My first day.

[JamesR 74]

Just played for the first time yesterday. About a minute after I spawned another player came running at me and was promptly eaten by 5 undead. I used this distraction to escape towards some buildings. Then wandered around for 20 minutes searching for a weapon. Finally found a hatchet, a jerrycan, toobox, and highway flares. I then made for the treeline hitting some powerlines and following them thru the woods. Then came out on an open field with a building near a road at one edge. Started towards it when I noticed two zombies shambling around. I then went prone and crawled into position behind the nearest one quickly dispatching it with a single hatchet blow to the head. Attempted the same with the second and it got one good swipe in on me before I killed it. Quickly bandaged myself up and found no loot at all in the building.

I then made my way down the powerlines about half a k to a smallish powerplant. Surveying it from outside the perimeter I noticed a ladder on the side of the main building. I hurridly climed it to the roof to get an idea of the surroundings. That's when I saw him. A lone survivor lying crippled on the ground outside another building next to two dead zombies. He grimmly clutched his hatchet as another creature lurched towards him. Swinging franticaly at it's legs as it clawed him. If fell to the ground dead. He tried to crawl away but succumbed to his injuries before I could get to him.

After climbing down I searched his body. Finding only a hatchet a can of beans and a blue glowstick. Then I noticed an open door and went inside. Two piles of ammo right inside the door along with painkillers. To the left was a staircase. As I climbed the first flight of stairs I slipped and fell. I think my ankle is broken but I soldiered on. The second landing held a Czech backpack which I took as my own. On the top floor I saw something that brought tears to eyes. An M4 carbine and 3 full mags!!

I then hobbled towards the town I could see in the distance shooting a few zombies along the way. The first building I came to was a grocery store! Found food, bandages, pain killers, and matches!!

I then decided this was a good stopping point and logged out for the day. This has been the most nerve wracking gaming expeirience I've had in a long time. It's also THE zombie game I've been waiting for.

So you logged out in the supermarket?!!

Decent start none the less!

The super market is a dangerous place to be :o

James one of the first rules my mates told me is not to log out at places where you can find loot. always go into the forest, otherwise you can spawn near a players who might (or might not) kill you.

Sooo, you spawned west of elektro. Made your way roughly NE. Found the powerplant, and then the firestation. Then you made it to the grocery store.

All without getting sniped. Well done. You seem to be enjoying exploring, I won't spoil that. Just keep your head down in that town. Becareful when you spawn back in. The grocery is a popular place and thar M4 makes you a big threat/easy loot.

I don't think I can make it back to the treeline. My limp is pretty bad and there are so many undead. I'm sure I'll die shortly after respawn but it's a lot of fun.

Limp? Lol your leg is either broke and you are crawling or you are fine.

[JamesR 74]

Hmm I have a broken bone indicator but am still standing just walking slower with a lot more head bob.

The market and hospitals are terribly dangerous to respawn in. Good luck.

Shock and blood loss, you need meat or a blood transfusion, shock will wear off over time.

Trust me, if you had a broken bone you would be crawling right now.
