DayZ Convention

[Pvt. James Duke 28]

So here is my grand and wondrous idea... A DayZ convention. Just a simple place where maybe the dev. team could have a Q&A live with the people who make this mod so popular the players. Maybe have some merchandise, a costume contest, etc. If my idea holds water maybe have it so one year it's here in the US and the next it's in Europe. Thanks for reading and happy hunting.

Ah, why not. Minecraft had more players before Minecon happened though, and I'm not sure we're the same kind of community as the Minecraft one.

Hmmm, perhaps we could have it in a Hobbit hole in NZ?

Or the real life Green Mountain?

Maybe even Cloud Cukoo land?

No, I'd say the DayZ community is about just as mindless as the Minecraft community.

Would be great to hold in in the real life Cherno, Chernarus. Its in the Czech republic, yes?

Why not? Stick 1000-2000 people in a giant convention center, with plenty of panels and props. Wait, that sounds like Minecon.

Nope, Russia.

"Tjechie" - "The Czech Republic", is the basis for "Chernarus".

If you look it up, you'll see that the team did an absolutely AMAZING job of recreating that area in their East Chernarus map.

IRL Cherno is "Nestemice", The real Elektro is called "Povrly". Probably the most suitable locations for a convention.

You won't see me there though. I find it safest to avoid other survivors.

EDIT: I didn't know about it either, but honestly, now that I've seen it, it's seriously impressive.

From the comparison looks like they've got more urban areas to add. ;)

I'm waiting to see if "Chernarus +" has a version of Strekov (seen on the IRL map).

It could be the Atlantis of DayZ
