Hosting Rules for Standalone?

[crazykid1297 51]

This question is about the rules of DayZ server hosting.

Will they be the same in DayZ standalone? Because they really shouldn't, it will deter a lot of people from wanting to pay for a server. Given the current rules, you basically are paying for a server that you don't actually own, you can't control it the way you'd like to.

If that is the same in standalone, that may deter people from even buying hosting or buying the game.

In my view, you should be able to moderate the server that you are paying for. You shouldn't be told how to spend your money.

So if there's any clarification at all, please post.

You have the wrong idea. You can "rent" server space but you can also have your own server farm and host a server which you "own" if you want. I don't know many people with the servers in their house who do this outside of a couple of clans. I might set up one myself. But if you want to "own" the hardware then you can "own" the server. No rules state that you cannot host a server this way.

They do tell us how we can run our servers that we pay our own money for. And if we don't follow the hosting rules that they'd blacklist us. So what's the point of even paying for a server if we can't use it as we please? If we can't use it how we want to use it, we don't own it. That's the point I'm getting at. We pay for it, but we are told how to use it. That really makes people not even want to pay for a server.

And private hives are boring, no offense to those who enjoy them... I just prefer actual hive servers myself. :)
