Questions about Neocron

**Nuvibe** · 02-12-15, 22:55

Ive been considering trying Neocron and have a few questions that hopefully will make my mind up and prey some players will do their best to answer for me...
Character customisation...how much can you customise your characters appearance?
Can you run the game in 1920 x 1080...I read some textures have or are being upgraded?
Does it have enough quests to help you level?

In my ideal world I'd love an atmospheric mmo with plenty of quests. Graphics don't have to be cutting edge...as long as my character looks cool and I can soak up atmospheric visuals and ambient sounds

Neocron ist not an MMO with a lot of interesting quests. It is more a sandbox, where the primal target is: Get rich and equip your charakter with the best gear to do PVP or found a prospering business to support a clan that fights for world-domination...Character Customisation is possible but comparable poor, but the atmosphere and the lore of the game is very good. 1920x1080 is possible.

Hey Nuvibe,

Like said Bruder, Neocron is very atmospheric, through the music, sounds, environments, the lore, etc.
There are few quests, and those are mostly "epics" which are chain-quests given by each faction, telling a story which help you better understand the game and offer substantial rewards.
What will drive you throughout the game won't be quests though, but your own curiosity and the fact you'll need to learn the game mechanics in order to expand your wealth.

But all in all, it's quite simple: Kill mobs to make some cash, buy weapons, kill bigger monsters to level up your attributes, then get yourself some good weapons built by player crafters. As you meet player crafters, they will explain you the deep and interesting crafting machenics, which you will maybe end up trying yourself.

Back in the days, in 2001, they used to call the game genre more of a Virtual Reality than a MMO. So just let yourself discover the huge world and make sure you always ask players for help. Chat is found by pressing (F1) then selecting a channel such as local, direct or other:help.

Have fun !

Thanks for the info guys. It sounds right up my street. I get the epic quest idea seems similar to daoc in which quests weren't prevalent but had a epic quest class specific. For a game with a small community it seems to have made a lasting impression on its players

there is a reason its name is Neocrack.

I have always Loved Neocron since first playing it.

Neocron is a rare experience that you will never find again. There are hardly anyone playing it ATM and this will only make you sad that this game is such a waste

You'll then compare every game you play to the experiences you have had in neocron which will only make you sad.

They need to remake it in an engine that works.

Nah no one really plays, we all went back when it went free but it became full of cheaters so we all left (again).

Seeing that your checking out this thread (I hope heh) could you tell me if this game would cure my craving for a cyberpunk kick? I'd like to know if controls are pretty much standard mmo style....you know...hold down RMB to steer wasd etc for movement?

fps-controls. lots of hacking (read: stealing things). and there's a hacknet ingame. for hackers, you know. i think it doesn't get any closer to Deus Ex or Fallout, in an MMO, than Neocron. Go try it.

**Nuvibe** · 06-12-15, 23:23

One thing that worries me is the population size. Seems a few people post here but don't actually play anymore

. Who will my answer my millions of questions ingame heh! You still play Torg?

**gypsiMoth** · 07-12-15, 00:46

I still Play regularly, and have for years.
