    Beside the well known pros for non hive servers like

    -less dcing

    -no serverhopping

    -less cheater

    -a real community

    -admins that are able to administrate etc

    there are also things like fixing the tentbug before the offical fix or having scripts that shutdown most of the arma 2 stuff (meaning tanks,jets etc cant even be spawned on that server)

    i dont know what has happened to the dayz mod, but since things are only going sideways, i ld say rocket is focusing on the standalone and only invest a very small time at the current mod.

    Things must be really messed up when private servers offering better service than the offical ones.

    oh come on. i encountered a private server a while back and the settings were pretty much the same as the offical ones. of course you are not really helping if you play on that server, but that never was the point. since you dont get payed to test, i ld say the enjoyment is your paycheck.

    im not supporting the ppl on such servers or the hosters of it. but i understand WHY they are doing it. as said the joyment is your pay, and getting this destroyed by serverhopping, dcing, warping etc makes u chose between 3 things

    -taking it manly and start new

    -leave the mod for good

    -playing on a private server

    as i also said before, when the mod got to beta or above this wont be a problem anymore except for the loked for friends only servers.

    We are not here to play we are here to test.

    well if you go all public with an alpha/beta you have to except ppl are just going to enjoy the game instead of focused testing. beside that most betas are for commercial purpose these days anyway.

    btw, the ppl that just want to enjoy dayz and explicitly bought arma2 for exactly that are the reason why this shit got so popular. without them you wouldnt need more than 2 servers and no one ld know this mod ;)

    ofc the serverhopping and dcing is one side but let me show you another side why non hive servers pop up

    1. offical servers are unavailable or messed up (after a patch) u dont have to worry about that on a priv one.

    2. ppl get their offical server request denied for some stupid reasons like

    you are not running the requested win version (if you ve win 7 dayz runs just fine on it yet gets u denied)

    they say with no evidence that your server is private hosted (private root server -.-)

    or simply that some of your other requirements are not good enough even if you outmatch the (btw different requirements on page / forum / support) requirements given to you

    so am i ok with private servers ? yes ! because beside the benefits of the localdatabase i can feel the ppl that are screwed by the "support" for no reason what so ever. also an admin can actually do things on HIS server HE is paying for. like kicking for mates etc (and yes this should be allowed) . in the end the private servers are created by the lack of service dayz provides atm. im sure if this mod gets to beta and above there is no need for private server unless u like to lock it for friends only.

    in my opinion the reason for KOS is simple.

    You start the game (or most ppl did) as a survivor with no bad intensions. After beeing killed several times, ppl are starting to adapt. Meaning now they kill every threat they spot. while it is sad for the community that things going that way, i m ok with that.

    I dont need other players whom i cant trust anyway, i ve my friends with me and thats good enough for me.

    Just think about it, if this were rl. if you KNOW there are ppl shooting everthing they spot, would you leave others alive ? would you put your life at risk by giving away your position to others etc ? i think you wouldnt ! u would let them pass without beeing exposed or you just kill them.
