Can you survive the Zombocalypse?

Postby Red Charlie » 09 May 2008, 02:28

In death, the city stirs. Its borders still locked down after a sudden government quarantine two years ago, Malton's trapped civilians make their way through the derelict buildings, surviving the changing seasons to rebuild their fragmented society from the rubble upwards. Military cleanup squads patrol the empty streets, stationed in the city for the long haul, while embedded scientific groups continue the experiments that brought them here.

And the dead rise up and thrive, trailing through the ruined streets of the city, milling between buildings and clawing through makeshift barricades and diversions, reclaiming the city as their own.


Urban Dead is a free-to-play browser-based multi-player game where you play the survivor or victim of a zombie outbreak in a quarantined city centre, alongside tens of thousands of others.

This game interests me. I've been going through the Wiki seeing what it can offer before I register a username (which by the way, is all you have to do no other information is needed).

Would anyone be interested in making a LRR survivors group?

I have 2 characters running about, not doing very well. I can say for those starting, use the wiki maps, and try the firefighter first; otherwise you'll likely spend most of your time searching for bullets in a building that's been pleasingly uber barricaded, so you can't get in.

I wouldn't mind a survivors group though, as I haven't seen any group I'm particularly attached to yet.
As a History student, the history degree I'll be getting will get me a decent job, right? Guys? Where you going?

I played it once, many moons ago.

All of the chain-link fences that could be cut through, already were. There was no point to most of the skills, as they didn't function or had already been used by previous characters in ways that made them useless for new players.

Frankly, I wasn't impressed.

If there's a group of LRRmons interested, I'd consider playing a Consumer.

Actually, I've looked over their wiki, and I think the game has vastly improved. (And they got rid of those stupid wirecutters! Huzzah!)

Anyone interested in getting a team together?

I had three characters a few years ago, two became zombies after just a few days and I didn't go back to human for months, after a while, I just forgot about it ^^u

I'm in for a LRR group!

I've started a group: the LRRmons.

Look for Melendwyr. I'll be carrying a copy of 'The Illuminatus! Trilogy'. I'm currently in the Chancelwood district.

Post where you are, and we'll try to meet in the same district. I'll head towards you, and vice versa.

I think you may be able to join my group just by inputting its name on your Settings page. Let's see how it works.

I am currently located in Tollyton 5 Districts South of Chancelwood. I have also joined LRRmons. I'll start making my way to you now Mel but I'll be axing any Zombies I come across.

I'm currently in Slanterville. I'm resting up because I wanted to know what happened when you ran out of Action points.

I have a dream of reaching Dakerstown

You sleep. Or are unable to think, if you're a zombie.

Go slow, guys. Coming back to life is much, much harder than simply taking the time to end your turn in a safe zone.

I started making my way north today unfortunately I only had 25 AP so I only made it to the north side of Roftwood. Currently resting in a barricaded buliding. If I bump into anyone on the way feel free to give me a shout and we can tag along.

Well, I finally earned enough XP to purchase the melee combat skill, so now I'm attacking with my fire axe at 40%.

Soon, I shall be strong enough to search our my fellow LRRmons and join them in righteous battle.

Jesus, it took me 50 action points to kill 1 zombie (about 25 on the zombie, that's 21 missed attacks...25% my ass) and find a safe zone. Which I don't think is very safe, because there are 10 bodies outside.

How can I find where Mel is, or do I just run around?

If you just wanna run around and kill zombies, choose one of the military classes.

Soon I'll have enough XP to purchase the Free Running skill, and then I'll come and find the rest of you.
