I see the community base hasn't changed to much in my absence, be it, just new faces.

And I've only gotten worse since you last saw me in game

Hello survivors Remember the good old days of DayZ, I know I do. Creeper here, long time player and forum vet with something that might be of interest. What if I told you there was a server out there, right now, where myself and a lot of old forum vets play on, one where we're recapturing the feeling of your first steps in Chernarus, the sound of your heart in your ears as you bound from cover to the next building, pushing up the block, the scream of a round ripping past your ear, the rush of dropping the would be murderer that was to slow on the trigger. Now take all that, and what if I told you there was more. You would be running up against the likes of Derpy Hooves, Bad Luck Burt, Myself, Smore, Legacy and many other forum legends, in the Expansion mod and plus map,. along with a few other hand selected mods to get that old feeling back. Let's take that one step further, with an active admin team, all in different time zones, so the likelihood of having an admin on is ever greater when you need one, all this and more is waiting for you on the Dawn of Destruction PvP server. " But, Creeper " you might say, " I want an immersive role play experience, not just getting my head blown off ". Well, we still have you covered. Coming soon, Dawn of Destruction RP server, with white list, no more worrying about some random bandit lighting you up while building your base, adventuring with friends, forming your own player based faction with it's own unique dynamic, along with the same great admin team from the PvP server, this is a true paradise for those that want a little more from their DayZ experience. More to follow on the RP server once we get the white list up in running. We hope to see you out there. Creeper

Seeing this thread made me smile. I went through the same thing, back on North America 1, the last hardcore public hive in mod. When Stealth took it down for the same issue, me and my clan tried our hand at a public have, which worked for a while, namely due to the amount of adminning I did, jobless at the time, but, in the end, we had to go to a private hive, and things only got better. It is an uphill battle, but, things are getting better all the time, stick with it, and you'll like what you see. Just some old forum guy, Creeper

Best help I can give, buy a PC. Most every issue you can have has been fixed on PC modded servers.

A thread died for this.

You have not been the first to offer, nor will you be the last. In my time here I've never seen BI take any one up on the offer. Best of luck.

Get DayZ launcher, get on a modded server where central hiving doesn't work. Problem salved.

Rules of DayZ: #1: NEVER get attached to your gear. You are always one step away from death, be it bandits, zeds, a glitch, power going out or your little brother, you are going do die, accept the loss and move on. #2: Risk vs. Reward: Is it worth it, are you risking more than you gain. Learn to gauge this and you're half way there, are you sure you can take that shot or be unseen moving into military areas. Slow and smooth is the way to go, think it out. #3: Situational Awareness: this game can be summed up in those two words. What's going on around you, what do you see and hear, what's your health, foo9d and water intake, how much ammo and ready reloads do you have. Everything goes into your survival chances. Situational Awareness, you have it or you're dead #4: Cover and Concealment: Blend in with your surrounds, block lines of site to you. If you come under fire, seek hard cover, a bush may hide you, but will do little to stop bullets. #5: It's only a game: Play it and have fun, if it gets to frustrating, take a break, don't get burnt out. I took over a year off, and now I'm back and loving it. Bonus tip: Play with friends, everything is better with friends.

Because they don't want to get sued, even though it never happened with ARMA 2, as long as they don't misrepresent the gun, it shouldn't be an issue. Though BI is taking the safe route and not using the real names, which I really can't blame them. TL;DR: Licensing issues

Because the devs have said no since DayZ Mod, not my reasoning but theirs. It would make life easier, but, that's not the point of DayZ.
