Such threads usually force drama and make the subject ignored by everyone as annoying... We are here just trying to say that, despite being a decent coder, that guy has a controversial background and left many people dissapointed. It is not like this is a reason for you to say "people say you suck, get out". Just a shout of indignation. Btw, who made that new temperature feature?

Timezone would be the most usefull, just write something like (GMT +3), to know where is night and where is a day

Yeah, server is being locked while we are trying to sort out the loading issue. We lock after restarts for periods of 5 mins to let people in by small groups, 10-15 people, to prevent 50 people connecting at once. Sometimes it helps, sometimes not

Server is up. We are working on a server tool to prevent crashes

Oh, you will, you will. How many times i have said that to myself :)

Sheeeeeyt, dat thing just went down, dawg. Will get it up in 2-3 hours. Your ride should be there, unless some dayz bug happened. If server crashed while you were on some road and you are worrying that cars may be stolen when we start up the server - i could send you a warning somehow. Tell you what - subcribe to this thrad, ill post here when the server goes back up and you will get an email notification.

In theory - map is huge and its hard to find players. In practice - ravel routes are known, points of interest are also mapped. That makes meeting another players very easy and map is actually way-way smaller.

We cant edit dayz files, its up to dev team to find and implement the solution. Best would be to allow to connect over server limit

Maybe it was after restart and admin has locked the server for 5-10 mins, to prevent 50 people connecting and loading at once. Try again later if that happens again, noone is going to put password on server permanently.

There have been some discussion about it on BIS boards, dunno if their solution works http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?75925-Admin-reserved-slot

I think it would be better to affect only special loot nods, like military. Eg if server has <50% population - military nods dont spawn loot, but regular (food and rifles) do spawn in villages and towns

Well why is it needed if after you respawn you have to walk for like 5-10 minutes to the nearest big town? If you are worrying about people spawning near Electro and jumping right in the fight soon after death - you can make spawn point to depend on your previous life lenght and zombie kills. Eg. spawn points at Kamenka (far and lonely) and Chernagorsk - if you have died within 30 mins from your last death, you spawn far - at Kamenka. For bandits - could be made separate bandit respawns, something like bandit towns.

Cant it just allow reserved name to connect if server is full? Would be like 51/50, couple of players over the max wont do any harm anyway

This would be possible to achieve with loot containers, eg. pile or trash, wrecked vehicle. When you interact with such object, it calculates player's parameters (body count, skills, perks, stats, etc.) and generates a proper loot. More specificly - zombies are bind to buildings. And some these buildings are enterable and with loot spawns
