I agree, Note, and to be honest I haven't decided how I'm going to start things off yet. I don't like the idea of just starting off with everyone huddled in a room, having never met each other before, that was just something I put in my blurb at the top of the OOC because I couldn't think of anything better at the time. I was thinking, as you suggested, that before the group forms into one big whole we could meet up individually and merge into two or three smaller groups which eventually meet up. Depending on who ends up accepted to the RP, my character Marcus could easily bump into Twix, Lee or Leon wandering the streets, or strike up a conversation with Jack about the baseball cap he's wearing. It's all things to start thinking about.

I have an idea.

How about a huge zombie swarm marches through the city and we all get flushed out into the open. or a flood or something like that that would make us leave hideouts etc.
