[OT] Where have you ended up since NC?

Tabula Rasa... I miss it. Played the demo the other day for the hell of it. Damn you Richard Garriott. Damn you NCSoft.

Personally, I think Fallen Earth is the closest thing to the NC world out there right now. If it had Clan-owned Outposts, it'd be money. But it's still struggling in population even with their huge development progress over the past year.

Combat-wise though, Global Agenda has my PvP addiction. Fast-paced, FPS with character leveling and item customization. If you haven't tried it, it's well worth it and there's a free trial. I have 30% off codes, but to not be too shameless, I won't post 'em here, so PM me :p

Earthrise looks promising but I think we've all been in the MMO industry long enough to know that looks can be devastatingly deceiving *cough* Twilight War *cough*

What else is there non-fantasy FPS based? Why have we not bought the Neocron IP to develop NC3 yet? There are days when I miss NC, but like Billy Joel said, "Then the king and the queen went back to the green, but you can never go back there again". Just isn't the same *sigh*

-EDIT-

WTF, where's the text color BBCode??

Is L4D2 as good as L4D1? I never bothered to grab the sequel...

most people say it's better, but I never got into it, L4D was totally awesome with 3 good mates, doing the campaigns on expert with only pistols or something like that. L4D2 is more competition oriented, and I simply don't have the computer to play L4D2 competitively :(

Wow and i am really enjoying it. Pvp is completely different to nc, although can be much more fun in a good group, but is not as good as solo pvp in nc. Still as a whole the game is keeping my attention at present.

Soince 2002, I have played NC, with a 10 day play of wow, and a notable exception of wow in space (Eve Online). Not alot to report.

However, since NC I have lived in BE CL US GI and now in nL.
All been rather interesting.

har. This is a sad question and answer ^^

As of December 2010, I will have been with Neocron for 10 years, I think I'm the longest remaining person here. I was 22 When I started here...*sniffle*

I have 4 sons (2, 6, 8, and 10), a wonderful husband (you may remember Oath), a second job (work in the local dole office). I guess I've had a busy 10 years :P

I played WoW for 5 years (first EU servers then US servers) but don't play anymore. Mostly I'm just on facebook...yeah pretty sad ;P I watch Oath play (well used to Modern Warfare 2, but now Medal of Honor as of two days ago :P) on the PS3 or the kids play on the Wii.

since NC i've been playing quite a few games like woflenstein: enemy territory then Enemy Territory:quake wars, l4d2 (never played l4d, though) BF:BC2 (really disapointed by the game honestly). as MMOs i've been playing DDO online and LoTR online... Beta tested Fallen Earth didn't like it... beta tested Global Agenda but something was missing...

But I'm still daily checking NC forums for updates!

TRYING TO PLAY !!! lol

From cron, I stopped playing MMO's... was dark times and I don't really remember what I was playing.

I then played WoW, then Eve, then wow, then Eve. Occasionally coming back to cron when I found out it was free.

Now I am MMO free (except for free access to cron) as I've just moved house and can't really afford the subscription costs right now.

Usually find me playing LoL or TF2 these days.

Hmm, since the Cron stopped being my main game:

Synergy (HL2 mod)
Left4Dead - obsessively for 4-5 months then barley touched since.
Fallen Earth closed beta
Team Fortress 2
Borderlands
Company of Heroes
Various singleplayer games (FO3, Civ series, etc)

Dystopia is a HL2 mod well worth checking out for NC players. No, it isn't an MMO, but it has a cyberpunk setting, allows you to pick your own implant setup and pick between spy, PE and tank, a better cyberspace than hacknet (not really very hard)

Oh and of late, Minecraft.
Also, went through a phase of lots of Defcon matches, but think that might have still been when I logged into NC at least once a week.

Oh geez, I forgot that I played EVE for a few months :lol: it was really fun for awhile, but once you come to the realization that you will never be able to catch up to the long-term vets thanks to the realtime-based leveling system, it became disheartening.

For anyone still looking for a PvP supplement in their gaming life, I strongly suggest you try Global Agenda. There is a free trial and if you dig it, I only have two 30% off codes left (GACOU214823165771, GACOU214823184370) they went faster than I expected o_O

Fallen Earth has a combat update on it's PTS so that may be worth retrying here soon...

It's funny tho that for all the games that have come and gone over the past decade, none of them have hit just right the way NC did. Get parts from PvE, include rare parts as drops, all players to specialize in only one, maybe two things, random stats, customizable gear... It's just amazing that the NC Crafting system hasn't been taken to the next level in other games.

On my current choice of games to play, is Borderlands. Like the way it plays, and also it's got a wacky sense of humor, that just makes you crack up every time!

And oddly, I play it on the Xbox and the PC, although I am hoping my Xbox mates get the GotY edition as well. :D

Oh FN...what was that other game that was dubbed the NC killer, that wasn't?

Played a lot of L4D and L4D2.
Even more Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2.
A bit of Stargate Resistance
Tried some Everquest 2 for nostalgia's sake and quickly got bored of it.

At present I'm doing some good ol' Deus Ex :cool:

Well... Exept that you suck in 3rd person... :p
But yea, you would probably have been very, very good if you had played in 3rd person from the start..
