to me it sounds like the cops will go from there die you have a weapon out ways and go CA gaurd-ish (ocviously more inteligent, lol) so pro city guys can have there weapons drawn incase of an anti city raid.
i think alot less people will be monks with DOY, and more will turn to PEs or Spys for the infiltration or Neocron and vise versa.

actually i read the first bit as (been a few years since i spoke german fully) that support characters such as Droners and PPU can HIRE bodyguards, (e.g. Citymerc's).
Sorry for being an ignorant ass, but..
Question.
As a FA, can I then no longer play without having to purchase the expansion, because of the fact FA HQ will be in the DoY ? What would be the point of being a FA if I can't get to my own HQ.
Sounds good anyway. I will probably have to delete an account to be able to afford this if we are to pay on a monthly basis for this expansion (I'd prefer to pay one time for it, as I already pay every month to play the game after all, but that has been discussed in another thread).
Looks like BDoY will be worth it anyhow. Exciting changes are coming our way :)
I think you will have to buy NCBDOY to play the game at all but this will be a one off payment.Quote:

That's what it sounds like to me.
i all have my own toughts about these changes ... i still dunno if i have to be happy or if i have to cry ... time will tell :)
we hassled MJS to tell us if it was now a required add on (which would be pathetic IMO, DAOC and PS you dont "need" the expansions... DAOC improved the graphics, added classes, added races, added weapons, added stats, added items... and you can still play that without the expansion...) however i dont think we got a reply.Quote:

we are left to wait for the announcement (late dec / early jan wasnt it?)
It's just an xpansion...you pay once and you're done...
I can't really see why you wouldn't want it...epspecially after martin said that all current players will be getting it at a discount...after all this time of waiting for it and people wanting more...It'd be kinda dumb not to get it...it'll be adding a whole new area and (hopefully) more things to get/do...In AC you didn't *have* to get the xpansion...but if you didn't you couldn't interact with any of the items...you couldn't go to the new area...and you missed out on a lot of quests and new things in general...and he's pretty much stated it is a required thing because someone asked how long he would leave the normal NC servers up and running and MJS stated that that was something which was being heavily discussed...Quote:

*wow...I rambled a lot...but I think I got atleast on point across...just buy the damn xpansion :D *
No safe zones in NC = good.
TH/MB/CS = safezones = baaaad.
i dont want it :p i no longer regularly play NC. if DoY brings in some major high end content i may be tempted back... but im not sure why im spending what i am on the game, paying more just to carry on playing as little as i do seems like a waste to me.Quote:

this is of course only my situation, i can see why at least 90% of the players will get DoY :D
could you point this out? i must have missed it :D quotage pleaseQuote:

k,german aint my main language(nor is english) but here goes,someone else please fill in the gaps/correct my mistakes.Not everything is translated cause i had to mny doubts about them.
Also we believe,that it wont hurt,to put more responisbility
in the hands of te players.
Support-chars (droner,ppu), whome feel threatened while
venturing throug the non-safe zones,should hire some bodyguards(ex.CM?)
Who can protect them from harm.THats why a droner, who has found
a safe spot in such a zone cause great damage
(= droners can make plaza1 unsafe)
The whole way of playing and the whole filosofy of the game will change to the way we would have liked it to be upon the original release of neocron...
But first the release of Doy,who will be a counterpart to Neocron(the city)
,which will make it possible to remove the safezones.
It will surely go clearly in 2 directions.One is that there will be more PVP
and also improve the organisation talent of the runners
There will be copbots in neocron(but not coverig everything)
that will have doy on kos,but the same situation will be in doy.
CAnyon and TH wont stay the hq of TH and FA,the new Q will be inside Doy.THeir current hq will change into 'faction outposts'.We havent decided yet wether these outpost will be able to get captured by other factions.
The MB will have a ?safe zone? in te core area because the base it bigger then a normal faction HQ.
Prinzipiell i think that the removal of the safe zones will contribute a lot the the atmossphere of the game.COmbat is an element of the game and when it doesnt fit it will be taking care of.
You should make sure to activate the genreps in the faction hq so that you can travel in safety between certain zones(or you could just leave your sl in).This will make certain things possible for example diplomats.
Hey,we only build the world.. what you do in it is something we cant influence. But communication and organisation of 'Personenshutze' will be brought 'pfiffer' in game.
Im not sure about certain parts,but maybe others can correct/add.
ah ffs man...I saw this just recently again, but I couldn't tell ya where...I'll see what I can do though...but you gotta look at it in a realistic, logical manner...why would they take the time to run enough servers to essentially run 2 games...they'd have to atleast add another 5 dollars onto our monthly fees to support such a thing and bring in xtra people to keep things on both games updated and up and runningQuote:

now... you seem to be saying there will be new servers... wouldnt that mean new chars? you also seem to say that the old servers wont be staying up... isnt that a char whipe?
in DAoC (again :D) they didnt bring out new servers with the expansion. in PS they didnt bring out new servers with the expansion. i didnt play AO long enough to get the expansion... so i dont know about that tbh.
i think the best way of doing it wouldnt be new servers... not after claims of no char whipe by MJS.
just food for thought
