Feeling nostalgic about the old days circa maybe 2006-2008 or so when she used to play Urban Dead, in early 2024 SweetIrony took it into her head to try to track down some old UD players to see how they were doing. She found way more of them than she ever dreamed was possible, and decided to make a place for them all to reunite. Well, it was technically Ron Burgundy's idea. He asked, "Is there a social media place where all these people are unified together, or are we all scattered to the wind?" And so the Urban Dead Reunion was born.

Event Description

Feeling nostalgic about the old days circa maybe 2006-2008 or so when she used to play Urban Dead, in early 2024 SweetIrony took it into her head to try to track down some old UD players to see how they were doing. She found way more of them than she ever dreamed was possible, and decided to make a place for them all to reunite. Well, it was technically Ron Burgundy's idea. He asked, "Is there a social media place where all these people are unified together, or are we all scattered to the wind?" And so the Urban Dead Reunion was born.

It began with the tracking down of several members from the New Malton Colossus forums, and it only blew up from there. By the time the game shut down, over 480 veteran players, all hailing from numerous groups throughout Urban Dead's history, had joined the Reunion, catching up and reminiscing about the fun times they had in Malton over the past nearly 2 decades.

The Reunion turned out to be very timely, since the game shut down about a year after it began. It led to the revival of some defunct groups such as the Militant Order of Barhah and the Philosophe Knights, and many people got to have a last hurrah and say goodbye to the game before it was gone.

The game may be over, but the Reunion isn't. If there's someone you're looking for that you want to catch up with, make sure to check the Reunion! You're invited too!

Groups with Participating Guests
Event Activities

The following events happened during the Reunion and some Reunion members took part in them:

Caiger Mall Uno Championship
What began as a simple Poker game with the Upper Left Corner at Caiger Mall quickly turned into the most ridiculous Uno game you'll ever see. For some reason, it turned into a game of Twister near the end before it was interrupted by Babble Rabble!
Blackmore Buffet
A horde of 40 zombies largely comprised of the Ridleybank Resistance Front lined up inside the Blackmore Building on the eve of the anniversary of the 5th of November, bought together by promises of catering and free food. Unfortunately, there were only a handful of harmanz available on the menu, and the Blackmore Buffet was ultimately given a 1 star review on Zelp for the disappointing lack of service.
Newspaper Slap Bingo
Get your newspapers at the ready. It's time for Newspaper Slap Bingo! Run into a someone in the reunion? Give them a slap! And for the zambahz, we got something similar - Hagg!n Barhah!
Brain Museum Tour
A group born of the Reunion killed some zergs, redeemed some coupons, and took a guided tour of the Brain Museum!
Naked New Year Run
Ready? Get set? GO! The annual Naked New Year Run hosted by the Malton Zookeepers takes runners all over the map! Remember, no shoes, no pants, no shirts!
The Final Battle of Blackmore
404: Barhah Not Found and the Knights Templar gear up with remaining members of the Blackmore Bastard Brigade for Urban Dead's final great siege. The Blackmore Building held for 12 days before the Flowers of Decay, the Ridleybank Resistance Front, the Scourge, and remnants of LUE evicted the survivors in mere seconds in a massive coordinated strike that can only be described as pure overkill!
