Welcome to Night City. This is the short version of everything a new citizen needs in their first hour.
Get in
- Install the OPEN//77 launcher from open2077.net and find NightCore RP in the server list.
- If the city is whitelisted, apply on this website first. You can only enter once staff approve you.
- When you arrive, register at the NCID desk: your name, date of birth and origin. That is your character for good, so think it through.
Your first steps
- F1 opens the city guide any time: places, controls and these first steps.
- You start with 500 €$ and a starter kit: holophone, 2 × bottle of water and burrito.
- Walk to the Employment Agency on Kabuki Gallery, upstairs at the north end of Kabuki Market, and pick a civilian job. F9 clocks you in.
- Wages are paid every 10 minutes of active work, straight into your bank account. Without a job the city pays a small welfare of 40 €$.
- Hunger and thirst drain over time (F10). Noodle Row in Kabuki Market sells water and food.

Things that surprise new players
- Nobody's name floats above their head. You learn names by asking. See the rules on names.
- Police, medics and mechanics are real players. If nobody is on shift, nobody comes.
- Time runs at 2 city hours per real hour. Night falls every 12 real hours.
- What is in your pockets can be taken. Keep your money in the bank.
