Black Prophecy is one of the new breed of space-based science fiction MMOs on the horizon that will be a noticeable departure from the type of gameplay that EVE Online offers. Specifically, Black Prophecy is by design a more casual game. This is not to say that Black Prophecy won't have high-level or 'endgame' content, but it will be a faster progression to endgame, according to Reakktor Media CEO Kirk Lenke.
Kirk was interviewed by GameSNAFU's Sylvester Rozylo and the questions turned to PvP and Black Prophecy's endgame. Kirk said, "Black Prophecy is designed to allow players to achieve major goals in character development without investing excessive amounts of time. So basically it will be possible to reach the endgame content within a few weeks, but you shouldn't be afraid that the fun will run out once you reach the endgame." Kirk added that Reakktor "will pay very close attention to creating a lasting experience that's as attractive as possible wherein the focus will be on intense PvP action for solo, team and clan players."
Kirk has plenty more to say on PvP in Black Prophecy, which you can find in his interview at GameSNAFU.

I disagree. Shooters actually give you what MMOs only can give you small dozes of (or none, depending on the MMO) : instant action. That's why they are so popular.

Yes, tell that to all the people still playing CounterStrike, Call of Duty 4 and all those types of games. :roll eyes:

There end game better be pretty robust and unique to not get boring quickly. But at least this allows the company to really only focus on end game content with a few bits of "leveling up" content here and there for some change.

Yay! Guild Wars in space! (minus the instancing gameplay)
Fast leveling, challenging but optional grinding content, and a massive PvP content at the end?
If there are loads of ship customization options or stuff to collect after endgame, and making your ship stand out and look cool in pvp then sign me up for this game!
I like leveling but fast pased MMO action is also a pretty nice change of pace.

Is this the same company that made Neocron?

Not likely. Unless they're the same company operating under different names, which I doubt.

Yes it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Neocron_-_Box_Front.jpg
