Neocron Beta Impressions

NeocronCentral put together a fine explanation of how the beta’s shaping up, complete with new screenshots of this city-centric MMORPG. It goes something a bit like this, detailing the layout nicely:


There are 3 sectors; there’s the fashionable upscale Via Rosso, which would be an echoing ghost town only populated by CopBots without newcomers going to its low-level sewers. The middle class Plaza where you will find most specialist players, like constructors, researchers, implanters and the occasional poor sap who put all his experience into Repair, all hanging around the futuristic storage cabinets called GoGuardians. The third sector is the red light district, Pepper Park. This area houses plenty of strippers and prostitutes, higher level sewers with mutants and a huge population of player killers taking advantage of the more lenient gun laws and the minimal law enforcement coverage. This mega city of the 28th century might not cover a wide area but it stretches into the sky and it does have a huge sewer system spreading out below the city streets which puts a lot of other MMORPG’s cave systems to shame. When thousands of players begin flooding the streets the city will most certainly become very nice and crowded, it will be a place to call home. The city also spreads into industrial zones and abandoned city zones called the Outzone but you will soon long for the vast open plains; and just for your amusement Neocron city is surrounded by a Wasteland filled with more bad guys than you can shake a plasma charged stick at.
