hahaha thats nice, to help with low pops u want to bring in a feature that ppl need to log in less then they'd have do now to get their stuff sold, thats hilarious, from low pop to no pop....

Question, are u employed by SOE or sumthing? that kinda logical attempt to MMO solutions sounds fking familiar

Actually, it would help ease the problems with the low population. Right now you can't really make a character and be completely successful in the first day if nobody decides to login that day.

The only real dependable resource we have right now is Ressi Blade, and even she will die off someday (<3 you Ressi

Just wish i could do artwork/graphics/modelling do everything but that

and no chance will NC3 be born overnight if.....and IF all legals and perms. were got i would imagine an Alpha MIGHT be ready around end of 2011 or mid 2012.

Why doesn't a group already start their own NC3, underground project and unearth it once it's legal?

lol except once players are actually able to get the things they need they will WANT to be logged in and playing on their characters instead of logging off in spite of there being no one to buy/trade with...

question, is my logic as flawed as you think? maybe you have a better solution?

when neocron was released everyone was a noob, and now we got our rares anyway. starting a new character doesnt mean that you cant get good equipment on your own.
also my experience is a bit different. i started a new character on terra a few weeks ago and i got everything i need in like 2 weeks. most people are really helpful and friendly. take a look at wow. if you want the really good stuff you have to get it your own and it takes much much longer than in nc

I would love for KK to do a "Experience Neocron as it used to be" week

All characters get temporarily "reset" back to 0/0 and we all can level again in aggies and everything together...

I do miss that.

Seems that EVERYONE that has a character, has merely "completed the game..."

Rares, WoC, Leveling,

Once you have them all done and completed, you're merely "on the same level" as every other competitor ingame.

which mmo game had a engine changed without making a new client? when i remember i'll post the game's name maybe KK could do that upgrade the engine without modifying the rest of the game code... right?

I've capped one char since I started NC and I never plan to do it again, leveling is fucking boring, sorry.

really?

Don't need an open source client, only an open source server. The admins could solve a lot of cheats and shit server side.

sorry i havent read all the way through the thread, but hit relpy a couple posts after FN's post on page 1, you suggest licensing the unreal 3 engine, i dont know but seeing what some people can do with the torque engine it would probably be better off using a measly $1500 on a commercial license of the latest tgea engine, and then theres the budget there to get the guys that pull off the stuff in the next few links.

http://tgeaenhanced.blogspot.com/

^ on that blog, look through all the _Hi-Res_ videos if you have the time, what hes pulled off with the torque engines fuckin stunning

theres also a video somewhere of a gears of war remake someone did with tgea, but all the links i can find are either removed or shitty vimeo... mebbe some issue with copying it i guess.. but they prettymuch replicated gow's shaders and texture depths spot on...

just a suggestion, i know the 'out of the box' version of tgea's pretty messy on the code, but a team of pro coders shouldnt have any problem fixing that up...

TGEA also supports 'atlas' terrain, you could have a 'seamless' neocron.....

wish could make a "Neocron 3 wishlist" from Game Engine>>>sample ideas>>>to plain old txt ideas.

for a simple idea.......If wished to keep current map (probably wont but) if did would another discovery of a 3rd city under the water on left of map be something to think of hehe

if we all beg nicely maybe someone be willing to create a sub forum for NC 3 wishlist perhaps?

afaik the NC Brainport sticky is for the current NC2....

Love to be part of a team to create/assist KK in making a possible NC3.......well here's hoping..
