Looking for more ideas to add onto a Zombie MMORPG game

[rob312]

I was wondering anyone had any creative ideas about a Zombie Survival MMORPG game? Like one that would resemble a mix of...The Walking Dead (T.V show), Resident evil (console game), and World of Warcraft (MMO)?



It would have the leveling and endgame of WOW, the monsters and horror based storyline like Resident evil (but not about it), and the Isolation/survival aspects of The Walking Dead.

As for a targeting system it couldn't be like WOW's click/target and shoot. It would have to be more like Tera's.



Now i don't have any plans to have these idea's set into motion any time soon haha, but i'd still like to keep this going.

I have a lot already written down already but i'd also like to hear any idea's you guys have if you want to share, thanks!

One thing that should be plainly obvious - it can't be survival horror and be like WoW. If you're able to respawn, in any way aside from making a new character, there's no real survival or horror aspect. That kills the Walking Dead vibe, too.

Your best bet? Take a look at what Neocron was like. Then add permadeath and zombies.

I hear you, but don't really agree with you. Simply having a large punishment to dying would be sufficient enough IMO.

There is a zombie MMO already in the making. Check it out: http://undeadlabs.com/class3/ (I guess Class 4 is the MMO)

I suppose you haven't played Kingsmouth New England in The Secret World? Lots and lots of undead citizens trying to eat your brain there.

1st off - seriously I better be able to pick to be a zombie. Secondly if i make a zombie character I want none of my abilities to work. Let me elaborate...
I will still get abiliites (e.g. savage bite, ferocious swing, acid urine, whatever) but when i click one to use it - it will randomly pick any of my abilities for me except the one i just clicked. There, that's how a zombie should work.

Play The Secret World. It is exactly what you are looking for. Zombies, Vampires, the Hollow Earth, Gouls, and Secret Societies all tossed in.

errm... zombies are braindead and slow, how should playing a zombie be remotely interesting?
You can't do anything else but walk and eat brains as a zombie ya know... otherwise you are no zombie

this mod is kinda cool, maybe you can get some inspiration from it.
