PSYCHO CHEMICAL 0 Posted January 5, 2013 So I had bought ARMA 2 way back when it first started getting big, I think. At that time, I believe I was able to switch servers and retain my location and gear. I didn't play for a while and now when I come back it seems this feat is no longer possible. Is this due to one of the many updates, different server types, or maps or something? I feel as if I'm missing something simple. :| Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dasmooze 3 Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) its because there are two different types of servers. Normal hive servers, and private hive servers.normal hive servers are all connected and are just the basic dayz mod. so when playing on them your stuff will carry over from server to server.private hive servers are servers that only are connected to its self or, one or two more servers, these servers usually have added vehicles or weapons.with the growing popularity of the game there seems to be more private servers than normal servers, so if your just jointing a random sever just make sure it says US#,UK#,AZ#.ect Edited January 5, 2013 by XxDaSmoozexX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
U.B.C.S. Hops 128 Posted January 5, 2013 Its often hard to differentiate between the two as of late. What you said is true Smooze. It does seem like there are more private that normal servers lately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
