elektromafia 1 Posted April 23, 2013 Hey guys! New to PC gaming let alone DayZ and looking forward to getting stuck in. Am a bit wary of all the skiddies/modders ruining what looks like is a really immersive gaming experience so am looking for any help/advice on how best to start off, decent servers etc etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herrjon 478 Posted April 23, 2013 Just look for a private server (not a public server connected to the main hive) and preferably whitelisted. The whitelisting isn't a huge deal as most skiddies stick to public hive, but it helps. Balota Buddies is one specific whitelisted one that I can recommend.

DemonGroover 8836 Posted April 23, 2013 Hey there, welcome.Check out the Private Hives Discussion sub forum for details on private servers available. It can be a bit daunting at first finding a server. My recommendation is to use Play With Six or DayZ Commander to help out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DemonGroover 8836 Posted April 23, 2013 There are plenty of UK and Europe based servers..i think even East Coast US is good ping for you guys.You should try playing from Australia... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matt6950 11 Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Hey if your looking for UK servers I host two.We have a low player base, so you wont get killed by bandits every 5 mins witch is good for new players.http://dayzmod.com/f...3admins-wanted/Orhttp://dayzmod.com/f...sadmins-wanted/I plan on white lisitng them soon. just want to get a player base 1st Edited April 23, 2013 by matt6950 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elektromafia 1 Posted April 23, 2013 Cheers kind of want to get thrown in at the deep end and get fully immersed in the whole apocalypse scenario so more players/bandits kinda appeals to me (masochistic i know). So long as it's all fair (no skiddies/modders) then i'm game. Will hop back on tomorrow and try the various suggested servers and report back :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
