Server upgraded to 50 slots. Now more people can easily join in the evenings

Should come as no surprise that Dallas was terrible :D We've moved back to Atlanta.

24X time acceleration has been changed to 4X with a 4HR restart schedule. Ideally, the server will shutdown after it's been dark for an hour or so, then restart just before dawn. Enjoy the night!

I personally like accelerated time servers. 24X seems to be a little excessive and the transition happens nearly instantly which feels odd. I'm testing out 4X on a 4HR cycle, starting around 645AM. Ideally, the server will shutdown after it's been dark for an hour or so, then restart at dawn. Still trying to find that secret sauce though, not sure what works best at the moment.

Some people have mentioned some lag on the server. I have asked Fragnet to relocate the server to Dallas TX in hopes of improving the servers' performance

Time acceleration has been changed to 3X. With a 4 hour runtime, that should give 12 in-game hours. Start time is 0645, so the server should start at dawn and shutdown about an hour after dusk.

24X time accel is on. Currently we are getting 32 minutes of night time, 28 minutes of day time per real world hour.

Thanks to everybody who joined our Hostage Event that we held this weekend! It was a great success. Big thanks to the HERO guys for showing up and kicking ass.

You're completely right, thats why I made the comment like I did. All are welcome to join!

We are a new group, but with roots that go back to the vanilla mod days. Although a small and close knit group, I would like to extend a hand to all who are interested in joining. We completely avoid being cliquey and we absolutely welcome anyone who would like to join us on the server. We are all "mature" (well... older) gamers, most average 30+ years old. I welcome all to use our TeamSpeak, for Hoodrat DayZ or otherwise. I'm very active, as are a handful of other admins who are very happy to help. You can reach us on our TeamSpeak server, or by posting to our forums on the website. All are also welcome to add me on Steam (my contact info on listed here, as well as our website). Though we originally got this server to have more control over the hacker situation in .52, our goal actually shifted early on to be much wider in scope; we want to provide a server for everyone to enjoy. In that vein, we opened up hoodratgaming.com, which includes a forum where you can give us feedback or ask questions and, of course, a blog where we share server news and post our stupid, silly screenshots. We offer a low pop private hive server (30 max) with very active admins. Our goal is to provide a server for all to enjoy, free of hackers (hopefully) and void of all people being dicks. Our only rule doubles as our mission statement: Don't be a dick. This means: No hacker, no exploits, no cheating of any kind,This does NOT mean: No trolling, no griefing, no KOSThis can also be taken as: kill all squeakers. All play styles are welcome. KOS, RP, lazy gamer ... whatever you like, we do not discriminate. All are welcome.
