Earlier today all master servers from the Neocron server environment were moved back to Europe.
Why was this necessary?
As you have undoubtedly noticed in recent weeks, we have repeatedly experienced a problem with a network node at our US provider. Each time this node failed it became impossible to join the game world servers. Although the world servers have appeared unavailable at times, they have experienced no unintended downtime with the failure existing between the master and game world servers.
As a result of the move this internal connection is now much more reliable, meaning any issues with single servers should not have a knock on effect on the rest.
A second reason for the move is more efficient processing of login data. The login process should now be faster as a result, with other business logic (e.g. account management) also benefiting from the increased performance.
Please Note! If you cannot get in game since the move, please make sure your UPDATER.INI and NEOCRON.INI game client files are writeable. Once these files are writeable running NeocronLauncher.exe will correct your connection information and allow you to get in game.
This did not affect the world servers Mars, Mercury & Terra, which remain in Canada.
Have fun!
