AOL-iChat integration added to Matrix Online game

America Online and Warner Bros. have announced that the AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) service will be integrated into The Matrix Online. The companies say that this marks the first time that players in a massively multi-player online game can link an existing AIM identity to a new in-game character, creating real-time communication with other Matrix players as well as other AIM buddies–whether inside or outside of The Matrix Online. As long as you have an AOL, AIM, ICQ or Apple iChat account, he or she can receive a message from The Matrix Online players in real time from any location. Whether receiving a message via the Internet or their PDA or cell phones, players will be able to remain “in character” without revealing their AOL or AIM screen name.
