What are you looking for in a server?

[willifer 2]

A friend and I are making a new DayZ server. I am currently map editing in some new buildings. I am looking to get some ideas on what people would like to see.

So far I am adding more buildings and military presence to main cities.

Any ideas are much appreciated. :)

Maybe I'm just a purist, but I only like Vanilla servers: No added weapons, vehicles, buildings, a proper day/night cycle (no full moon every night or, especially, 24/7 day), vanilla starting equipment.

If I want a different flavour I play DayZ+ quite a lot, and dabble in 2017 (I think 2017 is pretty guff, though).

Same here. Vanilla settings.

And normal* difficulty as well, as in no crosshairs, no 3rd person, no waypoints and no side chat.

* everything else is crybaby easy mode ;)

If you have a day/night cycle then I suggest adding a permanant full moon at night. Though most people prefer to have it day only, I think that day only detracts from the experience but the numbers talk. Night = servers get empty (unfortunately). I personally find the new zombies to be a PITA since the update when confronting them at nighttime since without a full moon you have to go around with a flashlight. If you are lucky you can find/spawn with flares I guess. (But really full moon might make some people satisfied at night. I personally dont mind either way)

A decent anti-cheat script to stop try stopping hackers. A whitelist would be good too but maybe only after a few days(or a week) of being online depending on the number of people you have active (and you would need to stay on top of all whitelist applications.)

No overpowered custom gear to be looted.

My prefered starting gear;

Matches

Waterbottle

Hunting Knife

1 Bandage

Patrol Pack

Flashlight

1 Flares

No crosshairs or waypoints on the map.

Cant think of anything else off the top of my head..

If you want to get a lot of players really quick just put on 1000 vehicles and start them with AS50's. 24/7 day too. The DayZ community doesn't even like to play DayZ anymore, it's ridiculous.

Night/day cycle... if i could find a private server with active admins that did this i would donate cash money ... jus sayin.

We have plans for different cycles. also we have daily/weekly events planned. we really want to do more than just set a basic map and set it on 24/7 day and let it sit.

Still looking for advice.
