    Default Neocron 2.2 Opens new server with fresh start.

    Hi Onrpg,

    Allow me to introduce myself first as a lurker for over 5 years now, i check onrpg quite often


    Today we received great news from the admin of Neocron 2.

    He has ordered a new server with new hardware and its going to open very soon, possibly today.


    Some days ago the admin banned 60+ accounts on the oldskool server Terra for duping and hacking. The kids that got banned were raging and DDoS'ing the server constantly.. therefore it was down for a few days. Actions had to be taken to keep the game up and this is what we get! A new server with the two oldskool servers remaining open.


    If you never had the chance to play Neocron back in the days like me, its time to experience an Apocalyptic 3D (true) MMOFPS! But offcourse very oldskool but fun and addicting a.k.a Neocrack ^^


    Expect the server to be up soon!

    Neocron site: http://ng.neocron.com/ (account reg is down for the moment)
    Neocron IRC: http://irc.neocron.info/
    Neocron gm twitter: https://twitter.com/GM_Zoltan ----> GM makes tweets about the server.


    Hope to see you guys in-game!

    As we value the importance of giving you the most accurate and up-to-date information, we have decided to hold off on making an announcement outlining the changes to our systems, until the processes invovled with getting things back online are accomplished.

    As soon as the announcement is made, it will be linked on all available communication outlets so you won't miss it.

    Looks like we may have to wait a little longer before the new server is up.

    Neocron 2 will most likely stay free to play until the upcoming F2P neocron reloaded is released, at this point I can't say what will happen.

    Well done, dismissing an entire game because of one line of dialogue. Btw that " where your wet dreams come true" line is said in the game by some advertisement when you enter part of neocron city called "pepper park", the red light district of the game, strip clubs, ******s, ya know naked polygon models.

    I didn't want to bump up the last thread about Neocron but since there's a new thread I will say my piece.

    I am not impressed in how the game went since I last saw it in beta many years ago. This game is f2p largely because its a buggy mess, even the creator said so who is funding this game currently. It almost feels like you're playing an alpha version of the game with so many bugs in the game. I hear the servers are hosted by a sub optimal provider, but its either this or no game at all. Not very good ping and lots of lag spikes for me. It's a nice game idea but in order it to be popular again, it needs a huge revamp and it can't be a sub game. Neocron might be successful going back to p2p if they start the game from scratch but that is not feasible (too much money involved). This game could have been great but it was poorly managed or maintained. I uninstalled the game after getting running along and then getting stuck in a wall, that is so unacceptable in a game that is released! ... and I missed it being uncensored . I wish there's still a patch available that removes the censoring. Its the concept of having it have it being censored that irks me.

    You're right about the bugs and the server lag problems, however a patch is being worked on that fixes many of these, this is the first work thats been done on Neocron in years, as for the lagspikes, the new server is much more powerful and in a better environment, there should be no lagspikes on this one.

    How is the game censored for you? I haven't noticed anything like that when I played it.

    The new server is called Titan, follow progress and find out as soon as its open on Zoltan's twitter: https://twitter.com/gm_zoltan

    When I last played it in beta many years ago, I remember the strippers in Pepper Park weren't censored. The U.S. version got censored at release and the European did not. I don't know the timeline of the game and any changes since then.

    There's only one version of the game now, and its not censored, so take a seat and watch some polygon 2004 graphics topless women dance for you

    Account creation was up before the DDoS hit, as soon as the servers are back online, account creation will be too.

    It looks like it's trying to be a mix of Face of Mankind and Anarchy Online

    Did my comment sound like I was saying it was a bad thing? I was simply commenting on it.

    I am interested in playing it, not actively or anything, just to try it. Is that new server up and running yet?

    How long does it take to max a character?

    I wasn't ment for you to take it like that BUT this is Onrpg after all lol. Usually people who post something like that are talking negative about the game. Nothing personal against you.

    I'm not sure about the server and such since I haven't looked at it yet and I have honestly never played it but I might be interested in trying it.

    The old servers are back online, account creation still won't be available though, read the bottom quote for info on that. The new server is still being tweaked, another announcement will be made when its launched. I've had a chance to test this new server myself, I'm getting very good ping from where I live (England, ping of 50-70) and more importantly there are no lagspikes, regardless of your location, you should be getting a constant steady ping on the new server 'Titan'.

    Announcement: http://forum.neocron.com/showthread....17th-Sept-2012

    You should visit http://www.techhaven.org/ its a very useful site, it has quest guides, an item database that lets you see the requirements of almost every item, if not every item and the ways to obtain them, and much more.

    I'd suggest Gentank Soldier or Spy Assassin for your first character, these classes are both fun to play but the gentank is easier to level since it gets AoE weapons.

    You'll want to level weaponlore for every class that uses guns, it effects your aim, damage, fire rate, every gun stat really. Hightech combat has a similiar effect but only on hightech weapons, its up to you if you want to spend points on this and use the laser, plasma and other hightech weapons or you could neglect this skill entirely, focusing on one weapon skill and agility (effects run speed).

    As an assassin you'd want to level rifles and weaponlore, hightech combat is optional and only if you're gonna use the hightech weapons. Same thing for soldier but replace rifle with heavy weapons. Apart from that its up to you how you spend your points, there are so many different ways to build your character, between skill points, implants, armours and drugs.
