Chronx (DayZ) 13 Posted January 31, 2013 I currently admin this server herehttp://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/120894-chernarus-1-custom-loadouts-teamspeak-active-admins-bambis-noobs-and-bandits-welcome/I was curious if locking it and setting a whitelist would bring in more activity. We are looking to get it more populated than it is and are asking the general public what YOU want. We are open to any form of criticism. Look forward to seeing responses.

Pyro_Marine 147 Posted January 31, 2013 I personally prefer public servers (that way I don't have to remember a server name, I can just play whenever and pick the server with the best ping) BUT the hackers.... :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iphone@byvampdesign.com 0 Posted January 31, 2013 Thought about going white list, but we'll see how the non white list goes. Takes awhile for the server to be found by new players. Find a catchy tag name for the server Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inception. 9443 Posted January 31, 2013 Most people prefer whitelisted servers, yes, because that means admins are active. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uniqueLOL 21 Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) Most people prefer whitelisted servers, yes, because that means admins are active.How does this mean admins are active? Many whitelist servers have maybe 1 admin for the entire server because they bank on the whitelist to guarantee no hacking... but admins are needed for more than just hackers. This does not mean admins are more active in the slightest. Many whitelisted servers run on automated scripts. You input ur GUID on a website forum/fill out a few boxes and its automatic.Whitelist is great if you have a good following, a good solid group of people who play the game on a regular basis. If not, stay off whitelisting for a while, and admin ur damn server. Not hard to find the hackers if your server is set up correctly.Okay, I suppose I wasn't thinking of the same whitelisting process.What we do at Balota Buddies is that we manually whitelist people, and question them. It weeds out the hackers. Not the automated scripts. Edited February 1, 2013 by Inception. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
