Hi, This is against the rules and causes issues. I do understand why you want to lock the server but we're also working hard with dealing with the issues you describe, which you might've seen from the nights bannings of a lot of cheaters. If you're worried about these cheaters, then host some other games/services and re-evaluate later. But lockings without permission just causes a lot of grief and complaints . Best regards Ander

Unstickying old thread.

Players with illegal weapons will start getting them replaced with Makarovs. Later if the same player is found with the same type of weapon again - they might get bans. So if you know you've been spawning weapons. Better get rid of them now. :)

There's a lot of statistics you guys have asked for that will soon be available on the website as we start recording stats over time :) - Some stats like which weapons is used to kill isnt tracked right now. - How many goats or other animals. - What kind of kill was a "backstab". etc Im taking the input for us in the dev-team to be able to implement better stats :)

9.9% of the vehicles I spawned across thousand serverinstances have been destroyed. The actual active vehicles is however lower than the total counted, so the percentage of destroyed portion of vehicles out of the active servers is probably higher.

"Miki minaj" or similar admin name - kicking players because he didnt like them (or they pk:ed nwo member). Please dont do this. This is against the rules. Kicked several players with vague reasons, including me when I played under an alt name.

I can assure you that "I" wasnt screaming profanities into the mic or streaming music :) If that was the reason I was kicked you need to make sure you get the right person and not do broad kicks with the shotgun tactic . :) Anyway, closing this for now. Just be more careful in the future.

Statistics update: - Approximately 2.6% of all current survivor and bandits combined have NVGs. - The distribution of coke and pepsi is pretty even. Approx 30k characters have at least one coke OR pepsi in their inventory. Roughly 23k characters have at least one coke OR pepsi in their backpack. (this may overlap). Only 521 characters have a mountaindew in their inventory, and 738 have one in their backpack. As for heatmaps: wouldnt that go the same the other way?. It'd help people know what areas to avoid. Heatmaps work fine in other games such as EVE Online, I think you guys need to grow a pair ;) But of course we'll carefully consider before publishing this data.

All locations of last known position when you died is saved :) I can also make an anonymous map of where in the world people currently are with some x,y,z coordinate to map grid magic. This should cause some areas to be more crowded than others and it'll display which areas are more popular than others. I can get the data on how many survivor and bandit kills were done by players per character and summarize it. Currently we dont store the final death reason , but it should be possible to "guess" amount of kills by players divided by total dead characters and get a good estimate. Give me some time and Ill try to get this done :) just a bit of crunch before patches so bear with me!

Vehicles cleaned out, shouldnt appear after restart. Thanks for bringning this to our attention. A fix is in the works.

Unstickying really old info. New thread to be made.

Unstickying old method. New recommendations are given to serverhosters through other channels.

Unstickying old thread.

I'll check in with the hive developers and see if there's a new version coming out soon. Hive 0.9.2 upgrade doesnt really come as a surprise as the upgrade to hive 0.9.3 has been available for quite some time .

I dont really appreciate that private conversations are crossposted. These hosters just need to solve their name convention, stop locking servers and follow the rules, run updated software. Then they will be whitelisted. Simple as that. Locking this rumormill thread.

No.

Unstickying. Old info.

I prefer the google group. Cool kidz got the google group just sayin'.

Hi everyone, I'm not going to mention the name of the hosting company that I've gotten this offer from as they havent asked for anything in return for this offer. They are just happy to help the project. However I'd like to mention that I'm currently offering up a total of 10 new servers to be co-located for free without charge for 6 months in Sweden/Stockholm. Requirment: -Hardware to match DayZ server requirments. -1U height / server -Dedicated to DayZ -You pay for shipping/customs of server to SWE/Stockholm (registered shipment, FEDEX, SCHENKER or UPS recommended). -Follow the general DayZ server hosting rules. -No reselling of services. What is offered: -1U co-location without charge (for at least 6 months) in Stockholm Sweden -Unmetered 100Mbit/s bandwidth per box for DayZ -IP-address (minimum 1x, up to 5 depending on requirment) Best regards Ander INFRA/DBA

I'd suggest you guys try the ARMA2 Beta patch and help test out. http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php Most launchers (six updater, or arma II launcher) has support to use the BETA patch. Load times are usually only between 15-30seconds on most beta servers. Stability on serverside is also higher (although a few bugs to squash). // Ander

The server techlist group is now available. It doesnt use the forums but google groups. PM me with your email and instance ID and Ill invite you to the group.

Closing this thread.

Nobody is forced to host a server. The rules are there for a reason as this is a global persistant game. Setting up a server doesnt mean it's your own playground. Anyone is welcome to play as long as they follow the "global" rules that rocket made. At the moment there are two groups of server hosters: 1) The ones who are happy to support the project. 2) The ones who think they are hosting a private server with public slots. Clearly group two have to realise that this is not the case. If you dont like someone or if you think they cheat, bring it up to our attention (not by public posts, but by PMs) and we'll look at it.

If someone has an issue with a server then PM me and Ill forward it to relevant people. Public discussion, rumor mill and other "poasting" isnt encouraged.
