The Matrix consolidates its worlds

Apparently Neo has succeeded a little too well.  Horrible jokes aside, Sony Online has decided to get rid of its nine servers and lessen the world of the Matrix to just three – two normal PvP servers, and one "hostile"
world.  Staffers are promising a seemless transition and transfer of character data into these servers, and is even giving players a chance to name these new worlds – unless, of course, they receive 100 submissions for "Neo World;" somehow, I think they would nix that idea.

The move is due to the waning success of this movie-to-MMORPG franchise : apparently, too few people were occupying the servers that it was hard to find someone with which to play.  At least Sony Online is doing their best to salvage the game and still let the fanbase enjoy the game.  From what I've read (I never played the game myself),
it isn't all that bad.
