Hey guys,
I used to be a Neocron gamer, (101st then Phoenix Mercs for those who care) and i'm really intrugued by ER... However how the hell are they charging $49.99 OR €49.99 - what sort of exchange rate is that! lol... i know you can get the boxed version for £27 from a reputable retailer.
Anyways has anyone currently got an account i can try it on... I'd really appreciate it as ive just lost my job so cant afford to shell out for (another) game i wont be playing 
I also understand the pain that the lag is causing will hinder gameplay, however, i feel i'll be able to see through that as i lived with Neocrons poor performance for 2 years! hehe
For those that will contemplate it please drop me a message on here - i'm from UK and will give any contact details you need if you fear i'll "steal" it. I'm 23 btw, not 13! lol
Many thanks to those that read.

never mind,
me being the impatient cunt i am i bought it lol fingers crossed it's ok!
Lol.
You fool.
And i even hovered over this thread to tell you 'wait', but i figured you were going to any who. Look, i am a fan of ER, and my advice is wait another month or two. ER is a great game, but it has its fair share of issues. Performance has improved since release, but it just needs that extra month or two before i would personally recommend it to anyone else. The next client patch is due for March 11th, im sure ill be here to let peeps know how it goes.
TBH the lag for the past week has been fantastic. The client still runs like garbage but I haven't been experiencing any issues with lag, desyncs, or the DMZ bug for quite some time now.
Still wouldn't recommend the game but the progress they've made on server stability and lag is kind of amazing.
Its been great for the last week because no one is playing any more.
Pretty much the same as the others, despite being a fan of this game You should have held off for a month or two before taking the plunge. Due to performance issues and a lack of content I just couldn't recommend ER right now.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience"

Stop impulse buying people, read through the official forums please. It might sound tedious but remember there are no refunds.
I am afraid that this game will most likely end up like MO. Even games of much bigger developers like: Age of Conan or Warhammer have never risen up again after the launch failers.
