For those interested, me and a small team have been developing an MMO game called 'Nanobyte Online'. It's similar to Uplink - if any of you have played that.
For more information and screenshots - www.bloodserver.co.uk
The game is still in development!

It will be a massive multiplayer online game, so you can only play it online. It will have a client you will need to download.
Here is some more info:
"You'll be a freelance agent that has their own machine, set in an epic plot where the world is based on computers and technology. So companies such as VivalCorp are funding a project, allowing companies who need a hacker to sort out their 'rivals' a common thing. You will have an online mission list that can be viewed from an ingame HTML site.
This list will have all the info you need, you can even talk to the employer (who will be AI controlled). Then you accept and you will recieve the email with the details in.
The game has its own free-realtime engine where people can build their own virtual websites and hacking teams. Where you can hack anything online, from the local police database to remove your criminal ratings - to hacking NSA and getting classified information on Area 51.
The game has unlimited expandablilty and will be fully measured for custom use.
Only thing is I'm the only man working on it, apart from the few who do sound and 3D graphics. Also I'll have a job on finding the money for a dedicated server. Although if it all goes well and I get a good community the game sould be a success, I'm willing to put the effort in."

This sounds too good to be true (haven't played yet). I'll try it tomorrow. I loved Uplink, that game was pretty much unique in it's genre. Too bad it was a pain to route your connection through every system available.

It's a hacking simulation and benchmarking simulation - trust me it has great interest.
Take Uplink for example, it was an extremely popular game world-wide. Got top ratings in magazines and on review sites, has had 5 million demo downloads.

Where is it? Navigating that forum is a bit of a challenge.
EDIT: Never mind, I wasn't looking hard enough.
One suggestion: Don't make the very first part of the intro look exactly like Uplink did. Change it up a little  Other than that it looks really cool.
