Yeah, this is going to be epic, it's like a zombie Command and Conquer, where tribal wars will ensue . . . Mad Max will look like the Teletubbies in comparison B)

Our group is playing on BSM now for about 2 months and we are extremely happy with the server's features, performance, stability, responsiveness, administration and lack of hackers.

• Performance and Responsiveness: Server restarts take place within seconds. Also no delay or lag when moving items between storage containers (e.g. car -> backpack)
  
• Stability: Server runs very stable with very little crashes (a handful during the course of a month)
  
• Administration: There is always an admin around either in-game or on their teamspeak server.
  
• Protection from Hackers: Since we started playing on BSM there wasn't a single instance where we witnessed teleporting, spawning of items, mass suicides or the like. Of course there is the occasional occurrence of glitching where some players "hide" themselves or their tents in rocks and similar exploits. We know of those incidents because the admins actively search the logs for such exploits and warn offenders and ultimately ban those individuals (happened once in our time).
  
• Features: Not only are there a lot of custom scripts implementing features for dayztaviana.com that only exist in vanilla DayZ but they also add completely new functionality like melee attacks, part detachment and re-attachment to vehicles, HALO jumping (controlling the opening altitude of your chute along with your speed and direction both in free-fall and on suspension on the chute), spawning of loot when approaching in a vehicle, syphoning of fuel and auto-refuelling, loading vehicles in the Osprey and C-130 and dropping them on a chute (amazing tactical opportunities!) along with a healthy number of additional weapons (MK12 SPR, L86, VSS and more), vehicles and skins. New features are being developed and added continuously by SilverShot.
  
• Gameplay: If you appreciate a good challenge like our group does you will like the minimalistic loadout (no weapons, no tools), the missing crosshairs, changing weather and view distance along with an existing day-night-cycle(24hrs) topped of by a healthy but friendly competition. Here you still have to work for your gear and be smart about the way you operate. Succeeding here actually has a value attached to it. And with the recently added base-building you can recover from lethal failure (does seem to happen every once in a while :D) at a faster pace.
  

I am sure I have forgotten to mention a ton of other just as important facts about the server but this is what I came up with off the top of my head. Most of us share the feeling that BSM is on of the best Taviana servers if not the best server out there for the kind of gameplay we like (and trust me we have looked thoroughly for we are very picky about the servers we play on) and we wanted to reach others with similar taste and invite them to play with us (or against us whatever your preference is ;)). Word of caution though if you prefer to start out kitted (AS50, Coyote, Map, Compass), with vehicles everywhere, crosshairs and always daytime you might want to steer clear of this one.

Also please be advised since this is my very own opinion I am sure other players on BSM like completely different things about the server. So consider this is my own promotional contribution.

I hope I have piqued your interest and will see you around the server soon!

UPDATE

Server is now running the standard Cherno map again due to the lack of development to the taviana map.

All the custom scripts are still active along with base building.
