Third birthday celebrations to get under way in April.

WHAT:

The Matrix Online (MxO) celebrates its third anniversary with in-game events and parties, along with Game Update 59 set to debut in April.

Some in game features include:

The Return of the Smith Virus

- The ever-popular Smith Virus returns in this year’s anniversary as it seeks to infect all those in the Matrix.

- Players can approach a virologist near various city monuments who will present them with a ticket to begin a mission leading to the Oracle.

- Complete the mission from the Oracle and get “Smith’s End Brownie” which cures players of the Smith Virus infection. Players can even throw the brownie at infected people to cure them of the virus.

- Watch out for “Smithlings” but if one is encountered one, he might drop a “Smith Frag” for usage.

Don’t Forget About the Goodies

- Have an extra Smith Frag or Smith’s End Brownie? Take them to a virologist to get items available only during the anniversary! Don’t worry, once these special items are acquired they are then accessible year-round.
