As part of the Official Fansite project we at the Tech Haven Network have been able to steal Neocron?s favorite killer bunneh Christian ?SnowCrash? Schuett for a few moments and interrogate him for some valued information.

We?ve taken a different approach to this than the other websites. We?ve decided to aim our questions at getting some much needed information for the longer standing or ?veteran? player base of Neocron 2.

THN: When do you plan to release Neocron Evolution 2.2? Have you set a date, or will it be a case of releasing it, when everyone is happy with it.

SnowCrash: We have no exact release date yet but plan to release it at the end of this year. The balancing project needs very intensive testing as many parts of the core combat system have been adjusted or even completely reworked. It is not like that we have just changed some parameters or pushed a button here and there. The whole project is taken very seriously and so we do not want to just rush it but provide our players with a high quality product.

THN: Recently Holger has said it is likely that the next big thing for Neocron, We?ll call it ?Evol 2.3? for now, will be another graphical update, what area will this focus on? Perhaps the eagerly awaited Character and Vehicle remodelling/skinning?

SnowCrash: As Holger said that the next possible step probably will be another graphical update of the game including new content. This is not nailed down yet as we are focussing our efforts completely on finishing Evol 2.2. Of course we are listening closely to the feedback from the community, which means that the concerns of our community will definitely influence the decision making of what comes next after Evol 2.2.

THN: Accessories were one of the main features the community was looking forward to in Neocron 2 Has there been and will there be in the future, any more developments on this feature?

SnowCrash: The accessory feature was planned to be implemented with Neocron 2 but has not been realised due to the high development effort and due to time reasons. We had to finish Neocron 2 and so other, more important, features received a higher priority. At the current time there are no concrete plans to implement this feature.

THN: War Games Inn in Dome of York 7 was one of the locations we saw in a Sneak Peek of Neocron 2 before its release, what is the current status with War Games and is it even still in development?

SnowCrash: Like the accessory feature, the War Games Inn had to be cut due to time reasons. There are no current plans to implement it in the near future.

THN: Wisdom of Ceres has had many different opinions about it since its introduction to the game, the main one being that there are too few WoC weapons. When can we expect to see more WoC weapons and quests in the game?

SnowCrash: In course of the balancing project some new WoC weapons will find their way into the game but I cannot give you any details yet. The Test server will give the players the opportunity to have a first look at what will be implemented with Evol 2.
