I agree with number 2. You can actually make it to the airbase no matter where you start. You WILL find food and water there. You WILL find opposition there. Play quiet and stay out of the open and you will be fine. There is no chance of survival for a new player on the coast anywhere. The stocked players always go back to the coast to shoot the easy targets. FEW stay in the cities and wait to combat other armed players. Path of least resistance is usually true. I can die and have everything back within a couple of hours. Take some risks learn some new things, see some new places. You will find it's not quite as tricky as it seems.

I will check it out! Thanks!

So as a fairly new player to this game it took me a bit to figure out how to survive. Really not knowing anyone that plays it I was on my own. I can tell you that you CAN survive on your own and do quite well. The problem is it get boring quick. Your left with little to do other than camp. I think that the solution to A keeping people from getting bored and B keeping people from killing each other on sight is to add about 100 times more zombies. The "herds" would force people to work together to clear areas and gather materials. I would certainly force people to use their guns on the zombies more. Thoughts?
