Ah, my ridiculously circuitous plan is one-quarter complete!
Hello there, friend. You look bored. Are you tired of the internet? Perhaps MySpace/Youtube has let you down, getting boring you might say. Afterall, you don’t want to end up on Dateline, you sick little paedophile you.
You need a little spice, in the form of massively multiplayer online role-playing game set in a quarantined region of the fictional city of Malton dealing with aftermath of a zombie outbreak. You need a little Urban Dead.
It’s the perfect game. It has that important quality of being easy to pick up and play. And it always leaves you in that “just one more turn” mode. What more could you want from a game that only takes about 5 minutes a day to play.
Anyways, if you do decide to try it out don’t be a Doctor. I picked a Doctor and it’s been hell. I figured in a post-apocalyptic scenario, what could be more awesomer than a man of science, a Doctor. But it’s taking forever to level up.
Also some important links,
- Urban Dead Wiki – For any questions you might have
- Urban Dead Map – You’re going to get lost
If you still haven’t decided to try it out, Urban Dead was even mentioned in the NY Times. I thought that might convince you. Just click here to begin. And if you see rince tragic, watch out. I’ll hit you with an axe and heal you afterwards, for the experience points you see.

Its a pretty neat little game, I just wish there was a little more depth to it. The most surprising thing is the community built around it, with lots of people coordinating strategies through various means outside of the game.
Some hot tips: make the game easier to play with some greaseMonkey scripts, linked from here http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/UDWiki:CommunityPortal#GreasemonkeyScripts If you get killed, the Revive Radar helps you spot the nearest revive point. The UD item sorter organizes things into a more usable list, seperated by type.

UrbanDead is especially fun for people who have limited mobility due to accidents
