LA 5 - The way DayZ is meant to be played

[joikd 25]

*************ATTENTION**************

LA 5 WAS RENAMED TO US 602 DUE TO FORCED SERVER RENAMING

I will start a new thread for US 602 at some point. Nothing else has changed except the name.

******************************************

Survivors, bandits, loners, & clans--you are all welcome on LA 5!!!

DayZ is a brutal survival challenge. In the spirit of DayZ, LA 5 does everything possible to keep it brutal. So, all of the difficulty settings are set to "off".

Have confidence in making LA 5 your home server. Pitch your tents & repair your vehicles--LA 5 is not going anywhere.

I check LA 5 on a regular basis (even at work), and give a 5 minute countdown if it needs to be shut down.

LA 5 will always be updated to the latest DayZ and ArmA patches ASAP along with the in-game host name.

Feel free to post any questions, issues, comments, etc. in this thread, or shoot me a PM.

I like the settings and have been dabbling in this server.

Any feedback from anyone?

Seems pretty good. I got to take down my first wire kit on here this morning, across the doorway of the NW North Barracks... Was ... fun?

Anyway, I've been lugging some stuff around and need to find a home server to pitch camp. Anyone?

I'm kind of disappointed by the lack of posts about this awesome server!

I've only played DayZ for less than 2 weeks total as of writing this post so I'm by no means a seasoned player. I've tried out multiple servers/difficulties and I have to say this is by far my favorite place to play. The settings are perfect, and like it says in the title, this is really how DayZ is meant to be played.

So far, I've only played on this server by myself (my friends are working on getting this game set up shortly), but I've enjoyed every bit of it. I also feel people are less inclined to shoot-on-sight on this server, and are more willing to team up with random strangers. This is just my impression, I could be dead wrong or just straight up lucky with who I have run across thus far. I would like to hear from other people's experiences because I'm curious if being a hardcore server has anything to do with it.

I'm definitely recommending this server as being the go-to server when my friends start playing. I look forward to hearing from and playing with you guys!

Glad you like LA 5, mikey.

The server has only been up a few weeks. Hopefully, more and more people will make this their home server. I like playing when the server is maxed out at 50 since it kind of feels like cheating when there is just a handful of players.

If at some point the server is maxed out on a consistent basis, I might consider upping the slots to 60 or 70 if it doesn't cost too much (and if the server regulars are okay with it). I would love to have multiple clans battling (I'm a loner by the way). I recently registered with Gametracker, which allows me to see which players are playing the most (click on the "Status Page" in my sig). By the way, I'm not sure what factors make up the scores.

Also, the server will soon be switching to GMT-8, which should give an extra hour of daylight in the evening. I am pushing for UTC-11, which should give an extra 4 hours of daylight in the evening, but that isn't available right now. Hopefully, most players would like that, too.

Well, looks like I'm in..

See you all Monday (I play daytimes during the week).

FYI

There was a forced named change. LA 5 is now US 602. Nothing else has changed. The easiest way to find this server is to use "joikd" in the filter.
