OP, there is a way to play on "private" servers with there own databases, but I will not tell you how. Why? Because ff you can not figure out how to do it yourself, you do not deserve to play that way. And as well as I do not think rocket would approve. l2google I actually torrented the game first, and thoroughly enjoyed playing the "cracked" way. And then i bought it so i could play on normal servers. So, he could be telling the truth if he likes the game enough. I also like how everyone is getting all pissy at the guy, although he is an idiot for asking the forums this, do not sit there and act as if you've never illegally downloaded something, whether music or a game. When it came to this game, I wanted to buy it and support BI, and I'd be so bold as to say I would pay a small fee to play DayZ as it's a fun mod for the game. Please, get off your high horse people.
