My small group of frinds and I have been playing this game for a few weeks, and are instantly additiced. We have been hopping servers checking out the different settings (vet vs. regualr, etc). We have finally decided on a playstyle that we call can agree on so we have been trying to settle on a server (or subset of servers). <start rant> It's been incredibly difficult to settle on a server that Doesn't have an abusive admin (kicking our members because someone had to reboot, claiming that we are "server hopping") Then you get some with great connectivity one day, then lag like a b**ch the next day Doesn't change the rules on us I have 10+ years of IT experience, so I figure "hey, I'll just run a server". I have a symmetrical 30Mbps connection with no cap and a static at home, so it's a no-brainer (zombie pun intended). I have a rocking awesome VMware ESXi box (UPS, and all), so I cut up a VM and provision double the required specs specified in Here. My application then gets denied because; "Due to the demanding nature of hosting a DayZ server, it is required that the server is a dedicated server, not a home PC, and that it's hosted in a datacenter with at least 100Mbps dedicated bandwidth." The requirements don't mention 100Mbps?! Now, I can upgrade my bandwidh to 100Mbps at the house for nominal fee, but is this going to make my setup pass the requirements? I can understand that you can’t accept applications from every moron with a high speed internet connection and dream, but where does it become feasible to host this from my home setup? This reminds me of Battlefield and their bulls**t "partner" server hosting junk... <end rant> Regardless I'm still going to play... tl;dr; Waaaaa!!!! :( Linuxx

We will check it out tonight. We all (well, some of us) live near ATL, so it would be low latency. I would like to have nameplates, but It's not a deal breaker. Cron job scheduler? I think they give out purple hearts for that! :P As for myself, I'm a systems engineer in the middle of building the second datacenter of my career (this one is a global headquarters, kinda cool). The first datacenter I built (and managed) was a colocation facility.

Bah... looking for regular, with GMT -7/-8 or close.

I get it. Per my OP; I might join your server just Whats the TZ, and ruleset?

VMware FTW!

I have 4 high speed ISP available at my house (not including satellite). Perhaps I should order a link from each and BGP these bit*hes together... I would surely pass muster then, right?

A switch isn't a hop...

I can packet shape... /shrug
