Thinking of getting Neocron

I was wondering how active the server is, how many american players play, how many RPers, etc.

NC Server Terra

I don't think there is a way to tell how many of the runners are american.

The main language is however english
For example we have 72 runners in clan and server % is at the average 11 % atm
High playtime is usually in the evenings after 19:00 EST (Florida time)

Hope that helps you :)

72 runners

max ever 8-9 online at once

Some of those 72 never ever login, same with all clans

Just the fact of life, they log in for free time, or when they get chance from work etc.

I dont think 8 or 9 runners online total would bring server to 11%

you mis read

i meant in clan DoY only

Most of the time, there will be 3-4 inclan online etc, if there doing something as a group 8-9

this isnt just DoY, was just an example.

and no, 11% is around 80-90 players

To clarify what was said by Pantho (he should know better) 8-9 people within that clan are online at once. On topic to the OP why dont you try the game and see if you like it, its a fairly small download compared to some of the MMO's out there, and then theres the 10 day free trial.

RP players dont normally let themselves be known particularly, however they are there but you will have to find them to join in. As for american players, there is a large american player base, but again specific numbers aren't known.

All I suggest is download and try, make sure to chat on the HELP channel once your ingame, and ask here for help and advice.

Some good resource sites to help you on your way:
* THN
* English NC Wiki
* Official Neocron Forums

^^ Mean, speak clearly? Would be pointless :p

Another good idea is to grab a Neocron Box Set for £2-3 inc delivery, $5 or something.

Then you get 30days to test the water, and if you keep playing its cheaping

I let myself be known as an RP and get much stick for it, but I've seen a lot of RP recently, mostly because on my main character all I do is RP, or fight for symp/sl at p2 zone line lol.

RP is out there if you want to find it you can.

As for population I heard there was 17% the other night, or something close to it, very impressive I was once told that 1% = 10 runners so 17% = 170 runners in theory. with a MAX of 1000 runners online.

And Pantho, how do you know Ressi was talking about DOY? I know she's in other clans too, could be one of them, though it would have to be another server imo. No clan on Terra has ever had 72 runners online at once. I think I've seen a clan get around 30 or so online at once though, and i've been to some major op fights with around 70 people there. Was great fun except at the time I had 2 FPS due to my computer lol

I roleplay 100% on my main, when people relaise they tend to play along, makes a break from the ub3r l33t language which can get so boring so quick.

Just Mute OOC channel an it's all good, although the crap on there makes me chuckle.

Thats not to say i don't step OOC for some channels, such as Help :p
