Removing Locked Servers

[Korathias 20]

As per the topic I was wondering if there was a way to remove locked servers from the Hive for the duration they where locked.

The reason for this is that I have noticed a trend where admins will lock a server with there friends and do what ever they want on the server, this could be for only one reason and that is to farm good gear and vehicles because the only people that should be doing server side testing is rockets team.

Proof is the screenies

We will begin port blocking such servers.

Along with servers who are underperforming - such as are not conducting scheduled restarts (for those that have not given us updated RDP details so we can't do it ourselves.

All I can is wow that was fast and thank you for the response.

DE8 was locked to allow people to get into the game faster after a restart. 5 people at once is better than 20 people all trying at the same time.

Niiiiiiiiiice!

Now you jackass admins can't sit in your locked servers taking all the good loot.

Today is a good day.

US9 is still passworded? So much for "testing". Thanks for getting on this, Rocket.

I just want to say one thing after digging through the forums, for about an hour and reading all the posts.

A lot of people seem to have the pay to win mentality (I pay money thus I have more rights). That is wrong, if you want to buy a server it should be for the benefit of this mod and the community not so you can have fun with your close net friends on a closed server, for the simple reason that it can be abused.

I am sure one day this mod will have a co-op, where its only you and some friends in a single player styling, but at the moment everything you do affects the community as a whole and thus it is not acceptable.

We all play of a main Hive (central computer that feeds information) thus if you lock your server you restrict play and abuse a system put in place to help the community. That is why I suggested a removal from the Hive while your server is locked as in what BF3 does. In BF3 if you lock a server all points gathered on it does not count towards your overall score. This can be used for the Hive in the sense; if your server is locked it doesn't save until it is unlocked and thus people can lock their server to their hearts content, but not affect the community by server hopping or giving themselves an advantage, again only if there is an intent to abuse the system.

Hence the reason I host a server, for the benefit of the whole DayZ community. If I want to play on my server, I wait, just like everybody else has to. I don't kick for friends, I dont kick for members, I don't kick for donators either. Could be the reason I haven't received any donations lol

You're an admirable server host, Lofty.

Stick with it! Good things come to those who wait. Enter mashing is the best part of the mod tbh.
