So, we did something again. We're hoping you might find it mildly entertaining. Some background: Last year at Halloween, we ran a fantastically popular Zombie Apocalypse event. Britain was zombified and players would be trapped inside with multitudes of zombies, forced to scavenge for weapons, armor, reagents, and other resources to stay alive. When they didn't? They were turned into zombies themselves, eager to eat the brains of other fallen players for various powerups. We tracked the most prolific killers and survivors and a fun time was had by all, with many in the community openly calling it " The best UO event ever". I couldn't disagree, even though I was only spectating. So, seeing how much people were enjoying DayZ, this year we decided to turn the event into a full scale UO shard with all of the trimmings. http://www.uozombies.comWhat's it got to entertain you? - Permadeath.
- Zombification.
- Hunger.
- Food / Resource Contamination/Purification.
- Fast Skill Gain.
- IPY 1 (1999 UO) PvP.
- Guildwars 2 Style World Events.
... Hey, and lots more. Like setting zombies on fire by shooting arrows through firefields (or just torches held by other players), contaminated cities taken over by powerful undead creatures, web statistics for top murderers, survivors, etc. I think it'll be a lot of fun. I hope you do too. If nothing else, it's guaranteed to be interesting.  Launching October 31st, 2012 |

Oh, this looks like fun.
Never having played UO, how will I best avoid becoming a zombie in the first 24 hours?

You probably won't. ;)
It's going to be death and destruction. That's why our skill gain is really quick. The best strategy last year was to get together with other players in a player-made stronghold (usually inside of a building with multiple exits) and stockpile the weapons you find. There's not much to do but RUN when player zombies with lots of powerups rush your base, though.
I assume that strategy becomes very outdated when you start in the forest instead of the middle of a city, though. We'll have to see what people figure out.

What do I need to do to play this? Do I have to buy UO, and if so, where do I do that?
Once a person dies, can a person start over with a new character or is one slated to remain a zombie forever?

UO is free to download at this point. You'll find instructions on our site. Painless process. ;)
You can definitely start over with a new character, yes.

You had me at "Hello".
Can you update the original post with a note that this launches 10/20?
|
No Nerf, but I put a link to this very thread and I said that you all can guarantee for my purity. I even mentioned your case, and see if they can take a look at your lawn from a Michigan perspective.

Did a test run- I can run the client with my new laptop! This was the only thing that stopped me when your server launched. Cannot wait for the carnage with this new concept. |

How do we join? I tried the instructions and it only logs me into the normal shard.

UOZombies will appear on our shard list tonight around 11pm EST (or, that's the plan, of course).

Turns out it's hard to attract new people to Ultima Online, and permadeath sometimes makes people quit.
Who knew?

 I was hoping for some funny screenshots of zombie azz-rape. |

There was that.
We actually had a live stream on the website for some time, too.

Well, thanks either way for some good times on IPY. I was damn hooked...it was bad enough that the ole lady 'hates that stupid game'
I imagine it was my last hoorah into Ultima Online. I hope the best for you, your servers, and any future endeavors. You're a damn fine admin.
