Cyberworld - TORG based with a Shadowrun overlay. Not only was that
difficult, you were limited in how many you could know. Furthermore,
starting characters started off in their guildhalls [where guild =
class, like shaman, etc]. And it wasn't trivial to travel from one
city to another, making it even harder to meet up.

Lots of pluses about the mud tho, till it went down and never came
back...
