This is what I am looking for in a private hive.

[klesh 2423]

Hi,

Just got killed again by a hacker. 2nd time in as many days, probably the 10th or more time in total and I am just done with wasting hours of my life to be some kiddie's ragdoll.

I stayed on the public main hive because I got attached to my +50,000 humanity hero skin. I worked hard to get it, but I just can't take the cheaters anymore.

I am looking for a secure private hive with active admins and as little to no hacking as possible.

I am looking for a server that runs plain ol' DayZ.

I don't want 24/7 daylight, extra weapons, +500 vehicles or any of that nonsense.

3rd person on, crosshairs or nameplates I could take or leave.

I'm not sure what whitelisting is actually, but if it helps keep the clientele in check then I am interested in that as well.

I am in GMT-5, so preferably something that has a reasonable ping from the east coast of the States.

If this sounds like your private hive server then please let me know.

Thanks.

Whitelisting is pretty cool - basically, to join a server you register with them first. Helps keep randoms and hackers out, and helps admin screen who comes in. We haven't found a need to implement it yet, but are ready to do so if required.

Good luck on your search!

I'd check Balota Buddies.

I just started again and I've been playing with them for the past few hours, brilliant servers so far.

Good admins running good old Chernarus, the only thing different are a couple of extra buildings scattered around, nothing silly like extra military spawns though.

They were looking for extra players here for the new US server: http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/113343-we-need-some-assholes-on-us46/

Ran by a few of the forum moderators here and a couple of other guys, so good admins and whitelisting.

Hope you find a good server!

I actually just found that as well! Sounds great but their webpage to get yourself whitelisted is down. Man, what a shit night for DayZ for me. :(

Edit: Wait, there is hope! The server is down for the UK one, or at least balotabuddies.com is down... followed the links in the thread you gave me and I'm at least at the application page!

Each whitelisted server utilizes it's own method of whitelisting - if one whitelisting mechanic is down, other whitelist servers should still be accessible.

I think they are sorting somethingm, it was going up and down earlier when I was applying.

The teamspeak is active and so far all the guys have been brilliant, the teamspeak to get yourself whitelisted is:

ts.balotabuddies.com

There are admins on there that can whitelist you.
