| | I am Sorry for the Vandalism But we now have no choice... Psychophill Must be stopped. He has discovered a way to give himself infinite time on the server and infinite AP. He plans on killing everyone in the city once and for all and destroying this game. We must stop him. I encourage everyone to tune their radios to 27.77 To hear a city wide announcement on Wednesday at 7:00 PM Eastern Standard time. Thank you for you time. |

| * Survivors are once again looting the long-abandoned seasonal storerooms of the city's shopping malls, to find '''[[Decorative_Items#Christmas_Lights|lights]]''' and '''[[Decorative_Items#Christmas_Tree|trees]]''' for their safehouses. Lights are now clearly visible from neighbouring blocks; while this may attract unwanted attention, it could also catch the eye of military air traffic, over the next few weeks.

| *[[Borehamwood]] is now under full quarantine
| |
| | |
| ==31st October 2008==
| |
| * Limited edition [[Clothes#Limited_Clothes|halloween masks]] are back in the mall costume stores, and there's enough [[stale candy]] for twenty-four hours of trick or treating, for anyone or anything that wants to thump on safehouse doors [[Halloween|today]].
| |
| ==28th October 2008==
| |
| * With the launch of Charlie Brooker's Dead Set on E4 and 4DVD, the [[Borehamwood]] outbreak is now open to Urban Dead players, with permanent zombification, fast zombies and a battle for the Big Brother house. The map will remain open for four weeks.

| | |
| [[:Image:Bloodied eye.jpg|A Bloodied Eye]] can be found in some blocks, with the message 'Somebody has spraypainted ''a bloodied eye'' onto a wall.'
| |
| | |
| If you spraypaint "a bloodied eye" the Image of the eye will appear, but only in Borehamwood.
| |
| | |
| ==14th October 2008==
| |
| * A disturbing [[Flesh Rot]] is creeping across the bone and muscle of the older, decaying zombies, making them more resilient to attack. (This is the equivalent of having died with the [[Body Building]] skill and a [[Flak jacket|flak jacket]], and doesn't stack.)
| |
| * Zombies able to [[Digestion|digest]] raw meat have been seen ''picking at the fresh bodies'' that litter the city, to recover strength.
| |
| * With survivors on edge for the slightest sound or disturbance, the crash of a ''transmitter being destroyed'' can now be picked out on a radio channel, and a building ''restoring or losing power'' will be noticed from adjacent blocks.
| |
| * The scenes of battles and murders are looking a lot ''bloodier'' than they used to.
| |
| * [[Mall|Mall drug stores]] are beginning to run low on useful pharmaceutical supplies.
| |
| ;Unofficial Notes
| |
| *A '''Feed on a corpse''' button is now available to zombies with [[Digestion]] when in the presence of dead bodies. When clicked, it gives the message {{udspan|You feed on the corpse.}} This costs 1 AP and heals the zombie by 4 HP, as would biting a living survivor.
| |
| *Necrotech Scans now show NT's with a White/Grey Border.
| |
| | |
| ==6th August 2008==
| |
| *With '''Monroeville''' in ruins and the zombie hordes unstoppable, the military will be putting the city back into permanent quarantine on Friday the 15th, leaving the city for the dead. Monroeville characters can transfer their donation flags to characters in Malton via their settings page.
| |

| ==3rd July 2008==
| |
| Unofficial notes: [[Supply Crates|Helicopters]] have returned to Malton & Monroeville today.
| |

| ==13th June 2008==
| |
| *The quarantine in Monroeville has been lifted for another four weeks, to coincide with the DVD release of Romero's Diary of the Dead on June 30th. The dead are rising again, even the long-headshot zombies out in the streets and fields, and new military units are being dropped in to stem the tide. You can create a new character there, and meet or eat the survivors who made it through the lockdown.

| |
| *[[Fixed Bugs#False_Repair_Building_AP|Some]] [[Fixed Bugs#Dead_bodies_half-visible_in_darkened_buildings|bugs]] [[Fixed Bugs#Museums_in_Monroeville_empty.3F|were]] fixed along with the update.
| |
| | |
| ==28th May 2008==
| |
| *Decay spreads through the ruined buildings of the city. The longer that a building stands [[ruin]]ed, from today onwards, the harder it will be to repair. And as the moss and lichens spread across the final few skylights, several types of buildings are now [[dark]] without a generator hooked up, reducing search and attack rates until power can be restored.
| |
| *A few existing household items now double as impromptu weapons.
| |
| *[[Monroeville]] will be reopening its borders for a short while during June. Any survivors and zombies that make it as far as the end of May will have the fact noted in their profile.

| * Players can now see when a zombie stands up...
| |
| {{udspan|1=<span style="color:#B28986">A zombie</span> stood up. (1 hour and 20 minutes ago)}}
| |
| * ...when a killed harman stands up...
| |

| |
| <span style="color:#B28986">DeadHarman</span> rose from the dead as a zombie. (59 minutes ago)}}

| |
| * You can also "attack" other players for 0 damage (and with 100% accuracy) with your newspapers. Attacked players receive messages like this:

| |
| | |
| *The list of items newly usable as weapons also includes:

| |
| **Fuel Can - 1 Damage 10% Accuracy
| |
| **Beer/Wine - 3 Damage 10% Accuracy (One use only)

| Unofficial notes:
| |
| * The recording functions of [[Video Camera]]s that were introduced with the 25th of February's update have been disabled. Attempting to use a camera in a powered building returns

| |

| | |
| * Monroeville is now locked down in full quarantine - no new characters can be created there, characters will no longer idle out, all idle characters have been reactivated, and zombies in the city can now be killed permanently by removing the head or destroying the brain using the "Headshot" skill.
| |
| | |
| ==25th March 2008==
| |
| | |
| * The quarantine is tightening around Monroeville. From Friday the 28th, new account creation will be disabled for Monroeville, the city's inhabitants will no longer idle out after five days, and they'll be left to fend for themselves. If you want to get in before the border closes, [http://www.urbandead.com/signup.cgi?city=2 create a Monroeville character now].
| |
| * The game's main city of Malton will be unaffected, and will continue to operate as usual.

| ==20th March 2008==
| |
| * The [http://www.urbandead.com/faq.html#video Monroeville video diary competition] deadline has been reached. Diaries are being assessed, and winners will be announced soon.

| |
| * To celebrate the launch of George A. Romero's ''Diary of the Dead'', we've opened a temporary second map in the city of '''Monroeville'''. [http://www.urbandead.com/signup.cgi?city=2 Create a new character there] and you can loot a video camera to edit together your own video diary of the zombie apocalypse, with Romero box-set prizes available for UK players.

| |
| Unofficial notes:
| |
| * The snow that has been covering Malton for the past few months has melted.
| |
| | |
| ==23rd January==
| |
| * The dead are learning the priorities of besieged survivors, and are keeping near the doorways once inside a safehouse. While zombies are inside a building, they will lurchingly attempt to block anyone dragging barricade materials to its entrance, with variable success.
| |
| * Survivors should watch their step when free running across the icy rubble of the city - falling from a ruined building now carries a risk of injury.
| |
| * In the thin, cold air, the drifting miasma of rot and decay grows sharper and clearer. Zombies taking the deep breath of scent death are now given a visual representation of the surrounding city.
