Originally posted by bsherlock What they need to do is combine all the accounts onto one new server beginning the territories etc from scratch. There are so few players now that its hard for a noob to level. I played for about a year but quit about a year ago and now i am back but although when people are on they are very helpful there are rarely enough people on. When i was on last people gathered together and there was so many people that most of them had to mute local chat. Now this same gathering area, which was the main 'marketplace' is now empty completely, apart from me yelling at everyone who passes to see if they have the tradeskill i need at the time
MUAHAHAHAHAHA
i presume your talking about plaza 1, you might want to check out plaza 2 normally more people hanging there these days as the CA guards in P1 open fire on anti city runners

Yeah i am on pluto, i was on the same server when i was last playing over a year ago and feel kinda tied to it, plus i still know a few ppl who are on still, so its nice.
But even the numbers on the other servers are only ever 100-200, and a year ago even pluto was getting about 500 people.
I think Neocron has the potential to be a great game, but the community was for me the best part. There was always somebody to help you, or to be helped and you could get anything you wanted.
I find that with the lower population it is very very hard to be a low level character, and i am forced to use crappy weapons because nobody it around to make good ones for me. Also all the ops are controlled by more or less 3 clans so there isnt really much chance for me to do anything.
I just think that putting everyone together and resetting the world would allow for more interaction and some more alliances and battles, the way it used to be.
Neocron 2: Beyond Dome of York will operate on entirely new server clusters that are considerably more powerful than the existing ones. There are also a number of other improvements that will result in a better experience for everyone.

Come on Nid you know these servers should of been updated a long long time ago. And it's not hard for them to be more powerfull then what we have now.
Better experience for all? What are you going o fix the syncing bugs? Remove almost all of the zones? I've been posting about that for a long time and yet to get a response. Maybe kk should hire some programmers that know what they are doing. That sounds like a something good to do don't you think.

I just reactivated my account last week to find out if this game is playable again.. I must say my biggest disappointment is the lack of peopel on Pluto. It used to be the hoping server and now it is nothing. I think the most peopel I hve seen on this server in the last 12 days is 103.
Disapointing.. But I am going to give it until BDOY is released. its got potential..

I dont think pluto was ever a happening place. I used to leave saturn and go to pluto to get away from everything. I found pluto the quite server that nothing ever happened on. I think you've been gone to long and you forgot a few things.

At the start of retail Pluto had the highest pop of all servers with about 550-600 at peak times

Yeah i played on Pluto for about 8 months solid a year or so ago and it was constantly at least 400 people online, up to about 550 when Americans got online, i almost saw 100 online the other day and since everyone now is capped or close to capped it really harms the game for new player.
So to all those considering neocron - Pluto needs you!
Well I hope that BDoY brings up the server population on all servers (maybe if they made those single charactar servers.. to multi servers it might help).. Neocron has some of the best ideas i have seen in a MMORPG. Drugs, Weapons, research, developement.. The perfect cyperpunk world. The crafting system is the best i have seen IMO.
Neocron has me for the next few months at least.. And I will purchase the expansion as well.

Oh c'mon. You can't really think that NCs crafting system is good. Its rubbish!!! The game is great. PvP rocks! But crafting? No way! Compared to SWG NCs crafting system suxx!!!
I wouldn't know.. I dont' play SWG. From what I understand the crafting system in SWG is not very good. I hear people making negative comments about the crafting system every so often.
My opinion of the crafting system in Neocron was based on my own observations in the games i have played.

Only played EQ for a day back around its release and didnt know anything of the crafting in it, and never have or will play AC 2....
But personally Neocron, SWG, and especially DAoC crafting systems are crap imo.
not being able to forage/mine or whatever have you in DAoC, haveing to buy everything from NPC's is something I found kinda lame... especially after all the ideas from other mmorpg's that were out before it that they could of taken a few ideas from.
SWG just made it too complex and too much of a chore. The crafting interface wasnt that great either. Was nice to be able to make better stuff then other crafters if you put alot of effort into it, but spending half the day traveling from planet to planet, haveing to make it past tons of nasty creatures packed extremely tight together on places like endor and dathomir, just to collect your resources and refill their power was what I didnt like. (there wasnt mounts/swoop bikes then... and the shuttles were on their 10 minute timers... hear its a little easier now, but dont really know or care)
Neocron's isnt as bad I guess... poll is a little biased since this is the neocron forums heh. I don't care for it(the crafting) at all personally, but it could be worse. My opinion is that with a little extra thought during the creation of this game they could of made found much better ways to go about it.
Anarchy Online... crafting there well... I like the game but crafting in it is lame.
I think Ultima Online had a nice crafting system. Harvesting resources was a chore, but wasnt boring or as time consuming as in SWG... some tradeskill people weren't even crafters. Alot of people spent their play time chopping wood and makeing boards for the carpenters or mineing ore for the smiths.
You would think all the games that came out after it would take the ideas behind it and improve it. Instead they make something obsolete to it. I stopped playing UO a long time ago(once Electonic Arts took over) and every new mmorpg that comes out disapoints me. I dont understand how they can make all these improvements on gameplay, graphics, sound, content, etc. but have some bad crafting system setups.
I think SWG is the only mmorpg(well far as mainstream ones go) I'd played that atleast tried to improve upon UO's system.
I played the beta of A Tale in the Desert. Personally I think the game as a whole isnt for me(20 hours of walking to get from point A to point B? wtf). But if that was just the crafting system for a full game (with the questing, hunting, pvp, etc like other mmorpgs) it would be cool. Would be awesome to see a game like WoW or EQ2 that had a crafting system with that much depth to it.
