Thats right, i know this. But here are so many other games, with more wildlife, zombies/monster and even more players. And in all these other games you dont have so much traffic. I have the choise. A high speed LTE connection with 15Gb volume or i have unlimated internet with UMTS speed...

Hello DayZ Community, for me, i have a big problem while playing DayZ. I live in a small village in germany and need to use a LTE internet connection. This means, i have data volume from 15GB every month. Normally, it´s enough for me and my wife. That means, my wife can surf in the internet and i can play the normal online games, like COD, B4, Diablo3, LoL or WoW without any problems, my data volume was always enough. Now i buyed DayZ to play it with my friends. But now to my problem. In 4 Days playing DayZ i had a playtime from ~30 hours (weekend). In this ~30 hours i had a datatraffic from ~5GB for just playing DayZ! That's pretty much. Thats the first game i ever played which has so much traffic. After i saw that, i started a little test with my friends. 1. Test: I joined a server with 3/30 players at night. I played 30 minutes and had a data traffic from 35-45 MB. 2. Test: I joined a server with 20/30 players at day time. Her i had 300MB traffic after 30 minutes. 3. Test. I joined a server with 30/40 players with 2 friends. We played again together for 30 minutes. Her i had a datatraffic from over 500MB. In all 3 tests i just walked around, dont loot anything or killed some one. I'm just walking around on the map and i want want to play with my friends now, I can only play 1 hour every day with them and this is crap. Can someone explain my this high traffic? Or explain me how i can avoid so much traffic? Thanks for your answers and sorry for my bad english.
