So my 2 cents - IT MAY NEVER BE PASSWORDED Mostly ok, but if i update, change and test Update or new settings its better to lock or passworded it, instead kicking players with 5-6 restarts. Next thing if server is invaded by cheaters or hackers. - NO OTHER KEYS OR MODS. NONE. PERIOD. yes - NO KICKING TO MAKE ROOM FOR 'FRIENDS' OR CLANMATES in other game there are systems with clanslots. If you play on a clanserver and a clanmember join you will be given a message that you will be removed from server after xx seconds. Fair enough i think. - NO LOCKING THE SERVER See 1 - NO EDITING DAYZ/MISSION FILES yes - IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO UPDATE YOUR SERVER TO THE LATEST VERSION OF DAYZ yes -BATTLEYE MUST BE ENABLED sure There are reasons why people rent servers. You can make your own setting, have a server with good ping and i a timezone you want to have him. But although most of them have friends or clans to play with. Without this a big reason to play DayZ is gone. As a single player you often have problems to find a good server. Some are at night and you want to play at day, some are full, some are outdated or you cant connect or have terrible lags. So if DayZ will blacklisted all server who are against these restrictions, they soon have a very small list of servers left and a lot of players will left because they get not good server. My point: I am against passwording or locking (only maintenence) but with a system that let your friends/clan members have VIP slots. If a VIP logged in the full server one non-VIP get a friendly message and will locked out after xx seconds.
