[mellow nexus]

@elfin vigil Do you like project zomboid?

[reef gorge]

GOD DAMN.

You must be really good at the game then.

[elfin vigil]

I used to be, but I put the game down for too long and I lost all those skills lol

[elfin vigil]

I spent a lot of time in RP servers which honestly adds a whole new experience to zomboid, but I always come back especially after a couple major updates

Maybe active for only 3 or 4 years

[elfin vigil]

Years ago I ran a large RP server called New Dawn RP. Perhaps you played it

[scenic cave]

[elfin vigil]

2,444.1 hours. purchased game august 15, 2023. this is my addiction

[mellow nexus]

When do you play?

Afterschool/work

Orrr?

[agile star]

after work usually, days off definitely, i have easily 10x more hours in this game than any of the other 120 titles in my library

[mellow nexus]

I hope that it’s your most played game 😂

[agile star]

played wow for 10+ years, this game is betttttter

[mellow nexus]

I don’t understand the buzz about Wow, seems very bland to me.

It’s just ships fighting other ships

[agile star]

played world of warcraft since the days of vanilla, community was stronger, less toxic back in the day. now i just solo game

[lone moss]

ive had the game for 2 years and i have 61h ;-; its my most played steam game

[mellow nexus]

;-;????

[lone moss]

dw abt it ;-;

[elfin vigil]

If anyone is looking for a comrade for a run through lemme know ❤️

[misty yew]

35 hours, I got the game a couple weeks ago and have been having an absolute blast

[rain wharf]

sorry for @ing you but do you reccomend playing RP? i've got 160 hours and played only solo and feel like i wanna interact with others

[elfin vigil]

absolutely, give it a shot. Ive spent maaaaany many hours in my old RP server

[rain wharf]

is there any you play now that you'd recommend?

[elfin vigil]

I havent found a super busy one, but I also havent been looking really. Just been doing solo plays sometimes with a couple friends here and there.

Gateway Roleplay and Kentucky Roleplay are the two i have joined on discord but havent started playing on them yet

[haughty knoll]

Cool stuff will have a look got 400 hours and total minmaxer. Got bored after realizing i like playing in more competitive servers and most i like are dead

[heady fractal]

3401

[glad yarrow]

Me with my powerful 5 hours

[heady fractal]

I wish to forget everything about pz and start new game
(with build 42)

[static fulcrum]

Hot dang, i thought my 2k was a big number

[glad yarrow]

I wish to learn and be able to survive more than day 1

[raven loom]

Game is quite the best. Been playing for about 3yrs now (all these hours are from MP. Can't get enough

[nimble ferry]

Learn to run and quickly, through the woods around building ect....

[glad yarrow]

Ok, thx

[nimble ferry]

anything that breaks l.o.s, making biglegs is nothing to be ashamed of. you dont have to sprint but staying and fighting is abit silly when you start. leave the area 🙂

[glad yarrow]

I just fight when there are 2 or 3 zombies (i cant handle more) but i do have to prstice ninja Mode and escape from them

[nimble ferry]

its really not hard..... they are zombies lol, the hard part is the "this is my house" mentality. its not, your attached because you started there and its "yours" its not its where you spawned. leg it and find somewhere that is yours, then you go large. took me ages to get over that now im running about with a silenced m1a3 and 37 mags. the only problem i have is........ me, ha there a bathroom door whats the worst that can happen, i got eaten so hard my dead body dropped through the floor and took me ages to find 🙂

[elfin vigil]

but how many hours do you have on the sims?

Ill always come back to PZ though cause I couldnt agree more, its one of the best games out there

[raven loom]

a lot lol. i usually just load up my PZ servers with sims-like mods like decor, maps, collectables and whacky/whimsy stuff (usually 400+ mods) then grab some friends/randos and watch it all play out.

when you put this many hours in the game, you start thinking outside your own normal entertainment, and you begin to take interest in creating a world for other players to experience and express their own creativity and engagement through methods of balancing difficulties on top of all that in which these mods provide. fun is most priority though, above all

basically we're playing sims, but we're a god with a narrative driven vision. the settings we get to work with are a perfectionist's dream. if i make the world, and I get feedback that it sucks/too hard, i can go in and change things to make it (somewhat) perfect for everyone involved. this creates a very strong, cerebral satisfaction as a creator which ultimately keeps me coming back, a creative and challenging itch for balance

i have many plans for b42/43 when it is released

[elfin vigil]

Yeah I saw the mutual servers. Ive played the sims on and off for a long time but only recently found s4mp

[raven loom]

s4mp is where it's at! i love that mod lol

[slate valley]

I wonder if there are people other than YouTubers who have played that much time in single player

[raven loom]

That would be a lot of time and dedication for a single player lol. At that point you'd just want to restart the world anyways

I couldn't do SP in this game like that, I'd get bored within the first hour. I need people to bounce the experience off of, that's the whole spirit of an apocalypse after all 😄

[honest wave]

Please do this ^

[nimble ferry]

🤣

[slate valley]

sometimes there is a sudden desire to play without mods with the company, I think it would be an interesting experience to play with strangers, I think one day I will organize something like this

[raven loom]

i have a full time well paying job and still managed this PZ is the only game that has this hold on me fr

[raven loom]

i can see that! in the beginning, i would hop in this servers VC and just play with random strangers lol it was fun!

[stray plaza]

People do that? In hundreds of restarts I have never, ever, based up in the house I start in!

[slate valley]

I would like to try to play with English-speaking players, find out how good my English is, etc. One day in the summer I'll try to play with one of my friends and a random person from this server, maybe even something interesting will turn out, after all, we have different understandings of the game, I'm still surprised how Americans play zomboid

[heady fractal]

and how americans play zomboid? intrigue 😁 можно в личку по русски)
may be some advices with servers? interesting to try

[slate valley]

Perhaps they play it more innocently? I don't know what word to choose, but I admire to some extent that people play with a lot of armor, a bunch of guns and cars, and they don't get bored. This could be called a curse, because as soon as I become stronger than a zombie, I get bored, because my goal is to survive, and it is fulfilled (и я даже не знаю что тебе можно было бы написать в личку по русски)

[heady fractal]

just chiiiiil 🥤😎 🏝️

[elfin vigil]

chiiiiiillll Ive had the game for 8 years now my guy
