Well i still play NC because:

During all these good and bad times in NC ive found so many friends i just couldnt leave em :) .

There is no other MMOPRG which lets me enjoy PvP like NC.

Go on Guys.

My clan members make it fun for me.
FN does so much work for the clan...voice server, forums, info site, etc...
If it wasn't for all the work he's put in, and the great clan members I've had for so long, I'd be long gone...

It's all about the friends. Without them, I would not be here. Vent and/or TS makes a huge difference also. The PvP aspect to neocron is excellent as well.

clan thats about it. THe GM's just make me mad. I mean they make all us Pro City guys Go to freaking Doy or Right next to doy to level because there is not 1 descent leveling spot near NC and if there is they go screaming EXPLOIT when we AOE C10 ceres labs. We have to struggle to get out there all just to get pked. Then When we AOe to level quicker they come screaming exploit in the 5 minutes we AOE before we get pked. ANd if u bring a ppu with u he just gets tl3 healed and dies. I dont even know any more. Just my 2 cents. If u are gonna consider so many things an exploit Noob buffing is high on that exploit list.

Look at my sig. So far friends kept me in... the pvp was "ok".. but lately tbh... NC is just an expensive mirc client for me..

11-11-04, 17:19
What kept me for the last year was my clan and other friends I've made in the game. Since most of them have left by now, I have nothing in nc to keep me here. Oh.. except for this forum, I still have fun discussing stuff ; )

I still play cause I'm nibbish and have never capped a char. I went to MC5 for the first time the other night with a PPU and died like a little bitch. I want to at least do that a few more times before I quit. :D

Why am I still playing? I guess it'd be all the people I've met along the way (the ppl that helped me as a noob, people in the clans ive been in, and everyone else) that've kept me interested in the game.

Because the angels don't own the map yet...

then again... I could be here a while... :lol:

Speaking of the map, Terra looks surprisingly balanced in that area compared to the old days of superclans.

you obviously did not try eve-online

imho NC's pvp is rather average than good.
for FPS players its too static & numerical,
and for RPGers there is too few variation and complexity.


i anyhow enjoy adventuring within my fav. game genre.

I duno why I still play 8| seriously duno.

not sure why i play, as its hard to go pking on my tank when i get bad FPS, lag when firing my CS amongst other things.

its so bad i find myself logging my poker most of the time and just idling poking people while thinking of weather to log my tank or save myself the time and bother


However: ive had a few times of fun recent week or so that make me glad to play, 1 fight against a few FF killed a few had one running for UG before a apu PPu combo came to get me(thats one thing i dont like)

had another night were after a failed allied op fight(failed in that only 1 enemy came so i left)went to another op and spent around 3 hours fighting running hiding chasing a droner and a rifle spy, before fighting a pistol(god damn exe user)spy was doing ok then another damned pistol spy(yup exe user again :p )came on and both took me to peices.

but its days like that is the reason i still play, i know theres fun to be had

edit: those 2 threads, aint most of those guys either left or banned anyway?!?

I like the PvP and also the ability to solo and not need a massive group to level fairly well with.

I don't :)

But I still visit the forums in hope of that super-patch that fixes everything :o

I play this game definitely for the social aspect of things. Everyday, it seems like I meet a new friend. And I still meet people new to the game, and making friends with them not only makes my experience more enjoyable, but it also makes them stick around longer too.

Couldn't agree with you more. I spend a LOT of time in this game doing my own thing. I hated how in daoc, you had to group with 50 people just to get stuff accomplished.

Same, probably b/c of the recent OP wars or b/c of people I know.... I honestly dunno why I'm still here.

Also - because we as a community get to change the game world / politics etc thru OPwars assasination, and general numbfuckery. Not just relying on patches and code to make it interesting.

gaming in general is my main hobby, i view it the way some people might view a sport. im a competitor, some people coined the phrase cyber-athlete even. not my choice of words but there you go.I approach games the way i approach life (albeit not as seriously) in that i want to be the best i can be with the tools at my disposal. As such i measure myself against my peers and grade my own abilities against theirs. to this end there is one accolade i would like to acheive before i quit nc, that is to earn the respect of my peers for my deeds both on the battlefield and in the warroom or round the diplomatic table. until i do that i shant quit.

Sorry if that sounds too serious for you. Thats what came off the top of my head.

Honestly ? I play occassionally because i have a few good friends in here , and its damn funny to kick back in a strip club , get a /send from someone, stop drinking Cron 45s , put on my PA and go roll some scum fahqers in the wasteland.

rofl imho.

For the game environment. KK creates amazingly beautiful science fiction environments. I stayed away for almost a year, and by the end of that time I was almost physically jonesing to walk around in Neocron City again. The new DoY faction HQs are beautiful, right down to the new background theme music. (I even like the fact that all you pro-Reza creeps are stuck listening to Yanni or whatever that is in all of your HQs. We have separate musical themes for ourselves, and all of them are cooler than yours. Nyah. Pllllpppt.) The new Abandoned Sidestreet maps are the Best. Urban Warfare. Maps. EVAR! (Man, I want one of them converted to a Level 8 Abandoned Sidestreet. Hunting Butchees and Aggies and Cyclops Launchers in there would be the coolest thing known to man.) And my first time in HackNet my jaw dropped; the look is absolutely mind-bogglingly perfect.

Anarchy Online's artwork feels slapped together to me. Star Wars: Galaxies was amazingly dull, something I hardly expected from LucasArts. The artwork in this game, the maps and the logos and the grafitti and how it all fits together to tell stories, is just absolutely amazing. I spend a fair amount of time just crawling around the cities, taking notes when I remember to. I tell myself it's so I can know where things are later, but half the time I'm just sight-seeing.

The other reason is this: I ended up playing all 14 character character classes in Anarchy Online up to the mid-level. I mastered something like 10 of the skill trees in Star Wars: Galaxies. And no character class in any science fiction MMPORG has ever been as much visceral fun as being a droner in Neocron. (Being a stealthed Fixer in AO was close.) Even when we were gimped to the level of helplessness, and leveling a droner took weeks per point of INT and DEX, and you couldn't make money as one to save your life, it was worth it for the fun of flying and shooting them.

erm yeah i did, got me a moa and everything, but after like 2 months of playing i realised i bored the shit outta me...gave my stuff to shujin (i think, i know he asked me for it, cant remeber if i gave it...) and fucked off...
