'''''Neocron''''' is commonly thought of as the one of world's first [[Cyberpunk]] [[MMORPG]] (massively multiplayer online role-playing game). It features action-oriented combat, similar to [[first-person shooter]]s in a 3D environment. |

==Character development== |
|||
The [[player character]] may be chosen from four distinct classes. Available are genetically engineered super soldiers, ("[[GenTank]]"), the slight, yet dextrous and intelligent "Spy", the psionically(magic) focused and physically underpowered "[[PSI Monk|Psi Monk]]" as well as the "[[PE Neocron|Private Eye]]", commonly referred to as a ''Jack of All Trades'' for its ability to use aspects of all the other classes. |
|||
== Character development == |
|||
Later the player may assign "skill points"(gained from experience) into specific abilities, e.g. Construction, Research, Droning, Rifles. Any character or class can use the most basic forms of these, but to master any one of them requires a large commitment in skill points. Jobs range from the notorious [[hacker]], who dives into the alternate reality of Hacknet, technicians who research or construct items and (especially) weapons, to the common grunt, who fights alongside his clan for the outposts, spread around the wastelands (Note that jobs are not physically imposed, they are a generalisation taken from how you have distributed your skill points in your attributes).. |

|||
==Game History== |
|||
The game takes place in a [[post-apocalyptic]] 28th century. In the mid 22nd century, tensions are rising between an expanded Chinese Empire, and a joint European/North American ''Federation of the Free World''. The unexplained destruction of the Chinese' first interstellar colony ship results in China launching devastating nuclear strike with stealth missiles. Before all major Federation cities cease to exist, the President gives the command to counter strike with Cold Fusion long distance missiles. |
|||
World War 3 started on February 17th 2143, it lasted less then 6 hours. |
|||
== Storyline == |
|||
It takes over three centuries for even the most rudimentary civilization to return. By the mid 26th century two great cities had risen from the ashes, thanks in large part to the "Ceres Project",which was initially an [[MIT]] project (it was later taken over by the military in response to the project leader being murdered) in the early 21st century, aimed at storing every aspect of human knowledge on holodisk. |

200 years later, and both cities are but shadows of their former selves, Neocron thanks to a succession of coups d'etat and a mass exodus to Irata III, a colony 80 light years away formed by the disappeared Chinese colony ship and Dome of York suffers from losing a devastating war with Neocron. |

==Patches, Content and Bugs== |
|||
{{unreferenced}} |
|||
Neocron 1 suffered from slow patches, lack of new content and game-destroying bugs. Neocron 2 still suffers from several of the same bugs (infinite sync screen, and fatal run-time error, to name but two) and many of its features promised for retail are still missing. Players have also seen the "Theme Week" feature fall by the wayside, a feature that was introduced in response to players' complaints over NC1's lack of bugfixes, balancing and content. |
|||
500 years later, both cities are now but shadows of their former selves: Neocron is diminished thanks to a succession of coups d'état as well as a mass exodus to Irata III, a colony 80 light years away formed by the missing Chinese colony ship, and Dome of York suffers from losing a devastating war with Neocron. |
|||
A balancing project is currently underway, although many players have already lost faith in the developers. The unique feature of this project is that the developers are looking for community input on these proposed changes. |

The emulation scene of Neocron is in its early stages, with slow development. There are at least three different Neocron emulators; NeoX and TinNS, which attempt to emulate Neocron 1, and Irata, which attempts to emulate Neocron 2. None of the emulators are fully functional yet. |

Neocron is a 2002 post-apocalyptic[1] cyberpunk[2] massively multiplayer online role playing game (MMORPG) developed by Reakktor Media GmbH (based in Hannover, Germany[3]) and published by cdv Software Entertainment. It is considered to be the first cyberpunk-genre MMORPG,[4] and is designed to integrate elements of first-person shooter games.[2] It has been called a MMO first-person shooter (MMOFPS),[5] but most consider it a hybrid of MMORPG and first-person shooter.[2][6] Although Neocron is often said to be the first MMOFPS, WWII Online, released in 2001, holds the Guinness World Record as the first MMOFPS.[7]
Its 2004 sequel, Neocron 2: Beyond Dome of York, was originally slated to be an expansion pack[8] and released separately under a new publisher, 10tacle Studios AG.[9] Following a brief transitional period where Neocron players were encouraged to transfer their characters to Neocron 2, the Neocron servers were closed while the Neocron 2 servers continue to run to this day.[10]
Character development
[edit]The player character may be chosen from four distinct classes. Available are genetically engineered super soldiers, ("GenTank"), the slight, yet dexterous and intelligent "Spy", the psionically focused and physically underpowered "Psi Monk" as well as the "Private Eye" (PE), commonly referred to as a Jack of All Trades for its ability to use aspects of all the other classes.
Later the player may assign "skill points" (gained from experience) into specific abilities, e.g. Construction, Research, Droning and Rifles. Any character or class can use the most basic forms of these, but to master any one of them requires a large commitment in skill points. Jobs range from the notorious hacker, who dives into the alternate reality of Hacknet, technicians who research or construct items and (especially) weapons, to the common grunt, who fights alongside his clan for the outposts, spread around the wastelands. Jobs are not physically imposed: they are a generalization taken from how skill points are distributed to attributes.
Storyline
[edit]The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic 28th century. In the mid-22nd century, tensions rose between an expanded Chinese Empire and a joint European/North American Federation of the Free World. The unexplained apparent destruction of the first Chinese interstellar colony ship resulted in China launching devastating nuclear strikes with stealth missiles. In retaliation, the American president gave the command to counter strike with cold fusion long-range missiles. World War III started on February 17, 2143; it lasted less than 6 hours.
It took over three centuries for even the most rudimentary civilization to return. By the mid-26th century two great cities had risen from the ashes, thanks in large part to the "Ceres Project". Originally an MIT project in the early 21st century aimed at storing every aspect of human knowledge on holodisk, it had been taken over by the American military in response to the murder of the project leader.
500 years later, both cities are now but shadows of their former selves: Neocron is diminished thanks to a succession of coups d'état as well as a mass exodus to Irata III, a colony 80 light years away formed by the missing Chinese colony ship, and Dome of York suffers from losing a devastating war with Neocron.
