I tried GA, I don't really have the comp for it, and it's not a really perfect game but it's lot of fun, gameplay-wise. Was only on trial though, thinking about buying it :)Quote:

Well before I started again in 2006 I tried FoM, whic sucked, as a game and espüecialy as a neocron replacement. I also tried MxO which had some good elements but on the long term sucked also (point and click in MMOs + me = big NO NO). Also did some SWG which ended up as me being a pilot only, because multiplayer realtime space combat is a lot of fun (that's why I am eagerly waiting for BP to be finished).
After NC I tried Fallen Earth. Great Fallout as MMO but Economy sucks so again no worthy replacement for NC.
Also tried GA, well I don't know if it wasn't free to play I bet it wouldn't be played that much. It basically is NC without RP, without Economy, without the wide range of possibilities to skill and outfit your class for combat. So again not working as replacement. If you liked Tribes or PLanetside it's still worth a look though. As a multiplayer FPS Game it works rather good.
Also had a look at Earthrise Screenshots and Videos and decided to not even give it a try, I guess it will end up somewhere between Fallen Earth and FoM, so no replacement for NC.
So now after 2 Years of abstinence I'm here again. Seeing the game's still running. And still seeing that with half a year of serious effort it could be brought to state that would make it possible to relaunch the game as a F2P title (seriously, the technical and graphical age is too old to launch it as a subscription based game, but if it's basically free to play I bet a lot of people would play if the problems we all pointed out so often would be solved beforehand).
To cut a long story short: After nearly 5 Years of playing NC actively and 2 years looking at the alternatives the only way to replace Neocron is Neocron itself, by either resurrecting NC 2 or finaly starting to make Neocron 3. But bare this in mind: If you make NC 3 make it a worthy successor, forget about 2 sided faction systems and all that mainstream garbage like thousands of quests, fixed storylines and so on. Keep the basic sandbox idea and support the freedom of choice about what to do next in NC even more by dynamic faction systems, player driven storylines and all the other great ideas you can read in the brainport threads of the 8 Years that this forum exists.
