I'm not really interested in a clan, I prefer to run with one person or so. I'm usually on CST evenings, but might play at different times as well. I have a flexible schedule. I'm also willing to play any map, I usually play Namalsk or Chernarus, the former being my favorite so far. You don't have to be good at DayZ. I require that we use TS, Vent or Mumble. I use TS mostly and we can use my clan's public server. I dislike Skype for gaming. I will also only play on NA servers, since ping is an issue for me. Finally, you must be a mature adult, hence the 21+ in the title. I will make an exception if you can convince me you're not a savage child from Lord of the Flies. I generally play as a bandit, but a relatively friendly one. I only shoot people if they might be a threat, or I want their beans better gear. Which, come to think of it, is everyone except fresh spawns. Just add me on Steam to talk about it if you're interested. My Steam is David Jerk

Too late. It's already mainstream, which has changed the dynamics of the game. Also, it's a very simple game, hard to get more noob friendly than it already is. The first few weeks of the mod were the best. People took an interest in it as a niche within a niche. People chose to be bandits or survivors, and the split there was about even. You never knew if someone was going to shoot you or feed you. I was never once shot at when I spawned. Then the game really caught on. People started telling people, those people told other people. It caught some media attention and popularity increased dramatically. Now, you have a high chance of being shot at by 5 people grouping together with Skype, etc. Team/Deathmatch is how many people see it. Face it, nothing ever stays the same. That's not necessarily a bad thing. Games change, just like everything does. If you don't like it, bugger off somewhere else.

I'm looking for a server with all channels except local disabled. I think Rocket mentioned it will eventually be disabled, I'd just like it now.

Nearly unplayable for me. 5-10 FPS at lowest possible settings. Normally 30+ on high.
