I am the admin for 1637. I created the server so all my friends and I have a single server that we can all play on and not have to worry about the server being outdated, restarted, shutdown. I've had the server for about two weeks, but recently this hacking situation has gotten out of hand. The past two days I haven't been able to play on it because of hackers. If I ban everybody that I see on my server as a regular then my server will get shut down. If I lock the server so just my friends and I can play.... my server will be shut down. Or if I password protect it guess what... my server will be shut down. With the DayZ team now working on the standalone that means that they probably don't really care about the hacking situation in the current mod, and I sure as hell will not pay extra money out of my pocket to just keep losing all my stuff. Therefore I will shut my server down, and just play on others servers. I am sorry if any of you have camps or anything on my server, but this is just plain ridiculous. I am not somebody that complains normally and I am a very patient person, however this is just out of hand. Once again I apologize. Any questions/comments/concerns please post them here. Thank you. - Kunk "Admin of US 1637" UPDATE: As of now I have decided to continue my server. It no longer will shutdown at the end of this month. A few donations from some of the server regulars convinced me not to shut it down. I am looking forward to seeing more people on now. Take care!

Does the chopper still spawn or no?

Just one bump to spread the word.

Update: I will NOT be shutting the server down now. Happy scavenging!

I'd like to know to.

That seems like something myself and my group would be interested in. I just don't have the time to set all that up. If anybody has a server or what not that is private, just let me know and maybe we can work something out. My group has about 8-10 people in it currently.

Yes I understand on that, its just I really think they should allow us to lock our servers, or set them to be password protected. Just frustrating when I feel like I'm waisting my money. Haha yes, I read that eariler. Pretty awesome, but not enough for me to keep spending my money. I'll still play, but not at the expense of me paying for a server. Also I plan on leaving the server up until the end of the month, since I already paid up until the 30th so that will give people enough time to transfer all the items off the server. I know my group has a few vehicles so maybe the last day or two I can setup a fun little last-day hoorah thing. I'll keep this thread updated for anything new.

Ok so this event occured on 08/06/2012 at around 7pm EST. My buddy and I were driving a Offroad Pickup Truck around the west coast just looting all the citys searching for ghilles and such. We are south of Vybor searching the little house just past the bridge when I told him "Hey the server filled up, we need to keep an eye out for others." As we are driving into Vybor we hear at least two rifles open up on our truck. My buddy (driver) speeds into town, but gets stuck trying to go around a road block, and gets killed by a headshot. I get shot as well, and it drops me down to 5K health. The truck crashes into a wall, and I am still getting shot at so I jump out of the truck and take off running. I managed to lose our attackers, and run into the building with three stories. (Just like the one in Elektro). I lay on the roof prone for about 5 minutes, while I'm scrambling on Mumble for all our members to come assist. As I do, I see another player crouched in the courtyard by the truck so I take a few shots at him, and kill him. One bandit kill.... so I know I got the guy that killed my buddy. Now at this time I was starting to wonder if it was only one attacker. As I'm about to start heading downstairs and to the street, I hear a AK-74 open fire south of me. Then another M16 opens up so the south east of me. So now we got two others fighting in town. As they duke it out, by buddy on mumble informs me that a military offroad is on his way to me with at least two people in it. So now we have three groups in Vybor. Mine (4 of us), our attackers (2-3) and another group (2-3). I continue to stay prone on the roof just scoping out the area. Then I start hearing footsteps underneath me. I peak around the corner and see a man in a ghillie suit about to ambush me. I take him out, but see somebody else running away. I switch positions in the building for my advantage, and wait patiently. I sit in the top roof watching the stairs while looking out the window to see if somebody takes the ladder. About 10 minutes go by and all of sudden a I see somebody crawl past on the outside roof, so I run out and take him out. At this point I don't hear anymore firing, but my buddy that was killed eariler has made it back to the south side of the city with the aide of a Bike he found at Balota. Seeing how I have now killed three people we assuming that we are clear. As he is approaching the truck, he gets shot in the back and drops dead. Now we know at least one other is here. I lay on the roof once again and after about 10 minutes I see another man in ghille crawling up the street. Once again I pop up and take him out. So now I am at thee murders and a bandit kill. I tell my teammates that its time for me to sprint for the truck while they provide sniper cover. I sprint to the truck and managed to get it un-stuck from the rubble and was able to drive away. Sorry for the long post, but it was defintily one of the scariest moments in the game for me since I had my NvGs, rangefinder, and M4 CCO SD with me. Hope you all enjoyed it. I know... I know.... Cool Story Bro.

Yeah, so far this has been the highlight of my DayZ experience from the 2 months I've been playing. I wish one of the people that were involved was on here so I can hear the story from others perspective.

Hello all, so I just rented a server from HFBServers. I just had a few questions. I would ask HFB directly, but their live chat is down. I'll just label my questions here. 1. How do I restart the server? Whenever my buddy restarted the server it would come up just saying "Session lost". When I hit the reset or stop button in the control panel it just says "No message recieved for X seconds" I know doing that will not allow the server to connect to the hive the next time. 2. If hackers get all the vehicles is there a way to completely refresh the map. Like put all vehicle spawns back to default. I know hackers are running rampart right now so I want to be preparred if the situation arises. That is all I got for now. If anymore pop up I will post them here. Thanks in advance.

Awesome thank you for the quick response. Just a few counter questions. 1. Ok so there is no difference with the "Session lost" and "No message recieved for X seconds" as far as reset? Just want to clarify, because once I had the "No message recieved for X seconds" and when I popped back in all my tents were gone" but everytime I get a "Session lost" my tents are right back when I log on. Sorry for the confusion, and thanks again. 2. Ok thanks for that, just wanted to make sure.

So I see that this thread is 90 pages long so forgive me if this has been asked, but has Rocket addressed the issue with tents? Every time the server resets I lose all my gear in tents. It is quite frustrating, because I have a backpack full of gear, but I can't store it anywhere because I will just lose it on the next server reset. ANY word on a fix for this would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I'd give a pair of NvGs for a M4A1 CCO SD.

Alrighty so my old character had an M4A1 CCO SD then I got killed by a sniper, and I truly miss that weapon. I'd be willing to trade a DMR with about 5 mags or I have medical supplies or other types of guns/accessories. Just let me know what you are looking for, and I can see if I have it. Thanks!

So I updated to 1.7.1 this morning, and I also downloaded the most recent beta. When I connect to a 1.7.1 server all goes well until I get to the "Loading" screen. The next part should be me spawning, but I'm not. It just stays at loading. Any help? I'm launching using Steam Overlay, but I did do that Launch Options thing. Thanks!

Awesome stuff. Is it safe to equip new camos yet, or will you still spawn in the ocean?
