Very interesting. I wish there was more to do. And like Lorekeep mentioned, a fresh server. Used up all of my turns from my IP at work today. Tom of the Dead is almost zombie food after falling asleep trying to find a safe house. Other survivors have fared much better. edit: some sort of account page would be nice. Easier to remember account name/pwd than specific character names.

The IP block is a bit easy to get around.
But yes, being able to get started in SOME fashion would be good. The zombies have apparently decimated *all* the malls in the game... I think they are winning Monroeville. Plus all those characters I created are free Zombie XP.
Checking the Wiki for the map is very, very good idea.

Could you elaborate on this? It's been annoying the fuck out of me as well.

I suppose I could log on to one of my build servers and play it through remote desktop.

Hey, that's not a bad idea. I have about 1000 different remote connections to various businesses I use for technical assistance here. I guess I could just jump around them until I find somebody not using one and just play a bunch of games off them.

Creating a new character after you die is doing it wrong.
Also, if you could tell me where exactly all these non-ruined buildings and survivors are, that information would help me immensely. I need it for, um, non-brain-eating purposes.
(edit) What's interesting is that the survivors completely won the first Monroeville quarantine from all accounts, but this round seems to be going very differently. I'm guessing that if everyone starts from scratch it favors survivors and if everyone starts with a few levels under their belts it favors the zombies? Or maybe it'll all turn around once the quarantine goes into effect and headshots are permadeath again.

The police station has 57 people in it and it's barricaded.

Haven't died yet. Just wanted to experience the game more outside of my initial 50AP.

Being a zombie is easy mode (I can't die!). Lrn 2 play n00b! But really, playing a zombie is way the hell more boring than being a survivor, IMO. I want to delete my stupid char :(. Also, thanks for the link lorekeep! Edit: Ah shit: * A zombie killed Lorekeep1. (3 hours and 35 minutes ago) * The zombie grabbed hold of you! (3 hours and 35 minutes ago) * A zombie clawed at you for 3 damage. (3 hours and 35 minutes ago) ...and again. * The zombie grabbed hold of you! (3 hours and 35 minutes ago) * A zombie clawed at you for 3 damage. (3 hours and 35 minutes ago) * The zombie lost its grip. (3 hours and 35 minutes ago) * A zombie clawed at you for 3 damage. (3 hours and 35 minutes ago) * The zombie grabbed hold of you! (3 hours and 35 minutes ago) * The zombie lost its grip. (3 hours and 35 minutes ago) * A zombie clawed at you for 3 damage.

Luckily I still have Tom and Mike from the same department running around as well....

Guys, i have been playing this for a while, at work. heh. For the best experience, use this. Urban Dead ToolbarYou can turn on and off some of the graphics, and re-skinning, depending on how you like things. I don't play the hardcore server, but i do have a high level on the regular.

It is not in keeping with the design. This adds overhead to the game. It is fully supported however (its just css, and image replacements, and stuff). You can even skin it yourself if you want. Template

Man if I could just figure out who to heal, I'd be golden. I'm going to keep searching up FAKs until I have enough to level-up. Once I get Diagnosis I'm due to get lots of XP.

You need first aide kits, normality found in police stations, hospitals, and the like. If there are no necrotech buildings, your going to be hard pressed to find any Syringes to revive/cure zombies. EDIT: i made a guy on the hardcore one. You guys are fucked. the only thing you can really do, is try to out run the zambies. There is like, nowhere to hide, and if there is...not for long. They are systematically destroying buildings.

I'm in a secure place (hospital) with lots of medkits. The trick is finding someone to heal. Police Stations don't have medkits from what I read, but it's a good place to get weapons.

I was at a building with nine zombies and a broken door. There were at least thirty survivors inside. They got it very securely barricaded since then, but we've taken it back down to heavily. And several people were taken out. We have twenty-five zombies outside waiting for a snack now. Things are going to get ugly.

Yeah, that's the biggest lesson I've learned. Hide in crappy looking places by yourself. Or, hide with 60 other people so the odds of you getting attacked in a zombie rampage before you can log in again are much less, heh.

Tough to level that way. =\ The only thing I could think of is to get some books from a library and shack up somewhere. 10% chance to get 1 XP ... so average 5 hours per 1 XP... You'll be Lv. 2 in 500 hours! Assuming you don't lose the book....

There are things you can do to get XP but it's not as fast as healing or hurting someone.

Tuned in, immediately get to watch cringey Ubisoft talking head offering her deepest sympathies to the families impacted by the Orlando shooting while flanked by a man in a giraffe suit and some sort of "horrifically garish neon costumes through the ages" exhibit or something. We need to stop this fucking planet right now and sort some shit out. -Kail

Quick question :
1. How do I know if I'm on the hardcore server?
2. How can I use the map? Like right now, it says I'm in South Monroeville but I can't find it on the wiki map.
3. What's the best strategy when you find a barricaded building? How do you enter trough the barricade? Is there any reason for the current group to not shoot you?

If you're in Monroeville, you're on the hardcore server. Map is here: http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Monroeville#Maps3. If it's seriously barricaded you can enter. If it's Very Heavily Barricaded you need Free Running to get in. No reason unless they are psychotic from the stress of a zombie apocalypse.
