Shakis 33 Posted March 28, 2013 The last time I properly played Vanilla DayZ was probably away last year, for the last few months I have been playing on DayZ Origins.Today I had a strong urge to play regular DayZ but my DayZ Commander couldn't find a server at all.With the "Hide unofficial" button ticked there was not a single server, so I tried unticking the box and a whole load of servers popped up.I scanned through a few pages of servers and every single one of them had at least one thing I considered "wrong" with them."Always Daylight", "AI NPC's", "full starter kit", "REGULAR", "customer loadout", "start with sniper", "NO PVP" (<-- wtf?), "start with NVG", "Better Loot", "100 helis"...It is my opinion that everything listed above (and there are plenty of other options not listed) ruins the game.Most of the servers seemed to try and entice people in by being "noob friendly".Personally I think the game should be as hard an punishing as possible. No starting loot, day/night cycle, rare loot etc.../rantANYWAYThe reason for my post was really just to ask has vanilla DayZ died? or do you recommend trying a different search technique? 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steak and Potatoes 13480 Posted March 28, 2013 BB has a dayz vanilla server but its settings are hardcore not sure if your into first person only? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syn111 2 Posted March 28, 2013 agreed! Really hard to find a full vanilla server nowadays! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imafighter 236 Posted March 29, 2013 Just type in "Vanilla" in the search bar. Servers don't usually have a lot of people, but I managed to get a server that had around 20.173.208.83.194:2362 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AthanTheGreat 5 Posted March 29, 2013 Seriously? I can see atleast 500 vanilla servers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spinager 152 Posted March 29, 2013 Billy Mays Remembrance Foundation. Vanilla DayZ with all the Vet settings on. DayNight/FPS only/no starter equipment just regular bandage and flashlight/No crosshairs. I believe they have a server for each coast in the USA. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smore98 225 Posted March 29, 2013 How convenient.You know, it is quite strange how I haven't played DayZ for a while, and never thought of a valid reason why.I think this is what found it.Don't get me wrong, I won't go completely insane if I start out with a hatchet, or even a pistol to grant me some ease. However, when I see servers that advertise MAX VEHICLES, or FULL MLG LAYOUT (Yes, I had seen one of these before), I begin to question how the validated hardcore aspect that DayZ is known for lives up today.I think one server that made me lose my shit is one that started you out with Mountain Dew. Clicked abort and quit faster than Rainbow Dash can split the sky with a "Sonic Rainboom".I should probably go try a bit of BB's Hardcore server, as Steak showed. Forgot that existed.Cheers, Comrades. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bad_mojo (DayZ) 1204 Posted March 30, 2013 Make sure your other filters aren't hiding the servers. Was it still set to 'DayZ origins' in the mod box? I usually filter official servers with more than 20 people and less than 120 ping and get about 10. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
green_machine 179 Posted March 30, 2013 I hope it doesn't happen to the stand alone a few months after release... 10,000 lobbies full of crap. I think Rocket & Co. will have to take action because it's ridiculous with all these "Donation/ Payments" to get yourself a load out whereas any hacker would be mobbed on the side chat for having it. Ok if you pay for it, not if you hack for it. Total hypocrisy.If it was a donation, you would not get anything in return. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Require 10 Posted March 30, 2013 US 3480. Best Official, Vanilla Server out there. Good community, regular players, and good admins. We could use a little more people though! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Speirs 9 Posted March 30, 2013 I somehow doubt rocket will outlaw the modding community. A heap of players would go apeshit on his ass. He'd have no anus left after they were finished with him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_Anubis_ (DayZ) 139 Posted March 31, 2013 In Europe where I live there are plenty of private servers which are vanilla or almost vanilla (e.g. a Makarov, which I discard since I dislike it anyway).The problem is vehicles however: a little bit too many sometimes._Anubis_ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TG ! Jimmy 216 Posted April 1, 2013 As mentioned above, we're always happy to have more people to play with at US3480. It's a NY based server, people from all over seem to ping well enough to it. Hope to see some new faces out there!Cheers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dreams_Of_Cheese (DayZ) 71 Posted April 1, 2013 If DayZ SA is going to be as hardcore as it sounds, it going to be a freaking kick in the teeth to those playing on 24/7 day servers. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
itamar (DayZ) 13 Posted August 3, 2013 I'm from israel... what state servers can i play? Because some states dont work for me.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dilorenzovictor@gmail.com 36 Posted August 3, 2013 Yea, sometimes I find 5, sometimes I find 20. Last year when I started playing there were a lot lot more. But I use "hide unoficial, wrong dayz version, wrong arma 2 version, day only" I just hate night time in this game, its too damn dark. Ive been in the woods where there was no light polution, moon+ stars+ your eyes adjusting makes crap pretty visible. Not pitch black. (unless thy fixed it, havent seen night in a year :P ) Anyway, not many servers with a ping under 100 from me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

joej1234@hotmail.co.uk 0 Posted August 7, 2013 Are there any servers that are back to basics, original DayZ, e.g M107'S/AS50'S etc? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shakis 33 Posted August 9, 2013 Three PKs? Yeah, I logged in and there was a guy in the trees on the hill right next to the tents at stary... I didn't know he was there until another survivor came running in and got gunned down, I went hunting for the guy that killed him... I found and killed him then waited on my pal as 2 more people turned up... I think there were about 3 or 4 different groups of survivors at one point cos there was a lot of gunfighting giong on I tried to stay hidden and my pal was gunned down when he arrived, I was killed too.. I think the whole time I was there there was someone just 50m behind me staying quiet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
