Zombie survival MMO The War Z announced
Say, you like scavenging for supplies in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by the walking dead, don't you? If Day Z is too intimidating, you may fancy the newly-announced MMORPG The War Z, which seems to offer a slightly less hardcore "survival horror" experience but still has permadeath.
Move zed, get out the way! Get out the way zed, get out the way!

I saw a video about the ArmA (I think) zombie mod and the American "Zee" for Z sounds silly. I think we should switch to Zed.

"Zed" is the name of a hairy 300 lb hillbilly gas station attendant wearing overalls and no shirt. Not a letter.

That's a Zed.-

Our pronunciation of Z is more in line with other letters like B, C, D, E, G, P and V. In fact, I'd say most letters are pronounced by adding vowel sounds to the sound of the letter itself to make them pronounceable. It's seems strange to me to add both vowel and consonant sounds to the name of a letter like you'd do with "zed".
-
(by the way, the reason everyone else pronounces it "zed" is because it derives from the Greek letter zeta)

I had assumed it was Zed to distinguish it from B, C, D, E, G, P, V... leftover from the great war, wot.
-
Nothing about the alphabet tries to distinguish one letter from the other very much, hence the phonetic alphabet.

I'm guessing it won't have any guilds or clans? I hope not, I'd rather have a more DayZ like game but less glitchey. Anyway doesn't a MMO kinda defeat the whole apocalypse thing? I mean how many people to a server? If people aren't outnumbered by zombies at some ratio of 1 to 5 or the like it'll just be silly.
-
256 people per server, and there will be clans.

This looks like fun. Dayz is a little too much for me. But this looks like a viable option.
-
-
lol of course
-
Although, I can't seem to find an answer to your second question. This is their first game but I can't tell if they're vets
-
-
I agree. Now that I realize that this is not World War Z, I'm pretty annoyed with them for their name
-

Wait a second the name is The War Z. I read this news in a lot of places and read it as World War Z, as in licensed from the book, every time.

Human controlled zombines sprinkled in to the regular zombies has the potential to be cool. Left 4 Dead touched on that idea
