Yep.  I have seen some characters performing vaguely human-like actions, but that stops after a couple seconds.  The thing is, they don't re-sync, so they remain under AI control for as far as you're concerned.

Flash was never meant for multiple players...  If he really wants this thing to go into the multiplayer arena, he's probably going to have to rewrite the whole damn thing under a different environment.

[Cthulhu]

I don't know who would be dumb enough to try this.  Why would I play this boring, fake multiplayer game, when I can play almost identical but fleshed out and more detailed games by myself?

Plus, Left 4 Dead is coming out soon, and it's going to own any zombie game that's ever been made.

[Kagus]

Uhmm....  Cooked french fries?  Cooked pizza?  Cooked frozen vegetables?  

The fact that I can't find any other free zombie-based MMO?

And bringing up Left 4 Dead is a cheap shot...  Of course it's going to surpass every other zombie game, it's going to surpass every other game!   But only once I'm in a place and time where I can't play it all day like I want to...

Dammit, when is it coming out?

But yeah, if you can suggest another zombie-based multiplayer game that I can play for free, please do...   I need all the zombie-smashin' goodness I can get, especially if I can save someone else's life while I'm at it.

Expected release date is like November 11th, but Spore's projected release date was what, 2005?
So who knows.

Does it bug anyone else that frontier is misspelled?

Yep.

EDIT:  Heh, I just imagined someone trying to do a Gordon Freeman impersonation by playing a doctor, wearing metal armor, and wielding a crowbar.

IT BUGS ME!

[Kagus]

What bugs you?

Anyways, I just had the pleasure of experiencing my very first aggro attack...  Hah hah, damn...  Everything's going alright, I'm picking off fatso zombies left and right, and the little kiddies don't even get to come close to me.  And then I see miss blubber-in-a-pink-suit start jogging...  Towards me.

It was at this time that I noticed that there were no other survivors around...  And then I see another shape in the darkness, another fattie...  And then another.  And another.  and then the normal zombies start appearing, except they're not acting normally, they're running faster than I am!  

So I hit the "F*** This" button and ran for my life.  Things looked better on the next screen, so I sat around there for a bit.  And then the rest of the AI bots disappeared again...  And then the zombies got excited again...

After a few screens, my "F*** This" button is starting to show some wear.  At least I show up at the screen right outside the outpost.  Home Sweet Home...

And there they are, the cluster of AI bots wandering aimlessly around.  Except they're not wandering aimlessly...  They're shooting...   They're shooting at...

Oh hell that's a lot of them.

Well, I managed to kill off a zombie woman who was chasing after me and then dodge past the football line of three fatties and their brood of zombie children to make it back into the real safety of the outpost...  *Phew*.

EDIT:  Aw, hell no...  Got cocky and stayed out for the aggro...  With all my cash in my pocket...  I got mobbed five feet from the outpost entrance and ripped apart.

Welcome to life as a zombie Kagus.(seriously there is no way you could get out of that alive if this game had just a little more dedication to zombie cannon)

[Kagus]

I believe you mean "canon", but cannons are always nice.

You know, I was wondering something...  The inventory causes the map you're on to reload, so what happens if you open it when you're being mobbed by zeds?  Do they disappear?

I'm going to try that next time I find myself in a sticky situation...  I'm not going to actively seek one out (I already learned my lesson about that...  Damn, it may just have been $315, but it was all I had), if I happen into one I'll make sure to try every cheap trick I can to get out alive.

[Tahin]

It doesn't let you I out if you're being actively chased, but if you can get a moment away from the mob, it works pretty well.

EDIT: Oh, and I have a hatchet and a hunting knife for sale, if anyone's interested. I also have a bunch of low-level food, but I don't have that set to be for sale at the moment.

Right now im pretty much leveling my char so i can use the chainsaw and have a bit of fun with the zombies.

[Torak]

At level six, I have been doing FAR runs to the southeast to loot all I can.

[Future]

Yesterday i almost got to what they call "Death Row", i got roughly 3/4 the way there to find myself cornered by a fat red zombie who pummeled me to death (one punch actually). Not my greatest run considering how long it took me to get that far.

[Kagus]

I've never even left the "Newbie Zone" yet.  I didn't think it was wise, considering my current equipment and ability to use it.

EDIT:  I should've been a farmer...

Yeah, I'm considering starting over as a class that's actually useful, now that I know how to play. Maybe a scientist... they get free healing supplies.
