<p>★ City 17 RP — Text-Based Half-Life 2 Roleplay ★<br>"Welcome. Welcome to City 17. You have chosen, or been chosen, to relocate to one of our finest remaining urban centers."<br>City 17 RP is a persistent, multiplayer text-based roleplay game built right into the forum. Inspired by Garry's Mod Clockwork HL2RP, it drops you into the world of Half-Life 2 — a city under Combine occupation where citizens scrape by, Civil Protection enforces order, and the Resistance fights in the shadows.<br>Everything happens in real time. Other players see what you do. Your character, inventory, tokens, and progress all persist between sessions.<br>► Enter City 17 (or click # city-17-rp in the sidebar under ROLEPLAY)<br>
<br>Getting Started<br>When you first visit, you'll be asked to create a character. Pick a name and write a short physical description — this is what other players see when they /look at you. Everyone starts as a Citizen at the Train Station with 100 HP, 100 Hunger, and 0 tokens.<br>You only get one character per account, so choose your name wisely.<br>Not ready to commit? Guests can spectate the Train Station without logging in.<br>
<br>The World<br>The game spans 55 rooms across three regions:<br>- <br>
- City 17 — The main hub. Train Station, Plaza, Apartments, Canals, Industrial Sector, Sewers, and more. Includes the Combine Nexus (CP territory) and hidden Resistance safehouses.<br>
- Ravenholm — A zombie-infested nightmare accessible through a hidden tunnel. Father Grigori's Church is the only safe zone. Dangerous but rewarding.<br>
- Highway 17 — The coastal road outside the city. Antlions roam the sands, Combine soldiers patrol the bridge. A thumper device keeps the bugs at bay... as long as someone keeps it running.<br>
<br>Use /map at any time to see an ASCII map of discovered areas. Unexplored rooms show as [???] until you find the exits yourself.<br>
<br>Basic Commands<br>Moving Around<br>Use the direction buttons below the command input, or type directions directly:<br>/go north — Move to another room (or just: n, s, e, w, u, d)<br>/look — See the current room, exits, items, and who's here<br>/exits — List available exits (also shown in direction bar)<br>/map — ASCII map of discovered areas<br>Some exits are hidden — explore thoroughly! Hidden passages, grates, and tunnels connect areas you might not expect.<br>Talking<br>/say Hello! — Say something to everyone in the room (shortcut: "Hello!)<br>/yell HELP! — Shout — heard in adjacent rooms too<br>/whisper Bob Hi — Private message to someone in your room<br>/me smiles — Emote — displays as * YourName smiles *<br>/it rains — Narrate the environment<br>/ooc — Out-of-character chat (global)<br>/looc — Local OOC (room only)<br>/roll — Roll 1-100 (for RP decisions)<br>Your Character<br>/stats — View your HP, hunger, faction, level, and playtime<br>/desc — Update your physical description<br>/name — Change your character name<br>/inventory — Check what you're carrying (also in sidebar)<br>/examine item — Inspect an item's description<br>
<br>Items & Interaction<br>Items are scattered around the world — scavenged supplies, contraband, lore terminals, and more.<br>/take crowbar — Pick up an item from the room<br>/drop medkit — Leave an item on the ground<br>/give Bob medkit — Give an item to another player (same room)<br>/use medkit — Use a consumable (food heals hunger, medkits heal HP)<br>/read terminal — Read a lore terminal (can't be picked up)<br>Contraband items (crowbar, weapons, resistance gear) are illegal. Civil Protection can /search you — if caught carrying contraband, expect consequences. Contraband also drops when you die.<br>The ACTIONS panel in the sidebar shows context-sensitive buttons — Take, Read, Attack, Shop, etc. — based on what's in the room. Use these for quick interaction without typing.<br>
<br>Combat<br>City 17 is dangerous. Hostile NPCs roam the Canals, Sewers, Ravenholm, and Highway 17 — and other players can be a threat too.<br>/attack zombie — Attack an NPC<br>/attack Bob — Attack another player (not in safe zones)<br>/defend — Brace — 50% damage reduction for 30 seconds<br>/surrender — Give up — if CP is present, you're auto-arrested<br>/heal Bob — Vortigaunts only — heal another player for 30 HP<br>Weapons & Damage<br>- <br>
- Fists — 3 damage (always available)<br>
- Crowbar — 15 damage [CONTRABAND]<br>
- Stunstick — 10 damage (non-lethal for CP — 30s stun)<br>
- Shotgun — 12 damage (found in Ravenholm)<br>
- Sawblade — 10 damage (Ravenholm scavenging)<br>
- Crossbow — found on Highway 17<br>
- Pulse Rifle — Combine-issue, Highway 17<br>
<br>Safe Zones: The Plaza and Nexus Lobby — no combat allowed.<br>Death: When you die, contraband drops in the room. After 30 seconds you respawn at the Train Station with 50 HP and 50 Hunger.<br>Hunger: Actions drain hunger (moving -1, attacking -2, working -3). At 0 hunger, you take 1 HP damage per action. Eat food to recover.<br>NPCs: Zombies, headcrabs, fast zombies, poison zombies, zombines, antlions, and Combine soldiers spawn in their respective regions. They fight back — watch your HP. Killing NPCs drops loot and earns EXP.<br>
<br>Economy & Jobs<br>The currency is Combine-issued tokens.<br>/balance — Check your token balance (aliases: /bal, /tokens)<br>/jobs — List available jobs<br>/job scavenger — Take a job (must be in the right room)<br>/work — Clock in — earn wages based on playtime<br>/transfer Bob 50 — Send tokens to another player (same room)<br>/ledger — View your transaction history<br>Jobs:<br>- <br>
- Scavenger — Work in the Industrial Sector<br>
- Ration Distributor — Work at the Plaza (citizen)<br>
- CP Stipend — Nexus (Civil Protection only)<br>

<br>Quests<br>Bulletin boards in the Plaza, Warehouse, Resistance Safehouse, and Grigori's Church post jobs for anyone willing.<br>/board — Check the bulletin board for available quests<br>/accept quest — Accept a quest (max 3 active)<br>/questlog — View your active quests (alias: /journal)<br>/turnin quest — Turn in a completed quest at the board<br>/abandon quest — Drop a quest you don't want<br>Quest types:<br>- <br>
- Explore — Travel to a specific room<br>
- Gather — Collect a certain number of items (consumed on turn-in)<br>
<br>Rewards include tokens and sometimes items. Some quests are faction-restricted.<br>
<br>Factions<br>- <br>
- Citizen — Default. Just trying to survive.<br>
- Civil Protection — Combine enforcers. Can arrest, search, issue warrants, distribute rations.<br>
- Resistance — Freedom fighters operating in secret. Access to the Black Market.<br>
- Vortigaunt — Alien allies. Can /heal others.<br>
<br>CP only: /arrest, /release, /search, /warrant, /ration<br>All factions: /radio message — broadcasts to all faction members across the map<br>Factions are assigned by admins. Want to join one? Roleplay your way in!<br>
<br>Leveling & Progression<br>Earn EXP by playing — killing NPCs, completing quests, working jobs, and exploring new rooms. Your level (1–100) is cosmetic and comes with Half-Life themed titles:<br>- <br>
- Lv.1 — Newcomer<br>
- Lv.10 — Survivor<br>
- Lv.25 — Resourceful<br>
- Lv.50 — Vance Protégé<br>
- Lv.100 — The One Free Man<br>
<br>Your EXP bar is displayed in the STATUS panel. Milestone levels (10, 25, 50, 75, 100) are broadcast to the whole server.<br>
<br>Tips for New Players<br>
- <br>
- Explore early. Visit new rooms to earn exploration EXP. Hidden rooms give double.<br>
- Eat before you starve. Hunger drains with every action. Grab rations from CP or buy from vending machines.<br>
- Don't carry contraband openly. CP can search you. Stash illegal items in a rented apartment.<br>
- Check the bulletin board. Quests are easy tokens and EXP, especially early on.<br>
- Watch the ACTIONS panel. It shows you what you can do in each room without memorizing commands.<br>
- Ravenholm is not for beginners. Gear up and bring medkits before venturing through the tunnel.<br>
- Use /map. It updates as you discover new exits and areas.<br>
- Stay in character. Use /ooc for out-of-character chat. Everything else is in-world.<br>
<br>
<br>Full Command Reference<br>Type /help in-game for the complete command list. 60 commands across communication, movement, items, combat, economy, quests, and admin tools.<br>► Play Now<br>Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman. Rise and shine.<br></p>

If you noticed the site was down a few weeks/months back it was due to a security breach.
I've taken some extra steps to secure the site from future intruders, however if you encounter a vulnerability please let me know!
Everyone should have been forced to change your password recently. If you use that combination email/password on any other site it's highly recommended you change your passwords there as well.
If you have any questions feel free to reply to this thread.

So for the past few years we've gone through a company called Crissic.net for the Website's VPS. On November 5th they posted this announcement to their website:
http://my.crissic.net/announcements.php?id=83
They did NOT send this announcement out via email. So I never saw it. On 12/5 I noticed the site was down, and I created a ticket with them and got this lovely response:
** This is an automated message. Please do not reply to this email/ticket. The Crissic brand is now closed down as of December 4, 2016 and will no longer be existent. We are keeping the Crissic website online for a few more days, however all infrastructure has already been decommissioned in full and all client data has been securely wiped out of our drives. **
So I moved the VPS over to a company that wont go under any time soon. (Digital Ocean) And thanks to .Lb's planning and foresight we had a backup from from Feb 2016 to restore from. The last backup I had was from 2013 so we lost way less than we would have! Thanks LB!!!
TLDR: We outlived our hosting company and had to restore the site from backups.
