I think it really all depends on the server and who is connected to it. A group of us was in Berezino, or in the surrounding area, this past Sunday night for a good 3-4 hours. We never saw a single survivor the entire time.

Figure he's probably AFK taking a piss break, shrug my shoulders and move on.

Fix it....wow, the game is in the Alpha stages. That means you signed up to test bugs. This isn't a demo, this isn't a finished product. It's an A L P H A... I've died to some odd BS before: Zombies teleporting to the third floor OUTSIDE of the building and killing me on a ledge. Zombies killing me by swiping at me through a wall. Zombies killing me by swiping at me through the steps beneath me. Getting disconnected while standing on the edge of a building looking down at zombies that were chasing me, logging back in and I'm on the ground with a broken leg and almost dead. Bugs happen, it's an Alpha. In case nobody has made it clear yet...It's an Alpha.

It's day 7, we've been surviving out in the wilderness in the small town of Krasnostav for days now. A few of us managed to gather up some supplies and ammo from a local grocery store while the remaining members were able to gather meat from a nearby cow at the NE airfield. Scared and not quite sure where to go next, Murphy and I set out west to see what remaines of Devil's Castle. The rest of the members are too tired or scared to continue on, so they've made camp in the woods near Krasnotav. Before we set out, we hit the airfield one more time. Luck is on our side today, We find a Sniper Rifle and a Coyote pack. This should give us plenty of room for whatever we find at Devil's Castle. As Murphy and I make our way west we hit several small towns and farm houses. There are no survivors. Only the mindless horde. We can hear their groans as we hunker down in the barn waiting for them to pass by. Our plan is to hit a nearby woods to steer clear of any main towns or roads. If we're lucky, maybe we'll find a deer stand or two with some supplies, perhaps a rifle. We found a nearby deer stand, sadly there was nothing in it. Either someone emptied it before we got here, or it's been abandoned for some time now. We continue on to Devil's Castle. It's just over yonder, up the hill, so far, there are no signs of life. Devil's Castle turned out to be another dead end-more mindless zomibes and very few supplies. Murphy and I make a quick call that we are going to press on, despite our groups request, to the NW airfield. There have been rumors that bandits have taken up that area, but if we're going to find better gear, this is the place to go. We head SW towards the field hiding in the tree line in hopes that no bandits spot us. We've devised a plan that I will stay back and provide lookout using the Rifle while Murphy enters the base. It's 2:15pm. Murphy's ransack on the Barracks at the NW airfield turned out to be for naught. Knowing that we risk a great deal, we head in further. I have taken up a spot in the fire station. Here I have a great view of most of the airfield. I can see if any bandits are on the field or nearby. I'm tired and hungry, We haven't eaten since morning and my stomach is starting to growl. As I keep watch on Murphy, I notice the Barracks door is opening and closing. Could someone be in there? Is this a sign for help? Or are bandits messing with us? As I focus my sniper rifle more, I see that my eyes are playing tricks on me. It must be a reflection from the scope that makes it appear that the door is open or closed depending on how I hold the rifle. Fearing that I may not be providing the best cover, I reach into my pack and pull out some beans and a canteen. As I finish, I double check Murphy's position-he's at the last hangar, but luck is with him this time. He finds an M16 with some ammo. Wait...I....feel.... <BANG!> His name is Mike... i'm not sure where he came from or how he got up here on the 3rd floor lookout. As I reach out and close his eyes, it's clear that he has been scavenging for a while, like us. I don't know why I shot. Maybe it was my own selfishness not wanting to lose what our group has worked so hard to achieve. Have things degenerated into such a state of chaos that we're now killing anyone who even looks like a threat? I feel a knot developing in the pit of my stomach. We made it back to the woods outside of the airfield. I had to take out a few of the infected on the way out who heard my sniper shot, so Murphy and I have decided that it's best to leave before bandits show up. As we head out, I feel a sudden surge of guilt. Murphy keeps telling me I did what I had to. This is how we survive... To Mike...I am sorry, I hope you understand, it was nothing personal...

Thanks Kawa and Red. :) I really enjoyed typing that up. It's been a while since I've been able to get immersed in a game like this.

Up at the NE Airfield, there is no rubble blocking the ground entrance to the ATC Tower. There are only 2 hangars there, but so far that area has been good to me.

Burro, your story totally inspired me to type up my adventure from last night in a post titled "Day 7...Guilt" I really love it that there are others who feel bad shooting complete strangers, yet at the same time, know they may very well have been killed had they not. I'm also just starting to catch up on "The Walking Dead" series, so I'm really getting into this mod. :)

I just found a Silenced M9 and a Coyote pack. They are there, just probably really random. I found my stuff up at the NE airfield. In hangars and in the ATC Tower.

Thanks for the support all! I'm having a blast with this mod. I hate to shoot on site but at the same time I know full well that I'm a high value target with a large pack and sniper rifle. So far we've been lucky and I've only spotted one person in Krasnostav. Sadly he didn't last long and soon got overrun by Z's. (That's what happens when you do a full sprint through town...) Either way, he provided us with a GREAT distraction. I love Krasnostov and spend most of my time there, at the airfield, or at Berezino. I know my luck won't last forever, so I'm having a blast with what I have now. And nice diary entry there Dead. :) Sadly, he did have his AK74 out when he spawned on me. Which is kinda why I didn't exhaust too much time. I'm farily certain the guy was still loading in when I shot him. :(
