Does Vilayer give you total access ???

You still didn't answer my question about how many severs got blacklisted because of having access to their own files. I would like to know of any. If your a server operator and you used HFB I would like to know if you got blacklisted ? Like I said above it's not fair that a dedicated server operator get access to all their files and we don't. Monitor your users and punish when someone does something wrong. DayZ is full of it with their rules. You can only bend so far before realizing that they are way out of line with their Nazi rules. You have a chance now to make a good name for yourselves. What you do is up to you. If you keep up doing business this way your not going to have a business.

So,, How many servers got blacklisted before you made the change. I'll bet not one. When I first bought my server I had total access and the next day it was gone. Also what happens if someone with a dedicated server purchased from you gets blacklisted ???? What's the difference ???? Basically your just ruining your business by operating this way. I and others will never use your service and you are getting a horrible reputation. I noticed you also removed your Forums from your website, just another indicator of the crappy service your providing. Your afraid that other customers are going to see all the complaints and not use your service. That's shady as hell and no way to run your business.

I have a gaming community and all my servers are located in my home. They are 24/7 dedicated servers. I have unlimited Bandwidth and I have Fios Quantum 150 download and 75 upload. All my servers are intel quad core machines. I fill out the form to run a server and they reject me because I'm on a home network. I download anit rockets private server and set it up anyway and it runs great. There is no Lag and I can handle 100 people online no problem. There is no lag and there is no de sync. The only problem with the private setup is that when new updates come out for DayZ then you have to wait until they update it for your private server. So I suck it up and purchase a paid for server from HFB and guess what ???? It's a laggy mess. So let me get this straight. You will not let me run a lag free server from my home but you will make me pay to run a laggy server ??? I don't get it. Also I have noticed that running a private server without the HIVE is much better than the real version because you don't get all the De Sync issues because your database for your personal hive is located on the same server which also allows you to have a better gaming experience because people can't just warp into your world with everything. Anyways does anyone have some thoughts on this??? I'm all for supporting the community but this is a little silly if you ask me.

Yeah i do. I just got a PM from a server company that lets you have access to the files. Sorry but I'm not paying for a server to have no control, that's stupid. When DayZ has come and gone people will remember the server hosting companies that didn't let you access your own files and they will do business elsewhere. What's the difference between the guys who pay for their own dedicated server and have access to all their files and the guys who rent a server ??? You just have to spend more money for your own dedicated machine. The server companies need to be true to their customers. DayZ has no clue whether your running a dedicated machine or if your renting a server so really it's not very smart on the server hosting companies to just let you have access to your files. If you do something your not supposed to they can easily shut your server down.

What part of I have unlimited bandwidth didn't you get ???

lol. Grats on getting your server approved on a home network. I already run servers and yes it can be a full time job. You need to have a website setup and some admins to handle problems that arise. Although the DayZ server is pretty simple because they don't really let you do anything. I have a DayZ server it's just the fact that I had to buy one instead of running it for free on my more than capable home network.

Well you either got lucky or your full of it. Here is the exact response I got. Can I host my server at home? No. A home internet connection is not intended to run servers. There are several problems with this: Most home internet connections have far less upload bandwidth than download bandwidth. You may have 24Mbit download bandwidth, but only 6Mbit upload bandwidth. A DayZ server requires a lot of upload bandwidth, and for peaks (server restarts when lots of people try to log in) requires a lot more. Many ISPs won't allow home internet connections to run servers. You may get disconnected by your ISP for this. Many ISPs won't allow you to accumulate that much bandwidth. A DayZ server will consume multiple terabytes per month. If you do not have unlimited bandwidth, this could cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars. Or, it'll consume your bandwidth quota in a day or two. Many home internet connection use dynamic IPs. A static IP is highly recommended Many home internet connections are less stable and reliable than dedicated connections. As such, you cannot host your DayZ server on a home internet connection.

It woul Thanks for the comments but seriously maybe you should take a look out there. It's already out of control. Anyways if you log on to a server where it's not run correctly then you just move on to another server. I'm not sure why DayZ is trying to re invent the wheel. If you don't like a server then don't play on it. That's why our servers are always full because we run a tight ship and the people in our community respect that and they continue to play. If you piss people off by kicking and banning then they just go play elsewhere, which solves the problem all by itself. Some of the best servers are now private servers, not hive servers. You have admins making forts and structures on the maps which adds a lot more fun. As soon as this game is out of beta all the best servers will be private run servers that don't connect to the Hive. I run one legit and one private and the private one is much better than the legit one. That's just my 2 cents.

What do you use to edit the maps for your own content? I would like to do this on my own private sever. Good job on your server and keep up the good work. It's amazes me that the DayZ guys are such jerks when it comes to gaming. Imagine if the Arma Dev's were assholes like these guys, telling you not to mod their game.

I disagree with the Dev's on this matter.

It's really starting to look like they are in over there heads. They have a game where hackers get to run rampant and server admins can not ban or kick them,,,,really. What world do these guys live in ? I wish someone with some more experience would acquire this mod or just develop a game along these lines. They should already be doing what Minecraft did and start charging 20 dollars for the beta. They would already be over a few million dollars if not more in sales and then maybe they could hire some real programmers to get this game going. As soon as my server payment is due I'm dumping Dayz and running a private server.

Yeah this game has awesome potential but the devs aren't very smart when it comes to running a game. I wanted to host my own server but now I'm not feeling it.
