Found out about this game on the SA forums and since it's good, clean
fun I thought some of you might enjoy it. I'll just paste the info
given in the thread:
Urban Dead is a text-based MMO with zombies in it.

You choose a class and a suburb then get 50 AP to spend. You get 1 AP
every half hour so don't waste them. You can attack zombies or humans,
search for stuff and move around buildings in a suburb. You can also
move diagonally. A suburb is an area in the map with buildings in and
the world is made up of 100 or so suburbs.

As a human player you usually attack a zombie then hide in a building.
It is advised that you stay inside a building on your last turn unless
you want to die. You can also attack other humans but you only get half
xp for doing it. There is also a group in the game that will go after
humans who kill other humans.

A good start is to choose a fireman and go to one of the goon bases
below. Attack a zombie with most of your turns then hide inside. You'll
probably miss most of the time, but stick with it. In a day or two you
should have 100xp. Go to the 'buy skills' button and buy a new skill,
like being able to hit things better. There are other classes to who
get xp for healing or tagging zombies, so just try anything until
you're happy with a class.

If you die you can be revived, but it's a long process. If you're level
one or two you might as well start again unless you want to be a
zombie. Zombies are basically invincible but can't enter buildings. As
a zombie you either have to smash down barricades or eat on people
stranded outside.
It's basically a neat browser based game which you play for about 10-15
mins a day. I think it's awesome, but then again I've an unhealthy
fascination with zombies. I have two characters, one human and one
zombie. You're allowed 3 characters max, but they can't work together
or you'll be banned.

There's about 80-90 zombies from SA who've banded together, calling
themselves 'The Many'. We attacked a fortified police station earlier
tonight and slaughtered somewhere in the region of 50 people hiding
within.

Bear in mind this is only out a short while and features being added
and tweaked fairly consistently. It will take a few days to get into it
properly and get some good skills, but it's a great waste of a few
minutes if you've time to burn like me. :smile:

When creating your character you can pick the suburb you start off in,
so any snarkpitters could band together. I'd advise staying well away
from Shearbank and Millbrook Heights in particular. (Check the map
below) Read the wiki link at the bottom too, it has some very good info.

Yes, it is awsome. Me and a friend have been running around trying to survive for the last couple of days. We're in Burdekin Alley Police Dept in Galbraith Hills atm. If anyone is around, join us. It is a lot easier to survive in numbers.

Sounds awesome, but since I won't have an internet connection the next
10 days or so I won't make a character right now, but later perhaps.
What the Snarkpitters listen to!
