Hello All - long time no updates (We've been busy playing!) After a few players complained about items not persisting on Ashes #2 (Hosted by Vilayer) and some back and forth with Vilayer, I finally tested for myself. Placed a backpack, bounced server, logged in, backpack gone! This explains the missing tents, vehicles, etc. Ashes #1 is hosted on Fragnet and overall it's been working well. We're now moving off Vilayer and getting a new persistence server on Fragnet. Details to come. Finally, apologies to anyone that lost items. Nothing more I can do besides move the business to another provider. Sorry! Thanks Trev - been fun gaming with you! http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/37492408382057395/B414AE87B315BF3E613165C527235E705EE85840/

Hmm I mean that sounds great, but you think it's a bug or possibly a result of some tampering / hacking? Fun times regardless!!!

Fun night - lots of rain though - had to keep the fire burning and clothes dry, heh. Being chased by a zombie around Novo (I think...) area (had been wandering the woods) and as I'm prep'n to axe him as I back into the firehouse, I hear rapid "friendly! friendly!" over direct - As I'm axeing the zombie I'm now assessing this new threat - (thinking, damn I'm about to die) but he never takes his axe down to swap for a (flare) gun ... so we chat for a few seconds and on our way - Good fun, no KoS crap. (Osb) well, at least not on _our_ servers, heh. Shot from tonight, captioned "Exploring what's left" http://cloud-4.steamusercontent.com/ugc/37489242702928714/8E8ED23199A3ECB4EED8CD251A9CF765329EF90B/

Looks fun man -- good times. Nice shooting.

Hello All, I've been playing on a variety of servers and I'm looking to get my own managed server for my clan and friends. Recently I logged some hours on a UK server that is hosted by http://www.survivalservers.com and the server was running very well, no hackers, etc. I was wondering if anyone has feedback on this company - Their prices are great and they offer dayz, community and private hives. Also on the consideration list (mostly looking for managed options): * https://vortexservers.com/dayz.php * https://www.hfbservers.com/billing/cart.php?a=confproduct&i=0 * http://dayzmod.com/f...d-deals-on-now/ (Possibly the dedicated plan...) I'm not considering dayz.st due to the volume of complaints about their customer support . I'm also not considering locations outside of the US (my clan is US based). Anyways, I'm open to suggestions of others. Thanks.

Been ages since I played with Oink and Satan - two great guys on the server now. Just submitted an app as well.

Hello, I've been searching & googling providers but I can't find anyone that offers managed dayz+. And the dayz+ servers that are active don't list any provider. I'm assuming the only option is to self-host/dedicated. Anyone know of a host that provides dayz+? Right now I'm using dayz.st for Dayz, but they said it would be weeks/months before they offered dayz+, if at all. Thanks!

Not sure - I was on two nights ago seemed fine just the usual crew wasn't around ... ?

Hey Guys, Sorry I was AFK for a bit - had some shit to take care of. Back on last night on US 174 but didn't see the usual crew. Hope all is well SG!

You are delusioned. Hah - Java is a perfect example of software that runs on Billions of devices and is totally fucked. We've had two 0days in less than 2 months that have been used in the wild for a LONG time. Or look at Android OS - totally fucked from a security perspective. Name any website, server or client technology or application - anyone, and I'll point you to NUMEROUS exploits that can be leveraged to run code remotely. If you know anything about security, there is no silver bullet - it's about layers of defense and balancing useability VS security. For example, want to protect your PC from network attacks, don't connect it to the internet. ........... but that's not REASONABLE. So you have to understand the risk of getting "on-line". Anyways, hacking will always be a problem, but there are NUMEROUS things the SA can do to combat this. A great example of hackers going "all the way" is the 2010 (IIRC) Blackhat talk about beating the Warden in WoW. These hackers basically built a hypervisor to hook *everything* in the OS. Pretty insane amount of work, but somebody will do it. Securing anything is an arms race.

Fun night last night - Played some Takistan Life w/the crew, (sorry about that Cardio =]) then jumped to 174 and took over Cherno for a bit. Things were going great for an hour till a hacker stopped by. We had multiple admins working on it and they got banned quickly. We had to rollback and hopefully everyone continued to have fun. Nice work last night admins - that's some damn fast hacker response.

Hell ya! Will be on this weekend gentz!

Server details ... ?

Indeed, heh.

hehe yeah well that is frustrating. Sorry dood, next time you come through we can go on a gear-run and I'll make sure no SG guys pop you, heh.

heh - well, some might - I didn't. I was the guy in the UAZ (when you had the yellow sedan) and I didn't engage you...I said "sup" and kept on driving ... however you did follow me for a while and because I was rendezvousing with my team, they decided to open fire. Sorry about that! Next time don't follow someone unless 1) you're trying to jack & kill me 2) you want to get killed. hehe

Hey - I played on your server - had a good time, until the hackers game through a few days ago. Happens to all the high-pops. Haven't returned but will soon. Good group of admins! Hoping to bring some {SG} guys back for more gun battles .. =]

Boom - lots of action this weekend!

Last night was fun - went into the Old Farts clan server and starting gearing up. Man, mbl, and myself met-up in elektro, got a blue sex van and headed towards novy/stary. On the way mann broke his leg around the same time we engaged a biker passing through. Sorry, but we needed your supplies and the OF server is a hostile place - we had already been threatened "shoot SG on sight" so we took no chances. We acquired medical supplies fixed our van and rendezvoused with additional members of SG. As we made our way north, a hacker insta-killed everyone. haha. At that point I called it a night. Props to Old Farts for a fun server, and I could see they were trying to police the hacker problem...which seems to be a constant problem on any high to med-pop server.

Damn - what a night. Awesome shooting by Khellus, great playing by Alpha.

Hey Matty - sure I understand that. Yes, he was being chased by zeds, but I didn't digest that fast enough that you were possibly friendly (firing at the zeds, not him). I was more concerned about keeping my squad alive. Next time, at least on side chat you could say, "hey, I'm'a fire and take these zeds off you" or something. Also, keep in mind, firing at zeds near a town may not be the best way to remove them...you're likely to draw more out. You can also run into a tree or large bush and chances are they will ignore you after a while. Regardless, feel free to come on anytime and let us know your friendly and you won't have any problem from SG members. Hope to see you on dood!

Interesting night last night - We camped Stary and Novy - sending in a driver to draw fire. He ended up getting killed, but we couldn't locate the shooter. Once we had full support on the town, the shooter had fled. We searched but then moved onto other areas. High tension and I didn't even fire a bullet. @Tom: Hoping to get the server switched to 24hour (day/night) - I think everyone is in agreement about that. Adds a new tactical side to it all. Also, possibly set reboots to every 6 instead of 3 hours since it's password-protected and low-pop the memory consumption, etc hasn't been an issue. Let me know (since I don't have access to the server anymore, you changed the password). ;)

@Khellus- Awesome write-up dood. I'll be on late tonight, hopefully you guys will be around!

Came on for squad battles last night ... spawned at coast w/out a damn thing. Grabbed the blue sex van and headed to rendezvous w/my team. Didn't make it in time as most had logged off, but started gearing up. SvS adds a new element when you know you're being hunted by some very capable people ...
