If you like zombie MMOs, then youll like this. Fully Graphical shooter-Its only in beta now, so expect bugs.

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

I assume it's this? I don't see what's so 'MMO' or 'RPG' about it.

EDIT: Ah, I see. So is the game itself just a multiplayer version of the flash games, or what?

RPG - you have parameters, skills and levels; you have to eat etc.
MMO - you kill zombies with other players


I didn't get it - is the only way to gain equipment = real money?

That would be an odd money scheme.

Zombie MMO!

Pay money to be a human! Or be an easy-to-kill zombie if your a good-fer-nothing freeloader! Or pay money to be a heard to kill zombie!

More games need to have the same business model as Maplestory.

Well, you can find items and weapons in buildings, money just save your time, and you can't buy everything, just armor and weapons; and the main way to get items is player-trading.

Do you lose weapons too? I think not. Just money.

I remember playing the installments (nights 1, 2, and 3), but I've never tried the MMO.   The nights were fun, but I never really liked timed games.  This sounds interesting.

EDIT:  Okay, level 3 engineer with a pen knife, desperately trying to kill enough zombies in singleplayer to level up so his health can be reset to full...  He's critical at the moment.

EDIT2:  Fatass zombie came from the outpost and punched me into smithereens.  At least all my cash is in the bank.  Also, is there any way to turn down the volume without turning it off?

Doesn't work for me. I was able to register and log in, but all I get is the

menu and a big box with the zombie background in it. I can use the buttons but they do nothing except refresh the page.

Helmaroc-Yeah theirs alot of bugs now, as its still a beta. You should wait to play until they get fixed.

Kagus-Send Me a PM in the game if you need help, i can spare money and the occasional weapon, and I can heal you.

I'm almost sure this is a browser incompatibility. I can't run it properly on IE and it lags on Opera.

Mozilla Firefox is ok.
