Comment: Definitely overlooked Game if you search for the best PVP MMo out there you will be constantloy bombarded by games such as Daoc but the simple fact is they havent played neocron. The End game PVP is second to none. Small Clans can definitely get involved in 20-20 man battles and the fact that you can beat a lvl 60 on a lvl 40 shows that unlike games like WoW Skill is no doubt the biggest influence on whether you are going to be successful in pvp

Comment: Starting up Neocron for your first time, you need to create a new character. You have the choice between 4 different classes (Tank, Spy, Private Eye, Monk) and twelve Professions. This includes several fighter, supporting or trader professions.

You can customize every of those professions when you make the character by redistributing the start skill-points. There are 5 main skills and to each mainskill about 5 to 8 subskills. You will level each mainskill when you use a subskill of that group or by missions. Each levelup you get in one mainskill you get 5 points to distribute into the subskills that makes you character advance.

The end of leveling is reached when you get 300 levels in the mainskills. Depending on which class you selected the different mainskills end at other caps. I.e. the Tank isn t the cleverest around and can not get his intelligence very high. The Monk on the other side can advance much more in Int, but is very limited to anything that involves strength.

The leveling is fast compared to other MMORPGs. The PvP is a big part of the endgame. Dominating Outpost, Raiding sectors of the opposing city, organizing clans or participating in events are the most common things players do once capped.

If you are done with happy teletubbies or elves singing and dancing, and want some real MMORPG action you should take a trial.

Comment: Neocron is a fairly decent MMORPG that gets overlooked often. If you are looking for something that plays a little different than most MMORPGs, than Neocron might be worth checking into. Basically the game is a FPS / MMORPG hybrid. You can aim and shoot like a normal first person shooter, however the higher in level you are the faster you can aim and the better the guns you can use. The game has four different classes, Tanks, Spies, Private Eyes and Psi Monks. Tanks are your basic fighting class, utilizing a range of guns. Spies are smaller and faster - they can specialize in guns as well (pistols), or they can be good at trade skills, hacking or even droning (more on this later). Psi Monks are essential magicians and Private Eyes are can specialize in anything, although not as strongly as anyone else. Droning was about the best fun I had in Neocron. Basically you can fly these little drones around - they are difficult to control at first because they slide and bounce off walls, however after you get used to it the sliding and bouncing is half the fun. All in all the game has a lot going for it, however a lot of features weren t real fleshed out and consequently there is a lot of stagnation. For example outside the city is there is a large wasteland with outpost you can take over for certain benefits. Unfortunately for some reason or another there is hardly any real battles for these outposts. A lot of these outposts just sit in the possession of some of the uber clans for long periods of time. Any small guild wanting some fun PvP are forced to endure endless griefing if they even think about taking on the outpost. Another cool feature is the NeoFrag. Supposedly you can go in there and PvP without any risk of losing your stuff. It would be a great place to practice, that is, if anyone ever used it.
