Website: ragecagegaming.com Mumble: mumble.ragecagegaming.com:8770 Current Server Beta Version: 1.62.97448 Current DayZ Version: 1.7.2.6 HOW DO I FIND YOUR SERVERS? Be sure to filter your in-game server list by ragecagegaming.com or by our individual server names: US 9 or US 10. Alternatively you can join by IP address: US 9: 74.91.122.239:2302 US 10: 74.91.122.232:2302 WHAT MAKES YOUR SERVERS SO SPECIAL? We've been providing a place to play DayZ for the mod community since the middle of May. Our servers stay updated to the latest stable Arma 2 OA Betas and DayZ versions (usually updating DayZ within a hour of release). We actively ban hackers and check logs for suspicious activity. Our regulars are active in reporting suspicious activities and we keep a running record and ban log of all hackers we come across. We also submit our findings to other server admins to help the community. I stay in constant contact with our servers to ensure the one of the best DayZ experiences. As an admin, I'm active with the DayZ IRC channels and because of this, our servers will get to run experimental fixes to help provide debug logs for any issues that creep up with the mod or the hive code. (Don't worry, the server is plenty stable) Last but not least, our servers reboot to help keep de-syncing and other issues at bay. Not to mention that our servers run on quality hardware and bandwidth for a great gaming experience. CAN YOU TELL ME MORE ABOUT YOUR SERVER HARDWARE? Sure thing! The server is hosted by Nuclear Fallout Servers and is housed in a data center in Chicago. The server is packed with the latest hardware and the bandwidth is purchased directly through InterNAP which provides high performance and reliability. The box is on a gigabit network connection and has the following specs: Intel Xeon E5-2690 8GB DDR3 RAM 800GB HD SSD Storage For Minecraft WHAT ARE YOUR SERVER RULES? No racial or other derogatory slurs (profanity is OK) No hacking, exploiting or cheating of any form No spamming VON or text chat Most importantly of all, have fun! Please understand the difference of playing the game and personally assaulting another player. DayZ doesn't always end up a friendly game. However, once an issue transcends the game and becomes personal, measures will be taken to resolve the problem. WHAT ARE YOUR SERVER SETTINGS?

CAN I DONATE? A donation link is available ( here). If you do not have a Steam ID, you may ignore it during the process.You can also donate to the server directly here: https://www.nfoserve...inish@gmail.com - This link is provided as an alternative so you can donate in confidence and know that your money is going directly to keeping our server alive for all to enjoy. Money donated this way will not be tallied up on our website, however, as it is going through another system. PREVIOUS DONATIONS Monthly Server Cost: 79.99 $30.00 - May $20.00 - May $15.00 - June $20.00 - July $50.00 - July WHY SHOULD I DONATE TO US 9 AND US 10? Well, there's a short answer and a long answer to this. The short being that the server will last as long as I am able to sustain it. I'm a recent college graduate and I put all my spare time in providing a great gaming environment. Donations will ensure the constant operation of this server as this is coming out of my paycheck (and what I have left, to student loans). The long answer is that I'm running this out of small pockets. The community that I head has been very helpful and has been contributing what they can to keep the server alive, but they can't do it alone. We're not a clan, just a group of guys and gals that love playing games. Anything from League of Legends, to Left 4 Dead, to APB and more. We welcome all of you to join us in mumble to find out what we are really about. We like to hang out, shoot the breeze, and enjoy a common hobby. As a whole, we want to share that passion with the DayZ community. I started this server in hopes that it furthers a project like this. I like being able to provide a service to fellow gamers just like me. If you share that same mindset, it would be wonderful if you could contribute. The smallest amount goes a long way in ensuring the future of this server. If donations exceed expectations, you can bet Rage Cage Gaming will offer a second quality DayZ server, as well as a mumble server with more available slots. WHAT THE HECK IS MUMBLE? Mumble is an open source alternative to ventrilo and teamspeak. Quite honestly, it also runs better than both. Audio is processed much quicker and there is less delay between conversation. This can mean the difference between surviving and being on the receiving end of a bandit's bullet. IS YOUR MUMBLE SERVER PUBLIC? Why yes it is! Come on in and use it. It's much better than the in game VOIP. And if you have a dedicated group of people you roll with in our server, we'll make a channel, just for you. SERVER NEWS 7/17/2012 US 9 has been officially launched as our second server. Enjoy! 6/27/2012 There was a brief outage today as the master database was taken down around 5:00pm central time. The hive is back online and our server is as well. 6/23/2012 Automated server shutdowns and messages have been added. 6/20/2012 Restarting the news section after the forum wipe. We are updated to 1.7.1.5 and beta 93965. We're hoping the increase in performance will allows us to push the player cap further. 5/25/2012 Setup processes so any admin can restart the server if you guys are having problems. Be sure to let admins know if you're suffering from any de-syncing or performance issues. We are refraining from auto restarts every 6 hours as we don't have a method to properly warn our players before server shutdown. We may implement an auto restart at a specific time in the future, but that is yet to be determined. 5/22/2012 Server now runs the beta patch and enforces clients to use it as well. 5/18/2012 Server was down for some configuration maintenance. It is now up again. 5/17/2012 Server is finally up and functional after a few days of database turmoil. If the server goes down and comes back up, chances are it's a restart by the devs for updates or by me to maintain performance.

I haven't been really picking a particular server when playing. I actually moved around the time I took the servers offline, so I'm no longer in the midwest, I'm on the west coast. We'll still be running a DayZ server in Chicago though, so no need to worry about that. :P Normally we just join through each other steam (awesome that Rocket set it up to be Steam Auth'd) and get on mumble to team up. Although, right now we tend to stick to west coast servers, I don't mind playing on a more central server to compensate for everyone's location.

If you're O- you're going to be a blood pinata for EVERYONE and will probably die from being drained to death :P. People with O- can give to any blood type but they can only get blood from other people who have O- (according to the chart). I would want to keep a friend around who has O-, but I certainly wouldn't want to be the person with it.

Finding and using a Blood Test Kit.

Hey! You stole my idea :o Darn you! /shakes fist

Hey there everyone. Now that standalone is out, it's just a matter of waiting til we can setup private servers. We hope to provide a quality experience for you all once again. Follow this post or at ragecagegaming.com for more info. B)

I appreciate the kind thoughts iegle. Unfortunately as of 2 hours ago, the servers have been officially shut down. If we get enough of a following in the future, I'll be glad to bring them back up. Perhaps stand-alone will bring in some extra people. It was a fun ride everyone. Glad I could (along with some help) provide a quality atmosphere for the DayZ community. Just because I'm shutting down the servers though, doesn't mean I'll be leaving the forums. I'll be here ;)

Servers or server admins have no ability to delete the items in your backpack (only the triggered events can, like dying or picking up an item, etc.). That information is stored on the central master database. The servers haven't been shut down yet, but they will be very soon.

Due to the lack of support and donations, I will be taking down the servers within a few days. Please make sure all your belongings are moved off server. I'm sorry it had to come to this, but I can't continue to flip the bill on my own any longer. I will look into supporting the standalone game in the future. It was a fun ride, and I know a lot of you called us home. Sorry we're packing it up. :(

Both servers have been updated to Beta 97448

Servers updated to the latest beta (v96895). US10 was down down to a crash related to the executable, not the hive this time.

US 10 has been up since this morning PST. Sorry about the delay on that server. It kept locking up with the hive.

Servers are updated to DayZ 1.7.2.6 and to the latest beta version (96751). Sorry for the delay. EDIT: Looks like there's a bug with mission not loading.

Servers have been updated to Beta 96584. I'll also look into keeping an eye on your report Danegerzone.

Hello everyone, I notice there are players still unsure of what server has what game settings based on their name. With the updated naming scheme the dev team has put into place, things have become much easier to find what you're looking for. You just have to understand what that is. ;) Table Of Contents 1) Server Location 2) Server Version 3) Server Difficulty 4) Server Time 5) Additional Information Throughout this guide, I will be using my server title as an example. DayZ - US 10 Chicago (v1.7.1.5/Beta 93965) [VETERAN 3DP:OFF][GMT-6] dayzmod.com - hosted by RageCageGaming.com Server Location Okay first off is server location. This can be determined by the country code at the beginning of the server title DayZ - US 10 Chicago (v1.7.1.5/Beta 93965) [VETERAN 3DP:OFF][GMT-6] dayzmod.com - hosted by RageCageGaming.com Because this server has a country code of US, it is located in the United States of America. This server is also using an optional code to further describe the location of the server. So from the title you can determine that the server is in the United States of America in the city of Chicago, IL. A list of countries and their related codes are here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2 The number that comes after the country code is a server identifier for the devs as well as the players. It is unique to each server. In this case, the server is the 10th US server (not necessarily the 10th one to ever exist in the US, just the 10th US server in the dev's server documents). Server Version The second part of the server name is the server version. This tells the user what version of DayZ it is running, as well as what beta version it is running. DayZ - US 10 Chicago (v1.7.1.5/Beta 93965) [VETERAN 3DP:OFF][GMT-6] dayzmod.com - hosted by RageCageGaming.com So in this example, US 10 Chicago is running DayZ verison 1.7.1.5 and is running the beta version 93965. You MUST have the same DayZ version on your computer as the server you are connecting to. Keep in mind, that if a server is running a beta version it is IMPORTANT that your client has the same version or greater. Server admins should be enforcing this, but some do not have a required beta version set (which is a no-no). Server Difficulty The most confusing part of the naming system is the server difficulty tags. DayZ - US 10 Chicago (v1.7.1.5/Beta 93965) [VETERAN 3DP:OFF][GMT-6] dayzmod.com - hosted by RageCageGaming.com In this example it means that the server is running the Veteran difficulty, however, the server has also changed some default settings of the veteran difficulty and put them in as additional tags to describe what those changes were. So for this server, 3rd person mode has been turned off. To help you understand the default values of each difficulty, I've compiled a list: Regular Defaults Armor: On 3rd Person: On Auto Aim: Off Tracers: On Nameplates: On Crosshairs: On Death Messages: On Veteran Defaults Armor: On 3rd Person: On Auto Aim: Off Tracers: Off Nameplates: Off Crosshairs: Off Death Messages: On Mercenary Defaults (aka Expert) Armor: Off 3rd Person: Off Auto Aim: Off Tracers: Off Nameplates: Off Crosshairs: Off Death Messages: Off If we were to use another example (this server does not exist), let's say: DayZ - US 12312 (v1.7.1.5/beta 93965) [REGULAR 3DP:OFF CH:OFF][GMT-6] dayzmod.com - hosted by yourdomain.com This would mean that the server is running regular difficulty defaults and has altered third person and crosshairs to both be off so the difficulty values would be as follows: Fictional Server US 12312 Armor: On 3rd Person: Off Auto Aim: Off Tracers: On Nameplates: On Crosshairs: Off Death Messages: On The red text being what actually differs from the normal regular settings. Here are the possible tags for servers: 3DP - Third Person CH - Crosshairs NP - Name Plates (unconfirmed) WP - Waypoints DM - Death Messages (unconfirmed) Server Time Server time is expressed in GMT which is 0 offset at Greenwich, England. This allows for easy time conversion from your timezone to the server's time zone. As a side note UTC = GMT. DayZ - US 10 Chicago (v1.7.1.5/Beta 93965) [VETERAN 3DP:OFF][GMT-6] dayzmod.com - hosted by RageCageGaming.com This means that the server time is GTM -6. Let's say you lived in Paris, France. Paris is GMT +1 so that means your local time is 7 hours AHEAD of the server (counting the time zone difference would be 0, -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6 which comes to 7 total). A list of major cities and their respective GMT time offsets are listed here: http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/info/timezone.htm Additional Information Not all servers are following this naming scheme. However, they should as this is the nomenclature that the dev team has specified for all servers to use. If you do not see a server following the same format as the examples in this post, then this guide cannot help you determine what that server may be running. If you have any questions feel free to post them here. Bumps are also appreciated. I want to make sure people have access to this information. :)

They should be displaying the country name of the physical server's location. So if the server is in Germany it should be DE; if the server is in the United States of America it would be US, and so on.

It should be up. The server software crashed (had to deal with the beta patch). I also updated the servers to beta 96493.

I'll see what I can find in the logs.

I'll check the logs. B)

EDIT: Whoops, accidental post. Since this a post anyways, I may take the server down a little later tonight for some additional maintenance. I will announce over rcon if anything is to happen.

Servers have been updated to beta 96061. Please remember that the server lights are kept on by your generous contributions: tinyurl.com/us10donate

I'll be sure to check the logs.

Hello everyone, I've updated the server to 96015. I wanted to inform you all that I am now in the process of moving across country. I still have remote access to the server on my phone and if there are any issues I can restart it. The easiest way to report server problems is to post them here or on ragecagegaming.com. Alternatively join mumble and report them to our other admins Crooked, Kanokly, or Soggy. They have rcon access to restart the server and may be able to do it quicker than me.

US 10 is running okay, looks like US 9 had a software crash (such is betas). Restarted the server. B)
