I am one of the administrators over at SurviveDayZ.com and currently we have 2 servers on separate hives both whitelisted and passworded. They run just like regular DayZ would with the exception that there are more vehicle total - 30 to be exact and 3 huey's instead of just 1. The servers are zero-tolerance for any kind of hacking, scripting, cheating, duping etc. and to date the only issues we have had were with people duping items which in turn they were banned for and the duped items removed from the server. We have an awesome team of admins that run everything;the site, forums and servers smoothly. Players seem to enjoy SurviveDayZ servers quite a bit, so much so that we already have over 1000+ registered, with that number growing everyday. You need to apply to get into our servers, however once you have been whitelisted for one server, you will be whitelisted for all of them. We are also going to be putting up some competition servers where you can win real prizes in the near future. To apply you need to: Register for the forums Fill out this form Currently we are running battleye and Dart, so if you have a global ban or you are on a community ban-list we will be unable to accept your application. Otherwise everyone else is more than welcome to join our servers to play DayZ the way it was meant to be played.

Yes it does. Stapo is speaking on behalf of DayZ Plus, not SurviveDayZ.

While it is true that stapo and some of the other staff have left, he is not speaking on behalf of SurviveDayZ.com. We are currently looking for new coders and will be continuing to maintain the mod and its community. They will be working on another project DayZ Plus which is in No way affiliated with SurviveDayZ

Rocket has mentioned in his AMA today that he is working on a Chernarus Plus. I know that he want to make almost all buildings enter-able (while some may be clearly boarded off). I know I for one would like to see it maybe become its own continent/island so there is no way of going 'off the map'. I would also like to see some more islands and inbound rivers(give boats an actual use.) What else would you like to see in this Chernarus Plus map?

UPDATE: We currently have 5 DayZ servers, one is lingor and one is for our Survive DayZ mod.

except we are implementing a lot of other things to help at nighttime, plus you have flashlights and chemlights and flares etc. we are most likely going to run an advanced time system like 4 hours day 4 hours night etc. we also run more than 4 servers ;)

We are probably going to go this route, leaving the m40a3 and m24 in.

Chinooks are necessary for loading large objects by air for construction. Will be extremely rare.

we are internally testing right now :)

Glad to hear the news! This is going to take a lot of stress out of running private hives over what version or 'branch' we should use.

not at the moment, but we will be hosting at least 2 lingor servers as well

Would love to see these smaller heli's in the game. The fact that they are smaller/cant carry as much cargo/have no weapons but provide decent transport makes these a perfect candidate for flying vehicle for people like myself who spend most of their time solo. As the utility and difficulty of getting a huey is pointless for a single player or group of 2

Instanced means that the underground bases/sewers/etc. would be on a separate map and have its own loading screen(if required) to lessen the resources needed for the overall map (think loading times). hope this cleared up any confusion as to what people meant by instanced :)

Well I think he meant more melee type weapons and maybe more civilian access weapons, while keeping the military weapons in the game, not leaning so heavily towards them. Just my interpretation though :)

Something that was suggested that Rocket said he was interested in implementing and looking into having more vehicles but less fuel points or rarer parts to fix them with.

People keep forgetting that this is in ALPHA. There are going to be a lot of things that the dev team have stated that are going to help combat hackers. It's just not able to be put in place because of the fact that this is based on the relatively open ARMA 2.

I feel that implementing tools that promote these kind of ideas with real players would be a great idea. Involving NPC's outside of zombies/animals is something Rocket has clearly stated he is not going to do. However, if there are some tools or ideas implemented that helped players do these kind of things on their own, that would be a better place to start.

From what I understand it has something to do with the server instance id being in the 8xxx range. I could be wrong, but speaking with some people I believe this is the case as its not happening on all servers

well there has been talk of weapon attachments in the standalone, so hopefully we can see this!

This would be great, one character per server. Join a new server start a new character, each character is stored separately on the server end.

This has been mentioned before, but I would like to see radios implemented!

This would be awesome if it is true, do you have a source for this? I'd love to read it, I havent come across anywhere where Rocket says this, but that doesn't mean it's not out there.

That helicopter is equally able to be shot down as well. That being said I really like the idea of camo nets being supported in the game and contributing to the overall base building aspect of the game

It would be nice if they added it to the game but when they are working with weapon upgrades the flashlight attachment would become useless. Same goes for the G17 right now. It has the built in flashlight. I do like the idea of incorporating the harries technique into the game though

Its there for ambience, you can always manually turn it off.
