View Full Version : NEOCRON CV (Your Employment History - Get ready...)
Hey all,
I don't think this has ever been done on here... and I know it could lead to a couple of flame wars, but I'm hoping we can be mature - reminisce over the good times we have had, and hopefully attract a few old-school players back with this thread! (I'm an optimist!) :)
Anyway, to the point:
How many times have you seen a name around in Neocron and thought to yourself 'I know you, but I can't remember where from...' ?
I'm sure there are people you know really well now, and just want to know a little bit more about their NC history.
So, please post your Neocron History, from as far back as you can remember! This will probably take you an age.. like mine has, but hopefully, some of you will take the time to do it! :)
Be sure to include:
- Your character names
- Server(s) you played on
- Clans you joined
- Any memorable players from that era/clan
- Any memories you can add to humour us!
(DJ, don't just write SKULLS) :lol:
I will make a start, for anyone that's interested...
It started way back when…
A real life friend, OpTi (Bassist in my band at the time) advised me to try Neocron back in January 2003.
I subbed, after loads of messing about with KK’s payment company at the time, and LOKI was born. A pistol PE in the NEXT faction on the Uranus server.
Day one in game, LOKI, as an unclanned NEXT pistol PE (Without an LE in) – I was PK’d for the first time in the Plaza 1 rat sewers by a guy named Headshot, back when you had NO safe slot, and dropped a pack instead of a belt. I went to fetch my RL mate OpTi, and a guy called Spacedoubt, who came to help me, but they were ganked too. Headshot was just too high level for us. HE HAD RARES!!! OMG A SWIRLY!!!
After losing most of my weapons and items to the EVIL PKr Headshot, I was helped out by a guy some of you may remember…. Neofrog. Neofrog was the leader of The Ronins, and for a long time, one of the more popular players on the server. He played as a bright green Hybrid monk, and was virtually untouchable. He gave me a Wyatt Earp and a Liberator – and sent me off to the world of OP wars. I died lots, so I quit the clan and decided to go it alone for a while.
I was then recruited by a clan called iTREK (I bet you didn’t know I was in this clan Al) ;) Wow, I’d never come across so many morons in such a small space before this moment. There was Ginger Magician (He was my superior), Frank Horrigan and Sarah whatever the hell her name was… oh, and you can’t forget BiteMyOrange (who was actually alright…). We were noobs. We tried to take a couple of OP’s, and then Ginger Magician annoyed me. I stole all his stuff from the clan apartment, and then left (I’m not ashamed of this, after all – it was Ginger).
I then spent a good chunk of time solo, playing as the Pistol PE Loki (who had the most appalling setup imaginable). I had stolen from a clan, and left The Ronins. Needless to say, I had made a lot of enemies, and very few friends. I was still getting hammered regurlarly from guys like Headshot, kEiThZ & XaNToR of uTs. I saw there names, and I ran. I wanted to be like that. I wanted a bad reputation.
In order to build that reputation, I had to start again. I transferred all my weapons, cash and items to a new character. Rabbi Fang. Rabbi Fang was set up with a bunch of other characters known as the Rabbi’s. We roamed the Uranus server, as level 10’s - Group Ganking all we could find. In the rat sewers, in the Aggie Sewers. We never Smack-Talked, we only ganked. There was Rabbi Nail, Rabbi Tooth, Rabbi Claw, Rabbi Fang, Rabbi Vampire and a couple of others I don’t remember now.
Anyway, the other guys went back to playing their mains, whilst I stuck out the reputation, and carried on my evil ways. I was starting to become known on the server at this point. What people didn’t know, is that I had no idea of how to set up my character. I opted for speed. I have about 130 Agility, and almost all my CON in athletics. I was STUPIDLY fast. I could out-run anyone on the server, and had the WORST resists. Because I was a PKr, I picked on levelers, and managed to cap my char without being killed once. Then it happened. XaNToR killed me at CRP, with the help of kEiThZ, again. I then asked to join uTs, and was generously welcomed in by XaNToR, after proving myself in Neofrag. Hivemind was also in uTs at the time, but I didn’t really know him that well then…
Unable to understand German, I decided that it was probably for the best that I left – but remained friends with XaNToR, Natasha, kEiThZ, Lucky and Hivemind.
I then decided to make a PK/OP war clan (YzA) with Vic, Snow, Kublai and a few others. We were fairly good, and worked well together… but lacked numbers to hold our Ops, so we merged into =SSC=, and I was offered a rank 13 position. =SSC= didn’t hold Ops, and it was run by Sir Rah and QuantumDelta. I think it’s safe to say that QD lived to deeply regret recruiting us. (Jini – weren’t you clanned with me in SSC back then for a bit???)
During my time at SSC, I declared war on a clan within the same faction (MJ12 – led by Arek, who turned out to be my number one enemy). I then left SSC on bad terms – and joined forces with someone who was actually more hated than me…. MattUK_24. Together, we built an army, called –sYn- (The Crahn Syndicate). We went from 2 members to 180 members in less than a month. We ZERGED the server, and actively held around 15 Ops for several months. I was using a Ray of Last Hope drug setup that XaNToR and QD helped me develop, and at the time, nobody else had figured out the whole drug thing.
sYn had several big named members, a lot of whom are around today, a lot are long gone…
Skuid, Skuld, Slutsumi, Barely, Dracula, Alucard, Doc Holliday (I’m sure you were in for a bit), Kid Brainiac (Kapow), Pyper (William Antrim), T-X, Sir Ramic Hobbs, Decimator, Jester (NC Junkie/Zeke Denton)… infact, there are way too many to list – I think we had literally 60-80 ACTIVE members. Our OP wars were just silly.
-sYn- was finally fizzled out by what was called the ‘GLA’ (Not by me, but by many… and stood for German Lamer Alliance). It was an alliance made up of uTs, LP, MJ12, SSC, TJ, and a couple of other clans. Looking back on it, it was the only way they could match our numbers, but we thought at the time it was lame. It led to a lot of people quitting the game…
-sYn- was disbanded, and I was invited to FLUX. A great clan, with great people, and one by one, we all started quitting NC, until the launch of NC2 – by which time, all but Tratos (Quoth) had quit.
I have come back to NC several times since, as Rabbi Fang. I joined Gunnar Aegirson’s FETISH for quite a long time, and even had a spell with sYn reborn (Which turned out to be total SHITE).
Right now, I’m in Al’s clan, Bodycount, and enjoying the game all over again.
Long live Neocron :)

I first started playing NC after watching Ramic and Arkanis PK a whole OP team at CRP. Someone had stole Ramics 5 slot Tride fusion from a belt and didn't give it back. I thought "Damn, I gotta play this game".
I created a melee gentank called Roger Ramjet. Levelling and teaming was tough (no one in a cave team wanted a melee tank), but the day I got to use BoNeCrUsHeRs Blade of Ceres was one of my happiest in NC. I jumped around factions, gaining all of the pro city epics aswell as City Mercs, when I was invited to join Underworld with Ramic and Neptune. I had started playing towards the end of the days of sYn and the GLA, and during the rise of NCAT. In Underworld under the lead of Cerberus we had some mild success at OP fights, but after an incident where Ramic led me, Paolo and Lukara (I think?) defending McPherson from uTs, R2K, synchs and a couple of other clans (they were fighting amongst themselves mostly) the clan broke up. Ramic and Cerb fell out, which resulted in Ramic leaving the clan. I followed suit, and Ramic formed LAARD (The Loud And Again Righteous Devotees).
Underworld slowly fell apart (I think Cerb took a break at that point), and we took the opportunity to recruit all our ex-UW mates. The ethos of LAARD was fun. The only rule was "you must have fun", which we did, in huge doses. We OP fought and raided daily, and slowly we attracted members from outside our faction. We started owning regular OPs. Grant Mine, Emmerson and McPherson became our priorities (since they were the best to fight at), and we fought hard with Illuminati and Desperadoes for them. We were too small to take on the big guns of the server, the NCATs and R2Ks.
All of that changed one evening. As we were fighting Illuminati at Crest Uplink, a literal army of Fallen Angels stormed in, wiping out both us and Illuminati. This came about because a TG clan (RAF, I think) was raiding TH constantly, even though they were allied (if I remember correctly) and the Fallen Angels had created "The United Angels", an alliance between R2K, SSC, Ste Bedfords (can't remember the name) clan and a couple of others. We held an emergency meeting between the TT clans, spending hours gathering the respective leaders of TNT, INSP (inner sphere) BRUTAL Deluxe and The One, and decided upon forming the Tangent Alliance (although The One didn't join due to problems with their playing times).
Over the next weeks we fought the United Angels almost non-stop, Emmerson and Tescom being main OPs. The fights often lasted for hours, and usually stopped once members had to log off for numerous reasons. OPs weren't ninja, fallen enemies were resurected, and both sides held each other with mutual respect. This was my favourite period of NC, and nothing has even came close to this.
But, everything good must come to an end, and at the start of NC2, LAARD and the Tangent Alliance was no more. INSP, TNT and BRUT had moved to the German servers, The One became inactive, and LAARD was too small to contend in OP fights (although we gained the title of the policemen of NC at one point). This is the end of Rogers story for now. Although I've done many great things since then, fought against and alongside many great friends and foes on all servers, this was by far my most important period of NC, and certainly the one that shaped my outlook on NC, to have fun.
Many of the people I met in LAARD I wish I could have been friends with in real life to be honest.
Respect goes to Ramic, Neptune, Deci, Kid, Paolo, JJ, Arkanis, Xeno, Sol, Cerbie, Lukara, Witch Hunter, Dante, Nutz, Origin, Polgara, Silent and the rest of the TNT clan, Grillo and Voldemort and The One clan, INSP, Bruder Michael and BRUT, and to Spiro, SirRah and R2K, and the rest of FA.
"LAARD. Always outnumbered, never outgunned"
How the hell did I forget the Synchz and R2k?!?!?!
Nice Roger... I forgot you were around for sYn :)
Lets see now.
I didnt get into beta (Didnt even know there was a beta) but i kept looking at NC1 waiting till it got out on the street, and bam! the day was there, me and my schoolmate ran out and bought the game and away we were.
I made an APU as my first char, the idea of massive damage and no defence sounded like a blast, so after getting lost a whole lot of time i got to Plaza-1 and asked if anybody could point me where to go.
An unknown guy told me to go to the sewers and that the Law Enforcer in my head was giving me a pretty bad minus (You needed higher stats to equip some items and there were a cash reduction) so i popped it out and went hunting for some rats.
The next day i went back there even if i was a little too high (No idea where i should be at that time) so i was stabbing roaches to get STR xp when a rifle PE came down and started shooting at me, heart up in the throat, pounding like a maniac we had the fight and i came out victorious and grabbed the very rifle he was using against me (Outstanding Archer Companion Rifle with 2 slots, i wonderred where he bought that) and i was sold to NeoCron for years.
The first clan i joined was "UK Rangers" on Uranus (Or was it "US Rangers" ?) and what a blast that was, before i knew it i was out in cars, getting more xp than you could throw a stick at and the guys and gals were cool, i feel kinda bad that im such a tosspot when it comes to names.
One name that i do remember however is Akasha, the lovely monk, now theres a gal who were friendly and kind.
Anyways, the Rangers were getting bigger and bigger and everybody got hooked on going for OPs and whatnot, but i wanted to take the road less traveled, so i left the Rangers and founded a clan with some guys, the idea was that the clan was to be a noob training center and thus the clan HOTA was born, and for a while, all was good.
While everybody was out looking for glory and fame i just wanted to stay in the shadows, do some fun stuff from time to time...and maybe an assassination or 2, so i made my rifle spy "Judgement Day" (Yes yes, i know, laugh if you must) but he eventually became my constructor, living the good life in Via Rosso.
I didnt do a whole lot of stuff in NC1 which would lead to fame, so here ends my chapter.
NC2 came along and everything was topsy-turvy, so i worked myself up with a mate of mine and we eventually made "GunRunners INC" which became a semi-RP/Buisness clan with my pistol/constructor spy Doctor Lugnut, so i met a lot of funny people, some got mad, some were nice, some anti's invaded me a couple of times but a lot of fun was had nonetheless.
Eventually i met up with Matanius and Bain and after a lot of fun and gags we made a clan, but sadly by that time i had seen all that NC had to offer, tried everything, been everywhere and then done it all again and the interrest faded away, sadly, here ends my story.

Awesome idea, and no i had no idea you were in Itrek. I used to fight with Gambler quite often, pretty much anywhere i saw him and to this day I have no idea why. P.s You forgot Reborn (the first name of your crahn clan that went down the tubes), My brother was indeed in your clan, SSC shit themselves apparently when he turned up at a tescom fight with Syndicate at that time. I dont remember the other rabbis, to be fair I knew of them through you and all that but the first time we "met" proper was in Pepper park when i was fighting with Doob, or omen koulikov or whichever of them it was. He hated our brother and so hated me tbh for some unknown reason.
Anyway, from the top:
Ok, never played any mmo before for any length of time but decided to pick up this game the day after boxing day in the Game store in town where i live. It looked ok but didnt work for 2 or 3 days (account problems, support problems etc) and so finally got it working on 30th December 2002. (I remember this because I almost didnt go out on NYE that year because i was addicted - i did go out however and man that was some good acid but thats a story never to be told).
SO I read the manual, I wanted to be a hacker, the manual tells me that spies make good hackers and they can use the exotic weaponry and all this stuff. I was half way through looking at tanks and thought F it, the spy it is. Next problem is a name, so i go through my list of names I have played in unreal and I cannot think of one. I ended up thinking for some odd reason of the pied piper of hamlin (I think due to the eminem track lose yourself playing at the time but not entirely sure). Anyway a spy is born. I pick Uranus as my server (it is my birth planet apparently - im not into all that astrology stuff but I've been told this before).
So i step out of my apartment in via rosso 3 and crash. Boom, welcome to neocron. I log back in and there is noone around. There is an argument going on on trade by between some people, I have no idea who they are but I ask where everyone is and I am told plaza 1. I make my way through the deserted streets thinking where the F- is plaza 1 and where are all the players.
I get to plaza 1 and the first person I see is DT.Arial, he tells me to go round the corner to Medicare and thats where all the people will be. I go there and I see White Rabbit (miss that guy) stood in his usual spot touting for pokes and then Matt_Uk24 stood in his power armour. Wow.
A bunch of people help me out with stuff, I get some knuckles from one person, a laser cannon from another (im a spy but whatever, I went on to use it anyway). So yeah off I trot to the sewer and I am faffing around in there for a bit, minus my le and some guy turns up with a Pain Easer. I stood in awe for the 2nd time in as many minutes and can definitely say this was the point that the Neocrack took hold. I WANTED one of those!
(I need to just say a special thank you to The Department Of Justice - DoJ and the Grand Templar Order - specifically [GTO]Velina/Dobol who gave me the grand tour of nc, all the sewers, the outzone, pepper park and everything and gave me more help than anyone else I met before or since in nc - if you ever read this mate nice one!)
His friend turned up right after and he had a First Love I think and I was like omg... wow etc. They gave me some more advice (noone pked me for AAAAGES) like removing the le etc and gave me a Colt Budget pistol and some money.
A day or two later and my brother takes some interest in the game after seeing it over my shoulder and he decides hes gonna play too. By this time I have got to around level 10-12 and am a constructor/pistol spy who can use a laser cannon and a laserblade (yep, thought i was a Jedi :wtf:) and no idea how to spec resists but did a pretty good job of it I think.
So yeah fast-forwarding a bit, he comes to play, I got my first pk a few days later. A female tank called codename Sexy comes in the sewer and ganks like 3 people but strangely leaves me alone. I have no idea why she does this but I continue about my business. A split second later 2 tanks (Arrakis and Cloakenator) come bursting through the sewers trying to gun her down. I see this going off and start shooting at her as well. I landed a couple of hits and down she goes. MASSIVE soullight drop for me and suddenly I am wanted by the Copbots. I lose everything I own because I just climbed out of a smelly sewer right into the face of a copbot and so I am once more starting from scratch. Soullight eh, who would have thought it.
So now I am skint again and my bro by this point has started to forge his reputation as a street doc, I have made friends with Fank Horrigan (no R as he spelled it wrong) a german guy and I forget his RL friends name but anyway. So I am chatting to him this one day and we are walking through Plaza 1 and a monk decides to end it all and throws himself off the skywalk. Now this was the time when you dropped whatever you had in your hand, not a belt or anything else that came later. He dropped a Wheeler speed bike key and I nabbed it. I was made up! My own vehicle. It wouldve cost me 100k in the shop and I thought it was the mutts nuts. I went riding it to Simmons factory one day for the laugh and got pked by the uTs. shame. My bike got pked too and that was the end of that.
By this point I think my brother had been invited into Death Row (yes the original Death Row was about 3 million times better than the later incarnation) and met up with Rozzer187, Mcneill, Gadagoonstah and Yzzy, still one of the craziest people I have ever met in nc. Also we met God36. He, well his mouth, turned out to be one of the more interesting influences in my nc life. He was always getting us into fights and we loved it.
So I joined Death Row and was in the clan for a few weeks when I went to my first op fight - I was level 20 and using a slowfire rifle I think (I had lomed by now and specialised in rifles so I could "pwn" and Xantor came along and killed all 6 of us.
Something happened and to this day I do not know what but Rozzer told us the clan would have to be disbanded and everyone would go off and find other clans. We were gutted. So my brother decides he is gonna found his own clan and we scrape together enough money for a clan key (no epics back then) and formed our first clan, WYC or Weyland Yutani Corps. We were for the most part a 2 man outfit and then we got a RL friend involved (T-X) and met another player from across the pond called Jared Paul at the time. A rifle Pe. He frequents the forum now as Bozz and over the years we have kept in touch for the most part. Bozz brought over his first tank and we recruited a couple of other people into the clan and we were rolling.
We levelled together till about level 30 or so and then Doc decided the clan was going to merge with another up and coming TT clan called the Shadow Warriors, led by Scorpius - awesome guy for a clan leader, patience of a saint. So we met some more people who became ultimately quite famous in their own rights in time, Sir Ramic Hobbs, Arkanis, Llorindol, Kreed, Haloperidol and many more besides.
Soon after this we started to get involved in a lot more pvp, at that point mostly at military base where we would fight with some Fallen Angels runners like Brossec or anyone from SSC who happened to be levelling there. We fought a few of LP and MJ12 with mixed success too, until Arek or Mcfuckinghead would turn up and own us.
My bro then quit the Shades wanting to strike out on his own and founded the best clan I have ever been a part of, The Regulators. We merged with several clans owing to his statesmanship and charisma I would guess and became a premier force on the server and imo one of the best procity clans on Uranus since Flux (the original Next version) and The Ronins had quit.
We went op fighting for months and months and it got to the point where I had rolled my pe, tank and ppu so that I could fight more successfully. There had been a bit of a sour taste in the Shades mouths at this point so when I rolled my ppu I put him in their clan, along with Kid Blast (our brother) and there we met Kid Stardust. A great friend and a cool guy and one I have been likened to and confused with on several million occasions since.
The clan went massive, we held ops and would fight daily for months. Flocks of people joined us, more than I can list and then one day it all kind of fell apart. Infighting between various elements led to arguments about how the clan should be run and some people quit. The surviving members went to Black Dragon and formed a small outfit called Dope Smugglaz, we allied ourselves with The Cartel, the other BD clan of note at the time and met Tino and Bartleby/Fatwreck and Biggin and co. Another round of great friendships that to this day have stood the test of nc time.
By this point we decided that if we were gonna be anyone we would be the clan that made us remotely famous in the first place so we changed the name of the clan back to the Regulators. At this point Syndicate was just peaking also and becoming a great clan in its own right. In our Tangent days we had fought alongside Rabbi and co vs the horde (the GLA as they became known later) and so it seemed natural that when offered the chance to join them we did so. I moved my tank to Dbrotherhood (next) also as he couldnt go to Black Dragon due to symp issues so i stayed pro city and helped their clan out when they got pked and stuff. That was awesome.
About a year on battle fatigue set in I think. people started to quit, Nc2 was still a ways off and we decided to take time out from the game as my pc melted. After a month off I got a new pc and the draw of the Neocrack was stronger than ever! Coming back to the game I pretty much ppued full time for Syndicate until that clan went down the pan. I do not know to this day how it happened but a load of people quit and the rest of us went back to Black Dragon.
About this time Ncat started up in TG and remained very small for the most part, we had a few special guest appearances from famous plutonians and saturnites, Kidwithstick and a few others but I forget their names sorry. mc5 was launched and everyone wanted a piece of that, leading to the Hivemind/God36 wars - God36 went afk in mc5 denying anyone the chance to farm the parts. Hive blew a gasket and the two never saw eye to eye since unless it was down the barrel of a gun.
So as Black Dragon then we stayed, minus most of the guys we had played with over the years. PVP as we knew it pretty much died on uranus at that point. Most of the best players joined NCAT and they held most of the ops but in fairness they had noone to fight against as there was no real good competition. Pepper park fights ensued and then Doy "arrived" for nc2.
I went to NC2, we moved back to Tangent and reformed the Regulators with a handful of the surviving members from nc1 but the clan went nowhere good, we allied with UPS for a time and went to some fights with them but the interest died for me mostly. Quit again and had a few months off this time, went to play unreal tournament 2k4. Joined a clan, won a cup on clanbase and returned to nc. Didnt know anyone here and so quit again, came back a year ago, bumped into Rabbi Fang again and was cordially invited into Syndicate (as next this time) and so joined them. Played for a few months, that went nowhere just due to lack of players/talent for opfighting and lack of ppu support.
I decided then to go back to my roots in Black Dragon so I moved a couple of chars to anti city as I have always been the underdog. Started my own clan (after 4 years it was time to be the leader of something I decided, even if it was just me in the clan) and called it Murder Inc. Had a few fights there vs Death Row, the City Admin version. The irony was astounding. Rab decided then he wanted to run another BD clan and came up with the idea of Body Count (we hadnt decided on a name at that point) and he put a post on the forum. Cracker wanted to join, we said no, Cracker blew a gasket and we fell out (we are all matey now coz hes a good lad really and he has some AWESOME dance moves :D)
Quit again due to lack of players etc and the bugs killed me and then came back a few months ago, restarted Body Count, inherited a few displaced Black Dragons and convinced a few more to sign up and here we are at present day.
Well thats me and my four year affair with this bloody game. It has wound me up a few times but I have met some amazing people in it and become proper mates with a few of them. Special thanks should go to Dbrotherhood and specifically Drako-starr who I do not think reads the forum much but hes a legend in his own right and one of the finest clan leaders I have ever served with. Went to Belgium on a couple of holidays for meet ups with the rest of the clan and went drinking for 3 and 4 days straight each time, met his family and had a proper riot. Friends like that I keep for a long time so I have a lot to be thankful for in this game. I also have a few grey hairs that I shouldnt have I think from the stress it gives me occasionally too, but all is fair in love and war.
See you on the battlefield chaps!

How the hell did I forget the Synchz and R2k?!?!?!
Nice Roger... I forgot you were around for sYn :)
I was never in the clan though, Neptune and Deci were (RL mates of mine)

Damn there is no edit button!
Hota - Biotech clan, I remember them, we used to fight with you guys at level 20 or something in the sewers of pepper park! haha.
Roger are you sure you dont mean luminous path?
Ste Bedfords clan were the uk usa rangers - changed their name to just Rangers when they moved to FA. We got Wok (Girian) and Dutchusuk from them when they moved over to anticity. RavenUK was the original clan leader.

(DJ, don't just write SKULLS) :lol:
Silence wench!!
Anyway, I'll post what I posted in another dead thread as it's pretty much what this thread is about.
Little of DJ's past is known, mostly because she simply can't remember it, primarily due to her large Redflash habit. Bad memories of her time in Tangent and use of a Kami CPU don't help.
Though she started in Tangent, the breakdown of her clan, TCO, partly propagated by the Alliance Wars, forced her and several other members to move to the City Mercs to get out of the political scene.
Alas even the Mercs were not immune to what was happening in the world as the Alliance Wars gathered pace and it all collapsed with the MJ12 incident, shattering CM into small groups or forcing many to leave the organisation altogether.
The waning of Skull's power, that of CM itself and how the other factions viewed them gradually pushed DJ off the political landscape alltogether.
Now she primarily focuses on her dueling skills (though this has taken a down-ward turn of late) and performing what missions she can get hold of.
Given her experience with the political scene, she has effectively ostracised herself from the majority of CM, especially the more power hungry and aspirational parts of the faction that want to turn the Mercs into a direct military, territorial and political entity, rather than a simple group of guns for hire.
As a result she lives in near exile, often acting on commissions not given or requested from CM command.
One of DJ more peculiar irregularities is her obsession with her plasma pistol. No-one knows where she got it (least of all DJ herself) or who made it, and how it was made. Any time she can spare is dedicated to trying to improve it in anyway possible.
In more recent times she attempted (and still is trying) to revive Skulls as a Out-post assistance unit. Unfortunately an illness and the unwilling nature of the prospective client clans meant the project stalled before it really began. With only a few members left she will be continuing, though in a reduced capacity and with clients that she has worked with in the past rather than branch out.
Well yeah... good old times... :D
I started in public Beta4, i think it was Uranus (did it exist by then?)... some guys I knew were already in since Beta2 but we didn't get to play much together at that time. They helped us in some early OPFights with their CityMerc Clan, though... years later I would reactivate and join forces with them: Bonny, Sabot and Unearth are their current chars on Terra.
Whatever, I had little contact with these guys ingame at that point and started a clan with some university friends and colleagues... most notable Honkmachine / Honk the Kid, a fine Conster with a Riflespy. So we started a fresh Tangent Clan and got a running start when NC went retail... just to be stopped cold by uTs... :lol:
Vokuhila was the main annoyance as far as I remember, but Keithz is a name that stuck as well. I remember them flaming (with flamers, yes :D) Pepper Park all evening, no way to get through...
We were finally able to take some OPs, I used to play a Rifle PE named Black Sun but had problems in PvP and started leveling a Tank named Sarge Owens (Yep, the very char I play now). We had a lot of fun leveling at Cycrow, hunting Warbots at Gabanium with Rhinos and fighting from time to time at Krupp and Tyron, which we held for a few months.
Finally some people left and the atmosphere on Uranus was not like it was before. We had started some Fun Chars on the german single char server Jupiter before and finally switched fully to that Server. My char there was a Hybrid Monk also called Black Sun. When Hybrids got nerfed I lommed it to PPU, my buddy played an APU called Honk der Monk. We were kind of a duo infernale for warbots and took on up to 8 warbots / warbot titans simultaneously just with our two monks at around psi/int 85. :D
We joined forces with some people I knew and founded a crahn clan named Children of the Damned (The Damned). We had a lot of fun at PvE but did not really go into PvP as far as I remembers...
So I gamed on and on, played some DAoC from time to time and finally quit when Neocron 2 came out. I was totally disappointed about the whole thing... hacknet was unusable, the dome ugly as hell and some things one had become to love had been nerfed again and again... I quit.
Some years later in spring 2007 I had my half-yearly sentimental phase and took a look at neocron.com... they really wanted to switch the faction system back nc1-style? They really wanted to move factions back to where they belong? YES! :D
So I talked to Honk and Sabot about it and a few days later found Sabot and Unearth on our TS server... I joined the channel and was told they had just reactivated their NC accounts... :wtf:
Okay, in a now-or-never-mood I created a new account and started a new APU called Blaxxun. Honk made a new account as well and we found out it was possible to get your old NC1-chars into your new account and wrote our mails to support...
Next day I was able to import my chars: My old PPU Black Sun from Jupiter became a PPU named Blade Owens, something fucked up my Uranus PE as he got magically transformed into a Spy :wtf:. He should have been named Doc Owens but ended up as Dog Owens as some Int20 guy named Sabot hit the wrong char while transferring him for me (was not able to log into the webinterface that evening myself). Well, Sarge Owens just stayed the way he was... he just never got around to use his Paw of Tiger again. Damn the Melee-nerf! :mad:
Most of the others were able to transfer old chars or reactivate usable chars as well and we just had to get decent setups, equipment, money and a clan.
We started as CityMercs, the old traditional faction of Sabot and Bonny and were at war with Hells before we even had a clan up. The leader of Hells decided that all Mercs that did not want to join Hells were KoS and so we had to make some ties with clans from other factions to get support against a clan from our own faction... :wtf:
Well we finally started our CM-clan called TaSoC (Tactical Solutions Crew) with support from After Dark, eXL and WRLD.
We did not really recruit members at that time and so did not get into PvP more than a bit of PP1. So we joined DJ and Skulls to see some OPFights as mercenaries. At that point opfights began to become rare, less than a hand full of clans involved and we did not really have customers... Bonny moved his tank to WRLD on an internship after a time to get some OPFight experience... As DJ was inactive due to several problems (moving, university, wlan, account problems) we did not really have a leader, things were not sorted out and we were generally bored... so all of us got 1 or 2 chars into WRLD for an internship which was rather good for us as we had a lot of fun and learned a lot about opfighting, but rather bad for the server situation... especially when a certain active BD-clan disappeared and Ex-Hells FuPu (mostly) went inactive...
Well, us quitting our internship at WRLD is history (http://forum.neocron.com/showthread.php?t=141015)... ;)

Roger are you sure you dont mean luminous path?
I'm pretty sure it was Illuminati. Lickalotopus was the leader. Had a few other cool guys in there like Corrupt Midget aswell.

Lickalotopus = GoD36 = ANNOYING CAPS LOCK SPAMMER.
Anyway, it was Illuminati.

Ah yeah, lol.
I was in that clan too for a bit. Forgot about that.
Back in the day i only had my Gentank Kanedax and I played on Uranus with my m8 Tetsuo. I was in two clans back then, the first being Hell which was lead by Ginger Magician the second was a clan Tetsuo and I started shortly before I stopped playing the game. It was called NCPD.

optimus comebackamus. Tee Bee Haych.
Yes, these types of threads have been done afore.
- First char names were: 01 02 03 04
- First server: uranus, then venus/pandore/neptune and now on Mars.
- Clan: forgotten the names but we started out in TG and then moved to BD
- Memorable people: Ginger Magician, Bus driver
Got here from someone I knew who played Mankind (click fest space game) back in 2001. Had to wait until retail to play nc because I never got around to joining the beta. Or they would not let me in!
meorable moments - there are far too many and most have been forgotten:
Ginger Magician following me (unbeknowst to me) and asking me to help him level in the BD secret hq. We teamed and zoned in and he killed me and took my nice plasma rifle.
Getting rez killed in the outzone station 5 times because I thought it was fun, but did not realise that I was dropping items from my QB.
Dropping five items with red SL when I GRed into P2. These included 1 x male and 1 x CS and 1 x grey PA. they had just made the copbots react to SL.
Levelling off copbots in PP1 and off the walking FA bots in TH2 from the balcony above.
Proecting the TG Canyons from CA invasions.
Playing 'everyone' attack the tank with the Cursed Soul game in case it dropped from his quickbelt in TG canyons :D The sad thing was that he dropped it and I gave it back because he winned too much.
Joining Anachy Breed faction and then being transferred to Mars, where I managed to play undetected by KK in AB for 6 months.
However, after playing the new patch I have already killed enough PP runners to drop my faction symth down to -53 with them. d'oh.
AND: when loki I think said he was leaving the game he claimed he would give drop rares (with red SL) for the day whilst in the goal in OZ8. I went out, got some rather bad red SL and waited for him but he never turned up. grrr. this was a few years ago I think. grrr
