Ok, I played this game when it first launched and absolutely hated it. I decided to give it another go last month, and I still hate it just as much as ever. First off .. it is a ghost town. There is absolutely no one playing this game it feels like. Second the graphics are unbearibly poor. They try to make the city look rough and cold, but they go overboard in that the whole world looks like crap. Even outside the city. I'm sorry, but I choose not to spend my time in hell. I will give the sounds a good score because it is very different then the normal music you hear everywere else. The learning curve is insanely and needlessly hard. Supposedly there is an expansion to fix all this in the near future, but I refuse to play a game just because someone is telling me that the expansion is going to rock. They said SWG was going to rock so I bought the collector's edition for 80 bucks ... not gonna fall for that again I tell ya! Anyway, lag isn't an issue but that is mostly because there is only you and three other guys on at peek time. Ok, bottom line is that this game is old and not nearly to the standards of many other games out there right now. It should have had at least three expansions by now, but the one that neocron citizens have been waiting for has been done but sopposedly held up in marketing for 6 months. It doesn't look like good news.
