I definitely think a lot of PZ players have wanted to do similar things in-game. The problem however is that in the series the people at Woodbury lived there and there were guards 24/7. That's literally what it takes to safeguard a place full of gardens and other goods in PZ multiplayer right now. That's just not very feasible or enjoyable (imagine if your role in a group was to be guard and you had set times to log in and stand guard, not very fun eh?), there's always got to be some balance between fun (its a game) and simulation (realism). So I think unless locking mechanisms (for containers and doors) and traps against players (or NPC guards?) are implemented it'll be hard to avoid having a "Woodbury"-like place from getting ransacked often, especially when admins are offline. You might have gotten the idea that "The Outpost" will be like a Woodbury (and if not I'll clarify anyways). But since we can't have guards 24/7 and there is only 2 admins thus far, there won't be any loot stored at the outpost or spaces given to people to settle in. It'll be barricaded fairly well, have some farming patches (gardens) that anyone can tend to, and one or two rain barrels. It'll be mainly aesthetic and serve as a spawn location and for the majority of events. Now, that's not to say we'll stop people from settling in. If the survivors are willing to make the outpost their home, they'll have the admins' protection (if there any online). But it will still be primarily up to the outpost dwellers to protect their claims (so no one goes complaining to us when their home gets looted). I was just saying how cool it'd be. Plus, I've played on other large servers where survivor camps have been established so it's not impossible or 'unenjoyable.' I understand your point, however. It would be difficult to defend, but it's fun to try, even if it doesn't last long.

Sounds like an awesome server! I'll definitely want to try it out when it's up. I have this dream of creating a survival camp out of a neighborhood, like block one in, and everyone has their own gardens in their backyards and stuff; kinda like Woodbury, from the Walking Dead. Haven't found a good server where I can accomplish this, however.

Is the server down?

Great server! Friends and I have an awesome base set up.

Nice server. Haven't met anyone yet, though.
