We’d like to apologize to all Runners that, full of expectation, put a boot in front of their apartment door on December 6 – due to the massive apartment moves, Mr. Jones was unable to fulfill all wishes within the expected timeframe.

But seriously: We would have liked to release on the (German) "Nikolaus" day – also to celebrate the one year anniversary of Neocron Evolution 2.2 (start of the public test server phase). Unfortunately, not all the changes could be tested thoroughly until December 6, so we had to move "Patchnachten" (Patch-mas, as the German community lovingly dubbed it) to today.

Server-Downtime: 12/10/2007 – 2 PM to 4 PM CET

… Free game time
Players with inactive accounts will have to wait a few days longer to be able to try the changes in this content package. Due to the magnitude of this move, there could be unforeseen problems that did not arise during our tests. If that should be the case, we want to fix them before the inactive Runners populate the servers.

… Move to Neocron
We would appreciate it if you could immediately report (in the thread with the patch notes) any problems caused by the move. Check your apartments, go to your headquarters and check out the appropriate city sectors – of course this only applies if you are affected by the changes. Please take the short time needed to check this, so that the servers can fill up again as soon as possible.

… The celebration of Love
As Christmas is coming up, you shouldn’t neglect the appropriate amount of brotherly love – even though some of you may have new neighbours and a resulting rise in conflict potential. Joke aside: The Neocron Team wishes all the loyal players, the community and the former players that want to check the game out again, happy holidays.

May the games begin …


Amendment: Begin of the free gaming time for all inactive accounts

To begin with, we would like to thank the whole community! Your praise and enthusiasm have raised the spirits of the Neocron Team, and we are all very glad how well the changes were embraced.

... Free gaming time
Now that the extensive test phase is over, the relocation of the factions is finally completed. For this reason we offer a special treat for inactive accounts:

30-day free gaming time from 12.12.2007 – 09.01.2008, starting at 18:00.

The Neocron Development Team wishes all Players, Game Masters, Moderators, Story Designers, and Fan-Sites a merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

Please also take a look at the webzines Neocronicle and Voice of the Resistance where the changes of the content update and the storyline's progress are explained within a role-play context.

Yes!

I was logging on a little while ago and it said "Unable to log on, server is going down soon, etc." and I thought OMG is it coming?! :lol:

This is very awesome, can't wait for patch notes.

Bitte achtet zudem auf die Ankündigungen bezüglich der Webzines Neocronicle und Voice of the Resistance, in denen die Änderungen des Content Updates rollenspieltechnisch erklärt werden und die Storyline voran getrieben wird.

Please also respect the announcements regarding the Neocronicle and Voice of the Resistance webzines, in which the changes of the content updates rollenspieltechnisch explained, and the story line is driven forward.

Anyway on topic, it's looking good! Worst possible time for me though, I really need to do some uni work :(

Truly excellent patch. I think it Deserves to revive NC to all it's former glory.

KK, why did i not receive an email to let me know about the free gaming time? That way you could get a lot of potential players back.

I suppose that's a good idea, and makes good business sense. The people that are actively reading the forum are the ones that are more likely to re-sub after the 30 days free game time.

Perfect xmas present kk! Haven't played nc for long time now but i guess it should be about damn time to come check hows things. :D
Thought one thing that will bother me is that i can't just login for pure pk'ing, need to figure out how to setup builds right and get this new gear what ever there is. I need to leech apu and pistol spy slasher build somewhere!

41m left on downloading client. :cool:

good deal, but from the response i heard from older players (all inactive) will only a small group try the free time.

There were a lot of negative people online last night.

A lot of people on OOC who did nothing but log on to insult the NC community.
The main problem with free game time I guess.

Is to be expected, but don't worry, like always, those people will be gone soon and the real players can have some fun :D
