Sindome, The Cyberpunk Roleplaying Game Set 85 Years In The Future.
www.sindome.org
Sindome is a MOO (MUD, Object Oriented), MUD stands for Multi User Dungeon. These are classic multiplayer text based games. Sindome is a highly popular Cyberpunk themed extremely serious roleplay based game set 85 years in the future that has been running since 1997 and to this day still averages about 50-100 players daily.
This is the closet thing to a "True" Cyberpunk roleplaying experience that things like 2077 couldn't live up too. However fair warning this requires a bit of dedication. The game runs in real time, is permadeath, and when you log out your character simply falls asleep in the world. (You cannot be killed while sleeping but you can be looted, and moved around.), and to truly get off your feet you need an approved history. (This doesn't need to be massive, just covers some basics like location of birth, education, how you get your skills, yada yada. But jobs will not hire any smuck off the street who claims to have a medical degree without being able to prove you got it.)
However you aren't just tossed onto the dangerous streets of Withmore City without any help, for your first couple weeks you are given a free sleeping pod to bunk up in for safety, There's a helpful OOC channel for OOC questions. (They do not provide IC information here, they are very strict about keeping IC stuff IC.) but for IC stuff there are also characters who have taken up jobs with the Immigration Comity to help those entering the city.
When you begin you go through the character creation process, selecting appearances, and going over stats and skills. (The 'help __') command is your best friend. Take time to consider what you want to start out as, look over what each stat does and consider if you want to spread yourself thin at the start or be specialized. But know that you'll be low on the food chain, as you play you'll get experience to continue to improve. Starting small, and working towards something big. Over months, to possibly years. Once done you'll be tossed outside the city gate with just a little over enough for the entry fee as you immigrate into your new home.
What you can do in game is very open ended, from medical doctors, to a Ripperdoc, fixers, Judge Dredd style Law enforcement, mechanics, driver, pilot, even things like tailoring custom clothes or creating custom furniture or electronics, cooking, bar tending. Or do jobs for players and create plotlines. Developing relationships, friends, enemies. The systems go deep. Like being able to fully describe every part of your body that will dynamically be displayed or covered by clothing, to fully being able to work on things like vehicles and their individual components to Cybernets. It goes on.
So to summarize if you're looking for a super in-depth RPG set in a Cyberpunk Universe this is the place, the curve may be a bit to get over and it requires a bit of dedication to make sure you stay safe but it is super worth it if you can get into it.
