Namalsk: Why do folks like it?

If you only play DayZ because you like to run around alone looting, you are in the beginner stage of DayZ players. How long have you played this mod, one month? Survival is not a challenge at all, so what else is there to do than hoarding the best gear and vehicles, while killing people in the process?

Trade. Build. Repair.

I've played DayZ since August.

From my experience running this map on one of our servers, a few really like it, but many dont.

Its too tough and full of PVP.

Personally i love it, its the best Dayz map other than Cherno.

Smaller size, not TOO small. Survival is more apparent with the lack of food and cold temperatures.

The abundance of military weapons and smaller size does increase the player vs player aspect sure. I wouldn't go as far to say it's a deathmatch though. I learned a lot of valuable tactical skills in engaging players on Namalsk while having a great time trying to just survive. The map is also very easy to learn and navigate. Overall a great map and a good break from the everyday Chernarus.
