rick808 9 Posted July 6, 2013 What do you guys think is the best amount of players to have the best day z experience?I tend to play in full 50 man servers, but i'm thinking there is benefits of playing in slightly lower populated servers.Like being able to set up camps easier without them getting raided so easy?please let me know what is you ideal amount of players, and which map.

enforcer1975 1111 Posted July 6, 2013 Too many people bunch up in the big towns anyway ( Cherno and Elektro ). But i know what you mean, if there are too many people around it's heavy to breath with all the lead flying around...You don't have a feel of the aftermath of an apocalype like you get in the movies when you see empty streets because where zombies or whatever monster would lurk around a corner there could also be a player or a bunch of players. If the important towns weren't so important they would spread more, most of the time 90% of the players where at Cherno or Elektro, 9% at Stary/Novy and the 1% would be either running around with no goal or be in Berezino. Since Chernarus is based on the Czech republic the latest info suggests a population density around 130/km². Maybe less than 5% of the people would have survived the effects and aftermath of the DayZ virus which would be aroun 7/km² which would be far beyond 1000 survivors. No server would be able to hold so many players. How many of those survivors would have moved away by now? Maybe 75% which still leaves a good anount of population.IMO Chernarus is still to small to let the player experience the aftermath of an apocalype even with only 32 players running around because you know where most of them will be most of the time. In a warfare or evolution this would be below minimum but this and that are two different game types. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluxley 2228 Posted July 6, 2013 One of the things that worries me about the standalone is the potential 150 players per server, i just dont think chernarus is big enough to handle that many without it being a constant deathmatch, its bad enough in the mod with 50-60 players.But hopefully the new locations and extra emphasis on survival will balance this out.

wild_man 4442 Posted July 6, 2013 The best amount is as many as can possibly fit in one server. When I look for a server I look for 2 things.1- NO PvP/KoS!!!2- 30 players+then I find a gun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
