Neocron now has an official Discord channel, and you are encouraged to join it.
What is Discord?
Discord is a free voicechat/messanging chat application akin to TeamSpeak, Ventrilo etc., but that doesnt require to buy a server - everyone can create own for free, nor even need to be installed and can be run just a window opened in your web browser (also if you want more functionality, its better to download Discord App)

Why join?
To be able to keep up with Neocron 2 status in real time, chat with support team and other players, ask and get answer to the questions about game and just hang out.
You can use both normal chat channels as well join Voice chat - currently separated in English and German language channels.
In addition, you can team up with players in discord and create own server/channels to be able to play together while using voice chat ingame.
In perspective, Trade and LFG channels might be added if there is demand.

Additional advice
Neocron 2 Discord Status text channel automatically updates with server status messages and player count regularly. You might not want those messages displayed every time its updated and you notifed about it with sound/pop up - so just "silence" the channel as is shown in screenshot below.
