Q: What, exactly, happened to Morpheus? What are the long-term consequences for the players of The Matrix Online?
A: Come on. This is The Matrix. You don't get explanations. All I'll say is that those bullets hurt as much as bullets would in the real world. This event reverberates in coming months, generating the "cold war" tension the Wachowski Brothers felt should be the tone of the first year. Niobe feels honor-bound to avenge Morpheus; plenty of parties want to punish the killer; some wish to misassign blame. And one party sees Morpheus was on to something: straining the Matrix's believability is a way to blackmail the Machines or Zion, or perhaps bring the system down completely. Now, who would want that?
