I think it will be virtually impossible to do this the way it's supposed to be done. The Matrix is all about style and cool combat, whereas MMOGs are about killing endless streams of giant rats so you can make it to the next level. It's possible, but it would need a significant combat upgrade over the genre standard.

I repeat my request fellfrosch....

c'mon...
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

It seems like it would take an insane amount of programming, genius epiphanies, and an exceptional graphics card to do online multiplayer focus.  I mean, if everyone is doing focus at different times, how does that work.  Although, I once figured it out with my friend Zack, but I forget our solution.  It does look fun, though.
