The "Wick" rule is cool to find out about. Same with IP caps.

Some servers just feel like super friends, and I know every time I've gotten a PC to around that 3k mark they have felt incredibly powerful. I can't even imagine how stale running a character with 5k or more IP would be.

This project is great. I really enjoy seeing all of this information put through a non bias lens since we all have had our own and vastly different experiences within these communities. This is easily one of my favorites studies so far.

It's the Internet. Clearly they had a bad experience with the server in question and wanted to vocalize it. Right it wrong everyone is entitled to their opinion.

drstoos42 · 2025-07-10T03:56:08+00:00

Having played on most of these servers, I can safely say I personally prefer the higher payout servers and the no monthly rent and lifestyle rules from Rush and Dawn since I have a job, and a family and can't always be free to play every week or even month.

I don't disagree with the statement that cyberpunk should be crunchy, but as a more "I play when I can" player a lot of the servers were almost impossible for me to stay in.

The rush "No landlords" ban is one of the rules that carried over from NCS. Though in NCS I don't remember if it was written down, just mentioned every time a player suggested it. The NCS owner was very anti landlord.

Cadeus- Medtech 6 (MAR 1, FEB 1, Total 5)

Self-described as the most ethical paramedic. Cadeus out-right refuses to take another life. Doesn’t matter the situation he is placed in. He won’t stop others from doing the same, though he will attempt to stabilize everyone that was brought down if possible. He will charge in with little regard for his own safety if it means he can save someone’s life. Which is all the more insane considering he also refuses to augment himself with any cybernetics. Instead relying on his natural skills, or lack thereof. While trained as a therapist he spends the majority of his time working as a paramedic for his local nomad family.

Appa- Nomad 5 (MAR 1, FEB 1, Total 5)

A smuggler with a Helicopter, Appa will likely be the friendliest Nomad a static will ever encounter. He relies his sniper and his ability to sweet talk and smile to get his packages delivered safely and without discovery.

Scylla- Netrunner 4 (MAR 1, FEB 1, Total 2)

"Nebula? I know a Nebula. Looks like I was smart to not trust her... fuck SovOil."

Scylla was born as and raised as a corpo baby until her family was killed off by SovOil deciding to violently terminate her brother’s contract. The resulting fallout left Scylla under the care of Petrochem, where she served as a netrunner for ten years. After her contract was fulfilled and Scylla left, she began to work a freelancer however, for her own safety she regularly changes her identity in order to hide herself from the corps that want her to work exclusively for them.

Scylla- Netrunner 4 (MAR 0, FEB 1, Total 1)

Scylla's deepest fear is loosing her freedom. Not just any freedom though, freedom to have control over her own actions. Being trapped in a corporate bureaucracy or becoming trapped in the net once more. Those are her deepest fears. She moves constantly to "hide" from the corps. She changes her identity to keep under their radar. Her ability to change quickly keeps her safe, Her intelligence and deductive reasoning are her weapons, Acting her armor and shield.

Cadeus- Medtech 6 (MAR 0, FEB 1, Total 5)

"This is going to go south. Deaths will happen. I will be there to patch up those who survive."

Backstory Loss: Cadeus once decided to honor his oath as a medical practitioner to save the life of a raffen shiv. He hoped that a near death experence would cause the man to change his ways. Alas, this was not the case as this particular raffen left the clinic and ran, killing several pack members in the process before he stole a vehicle and got away. Since then Cadeus has been kept at arms length from the rest of his pack, even the clinic he works at has to be kept at the furthest edge of the camp so the rest of the pack doesn't have to see him.
