I believe new players would welcome a world where everyone starts with nothing (but maybe some prior experience). And i believe Titan should stay open, so that veterans could bravely fight at OPs and in plaza 2 like they were doing for many years. Or try the new server. In that case i'd be happy to get a new life in Neocron, and i'd be happy to pay to the tune of 1 € (0,71 GBP, 1,07 USD) per month and character slot.
ARGH - not again, this new server-shit story...

Not quite. Neocron, being a MMO, doesn't stop you from playing the game after you cappped your char's exp. Unlike a typical solo-RPG. So you'd work your way up to full cap through all means this game has to offer, but once you reached cap, you're not reading a farewell mesage like GAME OVER or YOU'VE WON or THE END, but are allowed to play on for years, typically PvPing in your leisure time. That's what i was talking about: "game" vs "endgame".
guess what guys, none of this is going to happen....
Yes, Odi, You can either play the game, or try to level up as fast as possible in order to cap out and then play a weaker form of Counter Strike.
Other MMOs try to adress this problem by adding new high-level content, extending exp cap, adding skills, adventures, missions to keep people playing. Unfortunately Neocron isnt backed by a rich and successful development studio, so we're not enjoying a constant flow of new ingame-content.
No it's not a weaker form of CS.
It's a mmofps.
Other MMO's also have massive problems because of new additions. Ever heard of Content Creep?
Time and effort should have lasting value. Not be invalidated every year by a new addon.
Also you're always free to create your own content (Events).
Your solution to lacking endgame content is:
Force everbody to level again.
That doesn't even address the core problem you describe yourself.
Runner, please. What i'm saying is: If NC will ever go on Steam, or at least enjoy that mega-overhaul our favourite Devs are hinting at frequently, i would love seeing both Titan kept alive and being offered an additional, new server for everyone wanting to start from scratch. That would be awesome.
Me thinks somebody is trolling you, Torg

Yes it's a pain but you will have something more at your disposal other than weapons, skills and such... You will have your knowledge of the game that new players won't have.

Sorry couldn't remember my old password to use my old forum name..
I would be for anything that would bring people to the game. It is easy to level and get items in this game. Wipe away.
