It wouldn't work. Zombies are, for all intents and purposes, a hive-mind, and, being zombies, their intelligence is... limited, to say the least, so you wouldn't be able to quest, or do what you wanted to do, like in every other MMO. So no, I don't want to see one.

What I do want to see, however, is a Sins of a Solar Empire-style MMORTS, in that every player starts off controlling one planet in a massive galaxy, and branches out from there.

Theres your zombie mmorpg. Its surprisingly fun aswell since its all about suvival and not making your character into an ultimate killing machine of death running around single hitting zombies and laughing as his pockets chime with gold.

Allow players to create or join settlements and then have to restock a dwindling food/water/ammo supply and investigate the source of the virus and you'd have a whole bunch of missions ready made.

The whole point of Zombie survival is to be a select few survivors up against the horde. When you have 2000 players teabagging each other and camping rare zombie spawns, that feeling goes right out the window.

No.

There does not need to be an MMO for everything. MMOs are not the ultimate form of gaming, so stop treating it that way.

I think they already have. I can't remember the name, but it's pretty much text based with limited graphics. Someone probably knows what I'm talking about.
Urban Dead?

xD Im just saying its already happened, and there is a Horror-zombie MMO, infact, there has been for a while now. @_@ And not a simple text-based one either, lol. (nothing against urban dead, thats right fun as well) But if you mean an MMO game, with zombies, and Decent graphics, and trying to go for a more horror/scary motif, it has already existed for like the past 3 years or so.

*EDIT*
though I couldnt attest to how freaky it actually is. I don't think its possible to actually make an MMO(RPG) scary really... Well, besides the first time you get your ass eaten by a giant evil baby monster...

i played a game recently called Dead Frontier ...

it has some text based aspects, i.e when you are in the town.. like you trade supplies and stuff.. ok actually its not very text based at all, but when you go into the city its like birds eye view..

i cant describe it well but its pretty fun.. very good zombie mmo

I figure its about time someone created a full blown zombie mmo. What features/ideas would you include in one?
Be a litttle more spefic

are you the zombies ?

do you get to choose the Class of Zombie ?

is a major survival where if you die you become a zombie and have to fight your own guild of survivors ?

I've seen 10 threads about this in the past 2 days.

Also, yeah, sure, it'd be great if it was done well.

thats the point of this forum, which people dont seem to understand, to get ideas. and yet i love how they keep repeating the same things over and over again, it was established on page 1 that the textbased mmo was urbandead.

Okay here goes my idea's

You choose between human and zombie

Humans will have the advantage of being better at the start whiel zombies will beome more dealy as they level up

Humans get weapons and can build forts and etc etc

zombies can mutate and infect

there will be a wide variety of choices and classes of zombie

If a human gets infected they must either seek a cure or let zombifcation take place

but overall it will be a fight for the server

very simple idea so far

(narrator is a young but haggard female, speaking softly)

Visual: Black Screen

Narrator: It began with the plague. The dead walking?.eating..(choked up to the point where her words fail, momentarily)

Visual: Show ragged, bloody corpses rising up to shamble, then a man being pulled into a mass of dragging arms and teeth, just before being ripped apart, zooming out to show the whole city crawling with zombies.

Narrator: We tried to contain it. We failed.

Visual: Continue zooming to show the city from far above, with the shining star of a bomb falling on it, then the explosion erupts into a mushroom cloud and wipes the city away. ?we failed? comes as the blast burns outward and the screen blacks.

Narrator: Now, only scattered sparks of humanity remain.

Visual: Fade back in on survivor camps and people erecting barricades, manning the walls with guns, and watching the night fall.

Narrator: Now, more nightmares have risen from the dark to battle for control of our world.

Visual: Show a quick shot of a vampire leaping down on a person at night, a werewolf loping through a forest beneath a full moon, and a girl?s ghost floating hauntingly above a field of bodies.

Narrator: Our only hope lies with you; heroes. The last specks of light on this?Black?Earth?

Visual: Show humans gearing up, manning the walls of a settlement, firing into an advancing horde of zombies as two are trapped outside the gates. One draws a sword, the other a pair of pistols, and the camera finishes with a close shot of an advancing zombie?s lifeless face. As she says the line, fade out to an image of the earth at night, lit up all over, as the lights slowly wink out until all is black, and then the words BLACK EARTH rise from below to sit over the globe as it spins.
