Urban Dead Thread
« on: December 22, 2006, 11:04:15 pm »
Pedro just convinced me to sign up for an Urban Dead account. 

http://www.urbandead.com/

Web-based Zombie MMORPG. 

Does anybody here already play?  I'm looking for a group to join, preferably of the living.  I'm in Mornington at the moment.

Judy Costello has joined.

If a TOUAMB group or whatever is set up, I'm more than game.

Yes, thanks for pointing out that people who aren't me discussed something vaguely similar last month. 

Although I'm sort of surprised you didn't point this thread too.  But then, I guess that was before your time. 

Now, for the people who might be actually interested in Urban Dead, which has not been discussed previously on this board (as I discovered when I ran a search before starting a new topic, as any responsible person would) -- shall we continue?

I'm Ben Tucker in-game, although I only play sporadically these days. Recently I completed a long winding circuit around the city and returned to my starting point of Caiger Mall to find it infested with zombies. This is a disappointment (I left after Caiger had been holding out for several weeks) and if anyone's looking for an exciting time in Malton, the Caiger Mall area (Chudleyton and Darvall Heights) will offer it.

my name is "David London," as that was the best I could come up with at the time. I know that a City is not the same as a Last Name. I am a medic, because medics are awesome. I will try to get to where you are, but... how? I am in "Penny Heights."

Also, I am going to die before morning, because I ran out of action points before I got to a building. D'oh!

Penny Heights is basically at the opposite corner of the city from Chudleyton. There is a map at http://redrum.soul-fantasy.net/map.php if you want to figure your way around.

Don't worry too much about dying, because this is a game about zombiepocalypse. Just stand up and start shambling around and looking for people to chew on until someone revives you. Many people have made a habit of going to cemetaries and reviving zombies found there, so if you see a cemetary with a large number of zombies milling about and perhaps going "mrh?" every so often, it might be such a place.

I started a new account as Elvis Waits in Penny Heights because I couldn't be bothered to wait for a revive.

Lady Elanor is dead.  Pedro is part of the Josephine's Generals, HQ'd in Wykeville, so I'm going to seek a revive there.  Let's set a meeting point and find an existing group to connect with until we build up our resources.  I nominate Marven Mall in South Blytheville as a meeting point -- S. Blytheville is a human stronghold and has a number of groups working together to keep the burb safe for the living.  It's also sort of the midpoint between where everyone is right now -- I realize that it might take those who have been zombie'd a few days to get to us but I'll spend the meantime talking with the JG and trying to secure some revive kits and other supplies. 

If you haven't already, check out the Uniform Barricading Policy and the Sacred Ground Policy, both of which are voluntary policies which many groups (including JG) support.  It's helpful to know these rules when looking for shelter or a revive in unfamiliar territory, Pedro tells me.

It's OK, Wommie -- We only get 50 moves a day -- which takes about ten or fifteen minutes to get through.  That's about three lines worth of text at the rate I go...

Besides, if I'm checking in here to see where my zombie pals are, I'm sure to stick around long enough to read the other posts, right? 

Or you could join us. 

come play with us, wombat...for ever and ever and ever...
