  1. Good evening fellow admins, players. I would like to ask a question to the community about what are the pro's and con's of being a server admin. About a 2 weeks ago I had purchased the right to host a dayz server from a rental company (clanforge) to which I am currently paying nearly $100 USD to host per month. Honestly what are the pro's of dishing out money to the companies if the only power I wield to fend of the hackers is to just simply "restart" my server!? I cannot kick/ban, audit my players logs to check for suspicious activity. I can't even ban a hacker who is turning people into animals, teleporting people and executing them for vehicles, and even flying around!!! sans helicopter around supposedly "my" server. I can list a trail a mile long about the cons, but I cannot even bring up a single pro to being a loyal admin of an official server of the dayz mod's who developed this fine game. I still and will refuse to host a private hive server and I wish to still support the dayz mods but humbly request that more work be done on the admin side of the mod itself.
  2. Unfortunately most server hosts who rent out their servers prohibit the configuration of 80% of the config files associated with said game. RCon is an impossibility with these server rentals, as they do not allow it. I broached the subject with a few other companies and as it stands, it's not officially supported by dayz, therefore they are mandated to not include it; along with the other demands dayz mods have imposed on these companies. Just made the decision of shutting down my server, time expires in 30 days. done ranting and leaving it at that. The game is in a sad state, dayz mods have absolutely no excuse to say the game is still in alpha. If they give back our abilities to properly mod the servers I'm sure the player base will be as it once was.
  3. I agree with you too friend. But I grew tired of being kicked from majority of the private servers and abusive admins public/private. Decided to give hosting a shot, and kicking myself in the ass that I spent money so the hosting companies and dayz mods can pocket from our generosity.
  4. I agree with your decision to shut your server down. I too am at my wits end. it's only been my first month and I cannot understand why anyone would be required to pay $100 to host a server they cannot control due to the impositions of the dayz mod's. which was the official response from multiplay/clanforge. If we have to follow such ridiculious terms/rules that dayz is imposing on us, why should we pay for servers so they can moderate us in the wallet? I apologize for the rant, but I am pretty frustrated at the shackles imposed on myself and other admins of official servers.
  5. This is the same server where I was teleported as I spent 20 minutes riding a bicycle in the middle of the field. BANG I was spawned in a area faaaaar away where there was like four? cars and trucks with 5 people who shot me dead. this server is horrible for hackers, which I suspect one of the admins may be apart of.
  6. Was playing today 7/29/12 approx 3:40pm -7 GMT Entered the game and was playing for a few hours and found a bicycle, first vehicle I found ever; suddenly after 20 minutes of going around I was teleported to a shady field where I noticed a few players and other vehicles they have horded and was promptly shot by the admin team. or any players granted admin authority. what can be done about this blatant act of admin abuse! very disappointing about the level of control these abusive admins have over servers accessible to the public players.
