Few Improvment suggestions.

I know there will be player buildings in the game but what would be even better is being able to cut wood and get boards...then use the boards with the hammer and add nails to board up windows and doors in houses and apartment blocks! It would be amazing having a group of 6 just creating a compound of buildings.
Also add a diary! Like the mod. But you could write in it and when you're killed it will be found on your body. It will add far more emotion to killing people. You could kill what looks like a bandit only to find out he's been helping people.
Also like the mod building sandbags lockable doors and what not and safes. hidden safes and camo nets.

I have seen some fragments of the dayZ development diary and I think someone opened the discussion of barricading.

If I recall well this is indeed an element they want to put in the game.

Your ideas are all part of future patches i presume.

You will be able to make whole structures,baricating would be the least you could do.

Maybe you will see player written books,who knows? :)

But barricade existing buildings in chernarus! Not your own player created buildings.
You can't write notes because apparently they're afraid of bad language and racist things...same with spray paint.
What do you expect in a post apocalyptic wasteland? Theres bound to be extreme groups of people.
