How to select a good official server?

[veltro 3]

Hello everyone,

 

I was fairly enthusiastic when I started playing DayZ a couple of weeks ago.

But now I must say that my enthusiasm is depleting because of hackers.

I have started playing on serveral "Official Servers" thinking that that would be the best way to start.

But now I am discovering that even official servers are flooded with hackers (every single one that I have tried).

During the first few days of playing I have already litterary been standing next to people spawining in boxes full of every item available in DayZ, helicopters, cars and what ellse...

 

So my question basically:

How do  I choose a server where there is much better involvement by admins to keep their servers clean from hackers and cheaters?

Which server to choose?

Is there a list?

The term "Official" doesn't seem to make any difference...

 

Thanks for your reply.

no 'official' means nothing. used to mean public hive, but yesterday i saw someone posted about their 'official' server which was dayz overwatch - not regular dayz - with 12934029354u092 vehicles and 03485703956830456 helicopters... just got to keep trying really dude, since my return to dayz in the last month or two i havent encountered one hacker on a public hive server, which fucking shocked me to say the least considering the state dayz was in with hackers before i took time out (due to lack of internet, wasn't a choice of my own)

It would be interesting to know which "Official Servers" you speak of.

Not gonna say its completely devoid of hackers but I try to keep a good eye on the logs and watch for suspicious activity. Duping, combat logging, ect. Population is low right now so would love to have some new players. Hope to see ya around. Public hive server and 3rd person is turned off (not everyone's cup of tea).
