note that this is just an idea...

no missions, just survival. once your dead, you become a zombie. if you are incapped as a zombie but not killed, you become a crimson head. then after50 kills as a crimson head you become a proto-licker. then a countdown timer for 48 hours begins. you are weak with low damage and speed. when the timer completes, you become a licker with full combat capacity . after 300 kills, you become licker B with double combat caps from regular licker.

What reason would there be to choose anything other than a S.T.A.R.S. character? You get the best weapon, armor buffs etc. Each class needs detriments and bonuses that balance each other in light of the the other classes. Example: S.T.A.R.S and police officers get a bonus to gun usage, but ammo is very scarce/expensive, whereas the fire fighter and civilian get bonuses to melee weapons, but suffer a penatly to guns.

Also, if you're thinking a graphical MMO, you're looking at a ton of technical issues that have already been raised by the Revolutionary Zombie Game.

In other words, how accessible will it be to your average gamer?



That's all I can think of at the moment.

ill update it with debuffs to balance... and (with help) ill start up a website for it... most likely itll be text based because im no good with flash scripting...

Not to discourage, but there are already dozens of Zombie/Survival Horror games out there, text based or otherwise. In order to make one that's successful, it would need to really stand out. How it would stand out would be up to you, but just so you're aware.

random chance events. ill list a few once i have enogh to count. and percent-chances

why don't u go on byond cause there's a RE game almost like ur idea if u die u turn into zombies or hunters or lickers or a special boss if you've got enough kills

i have played it. the controld don work...

I like this~~ Maybe you could function as ALL NPCs after you die. You know, kind of like flood control. That'd be cool

nah... but level capped players have a chance of going tyrant... (epic win) main prob is if a human has detonator then you can be one-shotted. once health is critical you go super-tyrant, and heal to half with 5% more armor
