We're working diligently to resolve the connectivity issues some of you are experiencing, and will be posting updates about the situation soon! Stay tuned.

I've advertised our server as difficult to hack in the past. It's true - the way we administrate the server and the tactically proficient staff make it a real pain in the ass to hack; thusly, hackers steer clear. Most of our issue lately with population drops have been due to an IP change, but we're recovering swiftly from that. We were once the #3-#5 DayZ server for a month or three - and we were one of the first to ever exist (and the first to reintegrate side chat, and antihacking tools, etc..)

New server IP: 199.241.138.50

Thank you for changing the text color from bright red. My eyeballs have ceased bleeding.

Hopefully with the standalone, those days will return.

US264 Dallas 1 | Public Hive Server | www.adrenaline-gaming.net Adrenaline Gaming exists to fill a gap in the realistic gaming community, and provide a relaxed place where everyone has the opportunity to play free from fear. We were the 15th DayZ Server to ever exist - we pride ourselves on our experienced administration team, and our values. We are, bar none, the toughest server on hackers that exists. Sportsmanship is Paramount. Freedom is protected. Administration is fair. Enjoyment is our goal. Community first - self second. Adrenaline Gaming is a community made up of various clans and in-house squads; we provide teamspeak, forum, webhosting and servers to our members, member clans and the public at large. We are a mature, but non-exclusive community; elitism is frowned upon. Our member clans completely retain their sovereignty and most have intricate inner workings; community administrators take a hands-off approach and merely stand back and settle disputes when they arise. "The Price of Evil - Always Vigilant." Our server has been outfitted with advanced tools that we use to combat hacking and unauthorized scripting. Our server, due to these measures, is virtually hack-free. We feel that this is the most effective way to combat hackers in the current DayZ climate. US264 (Dallas 1) was the 15th DayZ server to exist and we pride ourselves on being as hacker-free as possible. We have developed these scripts and tools that allow our administrators to go the extra mile, and this has increased our rate of finds from 1-2 per day to sometimes over twenty that would have gone unnoticed. If anyone has any questions about our community, our policies, in-house squads or the server itself, they can feel free to contact me or post in this thread with further question.

Sir, The log on our forums related to this incident reads the following. Admin Taking Action: Mushy Time of Action (EST): 5:10:04 PM Player(s) Affected: BOOMHEADSHOT User's GUID: c2af4c406346cdeae8d076645951eeaa User's IP: <CENSORED> Action Taken: PermaBan Brief Description: Teleporting and Spawning in gear. Side Note: He tried joining in the server with a different name (solidsnakeod), he's new to hacking. Our server technicians utilize tools that allow them to monitor the activities of players on the server in a more advanced way than standard observation of logs. Being caught by a technician indicates that these tools were used, and having personally witnessed your action, it was in their judgement that you were engaged in the offenses listed above. If you feel that this ban was in error, you may further appeal your ban at www.adrenaline-gaming.net Semper Vigilans, - [AG] Star Adrenaline Gaming Head Administrator

Sir, I can find no record of your ban in our logs. All of our administrators keep detailed logs of all punishments. Can you please go to www.adrenaline-gaming.net and file a ban appeal by clicking the 'Appeal a Ban' button on the top of the website? Within, please include your in-game name and GUID if possible as well as any other information requested by the form, and our Morale Officer will review your case.

Sir, The corresponding log to this incident on our forums reads: Nefto (Lobby) 2f7bf462cf1c15d9c26527fccee89548 3:37 PM EST 4/6/13 Using as50 and esp from cherno rooftop This means that the administrator in question (Duke, or as you saw him 'No Mercy') was utilizing our administration tools to monitor your activities due to suspicion of hacking on your part. The fact that you could see him, and your friend could not, despite his invisibility indicates you were using a common hack known as ESP. Users of ESP are able to bypass the tools our administration team uses to maintain their separation from the gameplay while monitoring the server. As a result, you were permanently banned from US264 Dallas 1. If you feel this was in error, you may further appeal your ban at www.adrenaline-gaming.net Below, I will reference a previous post explaining the details of our administration's actions for anyone interested. -------------- A select few of our administrators have been permitted to use admin tools under strict regulation, and with very stringent logging and vetting procedures. When our administrators use such tools, they completely remove themselves from the gameplay for that session so as to maintain their integrity and ensure that there is enough transparency that they cannot be accused of abusing their powers. All of the admins currently on this select team are of the highest integrity and are among the most respected members of our community, as such. While incidents of abuse have happened rarely in the past, they were dealt with swiftly by the total, permanent removal of the administrators in question. We feel that this is the most effective way to combat hackers in the current DayZ climate. US264 (Dallas 1) was the 15th DayZ server to exist and we pride ourselves on being as hacker-free as possible. We have developed anti-hacking scripts and tools that allow our administrators to go the extra mile, and this has increased our rate of finds from 1-2 per day to sometimes over twenty that would have gone unnoticed.

A select few of our administrators have been permitted to use admin tools under strict regulation, and with very stringent logging and vetting procedures. I spoke with Jason, and he informs me that a hacker had been reported in the area and he was checking certain individuals that were suspect. It was likely that you were simply in the area at the time. I don't believe he located a hacker, so it could have been a false report or the individual in question had disconnected. When our administrators use such tools, they completely remove themselves from the gameplay for that session so as to maintain their integrity and ensure that there is enough transparency that they cannot be accused of abusing their powers.

While we're not a European server, Adrenaline Gaming is a community specifically oriented towards hosting squads and small clans. We'd love to pick up a decent group of folks from the European side of things. AG groups and Regular members have a strong say in how the community is run, and we're looking to encourage more member participation in decisions. We currently are one of the more popular DayZ servers - we were the 16th to ever exist - and will be connecting a new incarnation of our server to the SurviveDayZ Private Hive Network in the near future. Have a look. http://www.adrenaline-gaming.net/

Immediately after our overhaul, we experienced a DDOS attack that blocked our services for several days. We identified the attacker with the help of our hosting company, and submitted a report that will be forwarded to the FBI field office in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, including the identity of the attacker and details of the attack. The attacker was a former disgruntled community administrator at AG, but out of respect to the DayZ community he has joined and with regard to their reputation, we will not disclose his identity. We have since taken a more aggressive stance with our defenses against DDOS, and after working with our hosting company to implement those changes, we feel confident our services will continue unabated. In the near future, upon receiving a reply from the DayZ devs, we will obtain a new instance ID which will reset our server to the aforementioned "fresh" state. Stay tuned for further announcements to that regard! Semper Vigilans, - [AG] Star

We will be undergoing a major server overhaul and upgrade to a new, higher-performing box over the next three days. With this overhaul, we have decided to request a new instance ID such that the server will be "fresh" (all vehicles, tents, wires, sandbags, etc. will be removed/reset to original positions) Stay tuned for more announcements!

Thanks for the report. Unfortunately, we do not often search the DayZ forums for such evidence. Next time such an event occurs, please report it on teamspeak, or on our forums at adrenaline-gaming.net, and we will promptly deal with the situation (teamspeak is the fastest route). We are well known and pride ourselves on our administrative integrity and keeping a tight lid on hackers. In that, I will forward your evidence to our ArmA team. - [AG] Star

Sir, we don't keep track of these forums obsessively. We're not awake 24/7 to cruise the DayZ forums, looking for mentions of our server. Sorry. You posted your ban appeal in the proper place on our website less than 12 hours ago. Don't you think it would be wise to give us some time to react? Moreover, you have failed to provide us with any information (in-game name or GUID) that would allow us to locate your ban in our records. Calling us 'fucking stupid' and threatening to report our server to the developers is not, on most servers, the way to get unbanned. However, we don't take attitudes into account in unban requests, so if you will kindly comply with our request for information in your ban appeal on our site, we will handle the situation accordingly. I will post the results of the ban appeal in this thread, including any evidence, logs, and raw server data that is acquired (or, if there are none, the results)
