Who else plays? Me and Vector just started up. I've been playing for a while as a zombie, but I decided to start a survivor character, and that's when it got interesting. Now I'm really into it.
-
I have an account, but I don't ever use it.

What is Urban Dead?

Yeah, you kind of have to get into the story and communitye or else it's boring. If you ever try again, first read the wiki thoroughly, then maybe go to the unofficial forums, then find a suburb with lots of activity and go there. Oh, and be a freakin survivor, you should only be a zombie once you've learned things as a survivor, much more fun.
-
yeah,i was a survivor,all the stupid places wer super baricaded (dunno how to spell) and no1 was there!!!!!!!!!

A. You were probably in one of the dangerous suburbs that was under siege.
B. You should read the wiki to find out where to go and what's happening.
-
meh
-
Bump. I want to join up with someone that I know. If anybody here plays UD, I want to form an alliance.
-
I've been playing for a while.
-
Who/Where are you?
-
does it cost money? and like what kind of game is it whats the play style?
-
1. No, it's free.
2. It's a mostly text-based game, except for your map in the upper left hand corner. What you do is create a character, either a human or zombie. Then you are put somewhere in the city of Malton. Malton itself is comprised of many suburbs, each one a ten by ten square of buildings and streets. Each building, street, monument, etc. is a block, and you must move to blocks adjacent to your position to move across the suburbs. Now, the goal of the game as a human is to survive and hunt zombies. You can use weapons and items that you find in buildings, and gain more skills by levelling up. The goal of the game as a zombie is to kill humans and add them to the ranks of the undead. As a zombie, you'll also have the chance to destroy barricades and generally cause trouble for the humans. You will gain more skills as you level up as a zombie also.
The thing is, you only have a set number of Action Points to use. AP are used up when you perform certain actions, such as attacking something, talking or groaning, moving to a different block, etc. You regain AP at a rate of one per half hour. You have to use AP wisely, and judge your actions. For example, if you're a human, and you see a zombie two blocks away, but you only have 17 AP, what would you do? Well, you could either risk going to the zombie and trying to kill it, or you could try and get to a safe building. It's these decisions that make the game pretty challenging. In addition to AP, your IP address can only access a playing screen 160 times a day. It's set this way so that people who make multiple characters (Which you can do openly) can't just keep making characters to continue to play forever.
Now, a few other things. There are groups in UD much like the alliances of CN. They can be either groups of human zombie killers, or roaming hordes of the living dead. Some human groups choose to defend a specific suburb, usually the one in which that group was formed. Some zombie hordes choose to direct their assault to a specific suburb or building to cripple the human forces in that area.
Buildings can be barricaded by humans to keep the zombies out. There are different levels of barricading, according to how much AP the person constructing it uses to make it. At a certain point, the barricades become so strong that humans cannot enter or leave the building without the Free Running skill (Which lets you enter a building from an adjacent building). So you have to be careful as a survivor, because when you're low on AP and you decide to go to the nearest hospital, but you find it too heavily barricaded, you're as good as dead.
But one of the more interesting aspects of the game is that zombies can be revived. Using a special Necrotech (Sort of like the Ubrella Corporation of UD) syringes, you can actually bring the undead back to full life. There are blocks called revive points, where a group patrolling that suburb heals any zombies standing there. Cemeteries are always revive points, and it is against UD policy to attack any zombies standing in cemeteries (Unless they have Brain Rot, but you'll find out about those things later).
By the way, I didn't type all this out just for King, this is for anyone interested in Urban Dead.
Search "Urban Dead Wiki" if you wish to know all about the game.
The site is simply www.urbandead.com

What happens when you die?
-
then you become a zombie, its simple really, ever half an hour, you get a point, with these points, you can do something, be it walk to another location, or smash a zombies skull in.
-
i used to play, but i cant remember its name, so i started new one

I already said this.
Yes, when you die as a human, you become a zombie, but you can get revived if you want.
You can't really die as a zombie, but you can lose your hit points, and the only downside to getting "killed" as a zombie is that it costs lots of AP to simply stand up.
-
Also, Greg, who/where are you in the game?
-
fark, im a zombie, near an autobody shop, cant rmemeber
same name tho, evil greg guy
-
Well, what suburb are you in? I'll probably have my zombie character meet you. I'm looking for an ally anyways.
-
Hah! Here's a picture of my secondary character killing some guy from a blacklist (Probably a player killer) by orders of my group. Keep in mind that I am a LEVEL 3, and the guy I killed is LEVEL 41:

im bored link please
-

-
Be a policeman. I like my cop character the best.
-
k im not sure what to do im just like walking around doing nothing...
-
look at this to find out a lot of stuff:
wiki.urbandead.com
Also, what suburb are you in, and what building? uburb name is on the top of your map, and building...well, it just says the building name you're at.
-
im in dartside, and im out of AP in some church...
-
Tomorrow, my third character will be at St Mattew's Hospital in Dartside. Meet him there. Here's a map of Dartside:
http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Dartside (http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Dartside)
Scroll to the bottom of the page.
-
k i'll be there
-
Oh yeah, his name is Bace. Just thought I'd give you that, heheh.
-
the building has been heavily barricaded you can see no way inside...
-
Try the Highton Building 1 block SW. If not there, then any of the buildings nearby, then just tell me which one.
My guy has been attacked on the way there, so hang tight; he'll be there soon.
-
k im in the highton hotel 1 block SW and 1 block S...i have like 20 AP jsut fyi.
-
Okay.
Uh, if we're going to work together, we need a plan. What's your sn? I'll guide you through some battle stuff.
-
KWAC, same as on here. i really dont get what your supposed to do. i've tried attacking some zombiess but i always like miss...i have a bottle of wine tho!
-
Where did you get that? Did you search the area or something in a bar?
Anways, battle in UD is all about percentage. The higher your attack percentage, the more likely it is for you to score a hit. Buying new skills with the Exp you earn from doing various things can help to increase that percentage. Just keep trying, and you'll eventually kill one. But be wary of your draining AP, as getting stuck outside ensures your death and transformation into a zombie. You can go to a cemetery to get revived, but it's just a pain, so avoid it.
I could weaken a couple zombies for you, then let you finish them off. We both would get Exp that way. Unfortunately, I'm coming to you with my lowest level character, because he's the only one not involved in something.
So yeah, we should just seek out zombies and tag team for easy experience. Then, once we're higher level, we may want to become a bounty hunter duo, as that would be fun. We can collect the bounties on Player Killers (Survivors who kill other survivors), or particular zombie threats.
How does this sound to you?
-
i searched the area in a church
and yeah that sound sick. just like post when your up for playing if im on i'll prolly be down to play.
-
I'm trying to get to your position, but stuff keeps happening to that character. Please be patient.
-
Okay, I'm in front of Highton, but...I'm a zombie. Yeah, I've been killed. Don't worry, I won't attack you, I'm just going to stay as a zombie though. We can either still work together, or go our seperate ways.
-
well i dont know what to do in this game i havent logged in in like three days haha so lets stick together
what do we do?
-
Are you in Highton Building or Himbury Hotel? Or where are you? Wherever you are, tell me, then smash the barricades so I can get in easily. We'll go from there.
-
im in the hotel. how long do i have to smash the barricade for it to do anything?
-
Until parts of it collapse. It'll say how strong the barricade is. I can get in if you bring it down even to lightly.
-
k i brought it from very strongly to quite barricaded and im out of points
-
XFD. Someone revived me because I was standing at a revive point right next to the hotel! I'm in anyways.
-
k sick. then i guesss tomorrow our adventures will begin!
-
Yesh.
-
Im in a cinema. Wanna come meet me?
-
What cinema? And what suburb? And who are you in game? And survivor or zombie? And what level?
-
Ummm I just started playing. Im a scout level one. My name is Kaisr because Kaiser was taken. I think the suburd is nixbank. Thats what it says at the top of the screen. Also whats your group called?
-
I have three characters. This one that I met Kwac with, called Bace. He's the weakest. Then my second strongest, Zombie Widower, is a member of Metal Fox. My strongest is also a loner.
Kwac, we need a name if we're going to work together. Kaiser, want to join our Bounty Hunting team?
-
Ummm Sure.
-
I think we should be called RInse and RIpeat. People may guess where we are from, but....eh.
-
Some guy killed me because he thought I was a zombie spy. Screw this, I'm staying as a zombie unless someone revives me.
Our first target is named John Blast. He's the one who killed me. I don't care if he's not a bounty; he deserves to die. He may still be in Dartside. Look around for him.
-
Is there some sort of map of the city?
-
he's a strong mofo...
-
How do you search for people?
-
i dont know, but i was in the building flask got killed at, and it tells you what has happened there since you last logged on, and John Blast said some shit to Bace (flask) about possibly being a spy cause he has zombie skills, and then he killed him...i'm out of points, i searched a few places but found nothing. Also, I got my first experience point! YAY...by hurting a zombie once, and wasting like 25 points attacking him.
-
Yeah I have 3 characters. I dont really like my zombie one. My zombie character is almost dead to.
Also I have a few Ex Points now Im just going around attacking zombie's.
-
Okay, here's a map of the suburbs, then you can click on a suburb and scroll down to see its map:
http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Suburb (http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/Suburb)
To search for people, you just have to go around to different buildings and see if they are there. If you see them, you can also add the to your contacts list, and if you see them again it'll tell you that they're there.
We need an HQ. I suggest Foxwell Auto Repair. You can look it up on the map of Dartside. In the meantime, just look around for John Blast and kill zombies for experience.
We'll operate out of Dartside for now.
-
I think we should form a "Group" but it would probable be better with a forum. Also I'm sending my two characters to dartside. If you guys want I can make a forum.
-
How many people are normally in these groups? If it's liek just gonna be the three of us we only like at most could havel ike a subforum here. But if its like some alliance thing go ahead with the forums.
-
I think one of the biggest groups in UD is around 200 members. Mostly what happens ( I think) Is that a group patrols one little area and makes sure no zombies go in it by gang raping any zombies found in it
-
1. Kaiser, if you have your characters in the same place, they probably will get deleted.
2. I suppose we could form a bounty hunting group. We should have forums, yeah. I would just make them on invisionfree.
3. Kaiser is right about the groups. They patrol certain areas and such.
4. As a bounty hunting group, we would track down people on the blacklists (Lists of bad people) of other local groups. We can operate out of a building/suburb. Probably where we are, just because it's simple.
I'll give a link to our new forums soon.
-
ok im at dartside, my name is vietnamese guy
i have another char called hitlerfromhell, dunno where he is
-
Yeah I realized a little earlier that you couldn't have two characters in the same spot.
-
Oh and I have forums set up.
http://s7.invisionfree.com/RI_alliance/ (http://s7.invisionfree.com/RI_alliance/)
-

Do you mind if we use this one? I know all the necessary boards and stuff we need. I'm the most experienced one. Please?
-
And Vietnamese Guy, you can join.
We'll decided on a base of operations soon. Everyone just stay somewhere safe for now.
-
I'm switching over and using my Zombie Widower character (second strongest) for this group. Bace is better as a zombie anyway. More info at our new boards.
-
Fine then...
-
Sorry. Plus we have a cool name now.
-
i cant post on the boards
-
btw, I'm "Guest" in the signup topic because I couldn't post
-
I'm Right outside Foxwell Auto Repair in Dartside. Place is barricaded.
-
I just got a Level 14 to join us. He's an RIer, Hydrox.
-
Were not running out of Dartside anymore. We were the only humans in that area. Were running out of shackleville now.
-
I'm going to spend a few days ransacking Police Stations
-
Okay, start using the forums, guys.
