Time
Revised for Season 17 |
Day and night last for 12 hours each, changing one another at 7:00 and 19:00 server time. They have cosmetic effects on the game, e.g. changing environmental images around the Town to reflect the corresponding time of day, and changing brightness and colouration of
World Beyond. In the latter, day time also affects the blurb, and close to day time boundaries the lighting represents a transition state of morning/evening.
During night time any Scavenging searches that you do have a penalty which reduces the chances of finding items. This penalty is called night malus and it's effects can be reduced in different ways that include the construction of the building
Public lights, the use of
Bedside Lamp (on),
Torch and
Novelty Torch (2 charges)(
).
Midnight Attack[edit]
- "Midnight" is that dreaded time at which the zombies smash themselves upon the barricaded civilizations of the living.
- "Midnight" takes place at 00:00 (12 a.m.) game time (UTC+1). It lasts for 20 minutes and users are unable to login or register or access to any forums at that time.
- For the first day, none of these events take place if the town hasn't reached the quota of 40 citizens. It will be postponed until the day which the town gets 40 citizens.
The server makes all necessary decisions during the attack in the following sequence:
Effects on the Player[edit]
Action Points are restored.
Exploration Points are restored.
- Status Effects resolve, or progress (depending on the effect):
- If the player is
Wounded, they will become
Infected.
- If the player is
Infected, they have a 50% chance of dying unless they used
Cheat Death.
- If they are
Dehydrated!, then they will
Die unless they used
Cheat Death.
- If they are
Hooked! and not
Drugged they will
Die unless they used
Cheat Death.
- If they are
Camping in the World Beyond, they either die or receive a bonus to scavenging depending on chance.
- If they are in the World Beyond and haven't set up a camp, they die.
Effects on the Town[edit]
- The town's voted
Upgrade is put into effect, immediately before the attack.
- If the town has a
Reactor and it hasn't been repaired to the point of being destroyed with the
The Attack, the game instantly ends and all citizens are killed by the explosion.
- The town is
Attacked by zombies, pitting defensive measures against the attacking goons.
- Temporary defenses are resolved and removed.
- The daily "Midnight Bulletin" of
The News Corpse is published.
- Players can take additional (two if there's a pump) rations from the
The Well.
- Bonuses provided by construction sites and buildings go into effect (i.e.
Searchtower)
- In a
Hardcore town:
- Buildings suffer damage that has to be repaired. Buildings can be destroyed if damaged too much.
Defensive Objects in the bank can be destroyed.

Maintenance[edit]
Occasionally a maintenance page appears when accessing the game. Maintenance occurs when MyHordes developers decide to update the game version. During this period nobody can access the game and only a reload button appears in addition to some informative text.
Flavor text[edit]
Time affects the text shown in the World Beyond and the title bar of your browser. The effects are noted in full on the Trivia page.
