DEADPIXELS is back open to the Public
Season starts 13 March 19
PVE, Community center at THE COMPOUND
*self defense of your bases is allowed (Pipe bombing/Grenading thieves/griefers)
*WARNING*
This server is tougher then most. The zombies strong, nights dark, injuries severe, and crop yields meek.
But you will be able to survive and thrive. The tools are all there for you. You just have to use them.
If not, hope you find a friend/s who will take you in
Good luck survivor!
Community Zone at The Compound
The Compound is player run and filled for new players/veterans alike. You'll find scavenged supplies, beater vehicles, a library, workshop, junkyard and more each day. It has all the basics to get you started on the right foot. Use what you need, take what is authorized, be respectful of the private player residences or face the consequences. Ash Williams' house is open to the public other than his second floor bedroom.
2 characters per player.
Server Specs
Located in St. Louiis
Safehouse claims
Safehouse claims are available after your character lives for 1 day (about 3 hrs IRL). You can only claim residential places on any of the maps. Meaning don't take apartments over stores, military bases (exception is barracks buildings), warehouses, gun/ammo spawns etc. Basically if it spawns high value or rare items, don't claim it. I'll check from time to time and if you took advantage of a glitch, I'll just release it. If you have a doubt, contact me. So be careful on the location you pick. Safehouses auto release after 5 days (In Real Life) of them not being visited by the owner. Also you will be allowed to destroy the inner walls of your safehouse and the roofs (if you wish to make them up the the 3 story limit) but you will not be allowed to destroy the outside walls when building your base.
Loot
Food-Rare
Weapons-Abundant
Other Items- Rare
Respawn will remain a secret. Shotguns and ammo will be dropped by me at regular intervals so you can thin the hordes and pick up loot of the former residents of Knox County. Ammo drop locations will be at the military installations across the map and at the Compound. You can farm guns and loot off zombies. Learn Hydrocraft to sustain and trade. If you are new to the game, get to the community zone to learn the ropes of the game.

Zombies
Max toughness and strength...the rest. You'll have to learn from experience. Character traits choices, injuries and exhaustion will quickly make you mince meat for zombies if you aren't careful or a veteran of the game. Choices have consequences...which is how the apocalypse should be.
Environment
Pitch black nights, severe injuries, nature/farming abundance greatly reduced. Survive in the woods alone or join a group for easier survivability. Since 2 characters are allowed. XP bonus will return to 2x.
Reset plan
No earlier than 3 months. Pop dependent. Unless a build update destroys the map, like 38 and now 39 did.
Lag Bites/Scratches
Lag happens sometimes on MP servers. This server is overclocked for the population and we do manual loot refreshes to help it out. But as the map gets older and more people dump items on the floor, it can build up. I won't heal your lag bite/scratch unless I happen to see it when I do my rounds of checking in on players (invisibly to make sure everyone is on the up and up) But you can avoid a lot of problems if you follow these simple hints.
DISCORD
Best place to ask questions or get a hold of me.
