h a c k m u d is a sort of mmo about hacking. It's almost completely text based, with some flair to make you feel extra hackery.
Out of all the hacking games I've played, this one feels the most real.
You can access other peoples or npc accounts and take all their money, but most are protected by locks, which act like little puzzles you have to beat.
You can create scripts to brute force a lot of things, or you can use other peoples scripts, either for sale or made by friends.
The scripts are in java, and you don't need to know any java to be useful or have fun in this game.
Scripts aren't just for breaking locks though, people have made "websites", faq's and wiki's, all sorts of stuff.
And of course, a lot of scripts are also malicious. If you enter the wrong script, you could lose all your money, for example.
Thankfully there are ways to check if a script is dangerous or not, but you'll have to be vigilant all on your own.

So aside from finding npc accounts in a mess of data for money, there is a big pvp aspect to this game.
And it mostly boils down to finding peoples loc's, which is basically their IP adress, or making people run your dirty scripts.
To do pretty much anything on an effective level you'll need the help of other people, mostly because you need users, and each player only gets 2.
The game helps you with this since you can make a corp, which is basically a clan or a guild.
With corps you can set up users to be something other than just the account you play on.
You could turn them into banks, or decoys, money laundering, traps, whatever.
It's all very interesting, and you really don't need to know any scripting to be part of something.
In a way this game reminds me a lot of EVE, but with a lot less downtime.
I'd love to have a bunch of people come together to make some big project of helping/****ing people over.
But I guess we'll see where it goes.
If you want a better idea of what the game is like, this article is pretty good:

If people show any interest I might make a few helpful posts with info.
