IN NEOCRON IT’S 700 YEARS IN THE FUTURE (BUT YOU CAN STILL PAY BY CASH)
REAKKTOR.COM and PayByCash™ Announce Agreement To Make Neocron Accessible To Non-Credit-Card Customers Worldwide.
Charlottesville, VA – November 25, 2002 - PayByCash (Internet Payment Solutions, Inc.), the leader in enabling Internet merchants to easily and affordably accept non-credit card payments, announced an agreement today with REAKKTOR.COM, developer of “Neocron,” the most eagerly anticipated massively multiplayer online game launched this year. The agreement gives Neocron players the option of paying their subscriptions without a credit card, increasing Neocron’s accessibility to players around the world.
The subscription payments approach, allowing players to pay the way they want, is just one of Neocron’s many online gaming innovations oriented at enabling players to play roles based on their own interests. Neocron is the first MMRPG (Massively Multiplayer Role-Playing Game) set against a Cyberpunk background. It’s ground-breaking as a true first-person MMRPG, combining role-playing immersion with the action that makes first-person shooters so fun. Combat in Neocron is based on character abilities and player competence. As such, it’s exciting stuff!
But unlike most first-person shooters, there’s real depth to Neocron. In its Cyberpunk world, there’s much more to do than just kill stuff, get loot. Players can involve themselves in inter-faction intrigue and make money by running missions or exploring wastelands. Even non-violent trade skills like item crafting, stock broking, being a driver, preacher, or medic can be lucrative. Hacking even has its place and requires real player problem-solving skills! Neocron’s detailed back-story and evolving plot, presented within REAKKTOR’S beautiful “TEKKTONIC” graphics engine, pulls the player into one of the few online games with a storyline that matters.
Offering four main character classes and 27 sub-classes for specialization, opportunities for cybernetic implants, beneficial (legal!) performance-enhancing drugs, and a realistic stats and skills-based character development system, your avatar in Neocron is unique. It becomes who you want it to. You even get your own apartment, with the ability to upgrade into bigger and better digs as you progress.
Neocron is online and the boxed game is available at major consumer electronics stores nationwide.
Martin Schwiezer, CEO of REAKKTOR.COM says, “Having PayByCash as a reliable and highly competent partner for alternative payment methods allows us to offer Neocron to a much wider audience than would be possible with credit card payment alone. PayByCash’s list of payment options accepted world wide is truly impressive.”
"PayByCash is thrilled to be able to provide its many payment options to Neocron players,” affirms Debbie Higgins, President & CEO of Internet Payment Solutions, Inc. “Our system’s flexibility and easy implementation, combined with our dedication to customer care made us easy for REAKKTOR.COM to adopt. Our unmatched number of payment options ensures that customers in almost any country can pay for Neocron conveniently, in many cases directly from their bank account.”
