So Whats up?

[chec13]

Their are a few things I would like to ask in this topic. But first I will say a little about myself. I am chec13 as you can see, I never had the chance to play the original matrix online. I had always followed it off an on, but got interested in another mmo. I remember the sad day that The Matrix Online shut down, and regretted that I never played it.

I would like to help anyway I can to get this game up again, I've been playing (or rather running) on the test server for a few days. I am not sure what I can do, I just started college and am going for a technology degree specializing in programming, server management, and computer maintenance. But like I said, I just started. I should be getting into programming next semester however.

Now I have a few questions and the first one is very important.
Is this project still being worked on? I understand that these things probably take a lot of time and give a lot of stress, and the only reason I ask is because Its been nearly 9 months with no update.
How many people are currently working on this project? Just curious.
Then finally, the last question. If you guys needed any help with decryption, what field of expertise would most likely give me the knowledge? Even though I know it may not be a strong possibility of me helping for reasons such as distance, I would still like to know the answer if it is no problem for you to answer.

This message is more for introducing myself to this community, and trying to get this great game back up anyway I can. If anyone wants to hang out on the server, just message me with a time.

I would also like to say that I am sorry if I offended anyone. I do not know much that goes into decrypting a game that is already made, and so my ignorance may have gotten the best of me. I look forward to seeing more people in game.
