    new player strategy - pointers needed

    I was doing pretty good today.... played for several hours, made it Waaayyy inland, but never could find a weapon besides stupid plumbers wrench. I had found a pack and food and water and good clothes... wandered into interior town and set off the zeds... lots of them. Of course they ran through whatever to follow my every zig and zag. Last week, if you ran upstairs, the zeds would get stuck in the bottom floor of a stucture.. so I tried that.. Well, four of them suddenly appeared in the upstairs room I was hiding in... they came right through the floor and walls! So I run, bleeding out... no time for bandages.. finally get far enough away.. start bandaging and start getting hit by another zed. and I'm unconscious.. damn. I'm learning what will set off the zeds and what won't and i guess I got careless, but the zeds sure seemed in larger numbers than I'd seen and fast, and nimble and aggressive... much more than what I'm used to. And of course, I got further with the guy who could never find an axe. Everytime in the last few days when I've had a fire axe and good stuff, only to have no ability to save and servers reseting me to the beach each time. Finally they've seemed to fix that as I stopped and started several times today. Too late for more today, but tomorrow.. I'll try again.. and this time, I'm not leaving the coast without a fire axe if I can help it. Damn Zeds. And no, knock on wood, I've yet to come across another player yet... but 99% of my week of playing has all been night games. Thanks for the tips!
