BubbaD (DayZ)

http://arma2.swec.se/server/list Used this to join my choise of server just 2 mins ago. Get the ip and join manually ingame serverlist after the maintaince message.

Me and a few friends are planning a Lan party mainly for playing DayZ. We love the mod as it is, but we all know there are issues. To me, the biggest one is server hoppers/disconnecters and then the occasional problems with hive/loading/joining a server. All this is ok when we play normally everyone at their own home. But if we are having the lan party, we really would need a more stable enviroment. We are all +30 years old and have families, so we will have to put in money just to get a place for the party and it would be a real bummer if hive is experiencing problems at that time, and we cant play the game at all. Thats why the private servers comes to mind. We have absolutely no problem with the fact that we have to start with fresh spawns and all progress will be lost when the party is over. But there is no point in playing dayZ without hostile opponnents, so the server must be open to other players, but im worried about the cheaters. Its ok if they blow up our game once or twice, but theres no point in playing if we have to reset the whole server and charecters every hour. Some private server thingy on google seemed to be what we need, but i have to think about that a few times. Also im a bit worried, that if we setup a cracked server, our steam accounts or Dayz guid(?) might get in trouble. I would like to come up with a solution to this problem so we can go ahead and execute the party plan. This would only be a backup thing. If everything is working normally, we will definetly be playing on a normal server.
