A Unique Blend of Zomboid Experiences

After the Fall is the #1 Project Zomboid dedicated multiplayer server in the world. Join our community and find out why we’re regarded as the best all-around multiplayer Zomboid experience. Whether you want more casual and social gameplay or high stakes PVP gameplay, there’s something for everyone!

Everywhere on the map is PVP, except the safehouse you claim and the settlements players build. This keeps the tension and risk high while providing places of reprieve and safety. Step inside your safehouse or a settlement and PVP switches off automatically, handled by our custom safety system mod, written for this server rather than by asking anyone to hold fire. That single feature is what After the Fall was founded on and why we can run long term wipes without getting stale or too frustrating.

Around it sits the rest: car claims so the vehicle you repaired is still yours tomorrow, skill recovery obelisks mean deaths are meaningful but without erasing a season’s worth of progress, a player-driven economy of stores and prices players set themselves, and a highly curated collection of roughly 70 mods rigorously tested together. Community-wide events run regularly, and admins answer tickets quickly.

It is free, it is not pay-to-win, and the staff are unpaid volunteers. Rather than ask you to take that on trust, we publish it: the money supply and market data straight from the game server, every item currently for sale in a player store, and the server’s actual income and costs. Season 9 is currently underway with 5,400+ survivors on Discord and more joining every day!

What survivors say

What players say about After the Fall, in their own words. Collected from our Discord and published with their names.

  • There seems to be no staff more dedicated to their pz server than the guys at ATF. That was the most noticeable difference when deciding on where to play, and I believe that is why so many players continue to come back and play on After the Fall.

    Purplecloud
  • Fair admins, dynamic gameplay, all sorts of players, engaging player driven economy. Everything you'd want in a good server. Come to our Louisville settlement and save your money by buying our gold coins!

    lickitysplit
  • 10/10 The most professionally ran zomboid server I've ever played on. The staff is responsive and friendly, all the perks are worth having.

    Magnificent
  • Some of the best staff i’ve seen in a server is on After the Fall. I’ve checked out many servers and they typically state that they will not help any tickets made about stuff that happens due to base game bugs and just say the people are SOL. The staff always try and resolve issues, especially those caused by base game bugs...

    MEX
  • Have played on After the Fall since B41. The server is a great place to experience PZ multiplayer at its best. The PvPvE experience keeps everything fresh and exciting while exploring and looting your way through Knox County. Whether you’re into PVP, PVE, building and decorating bases, participating in events, or even starting up and running your own settlements, there’s something for everyone to do! To top it all off, the admins work tirelessly to make sure everything is running as smoothly as possible

    Amaraok
  • Myself and my group the “Crakhead Clan” have been a part of After the Fall now for two years. In that time we have all become supporters and have run a settlement every full length season. There is no more dedicated and fair staff than here. They ensure that the spirit of zomboid and the community remain positive and healthy. I’ve spent nearly 1000 hours here and i cherish them all along with the friends I have made along the way.

    PvlMadDog
  • Currently the best server with mods that offers pvp and kill on sight although there is a large amount of players that do not engage in pvp. The admin staff is quick to respond to any issues or cheaters. I have seen the server grow fairly quickly in the last few wipes with increased player slots and multiple settlements around the map that offer everything from items to services. The in game economy is the cherry on top for trading with other players or purchases at settlements. If your new to zomboid or an og I highly recommend After The Fall...

    Motoz
  • After the Fall has been my first multiplayer experience in Zomboid multiplayer. The staff have been extremely helpful and in the community alot in my experience, the community has been the best i have ever experienced in any game, everyone is helpful, some are murderous but that makes it just the best. And the biggest thing that makes this server pop out is the speed of fixing bugs, the custom mods and everything! its just simply Awesome.

    Reyes
  • Banger server. Enough said.

    Auzi
  • As someone that has played on ATF since b41, I can also say that it just keeps getting better and better. From fixing TIS bugs to improving server stability you really get the best experience playing on ATF. PVP is encouraged but not necessary as players find new solutions to make their gameplay enjoyable. As someone that does not engage in PvP there are towns that are trying to remain pvp-free and enforcing it via KOS or bounties. I LOVE IT. Also lots of cars to choose from and more mods being added as out of date ones become stable. I would definitely recommend giving us a try.

    Calamity Jane
  • I hate this server. It ruined my life. I can't log off. Send help, I don't remember what the sun looks like

    Bingus
  • After countless servers and thousands of hours, After the Fall has crafted an experience that lifts what Project Zomboid multiplayer is capable of and is only improving upon itself daily. With a lively community and an incredibly dedicated staff team, I'm excited to see what it will achieve.\

    Snorlax
  • I stopped showering, I barely eat, I have no life and my husband might divorce me over this game. Awesome admins and a sweaty community. 10/10 would recommend the server.
