Opinions on Cyberpunk as a roleplaying genre

[cns - he/him/his]

My favorite part atleast with gunsmoke3 was the stories I manage to told and i'll also remember 2

First was legit my first time on the server I decided to play as disgusting alien lizards with some friends and we went around getting abused like dirty aliens for a bit until a big elder of our race stopped us and gave us a big talking to about revolution and then proceeded to hand us shitty weapons to go start some big crime so we decided to rob a nightclub and we did but got shit out of it and got the fuzz on us. We ran to an apartment building and had a shoot-out with the police managing to gun a few down before getting ripped to shit by a police drone.

Story two is about a character I had who was an asian hitman duo, ying and yang. A corporation was hiring out mercs for a job and me and my partner got on it and managed to loan out some killer equipment, queue getting onto a ship and server-hopping to an event server on ineu_valley. We then got on sick hover bikes and drove to our location where (the big bunker) where we fought off some npc ghouls, had some roleplay fighting with a few robots and players and then found our target and dipped and got paid

I just remember that shit cause it was fun and shit.

How did it died? Actually, how they all died? What happend to them?

I, for some reason, suspect he's talking about Fractured Ethos.
If so, then greed really.

Went the route of lp

I used to play as a part of a community called Fractured Ethos, then had a tenure on another server called "Pearl of the Orient, Kowloon".

The same thing pretty much applies to all these servers. Without a consistently high playercount, the server is dull and boring. Employers have to be constantly active, and jobs need constantly high playercounts in order for them to look active. The maps need to have a "wow" factor, and they need to be big, but not too big that even with 30 people online, it feels empty. Fractured Ethos used a huge map that worked really well when they had a high player count, but when they dropped a bit through various reasons, some people left because in a community map where you got like 5 businesses per profession (Security, bar, drugs etc...) all doing similar stuff, it's hard for it to be worthwhile when you only got like 15 people online daily who want to buy from one of those 5 businesses.

Cyberpunk has been a genre that's intrigued me for several years. While I have never played any Cyberpunk games, I have seen several Cyberpunk esqe movies and have read a number of books/comics on the genre (fuck anime). I'm curious on everyone's opinions on Cyberpunk not in an action sense, but a roleplay sense. Have any of you played a Cyberpunk roleplay schema, or have you aspired to play one? Let me know, I'm genuinely curious.

everytime i've been on one
its turned into a big circlejerk between people who only rp with steam friends
admins making new characters every hour, giving themselves all the business licenses and guns and shit
cringe rp and cliche characters
and ofc erp and drama

Browsing this discussion I got curious and tried to find that Cyberpunk server I connected to a couple of months ago, turns out the reason it was always empty was because it's an americanos serves that only fills up (and for fills up I mean 15/60 players max) in the dead of the night from where I live. Anyway I made another character and gone around to see what was all about, I decided to go for a generic junkie but I got convinced into opening a cyberware shop by some random guy I found on the street (who was some kind of mod I think). There I discovered that everyone has free access to PAC3 on server so I slapped some combine props on my character and turned into some sort of bootleg cyberpunk, then I go around and speak (well more than speak eavesdrop because I have no social skills irl and ingame) to other characters. I ended up in some kind of pub with a noir detective looking for some missing dude (I later discovered on their forums he died) and a couple of bartenders. After afking in there for a while and realizing I talked with everybody on the server by then (there were 5 people) I decided to ask OOC how to open up a shop (the guy told me I had to do it ICly, but nobody really explained me how) and I was told I had to do it during "rations", I checked their forums and well, turns out the entire thing is basically HL2RP but without the CPs: people are given rations with money, they can't leave the city (which apparently is the last one on Earth as far as the lore goes), the entire thing is run by some organization named "The conglomerate" and probably there were webuls outside I couldn't find because there weren't enough people on, the forums had barely any lore at all.
At that point I was getting bored and tired of waiting 15 minutes for the gmod to load the fuckton of addons the server required so I just quit it for good. Not sure if the server was good or bad or it was just me, in any case if you are curious just scroll down in the gamemode browser until you see "Cyberpunk" and that's pretty much it.

Cyberpunk is dope for RP.

I dunno about in Gmod, because I've never played it in gmod, but Sindome is fucking dope (It's this.. text-based MUD but it's seriousRP) and it's super cyberpunk. Would recommend.

 

[Jaf]

I'll give TnB's Cyberpunk server a try if Dave ever gets around to finishing it.

 

[Freelok]

Thanks for the feedback. I'm putting it to use.

[cns - he/him/his]

they seemed to be the minority when I played it honestly, my biggest gripe was the head staff and their retarded protag characters but apart from that it was a fairly epic server

 

[cns - he/him/his]

yeah some staff were alright the rest had dogbrain and i dont even know what happened after i got banned

staff didn't really have the motivation to continue doing it so it kinda slowly died out I guess

:grinning:

I've written up my own lore, I wouldn't steal it from you hot stuff. It's interesting though, so good work.

They have some really wonky animations.

The guy holding the bat looks retarded.
