Hello community, created an account specifically for this post! I am a PC gamer and "hopefully" developer :) for a looong time now, and I have been playing and following DayZ since 2013. The whole story of a humble ARMA II mod is horrendous to watch. I enjoy ARMA series and BI are sure one of the rare goodhearted developers that stand by its products and community. But the story of aforementioned mod reads quite different - it is pointless to go into details but in short: a great product (BIs ARMA) enables a great idea (Deans DayZ) to come alive and gives rise to a great community that pulls community team work, collaboration, cooperation and creates a wonderful product that satisfies bith gaming and artistic/creative/developer/programming interests. The future is yet to see but you don't have to be a scientist to notice that something is just not right ! I personally think that DayZ Standalone should exist and will develop into a great product but without Original DayZ mod and the wonderful and talented community nothing would be a reality. DayZ mod (with the whole ARMA II engine content universum) should coexist in its own right and be developed further by community. I believe BI are the furthest from forgetting their ARMA II product and will lovingly stand by it - as it is a great product. What is the status od DayZ mod now? I think BI and whole BI DayZ project are two different cups of tea. Maybe it would be prudent to write an open letter from the DayZ community to BI and directly ask what we want to know. Aur0ra
