The War Z

[Reforged]

Its still in its pre-alpha stage. List of the features I know of so far;
- Crysis 2 style weapon upgrade system
- Special deadly "stem cell zombies" that appear at night and can be harvested for a cure to infection.
- Experience/Skill system that enhances medical, fitness and survival skills
- Hunger and thirst system like DayZ
- Honor system that defines you as a bandit or a lawman.
- Bounty system that has lawmen hunt bandits.
- Quest system that has players give quests to other players to gain gold and honor.
- Market system.
- When you die you lose all of your equipment and you're booted out of the game for three days. You keep experience.
- Ability to have your own little safe haven world where you store equipment.
- Ability to rent your own private server.

Theres some I've missed I'm sure and keep in mind this is just at pre-alpha stage.
Now, I am definitely going to buy this game when it comes out. Thats a given. What I'm grappling with is renting my own bandit free AF exclusive server. I haven't decided on that yet.

My decision would be based on:
a) How many people on this forum would be interested in participating.
b) How much it would cost.

Now if its expensive I'll probably need a pound a month (or 1.6248 US dollars) from each person who signs up for the server. Not particularly sure how I'd arrange that but whatever, I wouldn't do that unless I had to. I'd rather have everyone join for free.

Now, is anyone remotely interested? If so let me know because I need to judge how big a server I'd need to rent.
So far they're offering a minimum population of 70 and a maximum population of 150.
Seriously? I think it would be fucking awesome to have every person on this forum hunting zombies together. What can I say?
I'm sentimental.

... seriously? Nothing? This is a new realistic zombie mmo, thats never been done before.
This is practically the next Minecraft. Not a flicker of interest?

Looks pretty fuckin' awesome, man. Unfortunately, I don't really play MMOs... the amount of spare time needed is a thing I don't have

Oh no, its not like WoW. How much would that suck? No, its some good old fashioned FPS (or third person, if you like) action with a slant toward survival and procuring supplies.





This could easily turn out to be the best game of all time.

It does look really good. It isn't an issue of the style, it is an issue of internet connection.

I still live at my parents, because it helps me financially with uni and my Step Dad is a major cunt. He is a moron who is living in the past. I have to do several chores before gaining access to the internet... he doesn't realise how much I rely on it... I need it for my uni course, but he is too retarded to listen... anyway, I would play if I could guarantee that I wouldn't suddenly get cut off.

Well, let me know if you change your mind.
Its starting to look like people would rather build giant gold erect penises that shoot lava in minecraft than play this.
The worlds gone mad.
