Tyremion

During my first week of playing, I climbed atop the tallest building in Cherno in order to kill a sniping bandit. After looting him, I look across to another tall building to see a dead bandit corpse. I crawl down the ladder, and decide to go check out this other corpse at the other building. I loot this corpse, to find a M24 sniper rifle. I was quite excited when I found this sniper, but only one magazine came with it. I continued looting, and discovered five items of a somewhat coding representation. I looted those to see if they were broken items of the mod. To no avail, I looted the weapons that come off the kobra/hind attack helicoters. I shot these weapons off a few times, freaking out at the power under my hands. At the time, I concluded that this was a glitch/error in the mod, and that it was 'normal' to attain such weapons (I have heard stories). It is apparent to me now that I looted a hacker's weapon. People noticed the helicopter drum that corrupted Cherno. A bandit then snuck up behind me, and shot me point blank. I suspect that this incident caused me to become banned on several servers. For most servers, I attempt to join only to get kicked/booted/banned/connection failed messaged. I tried re-installing the game + mod to no solution. In all honesty, I do not know if this ban appeal will allow me to play on all Day-Z servers again; I can only play on several. I have never hacked in my gaming career (there's no challenge + fun if you let a code do the work), I had just discovered a hacker's weapons in this incident. I really am enjoying this mod, I recently made some friends. Sometimes, I cannot play with them due to not being able to join the server. We recently discovered a helicopter and have started repairing it! I am sorry, and I hope that the bandit that looted my body does not subdue to the corruption of cheating. I should of disregarded the weapons immediately, but instead I nourished them. In regards to all this, thank you to Rocket to his hard work in birthing and nourishing this mod. It would never have worked without his personal effort. Please inform me of any intel of use. Thank you. EDIT: Issue resolved, all sorted out. Thread closed.

The Italia server has locked the server several times. Please look into this intel, for I believe it is a violation of Day-Z rules.

I wait for server response for ~15minutes, only to spawn into an empty forest without any gear or audio. I have tried >12 servers, and all servers react this same way. I am perplexed; five days ago, I was able to log into a game within 2 minutes. Now I have not been able to play at all. My game is fully updated (currently 1.5.7). I have the OA shortcut setup in regards to the Day-Z mod. Could anyone please shed some light on the reason behind this/any solutions?

Was able to finally get in after ~5 hours. All good now, thanks everyone!
