Suggestion Type: Reality

Suggestion Scope: Dead Bodies, Server load.

Suggestion Description: Every survival guide dealing with zombies say that it is essential to remove a dead body from the building (Which we now can do) and burn it. I propose that burning bodies be implemented as a way of cleaning up the city, and the game's servers. If a body is burnt, the account associated with that body would be deleted. To keep players who died after logging out, and revived zombies from being burnt, the only bodies that could be burnt would be accounts that had not been used recently, recently being defined by an equation to the effect of: [9 months+ 1 month per char. level]. A minimum of 10 months should be more that sufficient to determine whether or not a character will be used again. This would free up space on the UD servers, by removing accounts that had been discarded, either by zergers, or players whom had quit.

The 10 month-plus limit could be explained in game that the decomposing bodies were beginning to become filled with methane due to decomposition, and the active undead's movements allow the methane to escape, or something similarly explanatory.

Fire wouldn't do anything except remove bodies. It wouldn't necessarily drive off zombies. If a body was lit, the text would say "A body has been removed from the pile, and burns brightly" The fire would need a source, such as a flare gun, or a new item (fairly common), such as matches, but no fuel, as the bodies would provide fuel. Using an accelerator, such as a fuel can would simply cause the flame to burn brighter. A body could not burned inside, as the carbon monoxide would kill the inhabitants, and a fire outside can be seen one block away, in all directions. Simply put, this would be an effective way to clean up Malton (the servers), and has no visible benefit to either side.

10. Blah - Accounts that haven't been used for 5 days don't show up in game... not as bodies, not as survivors, not as zombies... pretty hard to burn bodies that arn't in game anymore anyway The preceding signed comment was added by boxy (talk • contribs) at 13:32 16 August 2007 (BST)
11. Spam - Er what would the point of wasting AP on this be? Its a body so it can't do anything anyway, and surely having this ingame would take up more server space and as boxy says if they aren;t there you can't burn them anyway. --Marie^{The Grove on Tour} 13:34, 16 August 2007 (BST)
