PVP in EVE compared to other games: Neocron Evolution 2.2

Ander·
I've decided to take a little break from EVE. Going to try get a bit of perspective on how great EVE PVP is compared to other games. I'll be sticking to SCI-FI but will try a wide array of games. First game out is Neocron Evolution 2.2. I heard that it had recently had a few content updates which was supposed to fix large areas of gameplay. Neocron players havent been as lucky as us EVE players. A recent review I read somewhere stated that in the past they suffered from lots of bugs, boring gameplay and lack of content updates. Faults and problems which this latest update should remedy. A fresh start for players who havent been as loved by their devs as us EVE players has been by CCP. Personally I love SCI-FI MMO's as much as fantasy MMO's. I've played everything from Ultima Online to Anarchy Online. Except EverQuest which I loath.. it was just so horribly painfully boring the first times I tried it. I wanted to try Neocron in the past but those kind of reviews I read put me off. Luckily this new major update gives me a new reason try Neocron Evolution 2.2 which also offers an ideal 14 day trial. PVP is supposed to be open ended. No point and click, but more like an Anarchy Online game with Planetside PVP. The game makers promise "Neocron Evol 2.2 offers a unique first-person real-time combat. Fast and exciting action with a vast selection of high-tech weapons and vehicles instead of boring click & wait combat.". Infact lots of aspects in the game is a lot like a mix of EVE Online, Anarchy Online and Planetside. Implants (EVE,AO), character attributes(EVE,AO), boosters(EVE AO), tradeskills (AO, EVE?).. list goes on. We shall see if the game lives up to my expectations. Hopefully I wont be forced to do boring courier missions or be killed over and over by some NPC overpowered infected rat for the first noob levels. --- So there I am... in a future world. Excited about the "green" skies and greenish texture indicating your usual dystopian future. A game set in a future earth ruined by war and the usual problems brought about with radiation... You know, mutants and such. Mmmm... muuutants... Now where do I go to find some action? .. To be updated...

Don't you mean 10-day trial?

Otherwise, tell us where you got the 14-day one :)

Ah. I was certain it was 14 days. Might've been the one which I got through a google ad but I'm not sure.

I'll find out for sure if it's 10 days, I just asume all trials are 14 days when I play MMO's .
