// PLAGUE FOR THE iPHONE 3G/3GS SUPPORT

We are currently working on the support section for plague. For the time being please fire off an email to support

in the meantime, check out our FAQ.

1. How do I create an account?

To create a Plague account just type in the desired Login and Password into the settings tab of the game. If you have played the game with this phone before, your old account will be disabled automatically. So if you sold your phone and want to continue playing Plague on your new phone, BE SURE to login to Plague on your new phone first. You really should be formatting your old phone before you give it to somebody else. You wouldn't want all your sexts to get out now would you?

Also, be sure to check out the actual iPhone/Plague settings for a couple extra options like twitter integration, vibrate options etc.

2. I'm a human, I picked up a gun. Got some ammo. A couple of cures. Now what?

Your all set. Find some zombies. Depending on the distance your gun will shoot (sniper rifels shoot .5km, shotguns only a couple of meters) walk up to a zombie. It's good to shoot them first to incapacitate them. If they are incapacitated, you can now cure them. For the really brave you can cure them without incapacitating them, but that's just asking for trouble and is not recommended.

3. Achievements, what are they and what are they good for?

There are a bunch of achievements in the game and we will be adding some as we can think of them. If you have any cool suggestions let us know. What are they good for? good question, but they made me search and destroy 100 pidgeons in GTA IV. Here are a couple to try to get (there are a bunch of unknown ones as well).

4. How do I rack up points?

Turning a human into a zombie gives you 1 point as well as a multiplier on your next successfull attack. So your next attack is worth 2 points... then 3.. then 4... then, well, you get the picture. This works the same on the human side of things when you cure zombies. Exploring and travelling with game also helps you get points.

5. Why can't I see anybody around me? This game sucks. I'm giving it 1 out of 5 on iTunes!

This game isn't just a regular game. It's a social experiment that's hopefully fun to play. Nobody in the game is a pre-programmed robot or NPC. (aside from the odd mosquito bite to spurr infections in a given area). In rural areas we fully expect it to take time (just like a real life zombie infestation!). In some dense urban areas the game is already catching. London and Singapore just to name a few.

6. Why can't I pick something up or bite/shoot somebody? It says it/he/she's too far away!

This game also is different in the way that you need to get off the couch tubby, put the joystick away and physically run around. Okay, you can use a car/bike/skateboard/taun-taun too. If it says it's too far away. It's too fricken far away.

7. I'm bored of being a human/zombie, how can I switch?

Switching from human to zombie is easy. You just need to be bitten by a zombie in your area or travel into a bio-hazard infected zone. Sometimes there are crates left lying around from past cleanup teams and can contain some valiable merch. Zombie and humans can both open these crates but may find something useless to their cause. Also, be forewarned, these crates sometimes boobytrapped by people helping spread the zombie plague, or doctors trying to spread the cure.

8. What kind of objects are out there?

Not to ruin all the surprises here are some basic objects.

9. What are the benifits of being a zombie?

While zombies cannot use most items (aside from kicking open a crate or eating body parts), zombies are relentless. They can only be incapacitated for 10 minutes with a bullet. With each human they bite increases their senses for objects around them (viewable distance in the GPS view).

10. What are the benifits of being a human?

Humans can pickup weapons, cures and other usefull objects but they are fragile. If they are bitten even once, they need to find a cure, or find a friend with a cure within the hour (real time) or they will turn into a zombie themselves and drop all of the objects they are currently holding.
