Hello, Bean King! I'm experiencing several problems; are these easy fixes or would I need to submit a ticket? (1) When I move a player on the map from the Control Panel, I receive the pop-up saying "Survivor was moved", but then after about 3-4 seconds, the map shows them back where they were before. In-game, the player has not moved at all. (2) The command to Heal Player, once activated, generates a pop-up which reads "Survivor healed and infection removed. Refreshing players", but nothing happened and the player remains in his same condition. (3) Vehicles added into the map with the RCLICK+Add Vehicle option do not immediately appear on the map. (4) While I initially set up my account selecting Lingor Island as the map, I later decided to try Fallujah instead. Unfortunately, each time I tried to connect I was stuck at "Waiting for host" until finally I was kicked because "BattleEye Not Responding". I didn't have this problem with Lingor (and yes, I have installed the Fallujah mod through DayZ Commander, just as I did with Lingor, which worked). (5) Finally, where can I go to in order to verify which email address I used to sign up for your service? I recall various options when I set up my account, but none of these asked for an email address (if one did, I apologize that I do not recall it). If I have to send you a ticket, I want to be sure it comes from an email address that you will recognize. Regards,

Well... It's clearly not as easy as one would have suspected, but the way the Control Panel is arranged and the Beginner's Guide provided really make it a smooth and simple transition. Like anything you try out, things will only be as complicated as you let them. The more you want to tweak and modify the game, the more difficult it will be; but that's understandable and, frankly, expected If you want to run a simple, stable and straight-forward game of DayZ, this would definitely be my recommendation. I have found that nearly all of my questions (so far, this is only Day 2) can be answered either in the Beginner's Guide or on the Wiki in general... except for one. Where can I get proper Admin Tools that would help facilitate my tasks and responsibilities? For example, the ability to TP from place to place, the ability to trigger God Mode, spawn-in items instantly, change my appearance, etc. If these abilities are offered through third-party software, is there one that you endorse or recommend? Thank you!

You know what? I'm going to give it a shot. Thank you for all of your help and feedback, Bean King. The way I see it, best case scenario, it's a great experience and my friends and I have a blast. Worst case scenario, I bite off more than I can chew, call it a day and notch my belt with another lesson learned.

Hello, Bean King! First and foremost, thank you for the prompt response. What you explained is extremely appealing. My mental server image would have SelfBB, AI, Towing and Helilift... but to start, I would want to run one relatively simple and basic; I want to learn to walk before I try to run. I acknowledge the limited assistance you would on a modified setup; that seems pretty sensible. Just as if you heavily modify a brand new car, you're jeopardizing the warranty. Knowing that, regardless of the path I take, help options will exist is a comforting thing. A beginner's guide and a handy Wiki simply sweeten the deal. I have three final questions that will convince me to make it happen this weekend or to shelve it and reconsider. First, is the opportunity to alter the spawning load-out, add additional vehicle spawn points and add additional buildings something within the realm of reasonable possibilities? By this I mean, is this something that can be easily done with your interface or are those types of changing something that will require external assistance? Next, is there a required contract term? For example, I sign up, I pay my first month and 20 days in I realize that I have bitten off more than I can chew, or that the grass really isn't always greener on the other side. Can I simply cancel, thank you for the experience and be on my way? Finally, I confess that I am not familiar with the different server-type options; what's the difference between official? Private? Hive? Thank you again for this.

Hello! Like some, I have had a a lot of difficulty finding a server that is run and configured exactly how I like it. Some have too little of one thing, some have too much of another, and in some cases, the server is perfect but the admins are pushy and annoying. So, I've been contemplating hosting my own and molding it to the exact specifications and conditions that my friends and I want (and perhaps anyone else who may stumble onto it) However, my biggest is concern is, admittedly, the fact that I have never hosted my own server before. Ever. I am coming into this as unseasoned and untested as one can be. I would like to know what sort of guidance, support and/or information you have for a first-timer such as myself? On that note, are you and/or your staff tolerant and patient enough to deal with my epic-level deluge of moronic and potentially frustrating questions?

Hello, All! Like most DayZ zealots, I use DayZ Commander to get into the game and sort the many servers I play in. One day I stumbled onto PAZSAS, and really, I haven't looked back... To me, PAZSAS serves as the pinnacle of servers, balancing everything you want from the game; Veteran difficulty (because no one should magically see bright green writing telling you who that is lying prone on a rooftop 700m away), plentiful buildings and barracks (loot!), a fair number of vehicles (Ram the Zs! Heli Evac!), a good spread of mods (Self-Bloodbag, anyone?), good connection with little-to-no lag (yellow chain? red chain? Never heard of it) a good core of reliable, fair and knowledgeable admins (no Freaks of Nature running around in God Mode and TPing to people they don't like for epic executions or unjust retaliation because you disagree on who is the best rugby team), and- most importantly- a great collection of players. Granted not everyone will welcome you with open arms, it IS a PvP server after all, but is is reassuring to know that not everyone you meet is immediately lining up their cross-hairs with the base of your skull. PAZSAS is newbie and Bambi-friendly. I can't promise no one will mock you, but I can assure you that you will receive assistance and a genuine opportunity to thrive on your own. The way we see it, the better other people play, the more we will enjoy the game. Today, it's the only server on my DayZ Commander list. When you find the best, why bother with the rest? Stay safe and see you in the field. -[umbrella] Ragepriest
