Update: The Skalisty Island castle has been taken over by a group of bandits. They have acquired lots of loot, from weapons to building materials. There's even a chance to find upgrade documents and other rare items. But be warned, the AI are tough, we cannot tell you how many or where exactly they are on the island. All we can tell you is that your best point of access is from the West via boat or if you're really brave you can take the bridge. You may also encounter bandit helis at NW and NE airfields. We are working on roaming AI. At the moment it's too OP for Epoch to have roaming AI as they have a habit of entering buildings, stealing gear and killing players who would otherwise be safe in their location.

Top 10 scoreboard just added. This will show the top 10 players in various areas from zed kills to bandit kills and headshots to distance travelled. Only shows the current life, so if you die you'll have to start at zero ;) Top 10 score board: http://www.unit487.gamingdeluxe.net/

New additions: (Speak to server owner: ConradtheNomad , with any issues you find or post them here). - Locked Vehicles will not take damage (players exploiting this for cheats will be banned). Personally for me there's nothing worse than logging in to find that some douche has found your base and blown up your vehicles while you were offline. I'd still highly recommend buying a safe to store your valuables though, and bases are NOT indestructible, still :P - ESP for Tagged Friends: You can now tag a player as friendly and see their location on your map, you will also get a nametag (ESP style) when playing in 3rd or 1st person. This will make it easier to keep track of your comrades and avoid shooting the wrong person during a clan war for example. - EVAC Heli: See previous post. We will be increasing the cost of building these to 3 briefcases in the next few days. TO BE ADDED: - We will have web stats up and running by Monday. This will be a scoreboard with most zed kills, most bandit kills etc.. We won't be including anything else, so don't worry this isn't like the other stat sites that let people see what gear you've got etc.

Players can now build a heli evac . So if you die and need a pick up , you've got your own personal helicopter taxi service. You'll need to buy a heli and have 2 suitcases of gold. Heli evac pads must be placed at your base only. The cost of building them might change , so get yours now before the price hikes ;) There are many uses for this. Imagine driving up to the traders to sell a vehicle then calling your heli for a pickup back home. Or your mate needs you to drive him to the coast, but the car is destroyed and you need to get back quickly. The uses are endless .. but most importantly, this just rocks :P

Why do you need to know my Gender? Do you want to know my skin colour too? I kid, I kid :p

EDIT: After reading this post the owner "apparently" closed down the server and claims that the IP is now owned by someone else. With that said, please disregard my comments below and if an Admin is reading I'm happy to have this thread removed. Once again, the IP is now owned by someone else "apparently". I'm the ex joint founder and server admin of the above server and I want to warn players off joining. I actually called the owner-admin out today on his admin abuse and he immediately revoked all my rights, kicked us (myself and 3 moderators who were also asking him to stop abusing) from TS and shutdown the server. But in the event that he starts it up again, please stay away. I had exactly the same admin rights as he did, with map eps etc and server control , but I never used them unless it was necessary , i.e helping players find lost vehicles, replace vehicle keys etc.. This is Epoch btw. In short this server is being run by admins that use esp, fly mode, god mode, etc.. So stay clear unless you want to waste your time. He likes to tp next to people and show off his skills, which often resulted in a player death and a "oh never mind, I'll give you stuff back" .... Admin abuse is absolutely not on! Butt hurt? Yeah. Constantly being teleported away from what I was doing, to have a tank spawned on my head, or shot and then asked why I didn't have Godmode on.. Makes me a little butthurt. Losing TS privileges and being banned from his server, best thing ever.. :P

I actually still wish you all the best of luck getting into College, it's not going to be easy without qualifications, I know because i've been there. Now, you have threatened me with your parents on the grounds that I'm scaring you (i didn't know how old you were btw), so while I think you're being a little pathetic about it I'm going to respect your wishes and leave this thread alone. For the record, I've been an IT tutor and Software developer for the past 10 years, still very much employed, so your statement was only partially true there. All the best for college.

Please keep in mind that i'm not the server owner this time round . I'm just helping out with the scripting and admin side of things . It won't be like before where I'm up 24/7 adding custom missions and map editions (offering up a daily surprise with every log in), this will be more gameplay for me and less coding. I won't be on much either, but there'll always be an admin or moderator around either in-game or ready to respond on this thread. Hopefully most of the old crew will come back, it would be awesome if all 30+ players joined, but I guess most of you have moved to other games or are already settled on other servers. I look forward to seeing you if you decide to pop in , even if its just a flying visit. :)

We have vehicle tow, heli lift (with radar and paradrop feature), self bloodbag, AI missions and treasure hunts, safe zone trader zones, bell helis spawn in the wild and are also available from selected traders, stock is updated daily (vehicles may be in short demand if people buy too many and dont' sell them, but there's always plenty of other stock like food, drinks, ammo etc). You can also send in your custom built bases and we'll upload them (can take up to 24hrs), all we ask is that you don't build in high loot areas or for the purpose of sniping etc, you can't include any items that will give you an advantage, like fuel tanks, ammo crates etc, and you can't add doors, safes, locks etc as they need to be added in-game or they won't work properly. So leave your doors etc to put on in-game. You spawn with a keymakers kit, so use it and remember to back up your vehicle keys. We are adding Evac heli pads for bases in the next few days. Make a helipad at your base, assign a heli and you've got a heli lift whenever you need it. We are still deciding on how much this should cost to build. See you in-game.

Does Rage know that you told me not to give him admin rights because you didn't want him spawning stuff in. Does he and Ducky also know how you constantly slagged them off to me, there's a transcript on the old clan page with a chat log where you slag ducky off (proof). Do they also know that it was ME who insisted they had moderator rights, as they helped us start things up. Exactly where does controlling come into that? I'm actually just trying to be fair and I always told you to your face what I thought, unlike you with your games, playing us off each other. More mug them if they're buying your bs right now.. You'll slip up and they'll figure you out ;) You never did tell me why you've had 4 (was it?) battleye bans to date, btw.

Cool story bro, needs more dragons n stuff. You need to evaluate your own hate, we called you out on your admin abuse and now you're story telling to cover your poor behaviour. You were asking for donations to help support the server, you constantly slagged off the other clan you moved from saying how they couldn't run a server properly and knew nothing about coding etc, while at the same time trying to use me to teach you the coding side of things. You started that server up so you could be god, because you were getting owned on the other servers and now that I've given you a taste of your own medicine you're attempting to make yourself look like the innocent victim again. Don't start up a server with the sentence "so we can have our own community, without cheating admins.." and then go and do it yourself. You asked me to advertise the server on here? I did, in 2 places. I also posted it on Epoch forums. You also said you were going to post it on the old clan forum, which I advised against. So why say you weren't even advertising it? You need to get more sleep mate, you're becoming very forgetful of late ;) If you're innocent then you don't need to protest so much ;) Two sides to every story I guess. FYI, I paid the owner of this new server to set it up. I even offered to give you the cash to pay for yours if you'd care to remember the facts, there were witnesses to that conversation. So don't be making out that I only joined your server because I didn't want to pay for my own, call me all you want, but don't make shit up just to make your own bs more credible. The other clan you're with right now, know what you're up to. Remember, I was helping you start up your own server, I offered to help with the scripts but you didn't even know the difference between server files and client files, or the concept that a pbo is like a zip file. You were hard work , but I'm sure you'll reply with another lie. Your attitude to your players was appalling and is obvious in your reply. Why start a server, say it's for role playing and community, then say you don't give a shit about them? Like I said though, nice story.. Needs more dragon though! People that know me from the old Unit487 server know that i'm a fair admin, I ban admins who cheat and don't permit the use of admin menus unless absolutely necessary. Controlling is not in my nature, just being fair. I think you confuse the two definitions :) Don't make up stuff ok, it's tiring to read !!

UNIT487 IS BACK!!! Under new management of course, I'm just tagging along for the ride ;) We have decided to bring back the old Unit 487 server, again on Epoch. The server is in a different name and billing address so if anything goes wrong, the server will live on until nobody plays on it any more, so in other words, we are back, back for good! We look forward to seeing our old Regulars, and our new so come along and join the server. The IP for the server is: 81.19.208.15:2330 One more thing, if you wish to donate towards the upkeep of the server, you can donate via the clan pay link below. Donation are in no way shape or form REQUIRED from anybody that plays on the server but all donations are greatly appreciated and will go directly towards the running costs of the server! Thanks and we will see you in game. ClanPay: http://billing.gamingdeluxe.co.uk/grouppay.php?hash=fca5a-ebf34-79bd2-89f4e-2c6a8-5b054-25 We are on RaidCall: ID 8735494

.....

I agree with that. Didn't see this until after my previous post, so I hope you read it in context :D

You're doing it again. You're speaking for yourself and a minority group of supporters. There are thousands of posts with people asking for single player versions, but most of them (this thread included) tend to get buried with comments like yours. You say you understand my point about "opinions" , but my point is about choice, not opinions. As for most people aren't even fans of the Zombie AI, I disagree because on my servers I was being asked to increase the numbers and add in headshot kills for zeds only etc.. So I'm going to end by saying that I think you're being very selective and single minded with your "opinions" here :) Your opinion shouldn't stop others from having a choice. But then saying that, one of the reasons this community doesn't appeal to me any more is the "Play it OUR way, or sod off" attitude reminds me of just how single minded this place is. Peace out :)

Most people do, I'm a very social person. For me social interaction means getting outdoors though, in the real world. But that's another discussion. I get your point and I totally accept it, but all I'm asking is that you try to see what myself and the others are asking for. What about those of us who can't get online ? Would you be ok if we had a billy-no-mates version to play offline? :( please :p

It would to you, but not to others. We all have different gaming styles. I can see it from your point of view and I know what you're saying, but not everyone thinks like you (or the other half of the community). Just try and accept that, ok. Don't get me wrong, if my internet was working properly I'd be online 24/7 , probably on a friendly server of course :p , but as it is right now I cant get online properly , but I would truly enjoy playing it single player with just me, the bots and the zeds!

In my personal experience, I've found that those people who don't like the idea of a single player offline option , are the those type of players who enjoy killing other players for the lols, the sniper hill losers, the trolls, you know the types. Those types don't quite get the same sick pleasure from killing an AI, because AI don't have human feelings and can't be messed with psychologically. Admit it, you don't like the idea of a single player mode because all those millions of players who get fed up with being lol killed will eventually opt for the offline version, which will ultimately leave you and your other lol kill buddies to deal with each other, which is boring because they enjoy killing each other and don't get upset about it.. True? Yeah, It's true!

Single player with AI bandits/heros would be brilliant. I can't play online due to my poor internet connection so I had to give up playing last year, but I do miss the zombie killing, looting and finding vehicles to repair (which I enjoyed with our without other players on the server). So a single player option would be a good idea imho, what's so wrong with wanting to play this game offline anyway? As for comparing this game to WoW , that's just ridiculous (shall we compare it to RuneScape while we're at it?).. I've played DayZ for 3 years, ran several custom servers and one official server. In all that time the one thing I've learnt about the DayZ community is that there are more opinionated single-minded bullies than there are decent open minded live-and-let-live type players. I wish the staff and fan-boys of this community would stop telling everyone HOW the game should be played, if I want to play offline, I'll find a way and just because you don't like the idea doesn't mean it isn't a good idea for myself or others. But then, you compare DayZ to WoW and you've already lost my attention :p lol

Even your mates thought you were a dick. This type of KoS bullshit is the reason why I don't play this game any more. By the way, check your grammar, it's "he's definitely" not "he's is definitely" .. Seriously though, why can't you idiots just piss off and play COD ?

This game never worked as a zombie survival , it might have done in the early days , but once the kiddies, griefers and trolls realised it was EASIER to just kill random players (and more fun for their retarded intelligence), that's what we got. Bandits use Zeds as a player presence identifier and also as a distraction to keep the survivor busy while the bandit gets that headshot lined up. There is zero talent or skill in being a bandit and they'll scream blue murder at you that this is what Dayz is all about, killing other players.. Then they'll come with the "or it'll just be boring as shit" argument, which is another cue pointing at their low attention spans. This game is ruined and you can thank the douche bag PVP'rs for that, they'll not go away and they'll keep insisting this game HAS ALWAYS been about PVP , not zombie survival. There are some better titles in alpha right now, just do a search on Steam, which is why Rocket and his team pushed the their alpha so quickly, think about it, that's all I'm saying.. I have given up on my server to be honest. Even added tanks and a magic box menu option, removed the pvp rules and said "do what you like" .. Once the subscription ends I'll be saying goodbye to DayZ for good. I'm not the only one, there are thousands of people who hate where DayZ has ended up today, but not everyone is willing to say their bit and risk being flamed :p Happy New Year. Peace.

IP in the signature or search for Unit487 (we are the listing with Tanks mentioned) I'm closing down my server in a few weeks so I thought I'd let it go out with style (or zero style, however you choose to read this). I've added tanks, helis with missiles, fighter jets and even a magic box full of goodies that every player can spawn. The server is full-on pvp, no rules other than NO HACKING. Using the magic box is not hacking as we have given you that menu option as a gift (if the menu hasn't appeared after 30 seconds of logging in, relog and wait another 30-45 seconds). The IP is in my signature and you can find by searching for Unit487 (we are the listing that mentions tanks, of course). Unfortunately the server died a death after SA came out and to be honest I think the SA is a big pile of hype and I'll not be buying it or renting a server to host it. I enjoyed the MOD and think the premature release of the standalone is nothing more than a knee jerk reaction to the unfolding list of superior zombie titles due for release in 2014. There are way better zombie survivals on the market or in development , Nether is one and then there's Survarium and a few others that in my opinion are better than the SA and show more promise. DayZ has lost its appeal for me, so don't be pissed with me for speaking my mind. I wish you all a happy new year and hope the game improves and meets your expectations. Peace out.

I was on that server earlier. No issues for me. What were you doing to make them kick you over and over and over and over and over, again? Shutup Itschief! Just shut up..

END GAME!

Aaah, now that explains a lot... about the dumb moderation on these forums! Just saying! :p
