In-world Profile:

 +
As an Avatar of Freya my unclothed body is blessed with divine endurance and strength.
 +
 +
The earthly powers were sceptical and declared me a Weapon of Mass Destruction. To fight the Zombie Invasion, I agreed to let them put me in restraints.
 +
 +
My little minder Mini-Thor handles most threats using Lightning. Faced with extra strong enemies, I'm let loose to defeat them in close combat.

Not all of them get the traffic they deserve. Please give them a try!
+
Since my preferred action attire is less than decent, I have only reviewed zones allowing nudity.
 +
Many of these places don't get the traffic they deserve. Please give them a try!
-
== My Favourites ==
+
Do try to beat my local score rank and don't hesitate to tip the sim owner if you enjoyed their work.
-
=== Zombie Raceway ===
 
-
Beautiful, highly detailed and varied scenery. It actually makes sense to use a vehicle to get to the quest locations.
 
-
The zombies are pretty tough. I seem to die here more than anywhere else.
 
-
Several repeatable quests. (last count: 11) The quests are challenging, without grinding. The quest givers actually give useful hints when you prod them.
 
-
Excellent racetrack with lap timer. You'd better swerve for zombies!
 
-
1 full sim - ''Isle of Clarity - Moderate''. The rules don't disallow nudity in the Zombie area. The sim owner didn't seem to mind either.
 
-

'''''This list is from 2016 and completely out of date.'''''
-
=== Butchers Hollow ===
+
----
-
Awesome zombie action for all levels of player, newb to expert.
+
-
Dozens of fun repeatable quests. (last count: 35+).
 
-
Zombie spawn placement is excellent. The action intensity depends on where you go and you never risk becoming bored by too little action, nor tired from too much.
+
= My Favourites =
 +
Places I visit whenever I log on.
-
This is definitely a good place to start out for new players. It's also a great place for expert players to farm XP :).
 
 +
== Timed Death Terminal ==
 +
[[Image:Tdt-western.jpg|thumb|250px|right|alt=Western.|Starring in a western movie]]
 +
A.k.a. ''TDT''. Full name: ''Timed Death Terminal GCS at Brave Island''
-
1 full sim. 1 level + some smaller skyboxes -
+
This place is amazing, both in quality and quantity!
-
''Windy Bay - Adult''
+
The difficulty is very high. Even the beginner areas are brutal.
-
[http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Windy%20Bay/208/220/23 http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Windy%20Bay/208/220/23]
+
When you have mastered the necessary skills the gameplay is very satisfying.  
 +
Quaffing Berserker potions will help you survive.
 +
There are a huge number of quests, some easy, some quite hard, e.g. "kill 500 zombies in 10 minutes".
 +
Questing here will gain you loads of coins. On the other hand, you will consume lots of potions.
-
=== Valon's Zombie Assault ===
 
-
Atmospheric swamp with rotting wooden buildings.
 
-
Unlike most other zombie zones it uses the day/night cycle, which works quite well here. Varying action intensity, but you can't relax anywhere outside the safe zones.
+

-
Quite laggy in the water-filled areas, but OK elsewhere. Go southwest to the Fun Fair to fight vast hordes of enemies.
 
-
Several standard-type repeatable quests. (last count: 10+)
 
-
One full sim -  
+

Dense jungle and some run-down military installations. Much work has obviously been spent on the scenery. This gives the place a consistent feel and makes it fun to explore.

Unfortunately the textures are mostly very dark, which makes the environment hard to see, even in full daylight. At least on my screen.
+
Many people coming here tend to favor fancy tricked-out non-GCS weapons that makes the sim unbelievably laggy. If the map shows five or more visitors you'd probably do better going somewhere else.
-
Plenty of quests but somewhat slow on the zombie action. Many of the quests are quite hard, as you have to find unique items hidden in the greenery.

Medium difficulty. No quests

Going here lands you in a nexus where the sim teleporter sign is sometimes slow to rez.

A Winner is Me! Badass Bounty Hunter of the Month at TDT
A Winner is Me! Badass Bounty Hunter of the Month at TDT

Written by Aryel Magnifico

In-world Profile:

As an Avatar of Freya my unclothed body is blessed with divine endurance and strength.

The earthly powers were sceptical and declared me a Weapon of Mass Destruction. To fight the Zombie Invasion, I agreed to let them put me in restraints.

My little minder Mini-Thor handles most threats using Lightning. Faced with extra strong enemies, I'm let loose to defeat them in close combat.


These are my current favorite places for Zombie Hunting in Second Life. All of them use the Grim Combat System, a.k.a. GCS.

Since my preferred action attire is less than decent, I have only reviewed zones allowing nudity.

Many of these places don't get the traffic they deserve. Please give them a try!

Do try to beat my local score rank and don't hesitate to tip the sim owner if you enjoyed their work.




This list is from 2016 and completely out of date.


My Favourites

Places I visit whenever I log on.

A.k.a. TDT. Full name: Timed Death Terminal GCS at Brave Island

This place is amazing, both in quality and quantity! The difficulty is very high. Even the beginner areas are brutal.

When you have mastered the necessary skills the gameplay is very satisfying. Quaffing Berserker potions will help you survive.

There are a huge number of quests, some easy, some quite hard, e.g. "kill 500 zombies in 10 minutes". Questing here will gain you loads of coins. On the other hand, you will consume lots of potions.

  • Subzomia A personal favorite. Lots of lvl 18 melee zombies - Watchtower Treehouse In the treetops of Subzomia you have to defend against naughty pixies and angry birds.
  • Timed Death Terminal City The deadliest GCS area I ever tried. Anti-venom to counter the fatties' toxic bile is a must for survival. Some parts of this area are reserved for PVP. - Rooftops High above the street level life is still hard.
  • Western Town Mixed monsters levels 1 to 18, melee and ranged. Another personal favorite. I usually rely on Lightning Bolt here.
  • Underground Cave with recovery room at Underground Maze Really tough opposition here. Some parts of this area are intended for team play.
