I think the problem with KOS and very rude behavior is due to the server populations. Since there are a max of 40 or so players, interaction is few and far between, which creates anxiety during those interactions. I guess a question to people who have knowledge, but what is the server capable of? If servers held 200 or more people, I think you would see a lot more civil behavior with a lot less chance to have the KOS or anxiety from other human interaction. Any thoughts? With to low limit on server population, it tends to make people isolated and not connected to the server or to the community.

If anyone has played Wurm you may understand the depth of its crafting/building system. This type of crafting/building system would give DayZ the depth that it already contains in survival mode, i.e. gather the simple things like food, water. I enjoy the difficult level in this game as-is. As a standalone, the depth should continue to the new systems. From what it takes to build a building, an incredible amount of time, to the time to gather the resources, storage types and such. The open real world is how the game should develop further. If i put all my logs in a huge pile to build my house, Mr. neighbor can stop by and take some if he wants (not without consequences though). Imagine the time it would take you, survivor in a zombie world, to cut down trees, clean the wood, nail them together, it would be massive amounts of time, but with several survivors, it can be done MUCH quicker.

This is a setting in Dayz Commander, you can chose it to launch with Steam.

I was running through the woods, came to a road. Before coming out of the woods I gave a quick look around and saw no zombies. I ran up the road for about 15 seconds, then all of a sudden, a shock, my screen goes gray, then the famous, YOU ARE DEAD. I'm almost certain it was a sniper, but I never heard a sound. This was my first go around and had no loot, so no disappointments.

This story is almost exactly as many others, including my own!
