Pretty interesting, well, for something that's free. I can easily see
myself get tired of this, but for now it's fun. Basically you are a
human survivor, roaming around the city - but there are also zombies
who try to kill you. When killed, you will turn into a zombie, and fill
their countless ranks. There's also various skills and stuff to learn.

What I like about it is the casual-ness of it all. You only get about
50 action points per day, which slowly regenerate, ensuring that it
will only take a few minutes to do whatever you want and then log off.
It's different, say, from a certain epidemic called WoW.

Oh, and if you find yourself near Vinetown, ask for Frigg.

<div style="text-align: left;">I created a profile.

T Boardman. My character is a Firefighter. I'm in Raines
Hills. Don't really know what I should be doing in this game... I
have a feeling I will die pretty quickly. But who knows...

Edit: I
managed to attack a Zombie down to 8 hp before having to hide in a very
strongly barricaded firehouse. The random dice rolling was
actually fairly exciting. I also managed to find another Axe and
another pair of Wirecutters. Which makes me wonder, what can I do
with extra items... and what do specific items do? Is there a
resource somewhere with this information?

</div>

Try the Wiki: http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Main_Page

I found a bottle of wine in a church. Not sure what I should do with it either, short of drinking it... :wink:

That link helped a lot.

I chose Firefighter because I have an affinity for them in real life,
and I just found out that according to that wiki they're one of the
easiest classes to play!

Oh and CJ apparently Wine heals 1 HP when you drink it.

I found an item list with descriptions 2/3rds of the way down this page: http://www.geocities.com/tenk_axeshigh/1help.html

TwoKnives made one of his rare snarkpit cameo's not too long ago about
this, so for more people who play you might wanna check his thread...

Oh I hate games like these, you just click buttons and hope you don't miss etc...

But if this is your thing then I guess this is for you.

Looks... exciting. :razz: <span style="color: red;">

me back to what little D&D I played :biggrin: And reminds me of a pen and
paper RPG a few friends were playing called something along the lines
of 'Curse of Cthula' that was made in the '20s or '30s, and set in that
time period. It had some nifty illustrations. I might make a character
later.

Haha!

I was runnin around with my medic, looking for survivors when i
stumbeled across one of those zombies, emptied my pistol ammo on the
darn thing and then spent the rest of my actionpoints punching the
zombie but he didnt die ^_^.

I hope that no one kills my medic before i get the chance to run away...

Yeah its usually not a good idea to spend time outside of barricaded
buildings. I would go back in an 2 hours and use the 4 AP points
you get to enter the nearest barricaded building.

Many building seem to be so heavily barricaded it's impossible to enter
them. I was lucky and found a not too overly barricaded factory to stay
in.

Is there any upper limit to how many action points one can have?

---

What the Snarkpitters listen to!

maxes out at 50... so after 25 hours you should be maxed out.

My character is Nickelplate, and apparently i am a HORRIBLE shot with a pistol AND my fists. you DON'T want this soldier fighting in YOUr army. I'm an a police station.

I'm at a junkyard in Richmond Hills. Nickelplate, I'm coming your way!

---

What the Snarkpitters listen to!

I'm still in Chancelwood (which is 4 up and 4 across from Lukinswood.)

Since my last turn I heard that there is a group of 30-50 zombies
marauding about in Chancelwood. So far the Hospital I'm hiding in
hasn't been hit, but if it does I'll make my way to Lukinswood and meet
up with you two. If my hospital isn't raided, I'm going to
continue to try to level up here. Only level 2 right now.

That is so cool. I just wish that moving around didn't use my actions up.

for more cool little RPG things. go to www.dimebowl.com/misc and DL the cow1 and cow2 .zip files for Castle of The Winds. you'd think it'd be retarded, but it's really addictive and fun.

I'll be waiting for you otzman.

PS why do i miss so much when I shoot? (or even punch) its just a waste of my action pts.)

Nickelplate, read these guides: http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Category:Guides

They are extremely helpful. I didn't know my ass from my elbow in this game before reading the wiki and now I feel like I have a gameplan.

The short of it is until you reach level 2 and get a chance to improve
your pistol skill, you're going to be hard pressed to hit
zombies. You'll probably have to stick with it for a week before
you level.

AtM, how can you gain experience while being in a building?

And Nickelplate, let's kick them zombie arses together when I arrive. :wink:

---

What the Snarkpitters listen to!

Well when I said I was going to try to level up here, I meant in the
general area. Not in the building itself. I usually leave
the building, walk a few spaces, find a zombie to attack... use up 40
APs attacking, and then go back and hide.

I just started another character. Bill
Waterson. He's a military private, and former ex-cartoonist. :biggrin:

He's in Jensentown and I'll steadily try to work my way down to you
guys. With either of my two characters, but not both. I
don't want to get banned.

can't you attack other ppl inside the building with you?

Let's whoop up on them otzman.

You can attack people inside the buildings... but you only get half XP
for attacking other survivors (which means its really not worth it if
you're just trying to level up).

Nickelplate, did you happen to catch the guides I posted?

I caught the guides you posted, I am at work and haven't got a chance to read 'em yet. Don't worry your pretty head about this, I will read them. :smile:

I'm roaming around in Pegton at the moment, searching for First Aid
kits and also survivors to heal. Once I get Diagnosis, I'll be sure to
head your way - maybe we could meet up and crush some zombie skulls! :wink:

Bill's made it to Chudleyton so far. I'm holed up in a Police
Dept. looking for extra clips. I ran out of turns today because I
tried to access the site more than 160 times today ( it wouldn't load
so I kept reloading... boo ).

I'll still head south and find you guys.

Wouldn't Costco be the ideal place to go? Assuming it wasn't full of infected people/zombies.

You've got food, fortification (one way in and out, with one or two side doors), weapons. A large building to pick off zombies from.

Well ... unless you got your ass up to the mountains with supplies.

---

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Just discovered that a zombie was attacking me. I suppose hiding in a
junkyard wasn't a good idea. Not far away from nickel now though, I'll
get to you as soon as I have a few more action points.

---

What the Snarkpitters listen to!

It's pretty dang cool, but i run out of points WAY too quickly. Right now, I'm just trying to stock up on supplies. We need to form our own group. and take over a suburb.

I'm a level 9 soldier currently stationed in Ruddlebank. I have my own personal building that's extremely heavily barricaded and within like 7 spaces of two police stations, a hospital, a necrotech building, and a shopping mall... unfortunately I have to travel like 20 turns before finding any zombies to kill so there's not alot of danger or action.

I'm toying with the idea of going on a mass player killing spree but I don't want to lose my precious Yak Fighter

Every time something happens that gives me additional cause to hate humanity I add another room to my Half-Life level.

Hmm.. maybe instead of turning on your fellow man you should set
out anew and look for a fresh area to roam and cleanse of zombies.

Speaking of losing characters... the one I just started is in a police
station with no AP's and I'm pretty sure we're about to be
overrun. Great!

I'm still at "Lukinswood in the Jensen BLVD police dept" I go outside and use up my AP's and then come back inside to rest. Waiting on Snarkpitters.

We really should take over a suburb.

I'm at the Shea Arms in Lukinswood. I went to the Jensen BLVD
police dept but it was heavily barricaded so I never even tried to get
in, so I hurried back a few blocks to where a few other survivors were.
Is there any way to get into those heavily barricaded buildings?

---

What the Snarkpitters listen to!

I'm in Greentown atm, I'll come and find yuh... and I got that pistol upgrade, still missed with an entire clip :razz: Very annoying.

One day you'll know what you're talking about, I can hardly imagine

Im moving to luckinswood as fast as i can.

Would be fun if we had our snarkpit "base of operations" there =P.

My characters name is "Filip Coulianos"

Is there a point to having a contact list set up? And what's the easiest way to add people to it?

Hamish McMeph, firefighter. I'm over in Fryerbank, so I doubt I'll get to the "base of operations" any time soon. :razz:

I'm pretty sure once you get the Free Running skill you can get into
those heavily barricaded buildings. My firefighter in Chancelwood
just got it, but I have yet to check it out.

The game's alright, but imagin if it was 3d real time. It'd be like Vampire the Mascrade Online.

You know, I've actually got nothing to say

AtM, I think you're right. I read that guide you posted, useful, thanks.

Sadly, my dear OtZman was just killed :/ so now I'm a zombie. I'll make another character later on.

What happens if I stop using my current character that was killed and
turned into a zombie? Will it just stand around there and do nothing? I
can imagine that a whole lot of people start playing and then stop
playing with their character when it turns into a zombie, especially if
they hadn't gained any experience with it, like me.

What the Snarkpitters listen to!

After 5 (real) days you character becomes hidden until you log back in. You never die completley, as the thing says.

You can become human again through leveled up scientists.

Yeah, people list your profiles ... otherwise you'd have to find them, and this thing is 100² big. Or is it 50? Making it 100 total.

I'm held up in a firestation I was making my way Northwest, but, was running low on AP.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Each neighborhood is made up of 10x10 squares, with each square usually a single building.

The entire city of Malton is composed of 10x10 neighborhoods.
So... its like you said at first, 100x100 squares. It's quite
large.

If a building is heavily barricaded, you can always attack the
barricades to bring it down to "very strong" - that's kind of risky
though, and the survivors inside might not appreciate it.

i played for about a month

you can get in buildings i think that were barricaded from the outside

if your a zombie go to a building you know has alot of people in it and eventually youll get revivified

The thing is I don't really feel like even trying to reviev my
character as I haven't gained a single experience point with it and
really played bad running around and staying in the middle of the
streets getting attacked.

I guess I'll just leave my character be then and start a new one.

good decision in that case
