Get it from www.fileplanet.com. The beta lasts until 26th.
Currently playing are me, Frag and perhaps Ivan.
I'm downloading it now. I didn't really care for the first one. Well I didn't really play the first one I beta'd it so I guess I couldn't jugde the first one. Hezzy and Frag tell me it's better, we'll see.

Oh come on...they didn't lose enough money on the first Neocron and came back for more? But, out of curiosity, how is #2?

Post Apocalyptic "Cyberpunk" type game where you can make your own weapons and how they have "Hacking" setup is cool.
Hacking is based on an old Commodore 64 game called Paradroid, you must play a logical thinking mini-game every time you hack.
Fighting is not typical RPG style. It's sort of an FPS but not a true FPS. If I remember correctly you can set bounties on people and there is a stock market. But that's just what I remember from the first Beta test years ago.

If its anything like the first one, all classes but psymonks and gentanks are worthless in PVP.
Rayder
2004-09-11, 09:03 PM
You can be a spy and camo, but yeah, tanks and monks are the PvPers.
Hezzy

Ok, here's what you should do guys.
Choose your class. Choose anything you want. Then choose an avatar (Like a race). This affects your stats. Choose "Tangent Technologies" as your faction.
Don't do the tutorial unless you feel you really need to. When you spawn, you should be beside a bed. Walk over to the base commander and go into the blue tube with the bubble things that go upwards. Go through the door. Once you load, go through the door on the far side of the room. After you load, it might be a good idea to press tab and use the various tabs to check your inventory and set up your quickbar. If you're a PSI person, put your PSI gauntlet in your implant tab.
Walk down the incline and turn left at the sign. Keep going until you reach a building which is the gene replicator. Use it and teleport to your apartment. This will cost 1000NC, which is the currency used in this game. Go out of your apartment and into the street. Head to the nearest sewer hatch and start levelling up. Please note that the place called "abandoned rooms" is not a sewer. It's a high level dungeon.
My character name is Hezzy
Frag is called Autochaos
Whenever you're on and not sure what to do, just head over to a com terminal and send one of us an email.

This game looks really good... I might get it when its released...
I'm downloading Ryzom instead. Anything with the word "Cyberpunk" in it has to suck moose testes.

How many people played the first Neocron? 16? It seemed like a good game from the overview, but there seemed to be so few players and had such a crappy fan base, I couldn't find anyone to talk to for more information. If Neocron 2 has more followers, it might be interesting to play around with it for a little while.

I can safely say that Neocron2 has more people playing, and I'm completely hooked on it.

I know the first Neocron totaly sucked ass... so I might as well try this one... nothing to lose except a couple of hours maybe.
Plus I could use a time-killer... I'm bored to hell...

those are for EMPTY DATACUBES, if you go to faciton hq and go to the guy in supply depot for a tl-90 you haveto fork over 400 buckss.
those ones are USELESS, there only tech level 10, very small and useless.
tl(tech level)-90 cubes are what you need to take blueprints off the hacknet.

In the first one i sunk a lot of time effort blood and tears into research was great for my guild (or whatever they were called) and with their funding we had a considerable library of everything you could ever want built and i could crack any ancient component in the game no sweat, but if i'd been trying to make a living at it buiilding whould have been a far better choice, maybe tonight ill DL.

it's not a sequel.
it's an expansion, it's called neocron 2 because you dont need the first to play... it's a total relaunch
