Port: 56261

An original role-play idea.

 

 

 

About:

Project Morbus is an idea orchestrated by a small team of Project Zomboid enthusiasts that aim to provide a realistic, yet cinematic and emotional role-play experience to Project Zomboid role-players. We've hand-crafted an original lore, along with journal mysteries, side-stories, and many quests that we hope you will enjoy and that it will further your immersion into the world we hope to build.  We're hoping to release the server in full-force sometime in the next month or two. But, in order to do that - we need support from anyone who's interested!

 

What we're looking for:

Any personnel who are experienced with literature (preferably English, although multi-lingual pieces would be cool) is always welcome! We're also looking for staff to help us run, such as Moderators and Event Hosts. Server costs have been covered, although if you're willing to contribute we can always take donors!

The world is unpredictable. It loves to project seemingly meaningless atrocities in order to provide complexity to our lives, though we strive for simplicity.

It is human nature to strive for simplicity. And, it was simple for a while. It was simple because all we had to do was look at our watches for the next train, or bounce a ball up and down for our leisure.

The world was simple.

But, of course, the world doesn’t run on simplicity. No matter how hard we try, it will always keep a warm bucket of hardship and despair behind its back like a mischievous child. It’ll place it just above a doorway and wait for you to step through into the darkness that is to come. And that’s exactly what happened that day… The day the bucket turned over and dropped its shit onto humanity.

 

We were alone in a world of madness.

 

The Event was prominent on plenty of radios, televisions, and computers. We waited. We waited until it came to ravage our town and turn our own neighbors against us like senseless apes. We waited until the stores burned, and the people perished; until we were all alone.

The streets were empty now, nearly two months in. We’d seen it for a while now, but thought perhaps it was a survivor we hadn’t met. The second floor of an apartment - it had glown each and every night. Eventually, one of us decided to enter, and found a small booklet with a pressed title in gold. It said “MORBUS.”

The owner was nowhere to be found. After retrieving the book, we scurried back to our encampment and the lights in the second floor ceased to function, as if they were never there at all. Though, none of us dared to search through the contents of the journal. It remained closed, and forgotten by us. How foolish of us…  Eventually, we were thrown out of the aforementioned encampment by a pack of those things, and so, the book was forever lost with the infected.

It was right around then when a poor squad left our newly formed safe-zone to retrieve it, from the depths of the abandoned neighborhoods of West Point. They, of course,  never returned. A second team was sent to investigate, only to find their bare, decaying bones, and not even their gear left to salvage. There was no book in sight. Rumors escalated to conspiracy theories. Perhaps the book included a cure, or a way out of all this. But we’ll never really know for sure, now, will we?

 

 

The days go by. It’s almost endless, but we’re secured within Fort Trenton-Benley. The military built the place up after Fort Knox fell. Now most of the us who’ve survived that disgusting phenomena reside here.

And those of you that join us?

Welcome.

 

TL;DR:

The world is ravaged by a worldwide virus that seemed to spread by rats. With most local government institutions abandoned, the people of Knox County are left in the dark - until one day a group finds a book called MORBUS. Marveled by its seeming ability to glow, they are puzzled and end up losing the book to a horde of Infected. The rest hide in a Quarantine Zone, known as Trenton-Benley. What will come of the book? What did it have in it? 

One day, it will be discovered.

 

 

Any questions? Post them here, ask in the discord, or contact me personally @darknano #0521.

Hope you like it!

Thanks! There's more to the lore in the discord! I'll be sending out notes explaining the server's lore in the eyes of survivors every once in a while to keep y'all entertained while we get this thing going!

Word is this server will involve sprinters?

I doubt it, sprinters are still a buggy teleporting mess unfortunately.

Phase zombies just is the next difficulty after sprinters.

Yes, they don't currently work with MP.  But I think a fix is coming or is in the works with testing on the latest IWBUMS version.  

[darknano]

We've tested out the sprinters with both close-proximity testers (US-based) and far-proximity (Australian and European). They do have a small problem with teleporting but so far aren't that big of an issue. The zombie count is low (lower than the default low actually) but have been configured so they're still a threat. Come join us! We're almost set.

Going to give this server a try, given some of the people who have signed up already I have a feeling this will be a pretty fun time.

[Reblar]

It's pretty good so far, also refreshing to have a server with a different take on zombies. Sprinters are buggy but it forces you to play differently.

[Berdryn]

Thing is, the runners kill you so quick and with my 60 something ping, I still got bit after the zombie was dead... died twice already.  I've been told you must re-apply each time you make a new character, even if it is streamlined with the sprinters.. its just a lot of extra tedium that isn't needed.

[darknano]

Project Morbus's mechanics are designed so one person cannot survive alone, as it would be in an actual situation such as this. Taking on one or two sprinters is manageable alone, but any more and you're screwed. The sprinters (and their glitchy-ness) allow you to stay on your feet at all times, thus any decision can become a life or death predicament. Stay frosty!
