I dunno I think we're all scattered throughout the city and its suburbs. It'll take us a couple of days to move to a point in which we can meet up.

I'm in Hollomstown, which is directly on the southern border. I suggest we stick to an edge/corner suburb, if you're ok with that.

Quick question, I only play shooters so I'm not familiar with role playing games. Is there any fighting in this game, or is it just walking around talking like WOW? Anything with zombies sounds cool.

Pault will be our first zombie!

I think we need a central local because I'm on the extreme north end. and moving cross country will prove difficult for awhile. we need to get a variety of players. We need some civilian consumers some medics and some medical technitions if we want to progress quickly in the game.

I dont understand the game. I just wander around till Im out of APs. Then I lay there waiting to get killed. So far Im still alive. I just dont get it.
I try to kill zombies, I just seem to waste APs, or trade them for Xps I guess, but the zombie doesnt die. Same for attacking other survivors. I have a pistol and ammo, drank a beer I found and have been bashing barricades with a pipe I found. I havent gotten beyond any barricades though.
Can someone tell me what the hell I should be doing ? Can we group together and share skills and defend a position ( from what I dont know since I have never been attacked or anything ). Is all the good stuff in buildings so heavily barricaded that I cant gain access ?

There are maps on wiki and they show current war zones. there are groups of survivors who hold key positions and groups of zombies who try to kill survivors and keep the key positions in ruins. These are malls, nanotech buildings and police stations. The malls are the most heavily attacked positions because you can find better stuff there.

If you wander around stay out all night and haven';t been killed your probably in a green zone. I'm in a orange zone and can't go outside without being seen by a zombie. If you attack a zombie they know who attacked them and can follow you ever after if they want to. It take about 17 shots with a pistol and basic training to kill a zombie. That must be police basic train as best i can figure.

So for now don't die because very few people are still in the game reviving others. Once your a level 1 zombie life really sucks.

I got killed by a zombie, and I cant do anything cause I used up my 160 hit limit or something.
So, I guess Im dead or am I undead ?
I think I can be revived cant I ?
I ll be using my work computer in the morning , I get to work an hour early every day to check my personal mail. So I ll hopefully find a way to come back to life or something.
I would love to find other arfcommers but I dont know how.

A map for all those interested. We need to find a place to meet , preferably a mall. Need stuff, and It seems from what I have read you get stuff searching at malls. Someone more expreianced wanna tell me if i am right about this.

Also if you copy and paste the links some of us provided and scroll to the bottom of the page, there is an add this person to you contacts button. Click it and  they are added, Although I am not sure what that does.

Finally the way you find the web link YOU should post to have people add you is to click the " settings" button at the bottom of the page and copy the url there.

Thats waht I figured out. for what it is worth. I also hit the 160 moved a day ( pronbrbly cause i am chaeting with 2 cheracters.

Anyone else got any ideas to help the noobs?

Here's my profile.

I'm at the Halberry Blvd. Police Station in Pitneybank. The neighborhood is listed as only moderately dangerous and the police station is near a mall.

The wiki is your friend.

From what I've read, you don't want to sleep in malls, police stations, or fire stations because that's where the zombie players tend to look for victims. However, I've been camping in this station for a couple of nights now and it seems secure at the moment. You have some of your best chances of searching for weapons/ammo in police stations.

Once I get some APs built back up, I'm going to check the mall. I'm getting close to having enough XPs to get the running skill, which should make life easier.

Unfortunately, the urbandead server appears to be down at the moment, so I'll be trying again this evening.

ETA this map is extremely useful.

ETA again -- I've moved to the Boutcher Alley Police Station in Pitneybank. I'm planning to head north into the suburb of Spracklingbank, which is supposed to be safer, so that I can try to pick off isolated Zs and get some XPs.

Yes let us all head for fort creedy.

I know it's a long way but there seems to be more of us near it then away from it.
If anyone want to try to catch up to me I'm willing to wait for you. We're better off traveling in small groups of 2 or 3 till we get unified in one local.

Dk out.

It needs a lot of work but it's at least up.

I think we should run the wiki where we have a general section then each member has one post that they update with their location and goal, so you can find the position of everyone easily.
Link Posted: 10/1/2007 3:06:47 PM EDT
[#44]
When we get to 100-200 people (It happened on RTS) that will be impossible to follow. Right now we need to focus on building a good how to guide and then membership and then small guerrilla teams

Help me add content to the how to section then I'll do a membership push in GD. Then we'll have working teams as we figure out where new members show up. We need at least 4-5 teams so people can reach a team in one days travel when they first start.
Link Posted: 10/1/2007 3:21:13 PM EDT
[#45]
But there are so many guides out there. We should find an suburb and protect it. Set up an HQ, then patrol around the suburb killing zombies. Have safe houses all over the place. Keep that suburb "ours" And I don't see why we need to go to a fort. I think it'd be better if we stayed away from large populations.

Okay, I'm staying put at Boutcher Alley Police Station. After you get here, I want to head north for a bit into a green zone so we can pick off individual/small groups of Zs.
Link Posted: 10/1/2007 3:36:56 PM EDT
[#47]
I agree with you, but i think we need more people for that and we'd be better off with 4-5 suburbs evenly distributed across the map so that new joiners will have a place to turn to. As far as the fort there is relative safety in numbers right now because none of us are ready to kill even one zombie even if all the arfcom people band together. When we have 4-5 level 10 guys with good abilities yeah sure, but for now we're all just fresh meat.

I've gotten three people to join and they all have been eaten inside of a half hour.
We need a simple ten sentence guide that keeps their attention so that they live through the first day.

Well i found a nearby zombie to attack
used 10 ap's and 12 shots to gain 13 exp.

have all new players play the military scout at first. very easy class because it starts with free-runner. Most suburbs have a base, and with free-runner it's easy to get in quickly.
