About Hell Rising
Hell Rising was clearly based upon Urban Dead, with human players marking use of labs and revival syringes to bring players back to life, and buildings having a barricading system.
Death in Hell Rising was dictated by your circumstances of death:
- If you are killed by a vampire and they choose to turn you, you become a vampire.
- If you die after being infected by a vampire, you become a zombie.
- Vampires that die remain vampires if neither of the above is true.
- Zombies that die remain zombies if neither of the above is true.
- Human that die become zombies if none of the above is true.
Players can be turned back into humans by using a revival syringe on their corpse.
This game maintained strong PvP elements, with three very distinct classes and (later) NPCs. I cannot offer much more insight as I only played this one a little, however it appears to have developed a thriving community and its reincarnation has lasted a long time.
