My roommate makes fun of me for loving "jay-z"

As long as they are attached to hivemind, passwording a server opens the door to further abuse. That said, dayz devs are asking a lot from server owners. Maybe non hived private servers is the way to go.

My friends and I run our own private LAN server with battleye off. We use it for giving people an easier introduction into the game and ridiculous death matches with spawned super weapons. Also comes in handy at peak times, when getting all of us on the same hivemind server is difficult. All of us care about the development of the mod and appreciate all of the hard work that the devs put in. Some of us specifically purchased Arma: CO for DayZ. The mod runs on software that we legally purchased and as long as we don't use injections to add our characters into DayZ's public servers, we are not hampering anyone’s experience. We are just enjoying a game.
