The rest of these comments are missing the point. Sometimes it isnt always rainbows and sunshine. Sometimes people have to suddenly log out or the server kicks them off. So when you log in you are still easy prey. I myself have logged out down the road from a town, where I was safe, only to log back in and have a zombie that was on the edge of the town spot me with his binocular vision and start running as I spawned in. I also respawned in after dying, and was suddenly having 2 zombies after me, and I hadn't even moved an inch.
