hi com, first i would like to say that i am from germany and hopefuly my english is good enough for beeing understand and getting some hints from the community. two days ago i noticed that "day z" exists and i instantly loved it. i just want to make sure that nothing will go wrong and to have a chance for most possible fun. i already have use the search function integrated in that forum and got some really helpful hints but there are still some questions left where you could help me. #1: Which version of Arma II do i exactly need? On Wikipedia it is written "ARMA 2: Combined Operations" on "dayzmod.com" i read something about "Arma 2 + Operation Arrowhead" ... so i am a bit confused. #2: What is about the equipment (called "gear" i guess) when i leave the server. I dont mean the equipment i have equiped, i mean the stuff which (for example) i hide in a forrest to get it later on. When i disconnect from a server will it disappear? #3: What are tents for? I have heard from a "let's play day z" on YouTube that you can not interact with tents from other player. It that correct? Are tents immune against beeing raided? Is this a kind of a "saftey point" for you stuff? #4: In case (#2:) that my equipment, which i hide in a forrest, is saved after i have logged out, what happens if the server i rebooted during a failure or maintenance? I guess this are the only things i need to know to get a good start into this amazing world. thank you in advance for your help. regards from germany, bLinDy*
