Zombie MMO

[freebiewitz]

Well there are alot of mmo's out there but any good zombie ones?
Urban dead is fueled by the players themselves which is awsome but the game is only text based and it can only go so far.
Dead frontier is slightly better in terms of tech. Its a browser based zombie game sorta like runescape so what do you guys think?

I did'tn know there zombie MMO's out there O_O

A zombie MMO set in modern times in a Fallout 3-style.. would be.. amazing..

I don't know of any, but my dream is a Zombie MMO where you either control throngs of the undead, or command survivors to scavenge supplies and hold out. That'll beat horde vs. alliance anyday.

im what context is that an MMO? sounds more like an RTS like the command and conquer games.

 

[theCMNDER]

Games companies have banded together and decided to never make a zombie MMO because it would be too badass and no one would ever buy another game again.

Surely everyone knows that?

 

[Rogue of Hearts]

I would love to have both a zombie inspired MMORPG/FPS or a RTS inspired by the walking dead. There are plenty of mods and custom maps for existing games mimicking such a scenario but having an MMO where there are enough zombies for EVERYONE to kill at any given time would be a real pain.

Thousands of player controlled human survivors trying to stay alive as thousands of player controlled zombies try to eat their brains sounds an awful lot like an MMO...

yes that would but he made it out to sound as thou you would be giving orders to groups "command survivors" "control throngs of undead" that sounded to me like an RTS

 

[Stevo1230]

I do know of a 3d mmo called Z-day being developed, though it's still in its alpha stages right now, I believe.

Just make the "PC Zombies" special zombies, like the Infected you play in L4D. This allows you to introduce a class system to Zombies. PC classes are determined by "Profession".

Sample Ideas - Character Classes:

Survivors - Survivor's don't have classes so much as "backrounds" that determine their strengths and starting abilities. Survivor PC's increase various abilities by using them, their profession determines their starting level with certain skills and the rate at which those abilities improve

Street Rat: Stealth and/Or Scrounge abilities
Doctor: Crafting medical supplies
Biker: Engineering Skills/Melee
Policeman: Guns

Or alternativly, you could use a Fallout Creation method that allows Human players to tag certain schools and construct their own "Class". On second thought, this probabl works better.

Zombies - Zombies are more like traditional MMO Classes. They have an archetype, they level up by consuming genetic material - Flesh, Brains. Brains are worth more genetic material of course. This Genetic Material "experiance" lets the zombie level up.

Hulk Zombie: Some type of big, tank monstrocity, super strong, but slow. Cannot use doors or enter buildings without smashing down walls/doors.

Chaser Zombie: Some sort of fast, super agile zombie. Fast but weak, can climb walls, possibly superjump. Think "Hunter" from L4D.

Intelligent Zombie: A weak zombie that still partially resembles a human, but grotesque and/or decayed. Can use tools and weapons and command pet 'mook' zombies in combat.

....hmm, guess I gotta design one now.

Maybe he meant it as more of an MMORTS. Each player has a few groups of troops. Each zombie group is like 5-10 zombies, each survivor group is 1 survivor. There are MMORTS's. So yea, that might be what he meant.

yes perhaps, thats would be a new concept but It could work.

[Cazza]

DayZ for Arma II is probably to closest zombie MMO you can get right now. It's still early days and it's very inforgiving but finding nice loot feels so rewarding.

Zombies are already old news...
