    Yea you'd need to make an account on that website, and download the client. I never was at P13 My main is at FP, and I can't get on DF right now. D:

    I'll probably be making money on my Doctor ALT in the mean time.

  7. so i keep getting disconected and hit by ghost vomit

  8. D: Gained only 3k in the only 3xp event for forever, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. In instant gratification mode, I'd say 'this wasn't fair, I have internet access for only 8PM-4AM on weekdays and all day on weekends and this event should have been held on the weekend when there would be more people playing, which thus makes the timing most logical.'

    But I'll rest my pikes and thank AdminPwn for even holding this test/fanservice at all as there are other players who may have benefited much from this.

  9. I agree with Aurneiros. Although I wasn't able to take full advantage of this event, I was able to get in about thirty minutes. So even then, that's 3x EXP I was able to get then. To the future for more events as such! Hooyah!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Same, but what an activity to be part of!!!

    This wont happen often/again and i am proud to say i WAS there. :D

    Thx Neil!!!

    ReplyDelete
  11. I GAME 1 HOUR 45 MIN AFTER WORK
    XD
    THANKS NEIL

    ReplyDelete
  12. This was also a good thing for us doctors. With lots of people going out and getting themselves killed or injured I was able to make quite a bit of money off of this.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Gained a full level + about 100k exp from this! Awesome idea, Neil! Hope it helped you resolve some issues, since I imagine there will be a much larger number of people playing in the future. Very good foresight and a nice treat for your loyal players; especially for those of us who support you by keeping our GMs through all this.

    To the people saying he should have held this on the weekend: I'm sure he had a good reason for running it when he did. Perhaps he didn't want the server to crash, due to an overwhelming number of people logged in at one time. Whatever his reasoning, please don't start bitching when he does something as generous as giving everybody a handout while asking nothing in return except that we take it and have a good time with it. If you didn't mean to sound like you're bitching, then why say anything about it at all? Don't whine when you think he's not doing enough to improve the game, and then complain when he goes out of his way to do something like this. Lord knows we don't want Neil to rage quit on us again XD

    *steps off soap box*

  14. Heh, this gave me an excuse to play DF again! Thanks for the 2x level ups!

    Keep up the hard work, Neil!

    ReplyDelete
  15. That was friggin awesome!! And the mission DAAMMMNNN they are awesome!!! Big brother mission is my favorite one! I didnt not expect the size of that maniac when i loaded into the section he was in I ran screaming hahaha!!! Great job man!!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Again, loving the posting more Neil!!! I check this every day xD

    ReplyDelete
  17. W00T!! I leveled up from 25 - 28 because of this!!! ( Big Brother : 120000 EXP )

    ReplyDelete
  18. Damn... an outpost attack alone got me a full 75000exp!!!!!!
    And an extra 75000exp over the next 2 hours of single player grinding... if only my armour was strong enough to take that last hit i would have finished the Big Brother mission.
    Wentm from level 16 at 2% exp to level 20 with 45% exp in only two hours!!! i would have been around level 22 if i hadn't died twice.

    ReplyDelete
  19. just a quick question... do you guys, here on the blog, think that this will happen like a once a week "happy hours" thing, or a monthly or bi-monthly thing with the hours he already us???

    I would like to think the former, but I'm just glad it happened at all!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  20. @sinkurepa


    Most MMO's do extra EXP events once per year. Or at least thats what I've seen. I hope he does this monthly... or bi-monthly or whatever. I wasn't able to participate in this event much.

    ReplyDelete
  21. i couldn't even participate on this event at all, that's bullshit, thats why its supposed to be called double xp WEEKEND and not tuesday

    ReplyDelete
  22. @xboxgamer
    Thats why it was triple xp TUESDAY, weekend was never mentioned.

    ReplyDelete
  23. @Everybody
    Support this comment if you think that we should get TRIPLE EXP again for Thanksgiving.

    Wish we could have this for new years.

    ReplyDelete
  27. we should have triple XP once a week or atleast once a month because that would really get people playing the game alot.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I keep getting template parse errors and cant even get in the game. All week the lag was really high and now it wont let me in at all :(

    ReplyDelete
  29. not complaining just letting you know

    ReplyDelete
  30. Seems the game is still a little buggy.....
    Give it a week!

    ReplyDelete
  31. @xboxgamer969

    People would level up too fast and the game WOULD get boring!! :D

    ReplyDelete
  32. Infinite Spaz

    The game is working fine for me, other than a little lag in pact places, but thats to be expected.

    Try delelting your browser history/getting a new one (Chrome) or reinstalling UNTIY PLAYER.

    If none of those work check you internet settings and internet speed itself. Surely i shouldnt have to tell you how to do those things...

    ReplyDelete
  33. I can't go on DF! Google Chrome won't let me. Are you doing something Admin?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Same, It would probably be the mission update or the music/mission/weather cycle update.

    ReplyDelete
  35. So why is Dead frontier website down?
    Is it maintience?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Why does it seem like no one on this blog has a geek they can call when their computer has a stroke...... I mean really!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  37. Ye,It is maintenance. Nothing to worry about it. It should be back up soon.

    ReplyDelete
  38. It's down again? Aww. Oh well. Can't wait to see the changes that are being made Admin.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Server is down again. Damn it.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Is it just me or does dead frontier is annoying me now with all the technical difficulties stuff?

    ReplyDelete
  41. @fadhlan faiz Just wait. He's either adding the missions and the weather or whatever he said 2 posts ago.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I try. It gets a bit annoying when I try to sell something at the MP and it keep freezing.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I'm really excited what admin is adding right now..

    ReplyDelete
  44. I think he should fix full screen, if your in full screen and you want to go to the menu by pressing escape, it exits full screen mode which makes the screen go black for like five seconds while your still getting attacked by zombies

    ReplyDelete
  45. @crazyjman7

    Problem solved. Either don't enter fullscreen or "pause" the game before exiting fullscreen.

    ReplyDelete
  46. @Gooberdooper

    yes, but if i pause using the map or invintory, i have to wait 10 seconds, exit full screen, then wait 10 more seconds to open the menu and it seems like a lot of steps just to change the settings. But thank you anyway

    ReplyDelete
  47. Fullscreen is an aquired taste. You seem to like it, so keep using it man- I don't much care for it right now... I might use it later tho.

    1. Also, click F1 to open the menu, and when you open the map or inventory it should pause- even if fulscreen has a dely between closing and going back to normal.

    2. and don't open your stuff when your near zombies, it'll mess up your status from incognito to softcore zombie mauling.

    3. THE WALKING DEAD IS COMING BACK!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Does anyone have an idea on how long this server down time might take?

    ReplyDelete
  49. sinkurepa the walking dead never left!!! but it seems if it was just last week when the fianl episode of season 1 came out doesn't it?

    ReplyDelete
  50. What happened with the servers today? Anyone got any info?

    ReplyDelete
  51. I cant get on Dead Frontier 503 response cant get on to the server...

    ReplyDelete
  52. Got two questions
    What is going on with the game its lagging bad... when im able to get on anyways. It disconnects constantly the main website keeps messing up what the hells going on?!?!?!?!?
    And also how do I clear my dead frontier Cache... i use google chrome

    ReplyDelete
  53. @tj2169 clearing your cache isnt going to help

    THE SERVER IS FUCKT

    angry/sad face tho if you want to clear it which you should regularly click the wrench next to the adress bar in your browser. Select tools. select clear browsing data and viola you are there

    ReplyDelete
  54. @BrianMMXII Thanks im new to chrome
    abd I hope admin fixes them soon I got an ultimate game card begging to be used!

    ReplyDelete
  55. @BrianMMXII

    What about us Firefox users? :P
    And why should we clear our caches regularly?

    ReplyDelete
  56. im loving dead frontier :D

    i noticed a bunch of certian small updates that i like :) such as where it says the date my gm renews and how my inv now opens in google chrome :D

    ReplyDelete
  57. I don't know about firefox, but I assume if you search around your options/tools there is a button to clear cache

    Clearing cache is important because DF is a Browser based game, your internet cache is stored data encored while surfing the web, so the more info in your cache the slower it processes new data, which slows DF to a standstill at times. Clearing cache regularly helps speed up over all speed of your browser, in turn the speed of browser based games like DF ;)

    ReplyDelete
  58. I heard baracading was coming, could this be the update for it. Baracding would be a large amount of new things having to be added to the server...Just a thought.

    ReplyDelete
  59. not much info on y the servers are down sometimes :/ guess i'll just wait.

    ReplyDelete
  60. I highly doubt it's cading, since he'd have to add interiors first, which is going to take a ridiculously long time. It probably has something to do with fixing bugs that occur when large amounts of people are on at one time, since that's why he held the event in the first place. Or, it could be one of the several other things he said he was going to try to get done this year.

    Bottom line, whatever he's doing is going to make the game better in the long run, so just be patient. Hell, it could take another year for him to finish all he wants to accomplish, but when it's finally done it's gonna be the best damn game on the web and well worth the wait. What he needs right now is support and encouragement, but don't baby him or he'll get lazy again, lmao!

    ReplyDelete
  61. Please for the love of god FIX THE LAGG!!!!
    I keep dieing because of the lagg!
    Fix it or send us compensation! Like a random gift or bonus exp!
    Everyone here please support this idea if your tired of lagg and you being killed cause of it.

    ReplyDelete
  62. @Raguel Well said. Admin's working hard, and I feel proud to have went and bought my first set of 500 credits (I don't like the cheat-status GM gives you) merely a few hours before you said that.

    @tj2169 - There is only lag on MP, mostly due to people with slow internet and the synch issues caused by using a browser to play DF, play on SP and it should be fine, also if it still lags play on low settings.

    ReplyDelete
  63. tj2169, no. Just no.

    Try using single player for once. Believe me, next to no lag, unless you have shitty internet.

    And don't say "But what if I get a boss?" Either suck it up and fight, or just run.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Yeah, I play on SP do to the lag. It's 100x better. And if you can't fight a boss on SP, then you need some work... It's easier for me on SP.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Yeah, new credit shop layout.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Since most players don't switch to a new computer ever time they log in, most people at least know how bad the ping and connection lag is on their computer.... just learn to fight with the lag instead of against it... I play on hichever of the 9 computers are avalible at my college's library, and they all control about the same.
    I know my lag allows me to shotgun charge a horde because of attack animation delay on the library's computers.
    My character may not always stop walking after I let go of a key, but he may lag warp in the direction I. Want to go.
    The lag keeps me from reloading sometimes, but it can glitch my shotgun into shooting 2 to 5 blast in one shot.
    Once I even glitched on this burning zed corpse that landed on top of a street corspe and got to loot it 5 times, got. 5 master crafted scalpels.
    Just learn your systems people, it'll help you in the long run... only those weird sythe arm zombies and pukes are a problem for me.... and the Titan zombies, but those are bosses. I don't renture out far enough to encounter bossed often.

  67. Guys, why are you posting about a downed server on a post about the 3x EXP? Its wayy off subject. -- You can always either use forums (but if its down you cant ofc) or the Dead Frontier MMO Page on Facebook, or the page I made on facebook for Dead Frontier
    https://www.facebook.com/apocolypticchaos
    ^^ is my Fan Page for DF
    https://www.facebook.com/pages/Dead-Frontier-MMO/218205323311
    ^^ Is the Fan Page made (assuming) by a mod/admin.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Also guys, for those who don't know, I am Danielplanto from Dead Frontier.

    ReplyDelete
  69. @dannyboy It's actually not off topic, the 3x exp was to get as many people on the server so that admin could check for server lag, bugs, etc.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Hmmm , sadly i missed this lolz or else i would use this as a way to lvl up FASTER than normal ( 3 times faster lolz ) - um to lvl up my acc's (newest batch) and for some peeps who don't understand , i am making 6 new acc's cause 1. Atheletes are 5 lvls ahead than anyone (5 * 5 = 25 skill points ahead -.- ) and i definitely want to NOT be slow , i.e i wanna be moderately fast
    regards , The SHADOW-Lords

    ReplyDelete
  71. @BrianMMXII I'm not sure how but I set a setting (Google Chrome) that clears the cache when I close the browser. It helps shit tons lol.

  72. Server Upgrade
    We are currently attempting to upgrade the Dead Frontier servers to improve your long-term playing experience. Unfortunately this has led to some teething issues which may interrupt your play from time to time over the next few days. Please accept our humble apologies for this delay.

    Thanks,
    Neil Yates (AdminPwn)

  73. Well, this can only lead to good things.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Indeed, i'm glad he's doing that, who cares about some lags, if they'll be gone in a few days...

    ReplyDelete
  75. Hey, there are new ads, telling you to buy epic lvl stuff... Really like them, but I won't buy epics from the credit store, as looting them is much more rewarding.

  77. Does anybody have any idea what JUAN DE DIOS just said?

  78. @crazyjman7 No, I don't think so. I for one NEVER has any idea what he's saying..

    ReplyDelete
  79. I know that English isn't everyone's first language, but at least learn how to type in English if you're going to comment on something that a majority of people type in English. Either that or post it in you'r first language and someone could translate it.

    ReplyDelete
  80. @ Jinbei Agreed , people spam chat (english) typing nonsense (to us english XD ) and we don't understand a single word .... or symbol . Anyways i LUV DF more for some reason - bah i spend to much time thinking how happy I'll be when there are REAL zombies and u can kill and loot other peoples dead bodies :) im going crazy .... lol
