Just to toss my newbie 2 cents in, the graphics are part of the appeal of Neocron for me. Yes, they aren't GW2 or BO2 or even WoW level, but they make the game feel real. Combined with the audio, Neocron FEELS alive. While I wouldn't mind seeing the graphics updated (not too much mind you, I'm on an older computer), I would rather see balancing, tweaks, and behind-the-scenes action make the gameplay smoother. Possibly a little more guidance in the beginning for new players, I can see some 13yr old CoDhead getting on, doing the Jones mission then saying "Now what, I'm lost".
Just my 2 creds :P
