Australian Project Zomboid B42 server

Freedom, danger and player-made history.

Looking for an Australian Project Zomboid multiplayer server? Darkhour is the bad decision with the lowest ping. Heroes, bandits, traders, warlords and suspicious woodland hermits all get the same opportunity to make catastrophically memorable choices.

01

Hardcore PvPvE

PvP is always active outside Muldraugh. Ambushes, robbery, betrayal and faction wars are part of the story.

02

One percent sprinters

Most of the dead shamble. One percent have somewhere urgent to be, and apparently it is directly behind you.

03

A foothold, not a nursery

Muldraugh gives newcomers a PvE foothold to meet people, recover and prepare for the wider map.

04

A world worth remembering

Factions, trade, events, long-term survival and no pay-to-win. Your choices become server history.

Rules of the end

Be dangerous. Don't be the reason we need another rule.

Darkhour is a PvPvE server, not a daycare. Ruin characters, raid factions and insult somebody's carpentry. Leave the actual player alone.

Join Discord for full rules
  1. 01

    Treat players as people. Rivalry is welcome. Harassment, hate speech, threats, doxxing and stalking are not.

  2. 02

    PvP is permitted outside Muldraugh. No combat logging, cross-character evasion or targeted community harassment.

  3. 03

    Respect the safe-zone boundary and safehouse protections. Do not exploit claims, vehicles, fire or game mechanics.

  4. 04

    No cheats, hacks, duping, altered files, unauthorised automation, alternate accounts or exploited items.

Survivor briefing

Useful answers before Kentucky asks the questions.

How do I join?

Join Discord and read the rules, launch Project Zomboid Build 42.20, then search for Darkhour in the public server browser or add basilisk.aushost.gg:26080 to your favourites. Accept the Workshop download prompt and connect.

Where is Darkhour AU hosted?

Darkhour is hosted in Australia for players across Australia, New Zealand and Oceania. Use basilisk.aushost.gg:26080 or search for Darkhour in the public server browser.

Is Darkhour beginner friendly?

Muldraugh provides a PvE foothold and the community will help genuine newcomers. The wider world is still hardcore PvPvE.

Does the server use mods?

Yes. Project Zomboid prompts you to download the required Steam Workshop content when joining. Support lives in Discord if Steam has a moment.

Will the world wipe regularly?

No. Darkhour is built for long-term survival. We wipe only when a major game update or technical necessity gives Kentucky the final vote.
