Alright, so voice chat or direct chat are the way to talk to people nearby. Caps lock is for direct voice chat, / is for direct text chat, and , and . are to change channels. I tried the numpad enter key, but maybe I did something wrong, I'll try it again. I figured that would be the case, that's fine though. That sucks that you can only have one character, it will make things difficult. But I suppose we'll make due.

So, I just started playing Dayz with my buddy the other day. And we were both having some troubles figuring out the controls. Here are my questions: 1) How do you talk in global chat? Or chat at all? We couldn't figure out how to talk outside of "group" chat, so we couldn't ever answer other people. We also saw people talking in a blue global chat at one point. 2) How do you switch to 3rd person? It seems pretty simple, but there wasn't anything under keybindings. 3) When you clear zombies from an area to make said area your base of operations, will zombies respawn there? 4) When you find other clothing, is it safe to equip it? I had seen some posts on the forums that equipping guilly suit/camo can break your game. 5) Can you make more than one character at a time? My friend and I want to play together, but we aren't always on at the same time. I'd love to have one character I play with my friend and one I can play on my own. Best, Anselm.
