People say go back to nc1 because on the whole the game was far more balanced and enjoyable back then than it is now. For a start resists worked and all classes had a chance to compete in PvP. Yes, hybrids were op but only the really skilled ones were impossible to take down.
I don't know what you're smoking but it must be some fucking mad shit if you think neocron is even remotely similar to wow in any way, never mind that being a reason people from wow wouldn't play neocron.
