I've been hit by the wave of NC nostalgia.
The discussion about Neocron is alive in Black Prophecy (english) Forum - communicator. Come and help your fav game out. Let your voice be heard where KK can't simply ignore your posts
It's here if anyone is interested - http://blackprophecy.gamigo.com/foru...ad.php?t=16531Quote:

I'll just say what I said over there (BP forum).
The whole thing is pissing me off now.
Either fix it, or tell us why you can't.
Mr. Kirk has Birthday today so... maybe if he is in a good mood he will let something slip...
Happy Birthday, Kirk. :)Quote:

The thing is I think Kirk worked for Reakktor when MJS came to the forums and told us all that he had never had a fatal error.....
That was some funny shit.
Lol, did he???Quote:

Every member of the team up to the CEOs especialy on MMO teams should be forced to actualy play the game (not for testing but for enjoyment) at least 24 hours per month.Quote:

And then all of a sudden the people playing and complaining wil seem like they are not playing the game you developed and you think they are all wrong or just don't get how this game must be played.
Sadly none of this matters the people that made neocron are long gone, we are just suckling off an extinct rapidly drying up teet
This has already been mentioned a dozen times but...
why not open-source it?
I highly doubt that whoever is running those servers is still making any money on this, publisher's bankrupt and most officials don't seem to care that much or at all.
So, again, why not?
Certainly, the fanbase is there and really, some people even took the time to write an emulator years ago.
From scratch.
This alone is proof that people are willing to put their own time and work, probably even money, into this to get back what was once a great game.
Sure, this won't fix everything but it's a start.
And it would surely mean a MUCH better image for ReaKKtor aswell.
At least, better than just continuing this pathetic history of failure with one or two <1MB Patches a year... at best.
Just an idea though, last time i logged in was years ago.
Even though, what's happening is quite sad so... +1 for L0KI.
open source nc current src code? nah bad idea mate. it's old useless and two rendering engines to work with... if you mean for nc3 then that might be a good idea...
Name one open source game that made it to a state of being finished/releaseworthy and had the decent quality (especialy graphics wise) to compete with commercial games.
You will find little to none examples of that.
Don't Open Source it. Hire someone maybe even from this community. A bunch of gifted peeps is floating around here.
