Character Transfers

[Tr1x 53]

So, does your character not transfer to other servers anymore? Haven't played in like 6 months. I remember you could log onto other servers and still have your character from the last time you played. I am transferring between the official dayz servers and my character data does not follow.

This should not happen unless you are joining different private hives.

[GOD™ 2795]

you can still "transfer" your character on public hives.

But public hives is where all the script kiddies hang out.

[Mitunzz 90]

Unless you join whitelisted private hives, they're the best.

Public Hive - The public hive servers are connected to the main DayZ database where you can transfer your characters from server to server, providing they're all connected to the same hive.

Private Hive - Private hives are servers that are not connected to the main DayZ database and are much more open to modification. Generally private hives don't transfer your character to other servers, unless they use their own hive database that allows characters to transfer from one server to another server that is connected to the same hive.

I hope this clears things up a bit.
