so im the noob of all noobs i dont even have the game yet lol i'll cut to the chase i been wanting to play this game forever but wanted to see how it was going to turn out so i decided to wait and its been a while now since i heard day z was coming out anyway i have a few questions before i actually buy the game 1.)i noticed people advertise their servers and theres in game items what happens if i go into a different server do i stilll get to keep my stuff? is it like bf4 n cod where u keep all your personal stuff whne u server jump? unless your playing on a hacked private server then i guess things would be different for sure 2.) i used to think this was more mmo style with everyone on the same map but now with the servers im guessing its only a limited number of people on every map is that right? maybe 30-40 per map player? 3.) one of the main reasons i never bought the game was cuz my friends dont play pc games (xbox fan boys -_-) after watching tons of videos on dayz it seems the game is more fun when u play with a group of people is this true? or can i roam around on my own and still find something fun to do? 4.) when someone gets killed in the game they lose all their stuff? so everything gets dropped (possibly stolen by the bandit) but if its not stolen how long does it remain in that spot? does it eventually disappear or does it stay there indefinably for me to pick it up if i make way back to that area (idk how respawning works so please elaborate) 5.) crafting is there a written guide somewhere with all the stuff that can be made? 6.) base crafting if i build a base is it still there when i log back on ... i havent even bought the game yet idk how the servers are setup so please explain that if u can i'd really appreciate it 7.)arma/dayz vs dayz sa whats the difference hows the servers set up how many people on each game
