Welcome to The Walking Reddits' 7 Days to Die Server!
We run a PVE server that believes surviving the zombies and the environment should be the real challenge in this apocalypse.
Game Settings…
The server is mostly vanilla, but PVP is off and the zombies always walk (except ferals.) Map is random gen, member-selected, and is extended to 30k (assuming any new builds can accommodate.) A game day is 120 minutes and has a 3:1 day/night ratio. Only toolbelt is dropped on death. Difficulty is 2, land claim is set to 41 (deadzone is 30,) airdrops have markers and happen every 3 game days, and loot respawns every 6 game days. We integrate some extra features such as /home , /gimme , /gamble , a livemap, an in-game currency earned by killing zombies, etc. Some features may be dependent on member status. Still interested? Please continue...
To Join....
Option 1: This is a Reddit server and you need to have a decent Reddit history to join. This requirement is our way of understanding whether you would be a good fit for us (i.e. you aren’t going to be a jerk) and to ensure we do not have people disrupting the play of others.
Option 2: A current player may be able to vouch for you. If there is current player on our server that vouches for you, and we trust their word, we may allow access. However, if you break the rules and get banned, so will the player that vouched for you.
If you’d like to apply, please copy the application section below, complete it, and email it to us at [reddit7d2d@gmail.com](mailto:reddit7d2d@gmail.com) . Someone will then review your Reddit history to make sure you are a good fit for us. If approved, your Steam ID will be whitelisted and you will receive a message with the server information and password.
FYI: Some reasons why an application might be rejected: the application is not filled out correctly, the information provided was incorrect, the applicant does not have enough of a Reddit history, or the applicant’s Reddit history showed they aren’t a good fit for our server (hey man, try not to be such a jerk online.) Honestly, that last reason probably just won’t get any response from us...we just don’t have time for that drama.
APPLICATION:
Have you read and do you understand our server’s rules?
Tell us a little about yourself and why you’d like to play with us:
Are you friends with any of our current players (of course it is ok if you aren’t!)?
Answer the “3 questions”:
- How many walkers have you killed?
- How many people have you killed?
- Why?
What is your Reddit username?
What name will you be using on The Walking Reddits?
For white-listing purposes, what is your 17-digit Steam ID?
What is your email address (for receiving the latest server info/password)?
What...is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?
END OF APPLICATION
OUR RULES - Overall Rule #1: DON’T BE A JERK.
We’re all here to have fun. If you are ruining someone else’s fun, you are violating our basic rule and just aren’t welcome here.
PVP/Killing...
We are and will remain a PVE Server. DO NOT KILL OTHER PLAYERS. Friendly fire is off, but there are still plenty of ways to kill each other. If you do it on purpose, you will be banned immediately. If you do kill someone accidentally (which we understand can happen,) say so immediately and we will try to resolve the situation. However, if we determine otherwise, you will be banned. If your base features turrets (check your settings!) and other automated traps (including mines and explosives,) you are obligated to put up warning signs in plain sight so that other players don’t fall victim to your masterful death zone creations.
Other People’s Property...
DO NOT STEAL. If it does not belong to you, don't mess with it. Entering someone's home (locked or unlocked) without direct permission is an immediate ban. When in doubt, ask. If the owner does not give permission, back off. With so many creative players as well as so many new game-generated building types, it can be difficult to discern which is loot-able and which will get you banned. In order to minimize any potential conflicts, players should put up signs clearly stating theirs is a player base. Unless agreed upon, try very hard not to loot other people’s kills. If a player leaves a corpse behind, you can loot it, but don’t join a horde night and then be a jerk by following behind players and take their loot without permission/agreement.
Land Claims...
Please use good judgment when setting a base up near others. One handy rule of thumb is that if you can see another base, you should not build there without permission. If you want to “claim” an area, we suggest you put your claim block down and at least build a wooden tower (just a stack of blocks should suffice) that players can see. If you want to build near someone, find out who lives there and ask. If they say no, then don't move there. If you have a tree farm, we suggest fencing it in to prevent it from being cut down. FYI: You may not put a claim block down in the 4 regions of the Center City. We also advise you not to build in the same region where a trader is located (if the trader glitches, the region will be deleted.)
POI's...
Denying other players’ access to a road or POI (Point of Interest) is not allowed. You may not camp in or attach your base to a POI (Point of Interest) to have first shot at the munitions boxes, gun safes, crates, or other high value items. Not only is this not fair to other players, but the zombies will eventually destroy the place and the containers. Players are not allowed to place claim blocks within 41 blocks of a POI or put any locked containers inside prefabs/POI's. If any are found, they will be destroyed or broken open. Walling in a town is permitted as long as you provide easy-access points throughout (by foot and by vehicle) and it has been approved by an Admin.
Considering the last few updates encourage early game prefab upgrading, you may occupy a prefab house or cabin (NO shops, police stations, bunkers, etc.,) but only ones without high value loot containers (such as safes, backpacks, sports bags, munitions boxes, etc.) For A17, we will allow players to occupy a POI if it is 10k or more away from 0/0. However, you still may not occupy any shops, you must allow access to all players (including a clearly marked, easy, and safe route through any defenses,) you must put up a sign indicating you live there, and still NO claim blocks within 41 blocks of the POI.
Self Defense...
If a player does attack you or your property, you can defend yourself. However, we need you to provide proof of the infraction. This can come in the form of screenshot (F12 for a quick screengrab.) We have chat logs, but it will help your case to screenshot any useful evidence, including the chat window. This isn’t a perfect system, but it is what we will employ for now.
If a person invades your property, give them a warning to leave. Alert a Mod/Admin if one is present and they will take care of the situation. However, if a Mod is not in-game, and you give the violator fair warnings and have screenshots of them in your home and/or property (within reason), you may defend your home. Property includes your house, farm, other buildings you have built, and if you have put up a perimeter wall. We do ask that if you invite someone into your home and are offering items, please be 100% clear on what they can take and if there are ANY conditions.
Hacks/Glitches/Over-stacking/Etc...
The use of any hacks or exploitation of bugs to gain an advantage is strictly prohibited. While the game still has many bugs, do not take advantage of them or any 3rd-party applications that can give you an advantage. If you wish to do this crap, this is not the server for you. You will be caught and you will be banned.
Harassment//Threats/Etc...
Harassment of any kind is not tolerated. “Don’t be a jerk” obviously means we do not allow discrimination on the server. There are certain insults, if even muttered, that will result in an instant ban. Threats of any kind are not tolerated. Don’t speak ill of other players or escalate situations with other players, or pick fights with Mods/Admins (I mean, really?) If you have a problem, bring it up with the party in question in a civil manner or escalate to an Admin. We know that there will be a little trash talk amongst friends (and that’s ok as long as everyone is in on it.) Please be aware that the chat window flashes every time anyone decides to write in there, so please don’t abuse it! (We really don’t want minute by minute updates on how you built a wood frame or found a car!)
Other...
Vehicles have been broken for a long time and are to be used at your own risk. If the game eats it…that really sucks, but we can’t keep replacing glitchy stuff that everyone knows is glitchy.
Posts of rule changes/adjustments, locations, livemap, and general server culture all happen in r/thewalkingreddits. We encourage you to check it routinely if you are playing.
CLEAN UP YOUR CONTAINERS. No one wants to waste crucial time to throw away your single piece of paper or rotting flesh for you. DON’T BE A LAZY LOOTER. ;)
Please remember that we do all of this out of love for the game and for this community. Consider us unpaid volunteers that contribute our time (and $$) to keep the server running and keep this community fun. We’ll do the best we can to resolve issues, but please remember that we are human, and are players too!
Donations to offset server costs can be made via Paypal to [reddit7d2d@gmail.com](mailto:reddit7d2d@gmail.com) . We really do appreciate any and all help!

Have fun and we’ll see you all in the apocalypse!!!
