dayzforever (DayZ) 5 Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Hi all,The development team behind DayZForever welcomes you, and invites you to try out our new server hosting DayZ Epoch. We are one of the original private servers to publicly host the mod.A cross between Wasteland/traditional DayZ - DayZ Epoch is a new mod that features a tons of changes from the original DayZ gameplay, here are some of the key features:1) A new currency system. Collect items, sell them to NPCs and other players and gain Gold, Silver, Copper, Tin and Aluminum bars. Use these collected items to purchase vehicles, items, and storage containers.2) Trader NPC cities and whole salers - find items, sell them to traders, gain currency and visit other traders to make different purchases to benefit your character. Wholesalers sell a limited range of items for relatively cheap. Trader NPC cities are special protected areas where PVP cannot occur. They are still vulnerable to vehicles though (layout changes coming).3) Play as an infected player - die while infected by a zombie and become an infected player with special infected abilities - including enhanced speed and an inability to bleed. As a trade off, you lose the ability to use weapons or vehicles.4) Salvage/Siphon system - Salvage parts from vehicles (tires + windshields) and use them to repair other vehicles. Siphone fuel from vehicles with empty jerry cans.5) Dynamic vehicle spawn and road debris spawn system - The game world constantly changes with new vehicles and road based spawns..6) Male or female characters with over 10+ custom skins.7) Purchase vehicles and lock them to your CD key - other players cannot enter locked vehicles, but beware - they can still be damaged and destroyed!Full features here:www.dayzepoch.comOur website:www.dayzforever.comHow to play?IP: 69.162.93.2Port: 2302We will be launching the server at 6PM EST on 3/25/2013.You must have DayZ Epoch installed - www.dayzepoch.com - if you have questions on how to install register at our website and post in the forums.

Corsair Bebop 1 Posted March 26, 2013 Any info about inclusion of this mod in DZC in the near future? Also, are there changes to weapon/accessories loot tables ie are there more or less weapons available? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stadtkind 5 Posted March 26, 2013 Server is back up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stadtkind 5 Posted March 26, 2013 I know at the moment we are working on importing personal and also clan bases to the game for anyone who wishes to have a base. This is a option that we should be offering in the incoming days. I am also adding in a custom town called Woodbury inspired by the walking dead tv show. I posted a pic a few days ago on Reddit sub section DayZ. The response was awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dayzforever (DayZ) 5 Posted March 26, 2013 Not sure about the MOD being on DZC, I think the developers want to wait until to 1.0 before supporting DAYZC. There are custom weapons and spawns. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stadtkind 5 Posted March 26, 2013 Just a quick update that the server has been updated to v0.9999 and we've had 13 unique players join and play the game.If you have any issues, feel free to post in the forums or PM.Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
