Thank you, I'll give them ago later when online :)

Tempted to try your shard out but can never find it the server list, what am I doing wrong? I did check your forums on Saturday for the password and signed up today.

Not necessarily, Some players may of just been killed in Novo, got a friend watching over his gear, and get a Cherno Spawn. There's nothing bad about trying to save time.

Idk about the discount, only that we've received one in the past so our site owner as suggested going the same route (can't hurt to as, right?). I've just check again and you are indeed correct regarding the donations " Donate now to gain access to our private shard servers" so I guess that's the route we'll be taking if we have to go down that route at all. I kind of feel bad asking players outside of our community to "donate" just trying to gauge a viable way of getting a sustainable shard up and running given the dwindling playerbase at present. Hopefully enough of our lads/lasses will chip in and make it a viable thing before we have to even consider that route.

Totally agree with the overpriced statement, but it was nice to see an email from Vilayer this morning showing their prices are the cheapest currently (30 slot = £50, 40 slot = £66). Hopefully we can arrange some sort of discount with them (have in the past) and finally get our shard up. But a 100+% mark up on servers is ridiculous imo. What's everyone's opinion on admins charging players a small fee to gain access to their shards? As I've seen a couple of shards doing this (totally understand given the overheads) just gauging opinion for the time being.

Well, in 585 hours of Standalone gameplay I've only been kicked 3 times and in 200+hours as an admin I've kicked only about 12 players(which were confirmed hackers, that were kick/banned after being killed. I've just scrolled down the server list and only found one locked server which I believe was a dev test server, but had zero players in it anyway. Point I'm making is, what used to be common place 3months ago with badmins/locked servers isn't exactly the same story today. I also believe admins should get more tools to combat hackers (one of our servers is currently ranked No.2 in the world) so we see a lot of hackers and get messages about players hacking but can do very little to clean up our own server. If admins tools were used to negative effect then I'm sure those admins would get complaints logged against them and the server would be sanctioned, so I can't see no harm in allowing the admins the powers to clean up what is effectively becoming a hackfest, especially in the last month.

In regard to admins locking servers, The server providers are addressing admins that lock servers. We run 2 well established servers and one of our newly appointed admins locked the server(he says accidental, regardless we removed admin rights) within 5 mins of the server being locked I received an email informing me of the T&C's, that the server had been taken offline and that I'd have to manually restart it! Along with the complimentary-don't do it again! This was with Vilayer btw, but can't knock their prompt response, very impressed tbh.

Who needs enemies with "friends" like these? If it were me I'd tell this so called friend he owes me a Arma 2 combined ops code, once obtained I'd then delete him from my friends list. On another note, it's nice to see battleeye working well :)

Recently switched from consoles to PC purely for the adrenaline rush & squeaky arse moments this game constantly gives me. I'm not really looking for a clan as such, just a bunch of like minded guys to squad up with on our travels around standalone. About me: I'm a mature gamer (33) with roughly 55 hours logged so not a total noob, but been playing FPS's for over 10 years with Battlefield being my main poison until I found DayZ. I'm a UK player and free most nights after 10pm with the occasional late afternoon thrown in if work is light. I'm easy going & like a giggle but also know how to be tactically aware. So I'm putting this out to you guys as I can't convince my regular playing guys to switch from PS4. So if a few f you wanna link up and want some extra cover on your travels, let me know. Stay safe fellow survivors. Steam name: SHADES

Hey Cobra1, Yes mate still looking for dudes but having to build a new PC this week as my other one died, should be good to go by Monday I'd imagine. Add me on steam: Paulie (one with the DayZ logo)

I do exact same thing but not to be cruel just for self preservation really. Players walking into a town automatically go on a higher alert if they see doors open than if they were shut. Also gives me an idea that if I'm looting a certain are and I've closed that door behind me but now it's open, then I'm not alone!

Thanks for the reply, I'll give it a look tomorrow as I should of been in bed 2hrs ago. Thanks again.

Lol, I was hoping for a PS4 release but having brought SA on my workstation(not really up to running DayZ) and SA being in Alpha and the state that its in currently I finally realised that waiting for it to come to PS4 was a bad move so went out and built a decent PC which was honestly the best decision I've made in while, I love my PS4 but PC is where its at! Also with the optimisation issues Planetside 2 is having switching to PS4 i think it will be at least a couple of years before if not when we see DayZ on PS4 Now I just need guys to play with...
