Hmmm it has missions? people have probably heard my wrant against rpgs that devolve down into basic stat crunching and repetitive grinding, just to avoid Pvp, and from the Faq and wiki it seemed that Urban dead was just gothador without the quests that game has (a very similar Map and Ap system).
though playing as a zombi sounded cool, I didn't fancy all the Pvp that seemed to be required. If the game is accessible to, perhaps it should go on Tom lorimer's page of accessible online games? this was the page that lead me to Sryth, Logd and several others, so I've got quite a soft spot for it. Just E-mail Tom with the link. You can find the page at: http://www.whitestick.co.uk/ongames.html Beware the grue!
