Hurry

A friend of mine, who's unable to register, had the problem as well: Dead On Arrival when joining a server: 2 days ago something strange happened when I was playing DayZ with two friends of mine. Upon joining a server through DayZ Commander, one of us was instantly killed and sent into some sort of purgatory (or the fabled Elysium) in an unknown location that didn't seem to be in Chernarus. When he attempted to respawn, he spawned at the beach with no gear at all (no backpack or flashlight). My friend and I looted his body, and we all decided to join a different server, since I kept getting kicked from this one. And then it happened again. When we joined a new server, my other friend was instantly killed in front of me. This put us all in a sour mood, and we decided to play a different game altogether. Yesterday, another friend of mine asked me if I wanted to play some DayZ. So we found a server together. And it happened... AGAIN! I died, was sent to purgatory and respawned at the beach with no gear at all. Does anyone know what causes this? Is it an error that is more prone to happen because of version 1.7.2.6 of DayZ? Does it have something to do with my Arma II (96751/54) version? Is it liable to happen the next time I play? My theory is that it might have something to do with a one-time server wipe brought on by 1.7.2.6, in an attempt to stop hackers, and if that's the case, then I'm fine with it (even though I'm not aware of us having ever picked up a hacked weapon before), as I understand the need to take drastic measueres when dealing with cheating. But if this is likely to happen everytime I join a server, then it's pretty much a game-breaker for us. I could use some help or reassurance please. As a sidenote, I feel I should mention that we were all equipped with high tier backpacks and M16/M4 assault rifles. If this was some kind of server wipe aimed at hackers armed with high-grade military gear, then I'm fine with taking one for the team. I just want to be sure it doesn't happen again in the near future :)
