Neocron

Neocron Review

Since there haven't been any recent reviews, I want to put my two-cents in, since I've been playing NC for four months now.
This is a great game, although, as others have said, there are occasional "crashes to desktop" or FRE's. While these can be frustrating, the game itself is quite engrossing. You have the choice of four character types - Private Eye, Spy, Gen-tank or Psi monk, with several subsets of each. Besides fighting and hunting, you can become a trade-skiller, building better items for sale or trade. Also, there are eleven different factions you can join, each with its own political agenda.
While there are PK'rs among the ranks, the game is based on OP-war, PvP style fighting and new players have the option of retaining their LE (law enforcer) implanted chips to mitigate this, if they choose.
Another plus not usually mentioned is that there are five world-wide servers - one German, one French and three English-speaking. Each has it's own distinct flavor, if you will, i.e., Saturn (English) allows you to create up to four characters and has more PK'rs, while Pluto (English) allows one character, but seems to have a more cooperative tone, IMO. (That isn't to say that there aren't many good folks on Saturn, some just get into role-playing more than others).
Definitely try the demo and check out the forums at neocron.com, but you owe it to yourself to look into the "future world" of Neocron.
