This game could be great some day, but for now it needs a major rewrite and to go back to beta for about 3 months.
The chances of your char going into the null zone after 2 months is about even, and the chances of losing your account data after 5 months is almost 100 %.....
Save your money and buy something else....listen to the warnings of various older players and refuse to play this laggy, full of errors, POS..

AWESOME!

this is a great game! WARNING THIS GAME MAY BE COME ADDICTING!! should be a label on the box. i played beta4 and it was great. (problem was that once i got $1 million the beta ended, thats why im buying the registered version which is alot better with more servers and stuff) overall... a great game that you should play!!

I played EQ for two years. I played DAoC for about 2 months, I played AO for a month. I have played many MMO's and neocron takes the cake as far as shear fun gameplay.

Combat is not some boring Click and sit game like most MMO's there is no auto target, or autofollow. you actually must aim to attack.

It has a few bugs(crash to desktop, synch) but since it takes all of 25 seconds to get back in game(unlike most mmo's) crashes arent that big of a deal. I have been playing for well over a year without expieriencing any losses due to bugs(no lost stats or equiptment) no one i actually know in game has had any problems with losses from bugs either.

Its probably one of the cheapest MMO's out there too. which is a Very good thing.

you can try a free 10day trial.

They have game mechanisms to protect you from PvP and PK's if you do not wish to participate. most of the community is more than happy to help out new players with money and equiptment(even enemy new players)

the only downside is that in off peak times the server populations can be pretty low

oh yeah its also the only mmorpg that allows you to swear in game so it may not be appropriate for any little kids...and theres strippers...but thats another story

for 10.00 for the game and a free month you should definatly get this game

Played the demo, waiting for the mail

This game is great! I spent the better part of the night waiting for the download to start. Once I got the demo, I played it over and over. This is my kind of game! If you have ever played System Shock 2, you'll love this MMORPG! This game has serious potential!

DO THE TRIAL FIRST!!

Before you dump the money into this, PLAY THE TRIAL, you can get it from fileplanet.com. I played the trial through the full 10 days. For myself there wasn't anything there that really made me want to turn my account into a full fledged player account. The combat is ok, gfx are ok the general class balance really needs work, in all the game is just that. OK. I've played AO, and I would much rather play that then this game. The one thing I will say about this game is the music is VERY well done, avatars actually move when you are speaking to each other which is better than saying "/wave" all the time, you also get vehicles, thats another cool thing. Otherwise.. eh.. Its not a bad game, I just don't think its worth the monthly fee.

Great Game

I played the beta. It is a fun game and a nice change from Everquest. Zoning times are hardly noticable. Everyone starts out with their own apartment with storage space. Parents, be warned that this is really an adult game. There are "seedy" areas of the city with nudity and bad language amok. :)

I'd really like to order the game, however can't seem to find anyplace in the US that sells it?

Neocron rocks.

Neocron was my first venture into the world of MMORPG, and what a fantastic choice it was! I've been playing for over 7 months now, and apart from one glitch that the customer service people handled really well, can see myself playing for another 7 months.

The 4 character classes, and the strengths and weaknesses of each give a huge variety in game play options. I have high level characters in each class, and I'm still finding new things to do on each of them.

The political system within the game is complex, and adds to the overall feel of the game. The outpost war/PvP system makes for an added challenge.

Try out the 10 day trial, and you wont be disappointed.

A really entertaining game.

This game is addictive. Play it for twenty minutes and you'll be hooked. The game combines, for the first time, a MMORPG map in size comparison to Everquest and the FPS gamestyle of Unreal Tournament and vehicles that drive like the vehicles in Halo with a graphics engine that just rocks. I play the game every chance I get which is normally about 6 - 7 hours a day. Don't take my word though. Go to... to find out how good this game really is.

Neocron - update

Since there haven't been any recent reviews, I want to put my two-cents in, since I've been playing NC for four months now.
This is a great game, although, as others have said, there are occasional "crashes to desktop" or FRE's. While these can be frustrating, the game itself is quite engrossing. You have the choice of four character types - Private Eye, Spy, Gen-tank or Psi monk, with several subsets of each. Besides fighting and hunting, you can become a trade-skiller, building better items for sale or trade. Also, there are eleven different factions you can join, each with its own political agenda.
While there are PK'rs among the ranks, the game is based on OP-war, PvP style fighting and new players have the option of retaining their LE (law enforcer) implanted chips to mitigate this, if they choose.
Another plus not usually mentioned is that there are five world-wide servers - one German, one French and three English-speaking. Each has it's own distinct flavor, if you will, i.e., Saturn (English) allows you to create up to four characters and has more PK'rs, while Pluto (English) allows one character, but seems to have a more cooperative tone, IMO. (That isn't to say that there aren't many good folks on Saturn, some just get into role-playing more than others).
Definitely try the demo and check out the forums at neocron.com, but you owe it to yourself to look into the "future world" of Neocron.
