No PVP is a nice idea, but it is a big part of the mod. Why not just have designated PVP zones, maybe the northern half of the map.

Also you shouldn't take money for what should be a community service. That is basically profiting and all money should go on server fees. Just my opinion.

We have already given the pvp zone idea plenty of thought, unfortunately there's no way of monitoring it effectively. What if a user passes through that area innocently, and gets killed. What if people in the zone wonder out onto the other areas without really paying much attention, or they decide to start shooting people from "within" the pvp zone and claiming ignorane ;)

I've ran a dedicated minecraft server before where I did custom loadouts for people, as a favor. But it slowly turned into a full time job while I was online, so without sounding like I don't agree with your statement (because I do) I simply can't do it for free. I will however stop charging, once the money collected reached enough to pay the server off (this has already been discussed with my 2 admins). So I kind of figure that pretty fair on everyone.

As for PVP being a big part of the mod. It is now, but when it started out Zeds were a huge part of the mod. If people want to kill other people ingame, then why not play COD , QUAKE or the original ARMA! You'll notice from my description that we don't actually forbid PVP alltogether, but we'd just rather it was less for the douche-kill and more for true survival (i.e I need food, or I'll die, so I'm going to try and take yours)... Not, "oh look , another clueless player just trying to enjoy the zed hunt.. I know, I'll snipe him with my AS50 from this hill I've been camping on for the past 2 days!" lol ;)

Cheers for the comments.

[haywardgb 129]

This a good idea? I've basically split the map as you suggested and given the map a very clear RED and GREEN zones marking. Red is PVP and Green is NON PVP ;)

That part where it mixes in the middle is the "turn back now or face the music" zone ;)

I mean from stary sobor upwards, but yes you are right you can't enforce it.

Don't mind joining you for a game anyway, let me know if you are hosting

[haywardgb 129]

LOL, no way... Stary is one of the best places for my looting :P

Yeah, come on in and join us any time.. I'm logging off soon, but others are there..

[haywardgb 129]

We've just updated to patch 1.7.5.1 .

The refuel script still works but the debug monitor will need testing properly first for errors.

When there are no admins present or the server is extremely busy there will be a white listing policy enabled, so please post your GUID along with your in-game username in this thread. It may take up to 24 hours to get added , but we do try to get you listed within an hour.

Added zone triggers. The user will now get notified when they enter either the Red, Green or Buffer zones. The red and green overlays have been replaced with Red and Green borders instead, as we had complaints that users couldnt read the map properly.

Added a community base Far west of zelonogorsk, if you can find it, you can join us. Please do not touch any vehicles , as these all belong to people who have found them and brought them to the base for safe keeping. Feel free to park yours in the hanger or in the general area. We are not safe from zombies here, there are several dear stands that spawn zombies (and loot) , so be on your guard at all times :)

For the time being custom loadouts aren't working , this is due to the latest patch and something to do with Bliss (that I honestly don't understand so I'm leaving it for now). All users will therefore be given a decent loadout at start including NVGs , Rangefinders and a silenced weapon. Hope that's ok!

Please see the top post for updates on the new patch and additional information.

Still my favorite server with nice people ...

Try it!

[haywardgb 129]

Need to get some feedback on server performance. Since dayz.st went down the other day for over 3 hours, my server hasn't felt the same since it came back online. Haven't seen the usual half a dozen regulars on either.. Anyone care to let me know how the server is performing for them :) thanks!

[haywardgb 129]

Announcement: Sidechat has been turned off. This decision has been made to help keep with the realism of the game and prevent unnecessary chat pollution people can still try to contact an admin using Direct, Group or Vehicle chat , as admins can see all text conversations in RCon.

Sidechat is back due to issues with broadcast messages not being seen. Oh hum! lol

In other news: The admins will broadcast the location of random vehicles throughout the day, this might be once every hour or once a day, depending on whether we have the time. Locations for vehicles will be announced using GPS coordinates and there will be no further announcements on the success or failure of players getting the vehicle. The type of vehicle will be up to you to find out!

Cpt Hayward, out!

It's Kill the Admins weekend... (cancelled due to no takers! lol)

Due to the lack of player interest, the existing player bitching about not enough pvp and the fact I just can't be bothered anymore. The Red Zone has been increased to accommodate more PVP. Effectively the Green Zone is now nothing more than a breathing space for players to gather supplies before they brave the North. I would appreciate feedback, suggestions and input via this forum thread.. Cheers :)

[haywardgb 129]

So far we've had a poor service with Dayz.st , every couple of days has seen us without service for up to a few hours. There's also the issue of lag which is effecting everyone, so I can confirm this is a dayz.st service issue. However, I can't complain anymore about them on their threads due to the bullying and trolling. So if the issues continue I will look into another provider and we will move over within the week.

Weapon Shop "Drop" party this evening at 10pm (London Time).

The location will be announced 10 minutes before we open ;)

All weapons and ammunition are free-for-all. Come grab what you can , while you can. After that we'll be taking everyone on a bus ride through Cherno and Elektro for a little zombie fest, you know, so you can try out your new weapons and all :P

[haywardgb 129]

Removed road blocks and customised the military tent spots a little ;)

[Mary008 1]

Downtime and Lag issues: I want to start by saying I'm sorry for the amount of lag and downtime recently. Unfortunatley my attempts at getting this fixed are being met with "its working now" or "we were DDOS'd" responses from my hosting provider (dayz.st). My complaints on the forums are also being met with bully boy "shut your mouth complaining" type trolls. So I've given up on that as well, if dayz.st continue to provide such a poor service I'll move everything over to another provider. Until then please bare with me.

Chernarus [NO Roadblocks] [Whitelisted when Admins are absent] [Veteran : No CH] and not forgetting [Friendly Server]

Our server has been divided into two very distinctive zones, Red and Green..

RED zone is for PVP (and very brave survivors) , stay away from this zone if you absolutely don't want to be shot at. The best vehicles often spawn here though, so if you fancy taking your chances maybe you'll get to pick up a high profile vehicle, possibly even a Humvee. Ok now this is very important, please pay attention: Firstly, if you are killed in the RED ZONE, there is nothing I or my admins can do about it, that's pvp for you. However, most of us, myself included despise those dam bandits and enjoy nothing more than giving them a taste of their own medicine. So, if you are in the Red Zone and find yourself pinned down by one or more bandits, send out an S.O.S on sidechat with your rough location, maybe you'll get lucky and find support close by. Remember, you don't have to kill each other in the Red Zone, its just the only zone where that type of madness is permitted! Get in, grab some gear and get out, that's my motto!

GREEN zone is a SAFE AREA, NO PVP allowed (you will be perma-banned if you deliberately kill or harm another player in this zone). Players should stay here if they just want to kill zeds, loot or gear up for the red zone. I created the Green Zone in an attempt to bring back some of the original DayZ spirit that I remember from the early days, before all the lol-kill-bandits, grievers and outright douche bags took over. Back in the early days bandits were players that hunted other players with high end gear (they left bambies and casual survivors alone), and for the most part everyone else just cooperated and killed zeds.

The Buffer Zone in between the Red and Green Zone is to ensure there's no accidental shooting of people in the green zone, so enter this area at your own risk because I can't promise you won't be sniped once you pass that line!

How do you know which zone you're in?

At every respawn (start of a new life) you will always begin in the Green Zone, you will also get a warning message when you enter either the Red , Neutral or Green zones. So there's no excuses for being in the wrong place and not knowing it! If you're lucky enough to find a Map you will also see the boundaries marked out in Red and Green.

Player stats: coming soon!

Rules: (because without them, it's chaos!)

• Please only use Global Side Chat (the blue one) for typed messages. Of course the exception to this rule is if you're in trouble i.e you're dying somewhere in the green zone and need a blood transfusion from anybody in the area asap and don't have time to type it out (doesn't apply to the Red Zone of course). Also feel free to use it for letting others know if you suspect a hack is taking place and to get the attention of an admin (all zones).
  
• Use the appropriate side channel for your needs. i.e if you're close to someone use Direct Communication, and if you're in a vehicle use Vehicle Chat (voice chat is permitted for either).
  
• No shooting, killing or trolling players in the Green Zone (repeat offenders will be banned).
  
• No stealing from other players in the Green Zone, this includes vehicles. If you find a vehicle with gear in it, assume the vehicle belongs to someone, if you're caught stealing you risk being banned from the server.
  
• The Green Zone vehicle rule only applies to Vehicles that have obviously been hidden. Vehicles that are simply just sitting in the fuel station or behind the back of the supermarket etc are fair game if nobody claims it on sidechat!
  
• No tricking bambies into the Red Zone so you can get a lol kill. I'll be monitoring the chat logs and repeat offenders will be banned. I particularly dislike this type of bandit, play fair or get lost!
  
• You don't have to kill other players in the Red Zone and they don't have to kill you, this is just the only area on my server where PVP is allowed. Really, avoid this area during peak times when the server is busy if you prefer not to lose your life for a tin of beans and your precious sniper rifle!
  
• Script kiddies, grievers, trouble causers and hackers will be banned without warning (We run Gotcha and BE, but our admins are also constantly checking backpacks and inventories, along with the vehicle logs etc.).
  
• Please keep the cursing and rants to a minimum. If you start to upset people with your negative language we may be forced to kick you off the server and possibly even ban you.
  
• No excessive use of barbwire, tank traps or sandbags. Please only use what you need to for your base only.
  
• We have an Admin base which is obvious if you get close to it (a message will appear on your screen, warning you to turn back). We ask that you respect our request NOT to enter the restricted zone. You may be kicked off the server if you enter far into the restricted area, followed by a 24 hour ban if you refuse to leave.
  

Want to help keep our server running?

All donations go towards the DayZ hosting fees, teamspeak server and website. Currently we haven't raised enough to pay for teamspeak or a website, but these will be added when donations reach the mark. To make a donation simply make a gift payment via paypal and where it gives you the option to leave a message mention your in-game name. One of our admins will add a little extra something to you default loadout (you'll get it at every respawn too)...

Tips and Advice:

• When you first start out you'll be on the coast somewhere. Your first task is to figure out where you are and start scavanging for food, water, weapons and medical supplies. The information below will help you out:
  
• The clouds in Chernarus always travel from West to East!
  
• You can find an online map here: http://dayzdb.com/map (study it and keep it handy)
  
• The spawns listed on that map are not accurate (for our server), all other markers are accurate.
  
• Every so often an admin will announce the GPS coordinates of a sighted vehicle. Take notes!
  
• Zombies (we call them Zeds) have excellent eyesight and hearing during the day, but night time and rainy weather make them less sensitive to your movements. Use the night and the rain to your advantage.
  
• You will see an Eye and an Ear symbol at the top right of your screen, these are indicators to show you how loud or visible you are right now. Even if you can't see any Zeds, the indicators rarely lie!
  
• Stealth is your key to survival. Crouch , walk but don't run and crawl to avoid detection.
  
• Zeds can't run indoors, use this to your advantage. Drawing Zeds into a supermarket or industrial warehouse is the best place to take them out.
  
• If you're injured and are overwhelmed by Zeds, get yourself inside. Find a supermaket or a warehouse, run to the back and bandage yourself (Zeds can get you through walls, so don't be right up close to the wall, leave a gap to be safe!). Don't try and bandage yourself while you're already under attack.
  
• You can also avoid damage from Zeds by crouching in a fern tree (get close to the trunk and crouch down, at the time of typing this there is still a bug in the code that prevents Zeds from being able to harm you here).
  
• Shaking is caused by injury and shock. To stop your character from shaking take some painkillers.
  
• Broken legs can be fixed with morphine.
  
• Blood transfusions can only be given by another player. Blood transfusions also carry the risk of infection!
  
• Eating meat will replace blood loss faster than eating canned food. You can also eat Raw meat but you risk infection.
  
• Boil water before drinking it, or you risk infection.
  
• Infections, including colds can be cured with antibiotics.
  
• On the subject of colds. If you're character gets ill they may start coughing which will alert Zeds to your presence. Always try and keep at least 1 antibiotic on you.
  
• Breaking into hospitals for supplies is simple when you know how. Find an empty tin can, pick it up and make sure you're facing the hospital window. Press F until you see the option to Throw, then aim at the window and throw. You may need to do this a couple of times, so grab a few empty cans beforehand This is the quietest and quickest way to break the hospital windows. It rarely attracts the attention of Zeds or other players!
  
• Throwing a tin can into an open area will often get the attention of Zeds, which is perfect if you need a distraction. This also works with smoke grenades and road flares (though road flares don't seem as effective in my experience).
  
• Loot doesn't always spawn straight away. If you get to a supermarket for example and find there's nothing there, then simply head outside by at least 30 meters but no more than 100 and wait for a minute, then head back. If you still don't see any loot, then assume someone got there already and looted it or the server is just lagging!
  
• You will see our regulars requesting GPS coordinates from other players when trying to locate each other. Learn this technique and learn it fast, because if you need help and you can't give us your location we may just give up and leave you to the Zeds. The GPS coordinates are the 6 biggest numbers on your GPS (Press M and you'll see it). The first 3 numbers correspond to the numbers at the top of your screen (you might have to zoom in to get 3 digits per square) and the last 3 numbers correspond to the numbers down the right. For example, 069124 would read 069 across the top of the map, and 124 down the right side of the map (these coordinates put you somewhere in Cherno btw, try it out).
  
• In short: Figure out where you are, make a plan of action, find food and water, search for tools and weapons, play it safe around zombies and stay as quiet as you can, if you're injured get inside and bandage up, take painkillers for shaking and morphine for broken bones. Use the online map to find where all the hospitals, supermarkets and water sources etc are. But remember, the spawn points for vehicles are totally different on our map ;)

i think taking out side chat was a good idea but I believe it will be easier to contact the admins if there were to be a hacker or similar. I also believe players would prefer to contact each other through the side chat as it would be easier than doing it on a other page such as an email or skype

[BoMo 13]

Regarding the in game message ...

OK, second vote: Against side chat

Reason: Admins can be contacted on other ways and it is more "natural" or like a simulation for me (what I like).

And for those playing together there is skype the tool ... Or a TS Server, but this will cost a little.

Perhaps there are also free ones, idk ...

Regards

[Edit]: second vote
