Its been down for 2 straight days, probably gone.

I like how it is dangerous enough people actually form groups outside of their designated roleplaying group.

How come you can sow seeds on this server?

Uniform zombies isn't about "realism," it spreads out the zombies so you prevent death hordes from camping on a town. If you have zombies with a single strong sense they will start to congregate on where the players actually are and not based on an imaginary population that never existed. This also addresses your high zombie count issue. Also there are no hordes anymore, i can run up and down the towns screaming and not care about getting killed because it is just empty. There is still so much water I can get by without a rain barrel. Dehydration and starvation are the only things that will force people to start grouping up once the zombies are mostly dead and the server is not being reset. And since farming doesn't work, and zombies are not a threat... Zombie apocalypse is supposed to make surviving a hassle. Keeping building material isn't much of a problem compared to ammo and gun hoarding. Gameplay issues are causing people to want to role play elsewhere. Half the people I ran with before the server ip address was removed from this thread are gone. Its quickly becoming a glorified chat room.

I don't want to tell you what to do for your server but as a regular I highly suggest: -Uniform zombie distribution so people can't just setup camp in the boondocks and avoid the cities until they are strong enough. -Higher zombie count than the current one -Best hearing with weakest navigation, slowest speeds, poor eye sight and whatever smelling. That combination seems to make a much more dynamic map in my experience. -Longest electricity would be cool too because right now the lack of electricity doesn't add much besides boredom. -High heat and low rain chance. -Bedford falls map would be a temporary boost to activity and help prevent the other bedford falls servers from stealing all the newcomers, more area to explore would also lessen the need for resets. -People holding onto items (ammo/nails) from previous resets are really screwing with the game because they can setup new safe houses and start looting instantly after reset. -Maybe turn on the skull icon when players turn off safety. -Also maybe do something about the whitelist application, some people might be more natural role players than story tellers. The server administrating is pretty great.

Server is mostly stable now. There were very few trolls before the whitelist and none now. There is a lack of danger, environment or zombie. Population could use a boost.

I'm talking about users who are cheating, not admins spawning stuff for users.

Anyway to see in the logs if people are cheating to spawn items, or do I physically have to follow people?
