A clan member left me in control of a 40 slot DayZ server he recently purchased from Defcon servers. He is in the military though, and will be gone for 6 weeks. So I have the info to get logged into the server control panel. The issue he seemed to be having is the DayZ staff gave him a server number that a different server already has, US 2687. Okay, so I was going to apply for a different server number. However I can't seem to find the hardware/network specs of the Defcon server. Anyone happen to know how to find out the specs of the server?

Depends on what you're looking for. This game is very hard, and can be very tense. I just got it yesterday. At first I spawned in, had no clue where I was at. I saw people talking in the chat trying to get a group together, but I had no bearings and failed to find them. So I started trying to explore a city I was by. Was okay for a couple minutes, until a zombie came upon me. Shot him, because my fps instincts tell me to, and within seconds 2 or 3 more starting running up. Shot them too, but seconds later 5 show up. From there I just start running, because I don't have the ammo for them. Tried to ditch them, ended up trying to hole up in a house only to be teared to shreds... This happened again 3 more times. Maybe lived 20 minutes tops. So I respawn again, and I'm slowly making my way around the coast. I see another player 50 yards away from me, so I instantly go prone. Tried to tell him I'm friendly, but he starts shooting at me. I give him 3 shots, and then I decided to take him down. Luckily I came out the victor. As I was looting him, another friendly player happened to come up on me. He was much more experienced, and I started following his lead. From the coast we started traveling north, crouch running through the woods and keeping away from zombies. Tried to loot farms that we passed by. Met up with a friend of his. Couple times I lost them, which was really nerve wracking. I also ended up getting chased by 2 different zombie hordes when I was trying to be stealthy, but luckily they backed me up like pros. I learned a lot from following their lead, and I've gotta say this game is great. However it is very hard, and very slow. At one point, I tried crawling into this town that had about 4 zombies wandering around the outside. Couldn't make it in, while one of the other team members managed to get in and loot a rifle for me. The only thing that saddens me about this game, is that I can't have another character. We played until 4'ish in the am, and made plans to play tonight as well; But now I'm scared to log on, because I don't want to get killed or lose the spot we logged out at. tl;dr: Slow paced most of the time, but very tense as well. Can only make one character, so you can't have one character with a group of friends and another playing a bandit. Overall very fun
