rocket, what means of communication are available to us to get in touch with you in regards to volunteering and helping out with the work load? last evening i sent matt lightfoot a pm requesting he forward you my message which is in response to our invitation to you to have a chat with our staff at PCGN. i'm sure others would be interested to know what channles of communication there are as well. this forum is quite convuluted, as you know!

What I'm curious about is how MMOs handle anti-cheat. This game is essentially an MMO without leveling and without central servers. The servers are 3rd party connecting to a central database. This inherently means that every 3rd party connection to that central database is a potential threat. These connections can be mimiced or otherwise be in cognito by some threatening entity.

I respect your busy schedule and would very much like to have our community interact with you to share stories and feedback. I will send you a message later today in a format that matches your request as best as I understand it. I am one of the calmest most collected individuals you may encounter in your life, and I know that doesn't seem apparent with some of my comments around these forums. I apologize for that and I hope it's understood the frustration that has lead me to taking rash measures. Max, I do not single you or any other mod out. I do however notice a congruent effort from the mods as a whole posting more in the form of telling people what they do wrong versus what they could do more correctly.

Cause and allowance have very different definitions. Community support staff who are effective at supporting their product and their community encourace the spread of awareness, are not sarcastic cocks to those attempting to spread awareness, and contribute constructively to pointing people int he right direction to achieve a better experience with their product and community. Those who are non-effective brazenly ridicule and punish those spreading awareness and asking for direction. If you wish to learn the powers of influence, respect, and other effective principles for managing and contributing to communities, which i greatly urge you to do, there is great material out there in the form of books or online communities to help you in that.

I appreciate your sentiment and I like the sound of what you have said. Referring to patches and updates, i am referring in general to the software industry. I am ECSTATIC that you have opened up server adminning and yes this is news to me. Thank you for clarifying rocket. As for fixing hacking, you're right it is an ongoing war that will never end which is why it's so important to let admins do their job. Rocket, I'm sure you get many messages and comments from clueless individuals. I would like to invite you to a conversation with our community staff for some constructive collaberation. If you prefer to coordinate privately please let's do so!

Last night as I'm banning the bitch from our server with a nice little message to "hack yourself a reason for living"

This is horse shit quite frankly. I've heard it a million times before "the next update, the next version, the standalone........... will fix the hacking". That's like going to the car dealership and buying a jeep and the four wheel drive doesn't work and the dealership saying some douche tampered with it wait until we get our next shipment in and come buy another one. The problem with hacking is the mods on this forum, rocket and his rules with server administration, and the pussy fucks that are attracted to the free for all the mods and devs have created for them. Come to www.pc-gamers.net and sign up for our Oct 1st go live for private Lingor server which we don't have to associate by these "rules". What a joke. The game is amazing, the people are douches. We have a brilliant community, anti-hack measures monitored by hacking experts, and won't have these ridiculous issues. Lingor private is live now open for early access with Chernarus private coming in the next week or 2. Want amazing experience with an amazing game? Come join us. PERIOD

if you're so intelligent and are bent on solving conspiracies, why are you perusing DayZ forums? I love the fact that the ones who comments are the ones who are clueless as to what's actually going on in our community, and the ones who aren't here posting are the ones involved in OUR community making it the special place that is really is. keep em comin! ps. you're probably NOT who we'd invite with open arms. all others are taking note, and thank you for the free bump.

clear temp files/cookies, reboot yer pc

Find my most recent blog post from this past weekend's action below. As a treat, I've included it all for you to read as well. http://www.pc-gamers.net/entry.php?32-DayZ-Chernarus-9-16-2012 Darky and I decided on some covert operations against the local bandits utilizing quick but silent transport from the infamous old-man bycicles. We chose to enter the east side of Elektro via the train tracks to maintain integrity for our mission. Upon entering we are surprised by the lack of zombies in town and decide to head up the streets to what we thought was a ghost town. Then a few zombies went sprinting by out in the distance between the school house and the supermarket. We did a quick u-turn and parked our bikes on the south end of town out of sight and moved back in on foot. Spending about 5 minutes and not seeing a single soul that could have spawned or otherwise caused the zombies to go crazy, we head back tot he bikes and head West out of the town. Staying on the train tracks we are coming up to the gas station on our right. Darky branches off to check the area and I do circles around the gas station building and then back onto the tracks. Just then, I hear a car driving by on the road heading towards the East into Elektro. Darky must have been near the road since the driver is starting to chase him down, tried ramming him to no avail, and Darky comes over voice laughing hysterrically. Meanwhile I now have a perched spot in the trees out of sight, watch 2 guys pile out of the car to continue the pursuit after darky now on foot. Just as they step out I let off half a stanag mag into each of them and watch them fall dead. The driver guns it with horns blasting and Darky finishes him off before he can make an escape. Now sure there are no more maniacs trying to gun down or run over Darky, we head in and scope out the vehicle and dead bodies for loot. These guys are fully loaded! And their yellow old-hatchback now is in need of serious repairs. We decided to hang around a bit, not needing the car or loots, and wait for their return or other passers by. Zimmy Zoom, JPM, and 12ogue were the unsuspecting victems and about 5 minutes later Zimmy shows back up to scout things out. Back at my same perch, I let off an AS50 round to his head and watch him flail helplessly to the ground once again with blood spurting. At this point the scene is starting to to attract a lot of attention, and we head north into the hills to overlook the area surrounding the gas station. Meanwhile Kyreaper and Duckman are approaching from further north to provide some backup. Zimmy shows back up shortly, Darky wants another shot, and fails to deliver as he is able to pick up all his loots again. Covered now by trees, Zimmy heads at the bottom of our hill further west dodging our bullets. As he heads into Darky's side of the hill, I continue to watch the car scene for others that may have stumbled upon it. Kyreaper and Duckman are still far off when Darky gets hit and passes out. I no longer have line of sight on him or on Zimmy and patiently watch in their direction as Darky fades to the abyss. Feeling sorry for my fallen comrade, Fear gets the best of me and locks me in place trying to stay away from the zombies that came rushing to his shots. Several minutes go by, no sign of Zimmy, no action by the car. I head north to a clearing to find out what I can see as I hear FN FAL shots out in the distance. Darky had one in his pack, so I figured Zimmy stole it and has continued his fight further North. I make it to the Barn just past the road North of us which overlooks the northern firestation in Elektro. No more shots until hearing the snap of distant gunfire raining bullets around my position. In no real danger due to the extreme range, I slowly crawl back south until they have no more line of sight on me. I examine Darky's body to find his FAL is still there. However, they took his L85! Now I'm even more scared knowing they had thermal capabilities against me, but wait, I still have mine too! Anyway, at this point Kyreaper and Duckman have gotten to the hill and I have taken up position just east in the hay fields as they try to scope out some new aimless wanderer hiding next to the house by the car. I zoom in and take the shot with my AS50, nailing his skull to his new coffin. Now checking my debug monitor it reads 3 murders and 2 bandit kills. Pressing escape again to go back to default UI, I press "Respawn" in a hurry, watch my body collapse, and feel more taunted than ever before in DayZ as my vision fades to white to black to YOU ARE DEAD. My own worst enemey, or Karma? You decide....

LOTS of interest coming in guys! Don't miss your chance to be part of the launch crew, get early access, and prevent losing your on-person gear when the database is wiped for go-live! www.pc-gamers.net

as promised, our official announcement on our servers posted here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/91524-pc-gamers-network-invites-legit-players-seeking-thrills-and-chills/

Our current public server US 1872 has regularly over 20-30 players and is in the 95th percentile on gametracker for popularity. We look forward to more survivors, groups, and bandits making the transition over to our private hive to continue the suspense in a hack-free environment! To get your Lingor client ready to go download our files here: http://www.dayzhosto...ngor_client.rar.

So who else has been stopping by our server to check things out? I'm dying to hear from you all and some stories from our encounters. I just started up a blog at our website containing the stories i've written about so far. I include the names of any players involved and they provide good fun on the memories. The only thing misssing is more stories and hearing the opposing perspective's side! http://www.pc-gamers.net/blog.php?1859-Bobo

You're damn right we have some real good dedicated teammates. Ironically, though, Fire is not one of them. His time is limited and so his goodies are mostly gifts from the rest of us. I'm not gonna lie and say we found all that stuff from natural loot spawns, but rather from raiding camps and other bandits. However, we have gathered large stockpiles ourselves of other gears. PCGN is a very large gaming community, of which Fire488 is co-owner and Sp3cialEd is owner and founder. We have lots of good DayZ news coming within the next month regarding our servers and to combat hacking is at the forefront. If you have evidence of a PCGN member hacking we will take that VERY seriously and handle it ourselves within our own ranks. We will even report them to the powers that be. Nobody within the PCGN ranks has ever been globally banned from DayZ or otherwise Arma II. Please join us online at www.pc-gamers.net. Join us in-game on server US 1872 hosted by PC-Gamers.net. Join us on Teamspeak at 216.52.148.11:5010. Find out what we're all about. BTW, electroban what is your name in game?

THIS is the way to do it. sometimes the backpack despawns when you drop it, but that goes for any item if you drop it in a bad spot. the safest place to drop it is in a loot pile or in a vehicle/tent, then switch to ghillie, then pick up your backpack again. all other reports are random anomolies and don't account for whatever glitches are occuring on their server at the time.

LOL @ whatever hot air you're trying to blow around here. What's your situation with us "Don't Shoot Me"?

are you inferring that a post about us as hackers making the OP seem as though unfit to make such claims is negative publicity? well then to answer your questions, hell yes! Our server is awesome, and we, like all of you, have these asshats coming to our server. come check us out, play with us, get involved and see for yourself how awesome you can be too.

what's to be busted for? lol i posted huge long stories in our forums about all the activity in our server around solnichny on 9/5/2012. we definitely had hackers in at that time, and cowardly combat loggers and ghosters. but PCGN stands for high moral values and has a brotherhood mentality in its community. despite the hacking and other douchebaggery, i had an aboslute blast in all the chaos that night. it's just sad that instead of joining our community, chatting with us, enjoying the brotherhood they instead resort to combat logging and ghosting bullshit to finally kill me. Im looking at you bubs and dorvits.... PCGN does and will not hack. We are very active in the pc gaming community and have hacking experts within our ranks to weed them out and ban them. Our server goes down every day to enforce hacking bans, and our admins are tirelessly researching new hacks and anti-hacking measures and combing our logs. the foolish are the ones who come here instead of to us. let this be a trend setter!

also, join our teamspeak! play with us i'd also like to inform you that our in-game voice chat and text chat is now working to communicate to us in game.

You're ignorance is noted. First, you killed Fire all by his lonesome. Are you menuz, or Nick? When fire died, I ran from about 4000m away to his rescue and once I got the the quarry i saw a guy named menuz running to his body. I shot him. Meanwhile, i had another friend still on the hill who arrived me overlooking the quarry as i ran down the loot menuz's body. Soon as i got to the bottom, my other friend (Ballsinacan) was shot and killed. I hid in the building at the bottom of quarry for over 10 minutes, then killed Nick in a ghillie suit. Fire spawned at krutoy cap just south of solnichny quarry and ran back. when he returned, we heard gunshots in town but saw no one. Meanwhile, i hear shuffling behind me and turn around to kill Nick point blank again. I bet next time you saw fire he had recovered his body! so which one are you? I never died son.
