I did a search and theres no topic on this so thought i would make one. I have noticed there is no ingame preferences in DayZ for admins to change. So how about we get a list together for the dev's to think about adding some. There are many server that when clans or people want to play, mainly in the evening, its dark or dusk on there server and the only way around this is changing the server clock time or playing on a server in a different time zone. so having a ingame preference can help. I know the servers have to be based on real time, so we are going to be limited on what preferences can be added. So some preferences examples. 1. Changing server time. 2. Changing the amount of zombies on the server. ( Min amount must be set to stop servers turning them off. ) Also could be based on the Server skill lvl. This also depends on server load and the spec's of the server. 3. Changing the weather. (clear, cloudy, raining, dynamic.) 4. Vehicles (None, Ground only, Air only or Both.) Again depends on server load and the spec's of the server. 5. Cross Airs. (on, off) 6. First person (on, off) Any other that I think of I will add. But feel free to suggest your own. Comments welcome.

As far as I know, it stays on the server you place it on. But if in a backpack can be moved to diffrent server.

As there is no reply to my suggestion, is it ok to rename our server to : DayZ - UK25 (v1.7.0/Beta 93666) [REGULAR|3DP:ON|CH:ON][GMT+1] dayzmod.com - Waiting Activation While we are waiting whitelisting. ?

Greetings all this post is mainly for the admins and those waiting whitelisting. Having set up our DayZ server today, Thanks for the help Razor, I have noticed many people trying to join the server even though it isn't active yet. Would it be a good idea for those waiting whitelisting to put in the title for now example. DayZ - UK25 (v1.7.0/Beta 93666) [REGULAR|3DP:ON|CH:ON][GMT+1] dayzmod.com - Waiting Activation Then this will tell those joining said server that the game isn't running yet and to move to another server. It would also tell the admins what servers are waiting whitelisting. Just an idea. As from a player point of view, its annoying waiting to join a sever to be lock on waiting for char creation or loading. comments welcome.

Greetings blackfuse. In short, my server provider, all ready rent out Arma 2 servers and some with the DayZ mod added as well as other server. we also rent our BF3 server from them. I asked them for a dedicated server that would run 1 Arma 2 DayZ 50 slot server, and 1 Arma 2 rubber 30 slot server and TS. They offered me a system that could run that. I rented the next system up from that system. They seem to be shocked I think of the spec's posted, and asked for the min spec required. After I asked them how much for a upgrade to run a DayZ server. As you said "It's not DayZ requiring this, its ARMA2." :)

I've contacted my dedicated server provider regarding the new specs of running a DayZ server, as based from OP. They would like to know what the min spec's for running a Day Z server is. Or is what is posted in the OP above the min spec's. On another note. I know my dedicated server can run 3 x battle field 3 server with 64 slot on each and run fine. Yet according to the spec above it can't run 1 DayZ server. For some one that builds computers and our clan has run servers for 10+ years. I find this to be a joke. If you are wanting to alienate the general public from the DayZ mod you are on the right track. Many have took a intrest in your DayZ mod because its so dam good and every thing that goes with it. Many have spent cash to buy the game Arma2+ addons, Even rented servers. Just to play this mod alone, Then you basicly slapped everyone who is intrested in helping and running a DayZ server in there faces. This is mine and our clans opinion, up to the rest of you if you agree or not.
