Sad story for me... A couple of nights ago I was coming down south to Elektro after a little adventure up north to find weapons. With my newly found shotgun I felt on top of the world. It took me a while but I finally emerged from the forest and found myself south west of the city. There in front of me was a town, which seemed all but normal. When suddenly I spot an unarmed man move slowly up the side of a fence. I lied down at the edge of the clearing and stayed there still observing what was happening. I didn't want to go any closer because the town he was in was surrounded by quite a number of infected. As he moves up further past the fence into the edge of town another player comes up beside him from behind a building carrying a pistol. They seem like friends so I continue to watch. They both make their way into the center of town, I believe they went into the large garage there. They suddenly came sprinting back out with 3 zombies chasing them. They attempted to make their way out of town but realized they were blocked off by more of the undead. Turning around they ran back into the town and disappeared from my view. After a minute the first man came back out with the zombies on his tail. Before he could make 5 meters from the barn his legs are broken and he hits the ground and zombies tear into him. As this happens shots ring out from further away as the other man attempted to fight off more of them. Failing he goes down near the other side of town. 5 minutes after they go down the zombies re-spawn making it safe to finally enter. I crawl through the hordes to the town and try to find the second man alive. I search the first survivor and realize he must have just spawned because he had nothing but the default gear. I continue through town until I get to the other side. I spot the area where the man went down and move closer. There was dead zombies around him, and he was still alive! His character was rolling side to side with blood coming out of him but he was still alive. As I ran over to him I started to patch him up, as I did this a zombie spawned behind me and charged. Sadly I never fixed him up, but I didn't die either. I was ping kicked. -.-

I can't believe you guys :O See this is why there's lots of bandits, because when someone gets shot they rage and get aggro against everyone else because they're afraid of dying and losing everything again. I've accepted the fact that there's a 40% bandit and a 89% shoot on sight population on the servers but if they don't mess with me I'm fine with them going about their business. I have never pulled the trigger on another player even when they seem hostile, and it has payed off. I'm now 2 days in and I'm heading up to meet some pals to go hunting for military equipment. Though I might not even use it, the guy I'm meeting with looted a medical chopper and I'm really going to just get some of that stuff off of him. Though I'm pretty lucky it seems. Shame on you all... :P

Hey guys, this may just be a thought at the moment but I think we can do it. The Protectorate of Elektrozavodsk will kinda of be a "un-organised" organisation of survivors who make Elektro safe. By that I mean we will have no particular leader for a while and we'll just have a presence on different servers. Basically let's say it's a no fire zone for non-bandit players. And to enforce that there will be a few people to look out for player killing and the likes. I don't expect anybody to care one bit about this but it's a something... I don't think that many people will risk staying there, but if you ever visit the place try not to shoot anybody. I at least will always be watchful of the city, no punk bandit will kill anybody while I'm here. Though after I'm gone go for you life. :D Ok this was a kind of leap of faith on my part, hoping there was still some kind and caring players out there that hate bandits and player killing. Be kind. :P I even made a anthem... Oh Elektrozavodsk Our city we protect, for it is our home, let all those who come to plunder and burn, be purged from this very soil, for we will protect everything sacred, walk on children of Elektrozavodsk, may you make us proud. I'll also have a song soon if you all are interested in some stuff, even if this little dream of mine never happens.

Hey guys, Direwolffe here. Both in-game and forum wise. Just like to say hi to all and please don't shoot me. :P I seem to be going quite well, I have all the supplies to live off the land, feeding on cows and collecting water from ponds. Living the life in an apocalypse... :D I mostly play on Aussie servers though I do go on the Seattle servers frequently due to me playing a lot at night and the game becoming too dark to see past 8PM.

Yeah same here, I've been playing it for a few days now. I've only died three times though and my current character is coming up on 7 hours in-game. I'm friendly, I wont shoot on sight, but if people get aggressive I will pacify the situation. I'm not like my brother, I don't start a large bandit gang and go hunting down innocent players. o.o I advise not to go close to others unless you're sure they won't harm you, like if they just spawned or are helping others they meet. Though that might be a trick to kill them and take their stuff... Just get some friends to play with you, best option. I've met 2 friendlies on my current adventure, one I saved at a barn near Cherno that was being chased (axes seem to be better than shotguns, at least in that case :P ), and another in Elektro. It was upsetting though that I let two people die in Prigorodky while coming south for some minor city gear. I just sat in the tree line and watched as they were assaulted by 10 infected... I only had 3 rounds in my shotgun and there were even more of them on the other side of town. It was either hide and wait or try to help and die. Those choices are really hard to make, I basically froze as I watched the guys legs get broken as he tried escaping. He then tried crawling for dear life as they ripped into him... D: The other guy tried fighting off a couple of infected on the other side of town with a pistol but got quickly over run. Slightly off topic I know... Other than that, great game and I hope we don't have a run in with each other that turns violent. xD
