Some noob questions

[rosebud 35]

1) Can I run more then one character? If so how please?

2) how do you trade? Simply leave it on the ground?

3) Since this is alfa I am assuming that duct tape, matches, wood and the like are useless...am I right or wrong?

4) How do I fill my canteen from a well or is it even possible at this point?

5) Game seems fairly easy (not to many zombies inland and very few other players) am I on the wrong server?

 

I know I'm being a noob but the answers would help, thank you in advance.

1) Can I run more then one character? If so how please? You can have 1 regular, 1 hardcore, 1 regular experimental server and 1 hardcore experimental. If you're thinking "Can I have a mule?" No

2) how do you trade? Simply leave it on the ground? Yes, leave it on the ground, unless you're trying to trade disinfectant into another players stomach...

3) Since this is alfa I am assuming that duct tape, matches, wood and the like are useless...am I right or wrong? Right

4) How do I fill my canteen from a well or is it even possible at this point? Equip water bottle/well, walk up to pond/well and it should say "Fill canteen/water bottle" then press F. If it just says drink then use the scroll wheel.

5) Game seems fairly easy (not to many zombies inland and very few other players) am I on the wrong server? As far as players, yes. Zombies, no.

Edit, sniped by Jack. Cheers :D

 

1. This aint no multibox your ass off game. It's survival and you are meant to have one character. If killed you start at noob spawn with no loot.

2. You can leave it on the ground or you can switch items between player inventory if close enough.

3. Alfa ? is this l33t gramma ? Someone else will need to be more specific about this. Currently, duck tape has no uses that I know of however, just like Dayz Mod I would assume that in future you'll be able to bind ammo magazine together and restrain people etc. Matches + Wood + Stone are to make fires. I'm pretty sure I saw someone make a fire at a petrol station and blow it up in videos but that could have been dayz mod.

4. I have not been able to fill canteens from water sources. However, you can fill those plastic bottles up at ponds etc.

5. Easy lol. Wait till you break a leg and swarm of Zombies comes after you.... Or you stop for a second to do something and bang your dead! Seriously though, on a full server its not that easy specially when you spawn and come up against kitted out players with guns n shit and as for zombies, im pretty sure they did reduce the numbers for stability reasons until things are optimized.

Oh and wait until you get lost and cant tell where you are (even with map) :P

 

I'm pretty much a nub buts that's what I've learnt so far.

Canteens work in the same way as the plastic bottles.

Put in hand, approach the water well, then mouse scroll to fill bottle.

You can also get yourself some fuel by hitting the gas station with your Fireaxe, then you can use the fuel for the Gaslamp for example
