17 Nov - 14:37 GMT - Since Sunday 16th November at about 19:20GMT, the NC servers appeared to be unreachable. Nidhogg posted a quick update saying there appeared to be a Network issue of some sort, however nearly 20 hours later, the latest news is from Snowcrash at 11:17GMT saying there is no ETA for a fix.

Any more news we hear, it will be posted here. In the mean time, you can chat about the servers being down here on the THN or on the official forums.

Update: 16:20 - By Delphi - Lastest news was an update from Snowcrash that the server will be up in the next couple of hours, posted  at 15:26GMT.

Update 23:36 - By Brammers - Not so good news. The launcher page is back, but you can't connect. And here is the last statement from Snowcrash, which was released earlier.

"In contrary to the previous statement that the launcher and the account management will be available again within the next hours, we are experiencing ongoing technical issues with the affected server hardware.

Therefore we are currently not able to give an estimate when the launcher and the account management will be avaible again."

18 Nov 10:40 GMT - By Brammers - Are we nearly there yet...Another update from Snowcrash

"Most of the issues have been resolved but we are still encountering a problem with the login server. Our tech department is still working on it and I am not able to give you an ETA yet."

18 Nov 17:10 GMT - By StevenJ - People are once again logging into Neocron, however some people are reporting that their account information is not found.

Snowcrash just posted this little post to clarify the current payment provider issues.

"In course of the issues we are encountering due to the insolvency, we have explained that all Neocron 2 accounts have been enabled for free play. This explanation has obviously led to some confusion which we would like to clarify.

Currently it is not possible to renew or create accounts by using PayPal as payment provider. This is related to issues at Paypal that are beyond our sphere of influence. To compensate this, we have decided to put game points on all accounts to allow players, who are using PayPal, to continue playing until the issues have been fixed. All other accounts using PaybyCash and Click2Pay are being billed as normal with 5 Euro per month subscription fee.

Under the current circumstances we see no other option to address these issues as we do not want to lock out players using PayPal as payment method. In order to compensate our customers who are using different payment methods but still pay for some of their accounts, we have enabled the previous mentioned game points to reactivate all expired accounts. This means that you can access any of your additional accounts that are currently expired regardless what kind of payment method you use without getting charged until further notice. Accounts that are in the regular payment cycle are getting billed as usual.

As we have already explained, Reakktor will continue its business but there are still issues to address which make things a bit more complicating. We can only ask you for your understanding and would like to thank those who are standing loyally at our side during this difficult times."

Feel free to discuss this in this official forum thread.
