Hey guys , its my first post, my name is Peter, I am 25 and I was convinced by some people of the realitymod community to play this mod. I downloaded the game on wednesday and figured some things out by myself, like where to find guns, how to avoid zombies, at least in small villages etc. and now I really enjoy the game :=). But I have still a few questions: I have a makarov and a xm1024, i'd like to keep a hatchet as a weapon, is that even possible, while keeping the firearms with the backpack you have from the beginning, except using it only for wood chopping and not as weapon (filling up 10 slots in the backpack iirc) ? How many slots do secondary weapons consume in the inventory ? Is the xm1024 any good at decent ranges like 50-100 meters, with the slugs ? "Some animals are easily killed with a single bullet" (http://dayzwiki.com/...p?title=Animals) - do they resist, attack or can get unusable after shooting the wrong gun like for example buckshot ammo with a shotgun ? Do bigger backpacks spawn totally randomly, or are there certain places ? Most servers have a ping of "9999" can I play on them? Servers have different version numbers, what does that mean to me, can my progress be continued on all of them ? What is the difference between recruit servers, regulars, and experts - are zombies tougher, or is that just meant to be a guideline for player skills ? How do I exit a game properly, currently I am minimizing and closing the window in the task bar, because I dont know which button to select :) ? Thanks for your time in advance. Cheers Proceed
