Hosting own servers later? Standalone

[ChristmasLunch 52]

So I never played DayZ mod, but from what I understand - people hosted 'private hive' servers which operated on it's own databases. Separate ban list, separate admin staff and separate inventories.

Assuming that we will have private hive servers on the standalone, what are we expected to be able to do with them. Will we be able to make our own maps and have them on our server? Will we be able to create server mods and install them on our server? Will modding and map making be implemented at all?

 

Like I said, I've never played the mod, so I have literally no idea how servers worked before.

Feedback greatly appreciated, thanks :)

I would not expect to have our own servers (meaning in our own box rather than through a server provider) anytime soon.  Maybe not even until after Release (when the version number changes from 0.xxx to 1.xxx).  As for making our own maps I don't see us being able to do that for quite some time, and will more than likely be difficult due to no mission editor (as a means of making it harder for hackers to make new hacks).  I would imagine when it gets to a point when they feel they can release such things without giving hackers a tool to use against them they'll enable/release them.  Right now to speculate would probably just end up being the infamous 'I heard they were gonna do X Y & Z' bullshit, but I would imagine that time (day night cycle) could be adjusted, as well as loot tables.

I honestly don't see DayZ (SA) Origins or whatever happening anytime soon, at least not in any official (or unofficial) way.
