Rags2Richez

Rags2Richez · Build 42 · EU (Germany) · 18+ · Vanilla · PvE with a PvP city

A moderated, unmodded Build 42 server with its own economy. Start with rags, leave with riches (or die trying).

Nothing to download

Plain Project Zomboid, no mods, always on the current stable build. The server checks game files and refuses edited ones, so everyone plays the same game.

Rag$, the server's own currency

- 1 Rag$ for every zombie killed and 10 for every in-game day survived, with bonuses at 7, 14, 30 and 60 days in one life.

- 13 market shelves in 12 towns (two in Louisville): hand in crops, fish, eggs, wool, trapped game, building materials, tools, weapons and guns for Rag$, or buy what other players brought in. Prices move with supply.

- Fresh server stock every morning at 6am UK: food, tools, weapons, books and more at fixed prices. Type !shop in game to see today's. A weekly logistics tax (10% of balances above 200 Rag$) pays for it.

- Bounties that never run out: put 25-500 Rag$ on someone's head with !bounty. Whoever kills them north of the Louisville checkpoint collects it, and game chat says when they're up there. If they survive 48 in-game hours north instead, they earn half the fee.

- Stake Rag$ on your character surviving 7 in-game days with !stake (a 10% fee, 125% back), pay other players with !pay, and climb the live leaderboard at rags2richez.co.uk.

- Earned, never bought: no donations and no real-money shop.

Safe south, dangerous north

The whole map is PvE except Louisville. North of the checkpoint it's full PvP. The Louisville shelves pay 1.5x and 2x, so the best money is where the risk is. There are no safehouse claims in Louisville, so bases up there stay raidable.

The world

- 32 slots on the full Knox County map. 1 in-game day = 1.5 hours.

- 2x XP and near-instant skill books.

- Scarce loot, rare guns and no loot respawn. The power and water are already off.

- High zombie population, mixed shamblers with no sprinters. Only bites infect.

- Safehouses after 2 days survived (and you can be a guest in a friend's too), claimed cars that lock themselves, factions on, proximity voice chat.

Run properly

- An owner who's actually around, private in-game tickets, and clear rules with an appeal route.

- Anti-cheat on.

- World saved every 5 minutes, with backups off-site in two countries. If the server goes down, it restarts itself, and it updates itself within about 15 minutes of a new game build.

- 18+, one account per person, zero tolerance for hate.

Trial season now: come and help shape it. Progress resets for the full launch, and trial players get a Rag$ thank-you when it starts.

Voting here pays: vote with your in-game name, then type !vote in game within 2 hours for +10 Rag$ (once a day).
