On my server you simply PM me and I add it to your profile, so whenever you spawn, you're the woman character :)

Due to a very unfortunate incident the other evening, I've had no choice but to change the rules. They are: RULES ---- RULES ---- RULES Don't get attached to your things (if something despawns, gets stolen by AI or bandit players, you die and can't get to your body in time, or you simply misplace your gear then there's nothing myself or any of the other admins can do. We will not spawn you a new one of whatever you lost either!). PVP is allowed and as such real life combat rules apply, in short trust nobody, not even the admins. However that said, douche bag behavior like killing new spawns or unarmed players will likely get you banned, so please show some pvp restraint. Do not horde vehicles, myself and other admins will locate and remove excess vehicles back to the wild (we don't check the gear contents either, so don't take the risk in the first place. we think two vehicles and one heli per clan or individual is fair). Stay out of the admin base (the blue area marked on the map), this is where we keep the admin helis and our own gear, we also store extra gear for players who might need our help with finding NVGs, a slightly better weapon, food and medical supplies etc. DO NOT complain about admins having their own helis or a safe base etc, being an admin comes with perks like any job does (only myself and one other senior admin have access to the admin map, all the other admins simply have Rcon access. so don't be accusing our admins of cheating, unless they are actually cheating of course). Other than that, we ask that everyone try to remember that this is just a game.

Music is too loud so couldn't hear the dialogue and I got bored waiting for the grand finale... Edited: Ok, so I watched it to the end with the volume down and nothing happened.. Epic Fail!

Rescue the hostages , weekend event: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/134961-weekend-event-rescue-the-hostages-from-cherno-hotel-private-hive-event/

Since Dayz.st announced their database relocation to help improve stability and speed I've had nothing but total lag, my players are constantly asking me when its going to get fixed and all I get back from Dayz.st is bullshit. They changed something over a few days ago and the map link changed, and that's when all the lag issues started. I gave them a few days before i emailed them, so as not to seem like I was being unreasonable. I got a reply saying they were doing the database transfer today 3am their time, which was several hours ago and still nothing. They didn't mention why I might be experiencing lag and even tried to shrug it off as not their problem. I've spoken to several other dayz.st server owners who have exactly the same issues since dayz.st started messing around with the servers. In their IRC channel dozens of people were like "OH, I thought the lag was just me"... So come on, wtf is going on dayz.st? Anyone got a good recommendation for alternative dayz server providers? If they haven't fixed the lag by tomorrow I'm switching to another provider. Their support is absolutely lousy and for $30 a month I'd expect just a little bit more urgency with issues like this.. My server has gone from 30 users every evening, to around 10 ... all due to this dam lag! Dayz.st claimed their changes would improve speed and stability, well I've got news for you.. Everything was fine before they started messing around with everything, now it's just a huge lag pain!

I'd like to see this on my server during the last hour before a reboot. My server runs 6 hours before each reboot, so I think having an end game mad rush for the heli crash sites (Already discovered and not discovered) would make it an intense final hour :)

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/125953-friendly-pvp-server-with-ai-bandits-and-trading-zone/#entry1209622 We have AI bandit camps at Devils and Rog.. Plus AI at the airfields and groups scattered across the map..

The NEW Server Address Is: 85.25.208.168:2303 New vehicle ownership rules on the first post as well, please read it before joining our server. There are additional rules that you can access using the custom menu in-game, mouse wheel scroll to Unit487 and choose Rules.

Sara, it needs more neon and way bigger text. Going to suggest my crew head on over while our new server gets hammered into place. ;)

We are sorry to announce that we are sacking DAYZ.ST and relocating to another server host. Details will be announced when they are available. All your profiles and gear will be the same, just on a different server. We are sorry about this, but DAYZ.ST have failed us for the last time. At the time of writing this our server has been offline for over 10 hours straight, all attempts at contacting DAYZ.ST have resulted in their admins rudely speaking to and locking people out of their IRC channel (not just me but dozens of customers). Hopefully our new provider will be less obnoxious!

Looks like you should be moderating these forums. The rest of them could use a lesson in humility and decorum.

Sure thing, you're the boss (was I onto something?).. This post wasn't about "bumps" , it was about my experience with dayz.st and I couldn't care less about another post made by another person, that had nothing to do with me, this was my post that you had no right to interfere with (sorry, i forgot you're the boss). He wasn't supporting my post, he was making his own post on the same subject using his own language, hardly supporting my view point. So every time someone steps out of line (as I evidently just did), you jump down their throats with a rude reply. Oh well, he got that right too.. Back on topic. A simple search on these forums will return hundreds of complaints relating to or at least mentioning similar experiences with dayz.st .. Not many of them have screenshots, mostly anecdotal I'm afraid..

Is my post being sabotaged on purpose? It was funny how after I agreed to repost my original thread, that same guy reposted his at exactly the same time and then it just had to be merged again. Something fishy is going on here and I'm not sure everything is what it seems. My post could have been left as it was and you could have deleted his/her post outright.. This feels like a stitch up!

Why did you leave them then? Just curious, if you found a better service let me know and I'll consider them too. Telling people not to post their opinions is typical of todays standards. Let a company get away with being disgraceful just because one lone poster who doesn't even use them anymore themselves, says they are ok? I assure you I'm not kicking off at anyone , least the dayz mod staff.

My server has been unusable for the pats 10 hours AGAIN due to yet another DDoS attack. Once again same bullshit. You go and try to complain in their IRC channel and either get ridiculed by the regulars or TOKER (an admin) locks the channel and mocks you from an admins position. The truth is this company don't care, they get enough people signing up and for everyone one that quits another mug signs up in their place. I've made a post earlier today about the recent downtime and attitude from dayz.st here: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/134340-repost-dayz-dot-st-downtime-and-poor-support-issues/ I've been getting a lot of flak from people about it. But what are we supposed to do, just sit back and let this company take our money (other peoples money) and not demand a half decent service.

As I said in the original post, they never answer my emails. Posting what I sent them here, would be no different to what I've already said IMHO. I do feel Orlok that you are trying to undermine my legitimate complaint with your recent posts (that's just my opinion, don't take it personally or lock my post), you may think that my post was purely "anecdotal" but people don't have to believe me or take my word for anything (that's their free choice). Go sit in the Dayz.st IRC room for a few hours when the servers are down and see for yourself. sign up for an account with them and see how often these issues arise, then try to complain about it, see what happens. I'm just giving my account of my experiences, hopefully others who have had the same issues will come forward and back me up , if not , no big deal.. I'm not lying about this ..! Rage VG, thank you. :)

I hope they respond too. Would be good to know they're listening to their customers for a change.

I'm hoping a few more companies find a similar solution to this and meanwhile I'm always open to suggestions. Is it hot in here, or it just me?

I actually feel like I'm being trolled here. I didn't even see the other guys post and when it appeared here again I thought I was tripping. Time for a pizza and some tea! :P

As I've said to Esran in emails (very polite emails where I try to reason with him) , that the only reason I and others use his service is for the map tool. The minute another provider comes up with something equal or better, people will move over. I said this on his IRC one evening and even the dayz.st supporters agreed with me. Their fancy admin panel and map tool are all they have going for them. Right now, not even that is working though.. My site has been down for 7 hours now.. A cryptologists with more than 30 years experience in the industry even tried to give them advice on their IRC, but he got heckled and had to leave. I feel real bad for him, at least he knew what he was talking about. If they mock someone like that , what chance do I have ? lol

NOTE: This post was originally merged then put in the graveyard due to issues that an Admin felt appropriate to do so. He suggests that because he can't unmerge posts I repost my message. It's nothing new to hear that Dayz.st are once again being DDoS'd for the 5th time that week (or twice in one day as I've experienced), but what some of you may not be aware of is their poor customer support.. On their IRC today, I logged in and noticed dozens of unhappy customers all asking the same questions, as the service had been down for a good few hours and the only updates were on dayz.st's twitter account saying the same thing "DDOS attack" ... So I ask, "why is my server down again and why hasn't this DDOS issue been dealt with yet?".. Then , an admin calling himself TOKER (he's always doing this btw) decides to lock the IRC channel from all customer input: Cannot send to channel: #dayz <toker>: this is a community channel, for official support email admin@dayz.st <toker>: good night He does this everytime, every single time I'm on the channel and he's around, he'll do this when people complain enough. I've complained to Ersan about him, but he ignores my complaints too. wtf? He did this, not because of my comment but because EVERYONE was complaining and rightly so. The service is constantly being DDoS'd, you get ignored or mocked when asking questions in their IRC, you sometimes wait days for a reply by email and since they moved database around my server and loads more have suffered massive lag, even though the move was supposed to make things faster.... My server is slower than ever before, goes down 2-3 times a day , and sometimes stays offline for up to 6 hours.. Now , for $30 a month and for someone who ONLY complains to them after my server has been down for 2 or more hours... Should I be putting up with their poor and childish support ? ADDED: The server is back online now, but I can't upload my mission file which I was in the middle of doing when it first went down. Apparently this has something to with DDOS countermeasures.. WTF?, why didn't they put this on before? How long will this be down? (I ask on their IRC and immediately get attacked by their brown nosing suck ups).. Fix this shit Ersan or kiss another client goodbye, I know for a fact you lost 3 yesterday because two of them were my friends and one was a regular I recognised.

Added: Custom Faces are now enabled. Let me know if you have issues with this feature as it's out of my control, it needs to be enabled by my server provider. UPDATED: Due to popular demand, the map now has a community base and trading post closer to the south coast, it's on Skalisty Island and you get to it by crossing the bridge and heading South over the hill, you'll come to a hanger with 3 helipads off to the side. Anything left inside the hanger is community shared resources (only the stuff inside vehicles, NOT the vehicles themselves, so please don't take vehicles), you take what you like from the vehicles and give back what you like (if you can , try to replace what you take, as we may not always get time to replenish supplies). Anything outside the hanger is left at the owners risk, although we suggest that all trades take place outside in front of the hanger with an admin present (your choice). Anyone caught abusing the community base and trading post will be banned. WARNING: The community base and trading post is right next to the admin base. If you get a message that you are entering a restricted area, please turn back or you face being teleported off the island. We cannot replace items lost due to this security feature!

Anyone going to take part in the Cannon Ball ? Or should I leave it for another day ?

Cannon Ball Race this Sunday 10pm GMT.. Here's the map and details: 1 player per vehicle. This is a solo event.... All vehicles will be identical. Humvees ;) You will have temporary access to a vehicle repair command (works without tools or parts). You will also be able to spawn yourself NVGs (again, this is a temporary perk only). You must complete 3 laps of the course with red markers, starting at Komarovo going clockwise, each lap finishes East of Elektro. At the end of the 3rd lap, all players must head EAST and follow the green markers to the finish line in the North of Berezino. The first 3 players to complete 3 laps of the red route and reach the finish line will receive Arma 3 lite keys. You can thank EvilScotsman for the Arma 3 lite keys. You must keep to the main roads at all times, no cutting across the fields (the entire event will be monitored and recorded using our map tools, an admin may also periodically spectate you). Cheating will result in a disqualification! Please arrive half an hour before the event begins and be sure you've familiarised yourself with the route. NOBODY is to get in or interact with the vehicles before you are told to get into a vehicle. We will heli-lift users to the start line, but ask in plenty of time to avoid a last minute rush. All further questions should be asked in teamspeak, the address is on the first page of this forum thread. See you there.. Sunday, 10pm London time.. ;)

I know , and if you provide me with a "reliable" link to enabling this feature on dayz.st servers.. I'll gladly add it for you :P
