I pretty much agree. I haven't been playing long, but I will say that the thing I love most about the game so far is stalking around the woods, safely avoiding the towns and other players and zombies, and then slowly sneaking up into small buildings and farms and such that I come upon in my travels, looking for loot. Not having zombies in the woods allows the anticipation and anxiety to build the closer I get to these buildings. To me, the forests are a place of near-safety from zombies, where the real threat is happening upon other players who might be looking for a fight. If zombies started showing up everywhere, it'd kind of ruin the whole feel of the game for me.
