These are my current favorite places for Zombie Hunting in Second Life.

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

All of them use the [http://www.grimcombat.com/index.php Grim Combat System], a.k.a. GCS.

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

The difficulty is very high. Even the beginner areas are brutal.

Awesome zombie action for all levels of player, newb to expert.
+
-
Dozens of fun repeatable quests. (last count: 35+).
+
When you have mastered the necessary skills the gameplay is very satisfying.  
 +
Quaffing Berserker potions will help you survive.
-
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.
+
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.
-
This is definitely a good place to start out for new players. It's also a great place for expert players to farm XP :).

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