I want to make zombies as realistic as possible on my roleplaying server, and right now with them walking indoors and running when outside it really doesn't make sense right now. So I can make all zombies walk, but increase their numbers and damage which I don't really want to do since it requires redistributing content. Plus people think that would make them too easy. And when outside, it would. And when inside, it may make it too difficult with zombies absolutely clogging all the exits every time you try and enter a building. My other option is to come up with an explanation of why they walk when inside, maybe you all can think of some explanations. I wouldn't want to make them run outside and inside because I feel that would make them too hard. Even when having only a couple zombies chasing you when you have no weapon or ammunition would make it impossible to loot gear if you found it without getting damaged. Even finding an awesome military loot stash would be useless if you had zombies chasing you, since they can chase you indefinitely. So, any suggestions for what I should do to accomplish my goal of a realistic roleplaying server?

I'm talking about the mod.

Hey all, just wanted to say that I'm hosting a new roleplaying server. Serious roleplaying, non-casual. It will start out on the Thirsk map most likely. It's a 50 slot server hosted from DayZ.ST. If you're interested, please join the Steam group at http://steamcommunity.com/groups/a2par So, those of you who are interested, what would you like to see on such a server? Oh, and anyone who may have seen my first topic on these forums, please ignore that. I was younger then and terrible at voicing my opinion. Yes, you will lose your gained gear on death so don't worry about my previous opinions on that. :)

I get the same error, however it still installs it and works fine for me it seems.

You know how when you log in to a server there will be pop ups on the right side of the screen saying "Teamspeak info", "Website/Forums", "Rules", stuff like that? How do I edit that?

So today I've been unable to connect to either of my servers because of this. I have one from Vilayer and one from DayZ.ST. At first I thought it was a Vilayer issue but then the same exact thing (except with an Authentication timeout error at the end) happened on the DayZ.ST server. Other people were also having the same issue on my Vilayer server, I would see them try and join in and then be back and the slot select screen. Is something up with DayZ or ArmA II today, or is there something wrong with my files? Maybe there's the same problem coincidentally going wrong with both server companies?

I've sent in a few tickets to them and they've all been responded to in a timely manner. DayZ.ST has yet to respond to a single e-mail that I've sent them. I know people don't like Vilayer for some of the things they've done but I've got to say, they beat DayZ.ST into the ground.

Hm, yes I can see now why some people would have an issue with their customer support, especially the people who run the forums. I guess this is a case of "It didn't happen to me, so I don't see the problem."

Hello, I have a roleplaying group, as well as my own server if you are interested in joining. Steam group is here: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/a2par Not many people in it yet since I just recently started this group. I know there are other roleplaying groups out there but if you are interested in this one, feel free to join the Steam group. :)

I may get a paid website if I get enough players.

DayZ presents the all-new spot for everyone to kill each other! xD

Yeah, since a lot of people are having the connecting problem, I have had trouble seeing exactly what happens when you die. If you die and lose everything, I'm not going to bother with this mod, I'm not playing something where some random jackass can kill me and take my stuff, I don't see the point of playing for hours and then losing everything. So anyways, someone please let me know what happens when you die, so I know if I'm wasting my time trying to connect.

God damn people, I can't even post what I don't like about the mod without people bitching about it. I just saw that the mod is an RPG, and I like an RPG that is persistent, not lasting until you die, okay? I'm not saying the mod is bad, Okay? It is just that I'm not exactly looking for a game of this type at the moment, I'll be playing it with a couple of friends, because they want to play it, so please, all you people saying I'm a noob or something, your posts are pointless and unhelpful.

If only I could see less immature and idiotic answers like from Pills and Zeek. I don't see the point in playing an RPG to start over when some random guy kills you. I can play some random Gmod server and have the same experience in a smaller map. If you people are content with having all of your hours of gameplay being a waste of time, fine with me. I just don't get the point of having an RPG with no real reason to play for a long time. Please no dick comments on how I'm a noob because I don't want to waste time in a game, if you're content to play for hours and lose it all, just for a sense of challenge, be my guest, it isn't for me, and don't assume that experience is for everyone. Thanks to those who were mature and intelligent enough to post actual answers. I just see an RPG experience as a persistent thing, not something that lasts a few hours before it just resets. I would understand a death penalty, such as losing everything except your guns and ammunition, but losing all of your items is just not something for me, I'm looking for a continuous experience that I can play for hours. Like Legacy said, I am free to not play, and I will do so.
