That was the first time my friend and I had ever seen a repairable vehicle in game too. It was completely ruined by this administrator. This is the first time I've ever died in DayZ and had no desire to log back on and start fresh. It pretty much kills it knowing that admins can do this and get away with it.

It's one of the major flaws with the way our characters carry across multiple servers. Any time we go from a server we know to a different one we risk losing days or weeks of hard work to an abusive or careless admin. This kind of situation is particularly frustrating because I didnt even get the chance to go back for my body since he shut down the server.

Yeah, his server is still down as of 30 minutes later. I'm wondering if maybe he's trying to find some way to rollback the server to before he died if that's possible. (I have no idea if it is). That or maybe he just closed it to the public so that he could get all his stuff back and horde the vehicles away somewhere. Whatever other greasy little bitch things he can think of.

I'm not sure if it's against the rules for me to post this here, so I'm sorry if I break any rules in making this post. A friend and I were in cherno just now on the Atlanta 28 server, and we happened to stumble upon a broken down bus. So we went about collecting what we needed to fix it. During this time we heard players approach in a car, so we hid. A few moments later when it seemed like they'd passed, I crawled out onto the field and proned my way to the bus. When I got there, I was sniped. It sucked, but it's DayZ. Whatever. I respawned near cherno and headed back in. Meanwhile my friend had followed the multiple shots it took for the sniper to kill me and found the building the sniper was in. As the sniper climbed down the ladder my friend opened fire on him with an AK Kobra and killed him. We got the message "Saartyr was killed". He went to the body got a brief glimpse of a ridiculous amount of great items, gps, nvg, rangefinders, toolbox, etc. My friend tried to grab the stuff and immediately we got the message that there was a red chain on both our screens, and no response from the server or whatever that message is. I logged out to the lobby and realized that "Saartyr" had the tag "admin" next to his name. The server went down and has yet to be brought back up. He crashed the server to avoid us looting his corpse. I'm not sure if this is the way admins usually act, but it seemed pretty greasy to me and I wanted to warn other players before they made the mistake of playing on his server too.
