Yeah, now that I've played it a bit the current system actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks guys.

So, I'm new to the mod, have played Standalone a bit. I find that the zombies in this version are very prolific and they seem to spawn right around you. Seems like it would be easier to not spend half my time running from them if the spawn rate were slightly reduced, or more spread out. I can't even sneak past them without one spotting me, and the chase is on...

They haven't sorting the basic things out, which again makes one wonder, why work on less important matters?

I bought it and I'd probably buy it again to support development, but in its current state it's hardly playable. Terrible server performance, a borked metagame that revolves around bandits and the KoS policies that most players adopt as a result... the mod is a bitch to actually get working correctly for me, too, so I'm devoid of Z at the moment until Standalone progresses beyond alpha stage...
