RuneZ - Open World Zombie Survival | Inspired By DayZ | Rune-Z.Org

Based open the popular First Person Shooter DayZ, RuneZ takes RuneScape Private Servers to a whole new level of creativity. The world has been engulfed by a zombie apocalypse, however, you, a 'survivor', wash upon the shore of this God forsaken world. Zombies roam through towns & cities, getting in your way of the precious items that you need to survive. Items can be found in houses, shops, banks, barracks, fortresses, or anywhere with a door to get into, or a ladder to climb up to. You need essentials to survive. You need food, and you need water. As time passes, you start to get hungry, and thirsty. You have to pillage villages to find food, weapons, and armor to protect yourself from the vicious zombies.

...but...

Zombies are not your only problem.

There are other survivors, trying to live through this Hell. And they may be friendly, and they may not be. At any given moment, another survivor can jump out of the shadows, and kill you for ALL of your items. If you do die... if you fail to survive... you will be given the chance to start again, at the cost of combat levels being reset.

Are you ready to survive?

Developer Notes​

Code:

- zombies everywhere
- there will be small patches and groups of survivors, some will sell you things and some may have quests, some may be hostile
- the wilderness has revs
- lumbridge castle is a safe zone, no attacking
- player starts with nothing, not able to use a map
- loot is in houses, buildings, banks, stores, etc etc. loot can also be found in 'searchable' objects, IE haybales, chests, drawers, cabinets, etc etc
- the type of building will specify the type of loot in that building
- some dungeons will have monsters in them, also rare loot will be found by killing these monsters or getting the randomly spawned loot in the dungeons
- players are given a large amount of run energy, agility will allow players to get into cert
- players have hunger and thirst
- food will replinish hunger, liquids like water, milk, and potions will replenish thirst
- zombies will vary between melee, range, and mage attacks, most will be melee.
- zombies will drop loot, most of which is not that good, however, if a high level zombie is killed, possible chance for good loot.
- player will spawn somewhere near water thats connected to the ocean
- a small short tutorial will greet the player when they've first played the game, decided by IP address
- dungeoneering, slayer, and possibly summoning will not be in the game
- construction will be used to craft small things to survive and protect, not for building a POH
- hunter will be very different than real RS
- treasure chests will be rare, and allow the player to use it as a small bank, only a max of 20 items can be stored, and other players can steal items from other's chests
* I am still deciding if stackable items should be allowed in treasure chests
- hunger and thirst will start out at 50/50. Every ~5 minutes it will drop by 3 

 

bump this up

 

Bump, 41 survivors online!

 

bump, 48 players online

 

If I get the time i'll honestly try and play for a while. Glad to see some new ideas (in a way) on RSPS's, and this one in particular is one of my liking .

Just get some more advertisement going on about it and spread the word, i'm sure many others would like the server as well.

 

Created an account and will give it a go. Unique and seemingly well made, want to give it a shot!

 

Thanks for the great feedback!

 

44 players online, come join them!

 

Just giving some feedback. Made an acc and gave it a shot, actually not that bad. Would constantly get raped by higher level players but I guess it's just a part of how it is. Losing everything really annoys me though, I think we should still keep like 3 most valuable items as in normal RS possibly.

Seems like a pretty cool project and can't wait to see future updates .

 

I'm glad you like it for the most part. That is one problem I spend a lot of time through updates trying to balance. I want it to have a survival feel, but I don't want people to rage quit. Some updates that are coming out tomorrow should help with that.

Thanks for the feedback!

 

Hey ive played dayz for quiet some time now and i will never getover runescape lol, been reading this and seems pretty awsome will try soon.

 

RuneZ patch: 1.1


*At the current time of this post the patch has not gone live yet. I am currently transferring files to the Dedicated Server. It's 1 AM here, and I decided to go ahead and make the patch notes

*I am now going to label RuneZ by its version number. This update makes RuneZ version 1.1


Added in Crashed Stars. This is where 10 'stars' will crash into the Earth upon server start, and they have 5 Wilderness level items spawn on top/around them. They do not crash randomly, they have set locations. I will switch up the locations every now and then. 2 of the locations are on Karamja.
Redid Wilderness loot tables, and most other loot tables. I have yet to redo the General Store.
Engine performance touch up.
New items have been introduced to the game! These items include trading sticks, dharok, guthan, verac, torag, and karils items, obby shield, berserker ring, berserker ring i, archers ring, amulet of ranging, amulet of fury, Orante Katana, Auspicious Katana (currently best weapon in-game), Golden Katana, dragon 2h (this has a great custom special attack, it is similar to the DDS special attack), dragon hacthet, dragon pickaxe, dragonhide armors, Dark Bow, dragon arrows, robin hood hat and boots, TokHaar-Kal (the black firecape), Ring of Recoil, the rest of the Party hats have been added to the ZShop along with H'ween masks, santa hat, and bunny ears. There are probably a couple more items that have slipped my mind.
There are now 4 different ZShops, split up by category. The categories are Weapons & Armors, tools, food and supplies, and rares and cosmetics. Lots of new items have been added to the ZShop.
We now have a new safe zone! To enter the new safe zone, click on the giant blue portal at the 'Clan Camp'. The new safe zone is a Clan Citadel.
Tasks have been added! To start tasks, talk to Mazchna at the Safe Zone! You will be rewarded with a really good amount of ZCoins! The tasks start from easiest to hardest, and each task rewards 10 more ZCoins than the one before it. The first task rewards 30 ZCoins. There are a total of 13 tasks. There will be more added in the future.
The Financial Assistant has been added to the Safe Zone! You can buy/sell trading sticks with him. A trading stick costs 1 ZCoin, and he will buy them from you for 1 ZCoin, what a bargain!
Trading sticks can be purchased from the Financial Manager, or directly from the ZShop - Food and Supplies
Farming has been finished! It now supports all herb, flower, allotment, trees, and fruit tree patches! Although, currently there are only allotment seeds added to the game, the reset will be added soon.
Redid Dharok Effect, and added in Veracs and Guthan effects.
Added in ring of recoil effect
Changed a few of the 'Tip' messages.
Purple Sweets now heal 140 health
Zombie hits have been rebalanced.
EVERYONE has a bank now! This can be accessed from the Safe Zone by talking to the Banker! Regular players have a 5 slot bank, donators 10, and sponsors 15.
I believe Night and Day is now at %100, it also now is only Night/Day, not morning or afternoon. Night is also not as dark.
Added in where once donators type ::donated in-game, they receive the forum rank as well.
Task interface added, type ::task to see what your current task is
Fixed the ::donate command and ::help command, they now currently redirect you to the right part of the website.
A few misc. things here and there
Now, upon Death, you will lose 1/3 of your combat skills, not have them reset to 1
Fixed the water, jug of water, bowl of water drink options

zombie boss
expansion of game world
NPC that will reset your defence level
Add in more farming seeds; herbs, flowers, trees
Quests
A few cool things to do at the safe zone
Dicing
