Villar 1 Posted May 12, 2012 What if they made it like Minecraft servers?Hold on, just hear me out.So you'll be able to keep your characters right? But your equipment is unique to each server.This makes more sense. It makes things more permanent too.I remember EONS ago I played on a /v/ minecraft server run by nossr50 and I stayed on that servers for months until he shut it down. Why?Because a community was built. Because it felt permanent. I couldn't just get up and leave without losing all my equipment, loot, and friends.The concept of creating a "safehaven area" would also be easier.World hopping and stealing loot would also be fixed this way.Although the concept of carrying your loot across servers is cool, it would be much more immersive and cooler if each server was unique.

terrvik 2409 Posted May 12, 2012 I think it would also be kind of annoying with a lot of different characters with only minor differences. Hard on the servers to...I always play the same server anyway? :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terox 2 Posted May 12, 2012 When the servers have their own database, (At the moment all the saved data is held on 1 central database) then each server will save only its data and the synching from one server to the other will most likely not be needed anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hard on the servers to...I always play the same server anyway? :)What do you mean?And yeah, that's great that you do play on the same server, however many people like to exploit this game by just spawning near some loot, then logging into a different server and steal it.

terrvik 2409 Posted May 12, 2012 No I mean, and im only speaking for myself here, that I wold probably forget what servers I got what equipment in. :) Kind of a minor thing, but anyhow! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same thing, your character is unique to whatever server you picked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim (DayZ) 0 Posted May 12, 2012 I think this would steer too far away from what makes the game great: the fact that it feels like a persistent world across all servers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stallownage 3 Posted May 12, 2012 Yeah I have to say I like the fact that characters are persistent across all servers. Sure, it can be exploited, but I'd find having a hundred different characters with different equipment and whatnot, an awful lot more irritating. If I can't get into my usual server, I'd still like to be able to use the equipment and set up I've spent time carefully building. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Kyrah 1110 Posted May 12, 2012 I actually like the current system where the dayz team impose server settings to server admins if they don't want to lose the right to host dayZ servers.I think it should remain up to the dayz team to decide what is acceptable and what is not.I Think it's a nice change from the "durr my server, my rules" mentality that you find on nearly every "host your own" games out there.

Jester. 6 Posted May 12, 2012 If you think there's admin abuse and hackers now, just wait until each server controls their own inventories. And I bid thee, a no thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
