So, here is my complaint with the server. A) The Host or admins, etc, Shutdown the server when the last member goes to bed. Direct Quote from the server Host: evidence. Info on the server can be found here. http://dayzmod.com/f...the-apocalypse/ Rules in Violation 1) Now, before I get into the first one I'd like to submit that I have never witnessed them actually locking the server. However, I submit this as a violation because Locking and shutting down the server are really not at all different. Why? Because they both keep people out and Both determine who can and who cannot play. By this i mean the server will only be online when one of the so called "MEMBERS" wants to play. http://dayzmod.com/f...r-read-in-here/2) Rockets "Persistent World" (directly quoted by rocket and hes has called it a persistent world in many videos/interviews) http://www.armaholic...ge.php?id=16612 What is a persistent world? A persistent world (PW) is a virtual world that continues to exist even after a user exits the world and that user-made changes to its state are, to some extent, permanent. The term is frequently used in the definition of the MMORPG's and can be considered synonymous with that class of games. The persistence comes from maintaining and developing a single or dynamic instance state of the world in the game around the clock shared and viewed by all players. Quite unlike other types of games. the plot and events in a single permainstance world game continue to develop even while some of the players are not playing their characters. That aspect is similar to the real world where events do occur regardless if they are directly or indirectly related to a person, as they continue to happen while a person is asleep, etc. Conversely, a player's character can also influence and change a persistent world. The degree to which a character affects a world varies from game to game. Since the game does not pause or create player-accessible back-up files, a character's actions will have consequences that the player must deal with. http://en.wikipedia....ersistent_world Further, Lets look at some key words and relate them to the issues with US 1038 shutting down their server when their "MEMBERS" go to bed from the Persistent world POV. Argument: The Persistent world continues to develop even when some of the players are not playing their characters further, events continue to occur while a person is "ASLEEP" Now, some of you will argue well, hey you can just go onto another server and continue where you left off. Yes, You're correct. That I could do however, I like many others have supplies, vehicles, friends, etc who play on US 1038. And to me Shutting down the server takes away the Persistent world feeling as well as its no different than them "LOCKING" the server. They are in direct control of when I can and When I cannot play on their server. Clearly, Rocket never intended this and if you look at the opening quote, server hosts have "NO" special privileges other than the ability to follow the DAYZ rules and kick/ban users within violation of the DAYZ rules.

I don't think you can really ban someone for accepting hacked gear. I mean, Id rather have a hacker tp to me give me gear and go away than tp to me offer me gear i refuse and he kills me which isn't much different than him tping to me and just killing me. hackers can be twisted individuals better to play along with one if he offers or logout. (that is if theres not an admin on to handle the situation. otherwise, id just play along or logout.)

Servers been down for 3 days. lol. http://dayzmonitor.com/server_info/2241.html&hide_restarts

So Scorpio, you have proven you didn't read my rocket "quote" on persistent world. GJ, bro Gj, way to not even read the opening post.

lol its not my mod or my game i'm simply repeating rockets vision of DayZ. So, your comment is stupid and makes no sense directed at me.

There is a whole other issue at stake here. A Persistent world exists around the clock even while a player is not online or asleep.Rocket has been quoted many times calling Day Z a Persistent World. From this you can conclude that a "World" The "Server" must be up 24/7 unless due to maintenance, etc. NOT because the admin wants to go to sleep or is not around. Not only that but the DayZ team is losing information collected to the Hive while a server is not running anyway. Information used to help fix bugs, etc.

You've Eviscerated nothing. You have no power to determine right from wrong. You are not a judge just an opinion. I however, provided an argument backed by information from DayZ staff and Rocket himself.. go watch some interviews with Rocket. I've done my research and I'll provide more if the argument is denied, I will appeal, and appeal till this violation is either corrected or blacklisted.

Well, just see what the DayZ staff thinks of it. I'm tired of arguing with you. If you've watched or read any of Rockets interviews this kind of server running is not what Rocket intended.

LOL how does it not favor a specific group? Taking your server down PROTECTS anything you have or have setup, etc. also you have to power to determine when someone can and cannot play. Whats to stop the admin from shutting the server down after he rages for 6-7 hours then comes back later and starts it back up... If you don't see the problem here, you clearly are apart of the GMS group.

So, I've heard there is a system already in the working to watch admins.. Just a rumor passed down.

Giving yourself a huge advantage is never wrong.. right?

No thank Scipio Shutting Down a server to play when only you want to is no better than Locking it.

I love how you guys brought "short" period of time into this. Lets see server went down lastnight around 12:30am EST it is now 2:49pm EST and it is still down. 14 hours is such a "short" time.

You let one person abuse the TOS, soon the rest will follow. also i have vehicles and tent w/ gear on that server which annoys me considering i play mostly late night at around the time these guys want to go to bed and shut down the server.

I am helping, by reporting a server in violation of TOS.. Hackers and bugs are on that list too.

While you're above argument is cute and thought out.. it still doesn't hold a bit of weight to the DayZ Server Rules... You're clearly saying it is okay for ALL server admins to shut down their servers whenever they are away... That is fair to no one and gives the only advantage to the admins/hosts themselves. Everyone, if you want to have a full time server to your schedule, you need to host one and only have it up while you're playing... Yes, Hackers are a problem. But, so is breaking TOS. DayZ is about taking risks live with it.

So, you're saying its fair for everyone to shut down their servers when "They" go to bed now? Okay, Lets all shut down our servers while were asleep.. Apparently its okay now since this servers doing it.. right?

Show some support their shutdown then. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/50680-us-1038-tx/

G36 is the only gun that is a hacked gun and you mentioned "A" G36 so there's only 1? which means it could of possibly came off a hacker they killed doesnt necessarily mean them. Also what were you doing when you received a ban? was there anyone in the base? were you getting shot at, etc. You don't really have much of a story of the events that took place prior to your ban other than you were looking through tents?

Yeah, they stopped doing it when ppl started bringing it to the forums. Give it time they'll do it again.

Guess, I'll be the first to say it. You're Owned.

Its equal to buying 10 double cheese burgers and both of them will make you fat.

Curgon pretty much said, they need to unban you or show proof that you were hacking or face having action taken.

I'm pop a WDZ tag on, hop on this server and go hunt me some [09k] butthurts.
