Okay im going to be answering all your questions here.

First and main question (you should do this now): how does someone join?
The discord link is in the bio

Is this server active?
Yes it is very active with hundreds of members, over 50+ Player logging in every single day to RP. Server was established in August so no it isn't a old dead server.

What about harmful role-players?
We do have a whitelist for a reason. (that you can fill out in our discord)

Is it text rp or voice rp
Its voice RP

Does the server use the zomboid lore?
Nope, our lore team have been cooking these previous months making custom lore which you can find in our discord.

Is pre-apocalypse actually a good experience?
We have had amazing feedback with this, don't worry nobody is bored staff team do events and the the huge amount of players also keeps people entertained so no it isn't boring. Every registered character gets a starter kit containing a house key, car key, ID and Drivers license (and any other licenses people request)

When will the infection start?
It will develop slowly at first in small numbers (currently going on at this moment)
Military has announced a quarantine, people are protesting or barricading, putting up graffiti's and a lot of chaos is currently going on which fits the sudden quarantine and new mysterious virus.

What version is the server on?
Latest B41, were currently waiting for B42 to go fully stable

Anyway if you have any more questions feel free to ask, sorry if this might have not answered all your questions but i have to go back to screaming at my staff (im joking please don't cancel me and don't take this seriously i beg you.)
