Private Servers - Explanation

[[email protected] 216]

Please forgive my lack of understanding, but I'm hoping this thread will go some way to making things clearer for those who are confused like myself.

 

I see certain 'private hives', 'private servers', cropping up on the in-game server list in Standalone.

 

How did they come about? I mean less that 24 hours after what was supposed to be only public servers.

 

Are these legit?

Are they authorised by Rocket + Co?

If so, why? 

What powers do they have over server stuff(settings, spawns?)

Will they differ from the public hives?

What happens when the number of private servers reaches 100's?

What happens when people start moving from public to private servers?

Will they turn out like the mod did splitting the population onto different server's with different settings?

 

I know it is early dayz but there seems to be a lot of control happy folk out there.

 

I don't want this thread to be a flame war, so don't make it one. It's for answers not opinions.
