DirtyscumbagLith 270 Posted March 11, 2014 Couldn't find the topic, but interested in owning a server. Do you have complete control of it-....weather, time, etc? PS- BEWBS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caboose187 (DayZ) 3036 Posted March 11, 2014 You don't own or buy. You rent them. I couldn't find an actual list but here is the servers anyway Multiplay Vilayer Fragnet GamingDeluxe Gameservers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doctorwhy 157 Posted March 11, 2014 No not complete control1.) It's $70 USD a month2.) You can control Time only and MOTD stuffs3.) Server rules from the game makers say it can't be private so where you rent one won't allow you to be private.4.) If you try to make it NO KOS or kick people on entering for loot purposes you risk yourself having the IP banned if you're reported and losing your monthly money. I got mine from gameservers.com but cancelled because well at $70 a month it's expensive to have them dictate how you run your server and help test an alpha game.Totally not worth it to me...Might be for you though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't buy the servers here, you need to get them on websites of actual serverhosting companies. These are the hostingrules for Standalone Servers: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/158966-dayz-standalone-server-hosting-rules-server-reporting/ Edited March 11, 2014 by kichilron 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Igglas Cage 173 Posted March 11, 2014 I just don't see any benefits renting a server atm. You can kick and change stuff like the servername, motd, weather, time, etc.. Is that worth 70 bucks? I doubt it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leo Balzac 190 Posted March 11, 2014 yeah, $70/mo is a little steep for the Alpha, at least for me personally. When we get to Beta phase/Full Release I'll look back into it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PiLLZ 55 Posted March 11, 2014 i got one from gameservers.com last Friday, picked up the 40 slot for about $100, i have to tell you i could not be more happier with the purchase, if you have a team you are gonna love it, the controls are minimal at the moment but you have a spot to hang out all the time and it just feels right, i dont know how else to explain it. If you have the $$$ go ahead and get one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Dynamite 75 Posted March 11, 2014 The GSP thing makes no sense to me since the GSPs seem to tolerate corruption for the most part. I understand the restriction for alpha but I hope they open it up properly during release. Just kick them off the hive if they don't conform, immo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
