I think the biggest thing here is your company has a twitter account, use it. If your backlogged your backlogged, and the time it took to make this post on the DayZ forums could have been spent to make a post on your own companies twitter so everyones at least got a place of reference to look for status updates. I bought a server myself thursday and I really feel I shouldn't have to spend time hunting through the DayZ forums for information on a server I didn't buy from them. I can understand not wanting to put out 300 emails or answer a million tickets about a delay, but really had you sent and email or put up a post saying "Were backlogged. We're fixing it on a case by case basis. If you own a server and it's down please leave a ticket, everyone else please be patient you will not be charged for days waiting for your server to be brought online." That probably would have saved your headaches 20 fold and slapping that on your twitter would have taken less then a minute.

Which is a problem in itself. You spawn completely defenseless and as soon as you find a weapon suddenly everything's at your feet. 30 min in and I have compass, map, ak, 1911, knife, hatchet, matches, blood, epi, and an alice that spawned on top of a Czech. They didn't make it harder, they just made it frustrating for the first 5 -10 min and then you have no reason to be a bandit.
