Some info

Just to remind you: Players of The Matrix Online will inhabit an enormous urban sprawl, which spreads for miles in all directions. There are subways, nightclubs, skyscrapers, and dark alleys that all seem normal on the surface, but beneath this urban exterior, a secret war is being waged for the survival of humanity and machine alike. Here, you and many operatives like yourself, will determine who shall inherit the earth.

I think they don't know a price yet, but it's apparently standard...I'm not into online games, so I can't tell you how much you usually have to pay for playing. I'll see if I can find some more info somewhere.
