Latest Neocron News and Information

The THN admin is having a little discussion on the content patch and our resources, and one thing that has been pointed out is a lot of guides will need updating for the content patch, since everyone in the Dome will be moving out.

Now it's been suggested that the Faction epic guides are moved from the THN to the NC-Wiki, to allow the community to contribute more freely to the guides. This does lead us to a bigger question, what else could we move to the Wiki?

This is when I like to ask you for your comments.

1. What do you think of the idea in general?
2. What guides and resources do you think should stay on the THN?
3. What guides and resources do you think should move to the NC-Wiki?
4. And anything else you would like to say on the subject.

I would like to invite everyone to post their comments in these threads on the Official forums and the THN forums.

There is an interesting and very worthwhile Chairty called Childs Play Charity which was started by Penny Arcade a few days to give children who are ill in hospital a little extra to raise their spirits.

With the help of hospital staff, they have set up gift wish lists full of video games, toys, and movies. You can go to each hospital's list and buy a toy, and that toy will be sent to the hospital. Some of the stuff the hospital will give away for kids to keep, while other gifts (like consoles) will be kept by the hospital for patients to use throughout the year.

Like many other people, Neocron is supporting the Childs Play Charity innitative, and the Tech Haven Network would also like give it's support and ask it's visitors to support the chairty either by donating to the Charity, or by sticking a banner to the Child Play Charity on your website, blog or signature to raise attention to the Childs Play Chairty.

This weekend (6/7th October) there will be some extensive server maintenance. There will be occasional periods of downtime while various pieces of software are updated and there will probably be a couple of reboots along the way.

Also the IP of the THN will change slightly. Depending on your ISP the new DNS records may take a short while to update.

The THN web server will be undergoing a scheduled extended downtime from Tuesday 4th September 22:00 GMT to the next day of 7:00GMT.

This downtime also effects http://www.nc-wiki.com and http://www.prophecy-network.com as they are hosted on the same server. 

The reason  is to allow the server to be to moved to it's new home at it's new co-lo hosting centre.

The THN forums and Rares DB will be taken offline about 1 hour before the downtime and backed up. 

I apologise for the inconvenience caused.
