The War Z is a copycat of DayZ
The DayZ mod for ArmA II has exploded in popularity, nearing 700,00 players. Which is downright impressive a mod that's still in its alpha. Naturally, someone had to copy/steal that idea.
Hammerpoint Interactive annoucned The War Z today, which is an MMO-like persistant open world, filled with players surviving against zombies and other players. It has permadeath on characters, a hunger mechanic, and strong PvP elements coinciding with the PvE.
To be fair, War Z does have a few different ideas. It sounds like it'll have some more traditional MMO features, such as upgradeable skills, safe towns where you can relax, and some social elements such as shops, bounties and help requests. Servers can have up to 250 players, whereas DayZ is optimal at 50, though that is being worked on.
The War Z is set to come out this fall for $30. It won't have any subscription fees or anything; just the entry price. They promise regular updates with new items and fixes. If you'd like to check it out early, you can head to thewarz.com to sign up for the beta.
As someone who throughly enjoys playing DayZ, I'm not sure how I feel about this yet. I appreciate the realism DayZ offers, and it doesn't quite sound like The War Z is going to have that. It will probably have its advantages, being a game designed around zombie survival instead of a zombie survival mod attached to a realistic military shooter.
On an unrelated note, if you see someone named to0t in DayZ, shoot and kill him.

So really the only sales of the complete edition will be to people who had just learned of the title, or didn't have it at the top of their list of purchases. Aubrie

Day Z had some serious problems (people hoarding the only houses with stuff in them) so this could be what Day Z should be.
The price is too much ofc.

I commented on this in the Hard News comments, but after reading this The War Z sounds like the zombie mmo I've been looking for. I was thinking of getting the Day Z mod but might just wait for The War Z to come out. Although i might still get Day Z to kill the toot that you speak of.
