I remember how I got this game:
I played the demo, yes! An offline sp demo for a MMO!
With its own short contained story!
I liked it and played multiple times through it.
But paying monthly for a game? That wasnt really possible for me back then.
a couple of months later, I visited a firend. And he handed me over a sealed copy of the game.
He got it on his birthday and, surprised, didn't liked the idea of paying monthly for a game.
(little side joke: a short time later he started with wow^^).
So I've got my copy, took it home and read through the manual.
The massive lore-drop section of it impressed me. It wa sso intriguing to read through the history of the world, starting in the 2000s and going up the the 2800s.
So I imagined running around that city.
And then I took advantage of the "free trial month" or what it was.
It was really fun!
It transported the idea of a pen&paper game to the screen.
And many players were friendly and helping beginners.
There was that one guy, I teamed up with regulary, who was named after the game company "Psygnosis". We supported each other.
Another guy was just sitting in a bar in game and had even a beer in front of him on the table.
I questioned him why he is sitting here: He was resetting some skill points (which took time, because of a cooldown). So I just took a seat and had alittle chat with him (because I didnt knew what he was doing at all).
When the Neocron 2 was on the horizon, there was a "Farewell Party" ingame.
Many players gifted away stuff they didnt needed anymore (because the amount of items to carry over was limited).
There was a lot of going on and I stil miss it time by time : )
It even had a navigation Ray, comparable to the one of Dead Space!
Well ahead of its time!

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox
