    If I were you Id ask for a refund, and then report them for selling servers below the minimum requirements

    that or up your slots to 40 or 50

    really though, Id tell them you want a refund, for breaking dayz rules. and then find a different host that actually follows the rules set forth by the DayZ dev team (to avoid having your server blacklisted)

    Fuck, I wish I would have known

    Equipping weapons can be a bit tricky, here's what I have found after about 30+ hours of play so far.

    Pick up a hatchet, open inventory, right-click hatchet and "Remove from toolbelt" to put it in your hands. You often have to click the mouse wheel to 'reload' the hatchet for some reason!

    If you pick up a gun and want to switch back to the hatchet, roll the mouse wheel to open a small side-menu and then click the mouse wheel on the hatchet. To go back to the gun, do the same, scroll the wheel until it highlights the gun, click the mouse wheel.

    Buggyness with backpacks. Open inventory, double-click your backpack. This will add the items in your backpack to the main items list in the top-right; the numbers of the items will be on the left of the item, the numbers on the right are the ones on your person. At the top of the list you will see the spaces you have free in your backpack (for example ALICE BACKPACK, 2/20 show you have 2 spaces free). If you have no space left, and try to add something to your backpack, you will lose it. It is GONE. I lost a morphine this way, a hard lesson.

    Same with moving weapons, you can have it in your hand but if you put it away without having the space for it, you will just lose it, permanently. Learn how many space stuff takes up, and check your pack often to make sure you have what you should!

    Best items to get early in your searching; hatchet, matches, knife and water bottle. If you have those, you can go away from the large cities where you are far more likely to get killed for your stuff. Go up to a tree in a dense forest-type area, open inventory, right-click on hatchet and "harvest wood". This will add a wood pile to your inventory (takes 3 spaces, I think). Now you can right-click on the MATCHES and choose "make fireplace".

    Kill sheep / cows and use the knife to gut the animal (option will appear when looking at the animal, click the mouse wheel to do it). This will create 3-8 steaks depending on the size of the animal. You can then cook the steaks on the fire you can make - again the option will appear as "cook steaks" as a mouse-wheel click when you are close to the fire and looking at it. This will cook all the steaks on your person, NOT the ones in your backpack - you may have to move stuff around so always try to keep 1 slot on your person free so you can "juggle" stuff between backpack & person withou putting it on the floor (stuff often vansihes when you put it down, especially on grass!).

    Steaks give you +800 blood, keep you full for a long time. You can fill the water bottle at any water source (not the sea!), often found near barns / farmland.

    Bascially, with those 4 items, you can find a decent place to 'live' and survive for a few days at least while you run search missions to get more items, coming back to the farm each time :)

    Just thought I'd tell you that that's a great post.

    The things that annoy me about zombies:

    1. That constant shriek spam that they do, gets old after the first 5 minutes of dealing with zombies. Maybe tune it down?

    2. They can teleport through closed doors, buildings, etc...

    3. Agro is fucking annoying, I hate when a zombie chases me forever. I suggest having maybe a 100-200m chasing radius? I shouldn't have to run for miles (exaggerated) to find a hill that I can use, this makes it frakking irritating as I and probably many others don't have the patience for that.

    4. I get the idea of crawling around zombies outside, but if I'm inside an empty building, I should be able to at least crouch without getting 3 different zombies up my ass. (Remove zombie wallhax)

    5. If you think people will enjoy crawling for 200 meters to not get spotted by a zombie, you're wrong. Decrease the zombies player agro to about 25 maybe 50 meters.

    6. Please remove the zombie model that wears that french hat, each time I can't help but to think I'm being chased by that guy from Mythbusters.

    Side notes:

    You're putting too much effort into realism. If people loved realism, then no one would play games, people play games for entertainment, so entertain me, let me fuck zombies up, cause chaos in the cities by murdering others, etc...don't forget the FPS aspect of this game. Sure the survival part is a thrill, but how long does will that thrill last with players? A couple days, a week? I suggest more cities, make this urban orientated and less forest orientated. Cities with lots of buildings that can be explored, highrises, etc...I know this takes time, so this is a suggestion to consider for the future of the game.
