replies: text: OMFG! Urban Dead made it into Wikipedia. I astounded. This be a great game.
Has anyone ever considered making a MUD based on Urban Dead?
There would be far less bandwidth involved, and it would probably be much more versatile due to the more interactive "live" interface. 
I don't know anything really about constructing/running a MUD, but if anyone's interested in this, please get in touch with me, because it'd be fun to organize a group to make something like this happen. My AIM screen name is "Gay Old Hobo", and my MSN is "analdisco@hotmail.com". --Disco 03:35, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I thought this might be significant enough to include as part of the UD community... dunno, though.

It can't really hurt. It's not like the links section is overcrowded. I'll stick it in, though it might be better to link to the entery page at http://www.graham-russell.co.uk/ud/index.php. --Snark365 (talk) 18:44, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Urban Dead Survivor Diaries 

message: "Player-killing"? Unfortunately for those used to the term elsewhere, it doesn't have it's full connotations in Urban Dead. PKing in UD is purely survivor vs. survivor, and the term may be more related to TKing. The problem with simply using TKing is that there are groups, as well as the survivor vs zombie conflict. Does TKing necessarily refer to, say, one member of the same group killing another, or is there a third term that needs to be invented for this sort of thing?
I had a rather indepth debate with an Argentinian friend of mine on the Urban Dead Wiki, but nothing really came from it. 60.227.18.35 02:45, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Does the PC version just have colored blocks on the map, while the Mac version has graphical depictions of the blocks, ie a hospital picture for a hospital block?  I've seen posts with pictures in them, but I'm on a PC and I've never seen them, so I'm wondering.  Thanks. - MSTCrow 02:18, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

like, 3 months ago it was suicide to join as humans and peopel woudl probly tell you to join zombies. it might help and i like to help and support suicide ideas for a game!--Cody6 02:29, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I joined as a human, and I've always worked at being human.  Sometimes it just takes awhile to get to revive points.  Also, some idiots just kill any zed they see. - MSTCrow 07:03, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  something to think of 

message: I've noticed a very large trend of getting rid of MMORPG pages lately. I see articles getting deleted which are about WELL established games that many people are talking about and playing all over the net. It seems like somebody feels like it's time to go housecleaning, and I find it worrisome. This Article should NEVER be nominated for speedy deletion. It's too well established, lots of people have been working on it, etc. To do a speedy delete on this article is a mistake. There are very large followings of these MMORPGs, some have hundreds of thousands of players (This one has tens of thousands) to say they are not notable is a major mistake in my opinion. If someone feels the article is inappropriate, fine, let's discuss it and maybe delete it, but a speedy delete? ...and with so many MMORPG articles being speedy deleted? It makes me nervous.

replies: text: This article is not a candidate for speedy deletion. It asserts it's notability. It's not a candidate for a serious prod because it is well-written and has sources, and it would most likely survive an AfD because those sources are what the other articles claimed to have but couldn't provide, multiple non-trivial mentions in reliable third party sources. The only way this could conceivably be nominated is out of spite. DarkSaber2k 18:45, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

text: That's how many accounts have been created (now up to 785,702).  There are actually only 34,639 active accounts at the moment.  Still notable though. --Pdeq (talk) 08:32, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Speedy Deletion? 

message: In reference to the line: "Urban Dead is not limited to survivor versus zombie combat, groups of survivors can attack other survivors, this is known as player killing or ganking.[1]"
I have never seen anyone call that act "ganking", neither in the game nor the game's wiki.  It may be a term used in some games, but it is not used widely throughout UD.  Any objections to removing it? --Pdeq (talk) 00:23, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No. None. I have been playing UD for a bit over a year and have been an active member of it's wiki and I've never seen that term used.--Nick90210 (talk) 09:42, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

text: Whether survivor-on-survivor killing is a bad thing is debatable.  The goal was simply to be consistent with the way the terms are commonly used in game.  Griefing has its own special use in UD that does not usually include PKing.  Again, PKing is not a very good name for survivors killing other survivors (as all characters are players), but that is how it is used by most people in the game. --Pdeq (talk) 04:34, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Not really much but maybe we could add Nexus War as a footnote? its made using the same game mechanics, and the same author I think.Eyclonus (talk) 12:46, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think it is the same author, going by http://wiki.nexuswar.com/index.php/FAQ#What.27s_the_Relationship_to_Urban_Dead.3F
"There is no "official" relationship, though I believe several of the NexusWiki administrators were (or still are) also moderators on the UDWiki. I've never spoken with Kevan Davis (the creator of Urban Dead), so there's that." Seems conclusive to me. No-genius (talk) 09:51, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

text: Nexus War was inspired on UrbanDead. It had several interface and game mechanics similatities, but the author were diffrent (Kevan created UD, Jorm created NW) and the second was mostly done from scratch using Java (iirc) while the first was done with perl (again, iirc). While the admin staff of the Urban Dead Wiki was not directly involved in the development of the game, we did got to play it in the beta stages -- as did many in the RRF, the MOB (both zombie groups) and some few others --Hagnat (talk) 18:58, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
