ZORTServer 0 Posted November 26, 2012 (edited) ZORTServer is looking for players who enjoy the classic Day Z gameplay experience but are tired of power hungry admins, and rampant cheating. We work stridently to maintain a guarded and active community that play as survivors, heroes and bandits. Furthermore, we are not content to sit idle and let the game stagnate, and we're busy at work implementing new buildings to bolster existing dead towns and integrating new but balanced vehicle spawns for players to use. Our goal is to preserve the original feel of Day Z while also adding to the gameplay with new content to keep the game fresh.Our server is located in Dallas, TX and while we've established a great starting player base - we're looking to bring new players into the fold. If you're interested, send an e-mail to admin@zortserver.com or a private message us on the forums and give a brief description of why you'd like to play. It doesn't have to be detailed, but we want to make sure you're sincere about contributing to the unique community we're building.Server Launched: 11/26/2012IP Address:66.225.195.172Port: 2302Map: TavianaPlayerbase: 15+Third Person: ONDeath Messages: ONCrosshairs: ONNameplates: OFFWebsite:www.zortserver.comTeamspeak 3 Server info: 216.6.226.24:10130Changelog: http://www.zortserve.../home/changelogUpdated Map: http://dayzdb.com/map#set=15692Our server features:- Automatic 8-hour restarts- Automatic backups- DayZ Anti-Hax, BEC Extended, Gotcha Anti-Hack- Balanced vehicle spawns of different varieties- Alternating Day & Night cycles based on Eastern time - i.e. when it is 8PM EST in real life, one day the server will be day time and the next day it will be night time giving players with set schedules the ability to experience both game times- Custom bases (beta) - Start to rebuild civilization! Collect and trade in scrap metal to build gas stations, fortifications and even buildings that spawn supplies. Base building takes a long time, and requires a great deal of resources, so be prepared to work very hard if you want to build your own structures! rMOD not required.- Custom game map - ZORTServer has implemented a grocery store in Kamenka, and a hospital in Stary Sobor, and we'll continue to add buildings to the game world to liven it up, but also ensure the game remains balanced and the feel of the original game is preserved.- Car crashes, CARE packages and helicopter crash spawns are active!- Dedicated and professional administration team - e-mail inquiries to admin@zortserver.com are generally answered within 15 minutes or less, and the server is constantly monitored via remote connection.Hope to see you in game!

carpediembr 10 Posted November 26, 2012 How does Bases work? How you build'em?Tks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZORTServer 0 Posted November 26, 2012 You collect a set number of resources for the structure you want, find a location, and then with admin help - place it. Structures are permanent and save across restarts. Right now, you can only get a fuel tank and it requires 40 scrap metal - more buildings will be available in the future. Pricing for buildings will most likely change too, depending on statistics gleaned from players (i.e. how fast people are able to gather resources, how many buildings are being built). I don't want the game world littered with out of place and odd buildings, but I still want players to be able to change things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZORTServer 0 Posted November 27, 2012 Just launched a community TeamSpeak server, information is sent along with server information for those who have applied to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shouhuzhe 0 Posted November 27, 2012 Been pretty good since i've been on here :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZORTServer 0 Posted November 27, 2012 Thanks. It's been a successful first day everyone, over 20+ different players, and there's still activity now early in the morning. More updates tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZORTServer 0 Posted November 27, 2012 Had server down for two hours to alter the database a little bit. Added in a grocery store to Kamenka, also a hospital to Stary Sobor. Futhermore, right now in the game world there are a few rare vehicles that have spawned - including a propeller plane, black SUV, camo trucks and a few other cool vehicles. Thanks so far to everyone who has joined the server and played, although only launching yesterday, the server is starting to build a nice community. More updates to come later.

ZORTServer 0 Posted November 27, 2012 There are now around 30 buildings available for purchase. Right now, everything is very expensive - but prices will be adjusted. The goal is to make base building feasible, but a very involved and prolonged activity, as extra buildings should be very rare. I do not want the map littered with random structures. http://www.zortserver.com/home/zortserver-base-building Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stadtkind 5 Posted November 29, 2012 Really enjoying the server right now. I have been on a few private hive servers that have power hungry admins and or poor server performance overall.So far this server runs smooth and has a active admin. Thanks for letting me join Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZORTServer 0 Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Thanks for playing. Edited November 29, 2012 by ZORTServer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carpediembr 10 Posted November 29, 2012 We need another clan to fight the RZR clan(?), I would gladly join another a group for that.I just think that some buildings... like the following one, shouldnt cost 160 scrap metals at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZORTServer 0 Posted November 29, 2012 Totally agree. An e-mail was just sent to the playerbase about this, but we're in the process of adjusting prices - mainly lowering them and also expanding what's available. The prices that exist now are temporary and will definitely be adjusted in the next few days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZORTServer 0 Posted November 30, 2012 Next update to the map will include a barracks on the North East air field, also should have adjusted prices and a more fleshed out building list by Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
