One thing that puts me off exploring this game more is the frequency of sync problems followed by dcing. How often do other people experience this? Luckily it's a quick process to log back in but ruins the atmosphere the game has created.

It used to happen to me, maybe 1 in 15 times. It's much more frequent now thanks to the "new world request failed" errors that everyone's been getting recently.
Sync issues have existed forever and I'd think if it could be fixed it would have been sometime in the last 13 years.

It used to happen to me on a regular basis, the problem was due to hardware.
If you have a cable connection or if you have an ISP which provides a cheap router, change the default router to a better one, in my case it was down to a Virgin Super HUB, if you have the same type switch to modem mode and the problem will go away... then buy a better router.
Note this problem also caused in-game chat to stop working, I would also sync to world creation error if I spent too much time in a zone, from what I can gather the problem is caused by UDP packet loss, I guess some routers are not good at handling UDP and the game engine is over sensitive to their loss, but I am far from being a expert on those matters. All I can suggest is try the above and also ensure you have set port forwarding for Neocrons ports.. But, from my experience this will not have any effect.

Ty Dis for the tip. Actually I do have a virgin superhub. I don't have any problems with other games I play, including Fallen Earth, Elite Dangerous and Swtor. I'll see if I can tweak a few things.
Hey, I've coded a new proxy from scratch. if you wanna try it open your UPDATER.INI and replace all IPs you can find against this one: "85.10.211.24"
-> Start the client directly / without the launcher.
But keep in your mind this is just an early version.

Quick update, did several zone tests...
Firstly got a ride from NC to MB.. not a single Sync issue.. perfect...
Then stayed outside of MB for at least 20-30 mins... Zoned back to MB.. no Sync issues. Also chat was working without issue the entire time.
This is all done using older router that would always have issues previously.. so far so good.. anyone with sync or chat bugs should try Zoltan's solution and report back
