Server Abuse?

Recommended Posts

US 89 (Hosted by NWO) restarts a few times a day, at least. It always comes back up a few minutes later and it always rolls back 30min - 1 hour. I've lost things repeatedly (inside tents, cars). Since I started paying attention, it seems to coincide with deaths of NWO members. Is there a way they are "rolling back" the server to undo their loss of equipment?

This isn't the first time there have been complaints against NWO servers, being a European player though I have not personally played on their server. Its possible the restarts are scheduled, most servers restart at least 3 times a day for technical reasons but the keyword there is scheduled (they're usually announced in the MOTD or shortly before a restart.)

There has been accusations of some server admins restarting their servers after having camps raided and vehicles stolen before they can be saved by the players that raided their camp, this essentially rolls back the server returning the items and vehicles to their camp and dumping the raiders wherever they were before the restart. I cant comment on whether this has happened with the server you are talking about but there are wide spread occurrences of this currently going on so I wouldnt rule it out either. Hopefully an NWO admin is online and can discuss/resolve this with you shortly.

I'm one of the main server admins for NWO. The server restarts in the past few days have been to remove hacked items or take the server down to look a script logs and ban hackers that are kill scripting. I don't restart the server when our bases are raided, and I honestly haven't played DayZ for about 3 days now since I'm afraid to loose my gear to hackers.

Also, we have no way to my knowledge of rolling back the server, only the DayZ dev's can roll back anything since all information concerning gear is written to the main database and not the server itself.

If you do believe that the server was restarted to prevent a camp from being raided please contact me and I'll make sure to report whoever took the server down to our leader. Sorry that you think this, and please know that our server restarts have no malicious intent.
