DayZ Paladin

Okay so maybe I'm a bit partial but I really like the server that I rent/admin and the people who regularly play on it. The MOTD encourages folks to not KOS and states to show that you are friendly wear a yellow or orange raincoat. Thus far it's worked extremely well. We even have a small group of people who actively patrol the new spawn area and help out the new spawns and prosecute spawn killers. In the month or so I've had the server up I've only been KOS once and that was last night from a sniper. Personally I like to see humans acting humane and would hope in a survival situation we wouldn't completely revert back to animals. I currently spend around $100 dollars from my own pocket every month and consider it money well spent. I actually rented a server from all 3 of the providers (Gameservers.com, Multiplaygameservers.com and Vilayer.com. After trying each for a couple of days, I finally chose Vilayer because their server pings were lowest (even in same city hosting), there interface was more user friendly and their support was top notch. One final note, I simply love this game. Most complain about it being alpha but I see that as a plus. This way I get to watch every week or two as new and exciting things are added. How many other games update with so much new content that regularly? Plus you absolutely can't top Rocket's open and active participation in the forums and online. Stop by and say hi.

This game is basically DOA right now. I was renting a server but let it drop off because it averaged 3 people on at any time. The game has gotten stale when the only thing to do is gear up and run around until someone shoots you, then rinse and repeat. ZZZzzz What's worse is this HUGE update is snoresville too. There's some cool things but nothing that will bring me back to play it for more than an hour or two. Sorry Rocket but the timing couldn't be worse buddy for you to announce your departure then the game doesn't have an update for over a month.

No we don't kick for high ping, but it might mean your game experience isn't optimal. :(

Just saw this....thanks.

Same thing here on my server

That's interesting, how exactly does one "delete a character?" I'm a renter/admin/host and there is no such button on any of my screens. If someone has "hacked" the backend then yes they should be removed/shutdown. However I can say that even joining my own server I have had my character reset for no reason on several occasions. I just chocked it up to connection issues and started over. Seriously it only takes about an hour or two to re-gear in this game right now anyway.

Maybe it's just me, but as a server admin/renter I personally refrain from kicking unless I see someone doing something shady (ghosting/combat logging/etc.). Having said that it cracks me up to see people post on forums complaining about this sort of thing. Here's a thought, if you don't like the server you are playing on, then don't play on it.
