United Survivors is a pretty popular non PVP server with plenty of people on to help you out. I've seen 30 players or so on during peak hours. You can search "United Survivors" on DayZ Commander and it should pop up. They have 2 servers. Both non PVP and plenty of friendly people.
I remember my first kill as well. And what a great one it was. I was running around cherno as a fresh spawn trying to get some basic gear before heading north. Heard this guy over side chat calling for someone to come to the elektro church because he had been shot and needed blood. Well I grabbed a blood bag from cherno hospital and headed to elektro to help him. About halfway there another guy said over side chat that he was outside the church and was coming in and telling the other guy not to shoot. Apparently the guy shot him and was laughing over side chat about it. So I was like ok I'm gonna go mess this dude up. Had a lee enfield and crept around the back of elektro coming up behind the firehouse. Well about that time I saw a guy on top of the elektro firehouse camping and aiming at the church. As it turns out the guy that was asking for blood in elektro church was actually sitting on top of the firehouse shooting anyone who walked into the church. So I took out my enfield and I saw another guy climbing the ladder to the top of the firehouse. He gets to the too and boom, he's dead. His body is laying on top of the ladder blocking the view down it. So I crept my way to the top of the ladder just before getting to the top and I see him laying prone on the roof of the firehouse aiming at the ladder. I just sat there just out of sight for several mins waiting for him to turn away. He crouched and looked down the ladder a couple times and couldnt see me because the body of the guy he killed was blocking his view of the top of the ladder. Finally he turned back toward the church and I came up the ladder and gave him a headshot to the back of the skull.
Not sure if you're aware since you just said you bought Arma II, but in addition, you'll also need to have Arma II: Operation Arrowhead to be able to play DayZ.
I'd be down to team up with some other players. I've been playing DayZ for a while so I know my way around. May be able to show some of you new guys some stuff. Add ComeAtMeBroheim on Steam if you wanna get together and play!
