nous voici en route vers un retour a nc1

Community Announcement 05/30

We are glad that Neocron 2.2 was mostly received in a positive way. For that I’d like to thank everyone involved, our community, the great GM team and of course also the developers themselves for the good work and the cooperation. The integration of PayPal was also very successful and was well received. Approximately 50% of the players are using PayPal by now.

For the further development we have decided on a way that is supposed to reverse one of our most controversial decisions: When Neocron 2 was released, we divided the factions among two cities. The idea behind this was that “Good” and “Evil” would meet in the Wastelands and fight over the outposts there. Despite the clear goals, this concept didn’t really work out as planned, for different reasons. We heard many voices that wish the initial situation back.

For that reason we will bring the factions closer together again in our next package, to create a more complex gameplay with more variation. Not only will the factions, including HQs and apartments move to Neocron – the sympathy settings will also be reworked to offer a more interesting web of relationships as base for the gameplay.

Even though this package represents a considerable amount of work, as many NPCs, dialogs and missions have to be reworked and tested, we do not consider the changes spectacular enough to call them Neocron 2.3. Therefore they will be integrated in a normal patch and will be prepared through storyline developments. We’d like to invite all of you to participate in those events and to support the GMs through presence and cooperation. All these changes will require about 2-3 months of development time. More precise dates will follow at a later time. Furthermore, as opposed to Evol 2.2, there will be bugfixing patches during this time, as well as some important changes like i.e. an update of the Soullight system.

We hope that this decision meets the majority’s wishes and we are looking forward to reviving the Neocron 1 feeling and the Pepper Park fights.

Addition by Thanatos:

Since the priority is to get everyone settled in their new (old) locations, we haven't reached a final decision concerning the city of DoY yet. The city will be cleaned out and all relevant NPCs will be moved to Pepper Park, Outzone and Industrial, but we certainly don't want to close it. Any additional work on DoY will happen after the move is complete. What to do after that is still up for discussion and we welcome your ideas.

Ils auraient aussi pu mettre de QG de factions NC dans le DoY comme il existe des QG d'anti-NC au sein de NC tout en revoyant les sympathies et les gardes partout. Parce que bon là, ça fait un max de temps perdu pour une ville qui aura pas servi à grand chose. A force de revenir en arrière, refaire un p'tit saut en avant de déjà-vu, ça manque de neuf sur NC là, on tourne un peu en rond.

Mais bon, j'espère que l'ambiance NC1 sera de nouveau au rendez-vous. Il faudrait faire du DoY un super-OP.

Le bon point c'est ça aussi: CM will stay at the MB, FA moves back to TH, TG moves back to the canyon.

Il leur en aura fallut, du temps...

C'est quoi la prochaine étape ? Ouvrir un serveur français et faire revenir Alchemic Dream ?

[Sulquendi[ADLN]]

La prochaine étape c'est le retour du Pkilling de masse à Néocron et la réactivation des comptes des anciens de Venus pour rejoindre les ADLNs et faire de Pepper Park 3 une zone sous contrôle Tsu avec des barrages "payes ta belt" aux points stratégiques.

La deuxième étape sera le roxxage d'OPs, mais pour ça on attendra d'être plus nombreux !
