Time for a second review.
I logged on a server at a 1 AM and I got into the game directly this time. No long waiting, no disconnecting and some more or less empty servers.
The game is really atmospheric and scary at times. I was trying to meet up with someone and just running along the road is fun. I came upon a village and I wanted to scavenge some stuff. A few metres in the village I heard my first zombie, didn't see anything though. I got scared and turned back to make a circle around the village. To one side of the village was a scary dark forest, I heard more zombies in the shadows but could'nt see shit, so I went around the other way. The beach side had a warehouse I had to pass by, I saw a zombie inside and had to sneak past it, got some OK items on the way. Then I met up with a friend who just came out of one of the major cities, that place was a warzone, bandits everywhere, shots being fired non stop. We decided to swim for an island and make our little base there. We raided a little fishing house and killed 2 zombies in the process.
After playing again with no problems and friendlier players, I can say this mod is really worth a try. They update it constantly and it would be great to have a little cRPG community within the game. I don't trust strangers anymore after being shot 3 times.
