Ok, this is valuably customer communication. Out there in the real world you'd work with that by
A) advertising Neocron 2.3. Evo as the most RETRO cyberpunk postapokalyptic MMORPGFPS ever (think Fallout 2 online) , and by
B) banning everyone having an account today and concentrating on new, fresh, motivated gamers.
...maybe start with part A) - really, NC is such a rare gem, a unique game, the last of the "real" MMOs, and it's even more: it's 2 games for the price of one. At first, it's an MMORPG with classes, professions, character development, teamplay, social support, and once you're levelled up that toon of yours, it's an MMOFPS like Planetside, just more way more dark and gothic. And it's free.
You wouldn't steal a lot of customers from the likes of Destiny, but many others. I smell hope, even if you don't.
and B) banning the toxic guys never hurts. (Not me, i'm not toxic. Just a little, maybe.)
It's the neocrack. It's potent. Just when you've settled down, got a career and education - hey maybe even a lovely lady by your side! Then suddenly WHAM!
Relapse and possibly a prolapse from sitting on your arse for playing neocrack at weird hours of the morning...or night.
We will never be free.

It's really not a good idea to press for time scales as that just ruins everything. After all of this time I'd hope people would be able to refrain from asking for something so paradoxically bad.
The wish list idea is at least borne of optimism and is preferable to silence also. As for flame wars or attempts to stoke them... truthfully I thought that was a thing of the past also.
I played in beta 3 (Veronica) and it was really good and fun. Essentially the way it should be.
Then beta 4 open beta, people made suggestions and ... developers listened sadly.
Never listen to the clueless masses if you have a vision but they didn't have a vision.
Clueless being the keyword. And if you try to please everybody you end up pleasing no one.
Less is more etc.
That equipping your weapon raised your level was the biggest turn off.
Regardless, game released, I create a Tank (DarqTank) and I don't remember who the guy was but he was #1 and I was chasing him. He was like 5-10 points ahead. I don't remember what happened but I quit playing, I don't think I maxed it out. So that's my motivation right now. Getting my tank maxed in this game and do some sightseeing.
I didn't know there was a different Neocron. Where did they get the server software from?
That video looks nice, that "neocron classic".
The new UI forces me to play at 1920x1080 on a 4k monitor because it's so tiny and the font is awful tbh.
But hey who am I to complain it's free and it works.
However attracting new people with this isn't going to work lol.
Is there was way to have the classic UI back again?
I have a question .. game will be based on Titan client (1 crash per day, quite good for NC game) or Veedena (spelling) test server client (crah every 90 seconds lol with same rig and settings) ?

Sorry you came to this game so late, it was once all of our pass time, we loved it and it was because it did have a much higher population with much going on, but please do not let these slow times deter you from playing this game. Most of us vets are just popping in every now and again to checkup on it, I would hate to see this game come to an end because it was genuinely a great idea, a fantastic storyline of what a post nuclear war earth could be like. I did play this game in beta it took 6 days to download via a link on gamespy? On a 56k modem during my army leave some time real early 2000 or 2001 I think, erm Saturn was the server and it had I think around 600 - 800 players it was very insane in plaza, you could not move from one end to the other with out being pushed around by the congestion, the place was full of tradeskillers all selling their wares.
Pepper park was a bloodbath, rampant pking but it was fun! I lost my first gun just trying to kill some of the higher players, I remember being a total carebear and raging about it, the guys came up to me and hand me a different gun that I could not even use due to my skill point allocation. But when I left the army I came back to retail and I enjoyed this game so much that I would play in excess of 8 hours per day, not healthy but very fun. I am one of those players that longs for that sort of game to come back onto the scene and I reckon that the devs really need to start thinking about creating neocron 3... YES from SCRATCH! Crowd source it, get coders willing to work on it for free if necessary.
hehe new blood hehe man...
No they need to follow examples of successful games in modern times, modding, addons opening up the game to the playerbase which they probably will never do, cost is a poor excuse for lack of development, more talent is out their then they think. Hell I'm not great at coding myself but even I could debug code... Then there are probably many artistic people that could totally redesign every mob, dynamic thing to not look so dated, everything was said years ago before now.

I think the whole crowd sourcing for games is too risky for investment from both parties.
