2 reasons for private seperate servers (not connected to the hive) - give new players a chance to learn the game mechanics and get familliar with the unforgiving engine of Arma II and the DayZ masterpiece. This way people need a less strong will to actually learn the game without being noob camped. Ive heard people quit because they didnt get a chance to learn the game because of PVP. - Play in "peace" with trusted individuals without the server being harrased by script kiddies and hackers. I love the way the game is being made and it should be kept that way, but there should be a non hive place.
