no, absolutely wrong. First and for most, this is alpher. That means that things get added, things get tweaked, things get removed (wash rinse repeat) etc. If you're restrained, and you log, it should be a death sentence... e.g. you decided you just couldn't take it any more and really got the 'easy way out'. Same if you are unconscious. That said, I have to go back to my first statement. I believe that the logging due to unconsciousness, (which may or may not be tied to being restrained) was causing issues with the hive. The immediate fix was to just kill the character that's passed out if he dc's. I doubt it is a 'punishment', just an alpher hot fix. I would however like to think that dc's of restrained people is (or at least should be) a punishment.
To answer directly "What is wrong with getting away from the game and come back whenever you have the time"... when you are restrained and you log out, are those accosting you (and making that particular DayZ scenario that you are a part of) going to be waiting for you to que back up into position "whenever you have the time"? No, so yes, you should be punished for logging and taking the experience away from other players because you didn't like the situation you found yourself in.
Well, all of the above... and...
... its a fckin game. If losing all your shit once in a blue moon due to having to disconnect under fire/while being restrained, forces you into a depression and expectations of reimbursement/etc, you should seek professional help instead of playing Day Z.

Let's keep the discussion about pro's and con's of 24hr cycles to the whine threads, shall we?
All I'm interested is server names and IP's. 98% of the servers seem to have gone the way of 24 hr daylight and I'm sure yours will be fine if you do the same. I'll at least have a month or two of proper challenging gameplay until the standalone turns into the same daylight/clear skies/2000+ vehicles DMR/McGhillie snipefest that the mod turned into...

Preach it brother.
If you search "Musty Gaming" their/our server always has a decent population and has a 24 hour cycle.
I'll post a few other servers I frequent tomorrow as well.
Thx man!
I typed 'Musty' in the filter/host option, but nothing is coming up. AmIdoinItwrong? Or do you have an IP that I can use to joing directly?

Now that the cries of a hundred thousand sad souls has made the sun stand still on 99% of the servers available, can someone plz list servers that has the ACTUAL 24-hour cycle running? I don't care about time zones or when the sun is where, as long as it's rotating around the axis of the fckin planet and it keeps doing so for those of us who appreciate the game as it was intended to be played?

List of 24-hour cycle servers

No... The best would be to not let admins disable the cycle at all, and then adjust the cycle to fit locally +/- a few hours at admins' discretion, letting everyone play on equal terms. E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E...
That way, you'd see day/evening in your own respective prime time, AND you'd encourage people to play in their own respective time zones, which would get rid of the growing segment of risk averse t*rds who deliberately play on high ping servers to give them an extra seconds' time to pull the plug if someone in their immediate vicinity as much as sneezes.
As for the whole thing with unemployment/lifers/no-lifers, please explain to me why ANYONE's itinerary should affect game development. The game has night time in it, because people are MEANT to deal with it. If you can't or if you just want insta action, go play something that will offer you that. If you don't have time to play the game, the way its intended, don't play it. You don't see me picking up chess and whinging at my opponent winning by default, when I suddenly get up and leave to go have dinner or drag my ass to school, do you?
It may be harsh - but that's what (was) great about Day Z. Circumstances out of your control that has to be dealt with - be it harsh weather, darkness, light, disease, fatigue, bandits or zombies. Instead, we're gonna get (yet another) hellhole of everyone running custom servers with CLEARSKIES/CLEARDAYZ/OMGDAYLIGHT/SPAWN-WITH-DMR-UNL-AMMO/+Selfbloodbag/GODMODE/2K+ VEHICLES settings. To be honest, I'm surprised noone has thought of removing the zombies entirely from their servers either - but then again, it's hard to be badass just playing playing Farmville...
