zombie spawn nests

[DeadManWalking2 27]

because there should be many more zombies in the cities than any server could sensibly handle, or would ruin game play. it makes sense that the majority of the zombie hoard are laying dormant somewhere. these places would be zombie nests. a zombie nest could range from a barn filled with stationary zombies all the way up to a full blown zombie dug cave system.

new zombies should spawn at the nests (which are randomly placed at surver reset or under certain conditions) and then venture forth into the world from there. meaning that zombies wouldn't randomly spawn right in front of you all the time.

underground cave systems could easily be randomly placed buildings as they would exist below the normal street level. these caves should end in a bottomless pit from which the zombies emerge. all zombie nests should be filled with stationary zombies that attack any player mad enough to enter. however attacking a nest would be a worthwhile activity for groups as there would be lots of player corpses and goodies at the end of the tunnel. possibly even some items that can only be found in a zombie nest tunnel.

I believe that zombie nests would be a believable thing for them to do, because in nature parasites are well known for altering the way the host looks and thinks for the benefit of the parasite. sometimes even causing the host to commit suicide. (isn't nature fun) therefor if zombies are creating nests there would very likely be some kind of parasite breeding facility or zombie activity.

this could possibly be used an excuse for some kind of zombie boss.

all this would give players some kind of mission to give themselves. (tool up, group together, attack the zombie nest and kick zombie but, then scarper with as many goodies as you can carry.)
