For the new players, because of the new DayZ logic (If you're not on my teamspeak you're my enemy) you must be able to travel without causing attetion, so say you're going into Chern.. then remember the hotspots for players which is: "Supermarket, Hospital, Fire department", and before entering those certain areas to scavenge ressources scout a bit, make sure there is no one in there or around, and then be quick scavenge and pick a safe route out of the city, keep doing that and you will most likely get weaponary/ressources before anyone will shoot you, if you still get shot then you're not hiding/scouting good enough, so group up with other players and work together, as much as this game is a one man for him self game it's a team game.

Something has been confusing me, and before I'd get a server I need to know something: If me and my friends were to make a video about the mod, guides, movies etc. is it against the rules to lock the server while recording? even if it's limited time, like an hour or two?

Well I cant wait for the competitors to come up with game like DayZ with a greater gameplay, DayZ really doesnt offer as much as it should.

As Lent wolf stated, when the competive game developers find this game and see the potentiel of it, they will make something better (most likely around the servers) and will only drag players away from DayZ. Developers really need to get their brains going before they lose the battle, if there is a game which is alot like DayZ, but where I can host a server WHICH IS MINE and is not controlled by global rules, which have upsetted alot of players who just want to play the game in a more free way, I would quit DayZ for that and I get that it can be exploited but if you could make the mod... you can make a new better system as that would ONLY improve the potentiel of the mod. The fact that the game got 0 - 60.000 players in no time is true, but with time those players will stop playing due to the current system, and will hurt DayZ more than they can predict.
