In death, the city stirs. Its borders still locked down after a sudden government quarantine two decades ago, Malton's trapped civilians make their way through the derelict buildings, surviving the changing seasons to rebuild their fragmented society from the rubble upwards. Military cleanup squads patrol the empty streets, stationed in the city for the long haul, while embedded scientific groups continue the experiments that brought them here.

Urban Dead is a browser-based zombie apocalypse MMORPG.

This site is intended to be a more detailed manual for Urban Dead than the FAQ and includes in-depth information such as active revivification points, strategy guides to playing the game, the results of investigations into search probabilities, details on other elements of the game mechanics including items and skills, and information on various groups of players, including Recruitment for player run groups.

Banks, Cinemas, Clubs and Fort Armouries are all dark in Malton. (more...)

There is also a spot to share your favorite UDWiki pages! Listen to the Urban Dead community's first podcast, the RCC Fireside Chat, while you play! The Minor Mission List for survivors has been set up. Current target: N/A.
