Hey, I never said that there wouldn't be Matrix for five years! But we were talking (some posts back) of how to jump the space, and somebody threw the idea of getting the characters into jail in 2065 and having them free in 2070. That's where all the idea of a decker without contact with the Matrix came from. Sure deckers with normal contact with the Matrix will be able to update into becoming hackers!

This is a biggie.
I am personally hoping that all firearms and other assorted toys convertover sweetly as well. Because otherwise it makes an awful lot of things obso.
Characters would be fairly easy depending on your take on time as it were.
Either way its gonna be a while before I get used to a new system.
If chars aren't compatible what do you plan on doing?
I will just rebuild the ones I need and replace the ones I don't.
Either way I will make it work.
