Excellent idea. Going to try that right now.

So only those lucky enough to get on a random server that has either not been looted or just restarted should be lucky enough not to have wasted hours and should just let their character die because loot does not respawn yet? Sorry but that is just stupid.

Please enable loot respawning before this is enabled. You can literally spend hours and "die" from hunger and thirst because you can't find any loot because you are in an area picked clean.

I know there have been similar posts, but I do not think people know it is happening for the same reason. Perhaps a sticky explaining it may help since people will search for different terms, etc.

I am not hopping to say, loot the AF over and over. But yes, I do just to a server that has not been picked clean. How else are we supposed to survive? I have "died" because I HAVE stayed on a server that had been picked clean. I could not find a SINGLE food or drink item and YES I was inland not on the coast. Every single door was wide open and there was not a SINGLE piece of loot. I ultimately passed out from hunger and thirst. So yes, so I do not waste 3 hours going over someone elses tracks, I have hopped servers. Sorry but until loot respawns, this is kinda a fact of life. But I do think hopping server to server to server to loot the same area is wrong. That is NOT what I am doing.

Thanks for such a fast reply Rocket. Is there a way to have the server providers not name of the server listed until it is whitelisted or have "Not WhiteListed" start the name of the server? Literally every server I have played on looks like one of the "official" ones. Is there a way to know if it is whitelisted or not on our end? Thanks.

Please note I am NOT discussing the Database wipe that occurred, I am fully aware of that. This has been happening for the last 48 hours, before and after the wipe. Two nights ago I logged out by a lake a little north of the dam to get a RL drink. I logged back in and I was on the coast with a starter character. I used that new character and played for 2-3 hours, got some decent stuff and logged off for the night. I log back in yesterday morning and I am again on the coast with nothing. I loot Electo, find the market has not been looted and get some good stuff. Then the DB wipe came, fair enough, I know why I lost this character. Last night I spawn into the coast with a new character and I am right by the South AF, I loot and get an M4 (my first) I head north, loot military base (nothing) and head to the town just North and log off for the night. This morning I log in and again I am on the coast with a new character. So I start over again. Get some stuff and then log off to get some work done. Log back in and I am AGAIN on the coast with nothing. There are a few times I've logged back in or hop to a different server as the area has been picked clean (I look for a server with shut doors, not server hopping for good loot, just want to make it a little fun to even find a piece of fruit since loot does not respawn.) But most of the times I have logged back in I am on the coast with nothing. Please note, I am not complaining, I know this is an Alpha and that is why I am posting this so it can hopefully be looked into. There IS an issue with characters not saving to the DB. What IS odd though, when I first get to the main menu, I SEE my character there with all his gear, but when I load into the game it is gone. Then when I leave the game, I see the new starting character on the main menu. Is anyone else having these issues? I have not seen the DEVs address this issue yet.

I agree with the OP, I am enjoying it more than I was expecting. Just hope the loot respawning issue gets fixed soon.

I was getting it on all servers last night. Logged out for 5 minutes to get a drink, logged back in and I was on the coast with a new character. Went in 5-6 different servers and all put me in the same spot on the coast.

I too had the same issue. Logged out, got a drink, logged back in and I was on the coast with nothing. :(

Yes, that is a hacker script. Much like the teleport one.

JAMES is a hacker. He was on our server last night "creating" the chopper over and over. Also "created" a ton of shit as well as teleported him and his buddies all around until him and they were banned.

How?

I ask because I admin a server and saw this script in the logs and as for what it does, I have no idea, which is why I ask.
