I also heard this 7-8day (43 ingame days) myth, and was busily moving tents every week. Nearby i parked extra tents, barrels and cars. 2 of each, one emty and the other one with items. I never saw only one thing disapear. Interacting with it or not. It was a private server 2 month ago.

I dont like or need 3rd-peron- and public-servers. In a survival-simulator you should not have the possibility to have the view of a drone hovering over u. Also teleporting to another dimension of Chernarus with the same toon is not written in the script of how DayZ is ment to be played, i think. So why give us the possibility to do so? It's a freakin jungle of public-servers out there. Way too much in my opinion. Many of them are only for selfish purpose (mostly not enterable or offline). For me it will have no negative consiquences if BI quit private-conrolled-public server, but for many others like clans and such. But i believe these problems can be solved otherwise. Some more easyly conected private-servers or such, or linking 2 private server for a weekend should solve the most problems i think. Dont know if thats possible. I also dont think that that BI can administrate a nessecary amount of servers. I'm also sure there will be less public-servers on the list (what is great in my opinion). I think the public server will turn into a mess of KOS-Deathmatch with all kind of dupers and such which normaly hidden on their servers while doing their dirty business. In this way BI will be much more faced with all that dirt thats happening on public. I also see BI forced eating all the hate that is curently thrown at the "Badmins". Nevertheless the public will always be well needed for the Game itself. Most new players drop into the game on public servers. Many of them come from CoD, Arma and such and turn to realy friendly and inspired players if they understand the deep of the game. Others will not and keep on KOSing, ghosting and duping and such. But thats OK. DayZ is kind of game that can be played in so many ways. This fact was the reason for me to buy this game, and everyone has the same right to play his way. Thats what private-servers are for and if modding-features are added, public will also change dramaticly. Resüme: Its good i dont have to decide this. The game is in Alpha and the public server need adjustment. @BI dont be shy. Start fixing this. You will do some players a favor as u offend others no matter how u do. How is it ment to be played?

I tried to find me a Lada in the north/east, but, I found the orgin of a rainbow! http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/93851906629703231/A2E84D4884065C286DC5F75552D622E120E39F5D/ http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/93851906629703559/4AF9F09195CE74120ED0C28705093F45D744537C/ I tried to follw and look how far it goes! suddenly: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/93851906629703808/DE09FF4BA9BF132832A2E1825E47AD3CBEA85BA9/ So i went back NE and found me a Lada finally. Removed the doors and drove to Belaya Polana to get hydrated and energyzed. Once stuffed i drove to the westend and found a bay outside the map. http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/93851906629704028/DA49CF787A66986B3ED05CEAF429694064C3D72D/ So, the map goes on. How far? To figure out, i started at the NE.corner of the map and kept going north. http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/93851906629704227/D0E5D3A90903C4C06A1CA714DBF0DC4E3C408BAD/ After a while i found "Lines" that lead me directly north! I could only get back in the car using the Inventory. http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/93851906629704500/063F2E6F441D870A449B160862BCCC5AF2EAF6A6/ http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/93851906629704730/D0C5348D43C06D449ACD4B8C5CB88E097045B472/ After a while af driving, i saw water. Is this the Northcoast?! http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/93851906629705150/87097A954B3F3E787A3B2E0FDDF543A042D56E68/ I kept driving and found a second Lake. And later a third one! http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/93851906629705329/AA5AAF1D360E025F7C55E082F640D001710DDA49/ I left the car a few times to eat. Car was invisible 2 times. I had to relog to see it again. The last look to the dashboard showed me a half full gas-tank. http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/93851906629705505/1B75456B61C297FDBCCAEC03587B34406D1EAC28/ On some point, my vehicle slipped into the ground, turned around and left me alone after 1,5 hour of driving north. So far so good! I was f..... out there! http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/93851906629705743/D0B8249C0A78119B865ED51456CD85AEA230D07E/ I kept on walking! http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/93851906629706210/C9E4ABFD069B0B14C299B7CC3F6DBC9A6F369EA3/ http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/93851906629706405/641DE4A541E7328CC0C534C724D0E71AD99C8863/ http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/93851906629706580/9665717D8DACBC5D2FA51FAFD0184F50035A2BB4/ Untill: http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/93851906629707154/028A09ADBE5CB0903453374DAC1E29F42F52690C/ There is no edge to fall down! This world is huge! Is this all programmed landscape? Is this creating landscape as long i keep going? Can i make a camp at the Lakes out there? There's water and maybe fish. Maybe u can make a gardenplot out there. I It's peacefull out there and a BIT boring. No Zeds, no KOS. Anyway, I'm glad, i teleported back to the coast in the end.!

Thats from the walk the other direction. Leaving the map from SW-corner along the coast, trying to reach NOVIGRAD! http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/93852096644473100/566D8B21A2836988EC839AB9E331820397EABADD/ http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/93852096644473723/94335D895E9F9E81AE4D67F540CAB939DF251138/ http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/93852096644473911/FC07643D0AE71D770A599106262CDF76499F91E8/ http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/93852096644475074/5B60E85C20AF1BA229D7226F8DF73F0DDFA4DE2E/

Something has changed in the game: Some like it. Some not. I like it, i play the game. If i wouldnt like the changes i woud stop playing and write down somewhere my experiences where the devs can read it. Here for example. Not shure if the Devs read Steam-Discussions. Sometimes i write good experience too, but not that often. Sadly noone ever say only thank you, or good done. Want to say, that the view of things could be somehow wrong in this way. Maybe they should bling less, but more finished updates. Changes bring conflicts! Anyway: I´m also watching this Threats on steam. I had a strange picture of DayZ, bevore i played the game. And even more strange, how that changed in the meanwhile. !!! I like changes !!!
