First time in a multiplayer game I've felt emotion.

[ReyDeLaLuna 6]

So I arrived at the airfield near Balota with around 5 zombies chasing me. I sprint into one of the hangars and see another player.

I yell into the mic that I need help. He proceeds to do so and starts picking of the zombies. I tell him don't worry about blood, that I'll bandage while he shoots.

This doesn't last. He drops. He died trying to save me. I feel bad, but there are still zombies everywhere. I run out of the hangar and prone in the bushes next to it. The zombies deaggro and I'm back exploring the landing strip.

I then find a hatchet in one of the smaller buildings and equip it. I decide to head back to the hangars, where homeboy got killed. As I turn the corner, I freeze in fear. There is another player, this time with a submachine gun. I yell that I'm friendly, that I won't hurt him, that I'm cool. He doesn't respond, but there is something wriggling on the floor in front of him. The person stands up, and he kills them.

I think to myself "he just shot the guy that killed me, I'm next". I charge in with my hatchet and bury it in his face several times, killing him. At this point I realize the mistake I had made.

He had actually killed a zombie. The guy who tried to save me was surrounded by zombies, that this new guy had killed, trying to save him. And in front of the new guy, was another zombie. I didn't know zombies were able to crawl, and had assumed the person who got up and had been shot was another player.

I can't describe how bad I felt for killing this dude.

His name was "Garrett", and if you're reading, I'm sorry.

On the same token, I'm glad I felt bad and that an exclusively multiplayer experience was even capable of making me feel any kind of emotion aside from satisfaction of winning.

I've been playing for 2 days now and this is just one of a few crazy stories I've had.

Big thanks to the Devs for having the balls to think outside the box and make the game me and all my gamer friends have been talking about forever.

I have one of those dirtbikes, when I see a player without a weapon I stop and give them my rifle, I give them a ride, then leave.

Death in eve is 50 times less painful than death in day z. Lost my faction battleship? O well got another in my hanger.
