Play on Two Servers??

[selmack 7]

I finally have something good happening at the moment but sun in going down on server. I am still a but confused about how servers respawn or continue to play. I located a server that is still early in day and only a couple people but it is by a different provider.

If I go to that server and respawn will I lose my play in current server? Even if I respawn, will items I am hiding be there assuming no one has taken them?

If I respawn on new server - I can not go back to old server in same place correct?

Lastly, I actually found myself on server when zombies had got me. Took my stuff but wanted to pick up body and hide it? I have seen people in videos move bodies and the hide them but I can not locate commands to do this - and I do have a good list of commands. Can anyone assist me please?

I would be willing to help someone with blood if I could trust them - so picking up body to move to safe place would be handy to write down.

Lastly, Lastly, I saw a guy crawl up to a group of zombies surrounding a body - I assume taking things - then crawl out - Zombies did not move. How is this possible? When I left game the zombies still had not left body - They never move. But how did he do that?

On current server I am seeing a lot of people being booted for hacks and global hacks I think. Global Errors maybe? Is this how he did that?

Thanks for advice and assistance!!!!

Unless you are dealing with "private hives" (outside the scope of my reply), then you can join as many servers in a row as you want.

When I first started, I would keep trying new ones until I found one that worked well and that I liked.

Any stuff you stashed on server A will NOT follow you to server B, unless you mean you had it on your person.

But, when you go back to server A, it will still be there. Even if you go to 100 other servers in the meanwhile.

That is, it will still be there if server A has not restarted.

Now, if you are talking about a tent, then yes that will persist past server restarts, if you save the tent... but it will not follow you to server B, C, D.

The mousewheel is your friend:

Save a tent by looking at it, then turning the mousewheel. Sometimes you have to look around a bit to get the correct choice to show up in the mousewheel menu.

Hiding bodies:

When you hide a body, you bury it and it's gone forever. It sounds great, but you can't get anything back from it once you hide it.

So... if you die, and are lucky enough to respawn and get back to your body (on the same server ONLY), then you can look at yourself and inspect the pack, and also use the mousewheel (your new friend) to get to the GEAR menu. That will allow you to get stuff off your person that was not in your pack.

Since you are new I am going to go out on a limb and suggest that you are not using your pack correctly - look for the dayz wiki article on that. :)

If it's night time, you can get right next to a zombie and they will usually be none-the-wiser.

If it's day time, you can do it kind of the same way, but you must be prone.

Not sure what you saw with non-moving zombies. Bug.

Good luck.

Oh yeah, since it looks like you are looking to stay in the daylight, I forgot to mention - you can leave a server and look for another one with more favorable conditions.

Night can be pitch black and impossible, but... if you get a server that has a clear night (luck of the draw), you will get plenty of starlight and possibly moonlight to see by.

That will help immensely, since the zombies can not see you in the dark but you can see them.

If you want to stick to the daytime servers, you can. Your character persistence will continue. It's not like you travel back in time or anything... you are just continuing with the same character on a potentially-impossibly-perpetual state of daylight.
