Guides:Making a Successful group
Making a Successful group
So you've started Urban Dead, you have your starter and you've been leveling for a while now. Your suburb is constantly losing to more organized enemies, and you've decided to make a group and organize your men.
Steps
Step I - Check the wiki for other groups in your suburb first, and try to contact them if they exist and work with them. If not, proceed to step II.
Step II - Create a forum for your group. You can't co-ordinate people with emails.
Step III - Create a wiki article and/or website stating your group goals. BE SURE to include how to join, and how to contact you.
Step IV - Create an advertisement for the new group in established Urban Dead forums, such as Brainstock.
Step V - Go to a PD or highly populated area and yell about your group. Include a link to said wiki/site. During this step, you can also "tag" buildings with your advertisements (too many advertisements will just annoy people, and not help)
Extra Tips
- Have a designated safe house. Advertise it in-game or on the wiki. Try to keep it at very strongly barricaded so that your group can allow low level players in.
- Do stuff! Help with the 'cades, heal people, help with revives, just do something to build up your reputation and credibility.
- When reviving a low level player with no group, advertise. That small deed goes far.
And remember
- Be at least level 5. People don't like being led by low level people (some exceptions)
- Be polite. Being polite will make a great first impression and helps attracting recruits.
- Don't be rude to other groups or insult them. It will bite you in the ass later on.
- Don't use too much AP talking and tagging. Actually do things in the community before you start advertising.
- Save AP when you can. A zombie attack can come at any time, and if you die in the beginning stages it will slow your group down a lot. Also, if your building is breached and you kill the zombie and fix the barricades, it will help your credibility.
