About

What is The Dead Walker? The Dead Walker is a zombie "group" that emerged in the Caiger area around September/October 2009 and, according to their wiki page, "experienced a significant period of growth shortly thereafter." A number of factors suggest that this group is essentially a zerg group, not the least of which is their uncanny degree of coordination.

The first hint is their presence on the stats page. As this screenshot shows, The Dead Walker is a large group, with a low average skill level. This is a classic configuration for zerging, as the sheer numbers (and precise coordination) means that low skill is no barrier to success.

Another indication, as noted in the members section below, are the UD IDs of many group members. The nearby IDs suggest registration times within minutes of each other – clearly suggesting they were at least created (and are probably being run) by the same person.

Additionally, the zombies display similar skills progressions, notably by taking Brain Rot very early on – presumably to make them harder to DNA scan, so that indications of zerging are less easily revealed.

Finally, most of the zombies grouped together in registration blocs have names very similar to those generated as "suggestions" on the character generation page, which helps conceal zerging more than names, say, that have ascending numerals at the end. This is admittedly circumstantial, but together with the other indications, does ultimately suggest that The Dead Walker is a "group" largely composed of zergs.
