How to Survive 2
Intermittent Downtime Fixed!
We have been having some intermittent downtime the last week or so. We apologize for the down time and have been working diligently to get it fixed so you can enjoy slaying zombies!
We would like to thank all of you for your reports of server downtime and your patience while we addressed it. We have now rolled out a server fix for this issue and you should be good to go!
Again, we thank you so much for your patience while we kicked those server zombies into line!
Love Kovac & the zombies

[LIVE] December 19 Update - Holiday Update
We have added some Christmas cheer to the end of your year! And here's a little song for ya!
Oh, the zombies outside are frightful,
But the explosions so delightful.
And to Kovac, you will follow,
Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go!
The zombies don't show signs of stopping,
And I've brought some caps for popping.
No, don't wait until tomorrow,
Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go!
Come play Dead Dynamite,
But don't come uninformed.
Come play all night,
Just know that you've been warned.
My friend is slowly dying,
And I am trying hard at reviving.
Don't hide in the shadow
Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go!
The zombies don't show signs of stopping,
And I've brought some caps for popping.
No, don't wait until tomorrow,
Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go!
Come play Dead Dynamite,
But don't come uninformed.
Come play all night,
Just know that you've been warned.
Oh, the zombies outside are frightful,
But the explosions so delightful.
And to Kovac, you will follow
Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go!
Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go!
