Choosing your Faction

Choosing your faction is as simply as clicking the Faction you want to join; or is it...?

Factions can be very political in Neocron, you can play the game as you see fit, you may shoot anybody you see that is not "Law Enforced" (They have removed there LE chip). This is one of the best features of Neocron, they give you the choice whether to abide by the law, or screw the law and pay the prices.

In Neocron there are 2 main sides. Anti City and Pro City.

Anti-City (short for Anti-City Admin) refers to those factions aligned against CityAdmin, the ruling power in Neocron. At one point these factions all clustered together in the Dome of York, however they have receneltey snuck back into the city, or in the case of the Twilight Guardian, back to their canyon base.

Pro-City (short for Pro-City Admin) refers to the factions who are allied to CityAdmin, but not necessarily to each other. The city factions are almost all very powerful megacorporations - even the government faction, City Admin are often considered to run themselves like a business. They are all based within the Viarosso and Plaza districts of Neocron.

Changing your faction later on

To switch factions, you will need to talk to a Human Resources Director (Pro-City) or Recruitment Officer (Anti-City) of the faction you wish to join. You will need to make sure three things are ready when you do this:

1. You will need 300,000nc. This will be paid to the NPC you speak to.
2. Faction Sympathy with your new faction must be at 50 or higher.
3. You must be clanless when you attempt the switch, otherwise it will not work.

You can only raise Faction Sympathy by doing missions from the CityCom or the Special Missions if your Faction Sympathy is too low to accept very easy missions.

Once you talk to the NPC and pass these conditions, you will join that faction. Also you will not pay the 300,000nc straight away. The money is taken from your character when you buy or sell and item , or you re-log.
