Omerta Game guide

Omerta is a text-based massive multiplayer RPG game, based on the stories about the legendary don Barafranca.

Set in the 1930’s gangster and mafia world, the game is all about status, money and respect. Players get rank points by doing crimes, stealing cars and busting friends out of jail. You can even run your own organized crime ring, robbing local banks and holding up cars on quiet roads. As you delve deeper into the dark gangster world, many players find other business opportunities, such as gambling clubs, reselling booze and even drug dealing.

New game players choose to start in a city of either USA or Italy, where the mafia has got a large influence even now. One of the more gambling cities, Las Vegas, allows gangsters to try their luck with a wide range of slot machines, black-jack games, and even roulette tables.

In a deadly and sometimes cruel world it helps to have allies, both for protection and shared wealth. Many game players have set up families, who will look out for each other until the very end. Families are rich, powerful and can run whole neighborhoods of a city, so you may want to keep on their good side. As you would imagine, they aren’t too happy if another player or rival family shoots one of their guys or takes one of their casinos.

For those more cautious game players there are other forms of protection, bodyguards, fast getaway vehicles and even bulletproof suits.

So think you’re up to the challenge young gangster? Join the game, everything is free and if you’re good enough, grow strong and most importantly, stay alive, we may just be looking at the next Don Barafranca.

Some Information about RPG’S

Net als in het dagelijks leven probeer je in een online game een bepaald beeld van jezelf neer te zetten. Een beeld waaraan men kan afleiden wat voor soort gamer jij bent, jouw interesses, omgang met andere mensen enz. Je wilt natuurlijk overkomen als een van de betere gamers van het spel, met de beste wapens en de hoogste skills.

In onderstaand essay ga ik dieper in op de overeenkomsten en verschillen tussen een ‘real life’ identiteit en een virtuele identiteit in de online game Omerta. Aandachtspunten zijn de identiteitsconstructie in de game, denkbeeldige gemeenschappen en de waarde ervan voor gamers, en de rol van gender, entniciteit en religie.

De game is (gratis) te spelen op http://www.barafranca.com/
