
official site for the MMORPG, Matrix Online, it was announced that the
game will be merged from the current nine servers now running, down to
only three servers. This is happening due to dwindling server
populations, thus making it difficult for players to find others to
adventure with. Sony Online Entertainment hopes that by merging
servers, players will be able to form groups more easily. The
merge is currently planned for August 2, 2005. Of the three
planned servers for the game, one is planned to be hostile, while the
other two will run under standard PvP rules.
