    Hello imax and welcome to the forum

    After you've created your character, you should "wake up" with a quest; simply click on "CHARACTER", then click on the "Active Quests" tab, and read; maybe you also have to click on "LOCATION", and then on the quest tab.

    On the "MAP" you should also see a yellow square, this marks your next quest step. You can be attacked by zombies while you travel (random encounter), try to kill the zombie, but if the zed is to hard, try to run away.

    If you "die" you should choose "wait for rescue"; there are so many players online so you'll be secured in no time.

    If you have further question please don't hesitate to ask, but also make sure you search for other topics first.

    EDIT:

    {

    I've just created a wiki article. It is a step by step "walkthrough" for the first quest. I also described some functions. I hope it'll help you.

    In these guides, I would include a few safe locations, explain a few guns, and that they use different ammo, how to rest and heal, how combat from a newbie perspective, show when to run and when to stay just so they get a better grip on it in the beginning, and they don't just click attack over and over and be like WTF I LOST!?!?! quit.... haha. Some people are like that. Also, I would add in a list of in game abbreviations. like NPC, AFK, these types of used terminology might throw a newbie off. Sorry is this has already been done. I don't look at wiki to much. Just the game and forums. Last time I saw the wiki it was like one page. I bet its coming along nicely.

    I don't have that much time to work on the Wiki. I have to much work to do for school, so every help is much appreciated. But it is on my to-do-list.

     We need some more tutorial stuff in the game. Getting started with the game should be smooth otherwise new players will leave before they really give the game a try.

    With the recently released update we have introduced new attack types and new combat effects. It's important to stress that this is still the early phase of the planned advanced combat system which will also include a much more graphical interface and loot from killed opponents as well as being able to equip bayonets, scopes and other extensions to your weapons. Here is a short guide to how it works.
