I guess the point of this thread was to see if enough people were interested and wanted to start a group to do so. It's probably harder than it sounds... - We would need enough people to scout and scavenge; and protect - Then there would need to be enough people to be on that server there 24 hours a day That's a lot of people. Any volunteers?

Agreed, I was thinking about the practicality of actually accomplishing this on a public server rather than the spirit of the game.

The only reason I would want it private is to avoid PvP and trolling. You are correct it could be done on a public server, it would just require more people to accomplish.

I imagine that most people playing this game are fans of shows / movies like The Walking Dead on AMC. One of the things that you see in TWD and other Zombie thriller shows is that the survivors band together to setup a camp or base. DayZ does a great job of making you an individual in it's world. Since it is a persistent sandbox, I wonder if we could get a group together to go the other way and see if the survivors couldn't build up a specific area as a base and dominate the map. Here is what I propose: 1. (Removed) 2. The base would be setup at Docks at Berezino. This site was selected for the 3 hangers, the towers, and the mostly intact wall. It's big enough for a large number of players, and should be reasonably defensible. 3. Hanger 1 would be used for an Armory; Hanger 2 would be a Motor Depot; Hanger 3 would be a Cafeteria. 4. Members would be able to use anything in any of the hangers. 5. The goal would be to get as much as possible in one location. Guns / ammo; get some vehicles running; have plenty of food, water, and medical supplies. 6. I would envision that there would be 2 groups of people: Admin / Security; Scouts. 7. Admin and Security would be responsible for organizing the items, repairing vehicles, and guarding the base and supplies. 8. Scouts would go out in groups of 2. 1 would be carrying weapons and ammo, the other would be responsible for carrying the supplies back to the base. Anyone interested?

Yea, read about it Kotaku, watch some vids, downloaded the mod, and then went and bought it from Steam
