Text Based Zombie MMO
September 21st, 2005
Urban Dead is a fantastic and superbly original MMOG that was created a few months ago by Kevan Davis, and which currently has around 85,000 registered players. To put it simply: it is a text-based zombie survival game that runs in any browser.
Um.. so I started this. I got in.. wandered to a police station.. and got inside to log out (its barricaded thus safe). Inside are like 20 ppl. I log out.. and when i log back in.. i see this:
Since your last turn:
* Zar said “we leave in 6 hours. i said this at noon,” (09-22 17:44 GMT)
* glyndwr said “I’ll meet you at the powerplant, I cant come with you due to time difference. If I dont see you guys within 5 days, I’ll consider you all dead.” (09-22 17:49 GMT)
* Arkie Scott said “Be warned, there are reports of a zombie horde, 70 strong, in Pimbank.” (09-22 17:49 GMT)
* glyndwr said “By the way, the mass of Zombies to the South are the Many, and that is a fact. They’ve been roaming aorund Peppardvill for the past few days, 50 survivors dead a night. I suggest we all go to the Powerplant.” (09-22 17:50 GMT)
* glyndwr said “And in the North-West are hundreds more Zombies, finishing off whats leftof DARIS. DARIS guys are evacuating to Millen Heights, and the Zeds will follow them. The DARIS players are going back to their Many accounts, thats why the Many are back in the game” (09-22 17:54 GMT)
* McMuffin said “where *is* the powerplant, anyway? what district is it in?” (09-22 17:55 GMT)
* glyndwr said “Oram Walk is still open for business. Maybe we should go there instead. I dunno.” (09-22 17:55 GMT)
* McMuffin said “where *is* the powerplant, anyway? what district is it in?” (09-22 17:56 GMT)
* glyndwr said ” the one in Dentonside. The most direct route leads us straight at the Many. A good idea would be to move up to Gibsonton and Oram Walk, the down to Paynterton, then continue to the powerplant. Just going to OW is easier, safer, and wecan do our own thin” (09-22 17:59 GMT)
* A flare was fired 12 blocks to the west and 3 blocks to the north. (09-22 18:47 GMT)
* A flare was fired 1 block to the west and 14 blocks to the north. (09-22 19:17 GMT)
* Zar said “he is right it is in dention side. lets coudinate our efforts oince we know who all is in the quest.” (09-22 21:25 GMT)
* Clayton McKinnon said “I’ll go, but after a fruitless ammo search I’ll have only 12 AP and 6 @#$%^&*! bullets. My AP should recharge some by 6.” (09-22 21:27 GMT)
* woeisme said “i just came from that direction but i’ll go back - i got out of Boutcher Alley PD when the Many were chewing on some people in the Giddings Mall, they seem to have been drifiting east though, i think they started in Shearbank, so Dentonside could be next.” (09-22 21:31 GMT)
Um… AWESOME.
