Is DayZ Epoch different on each server and what about difficulty?

[crazyandlazy 376]

I noticed a change in the interface[spawn location interface]. Is each server a totally new game?

 

Also what's with spawning with all the items you need for survival. Is the difficulty level that low throughout the game?

Epoch is what most people call easy mode since almost every server is focused on pvp and base building...giving you easy loot, extra loot, good starting gear, 1000+ vehicles, side missions and safezones  <_<  etc. to attract more players, actually the wrong type of player for what DayZ is supposed to be, they are more or less playing wasteland with zombies. I've seen a few players beeing relieved to find that there are also ( very very very ) few admins who want to make Epoch a good and hard experience similar to vanilla just with the features added from Epoch like building and things people expect to find in a survival environment.

Do you know an Epoch server that is similar to the difficulty level of vanilla?

There is a handful in the EU depending on what you want to play. Epoch vanilla or Epoch Napf some servers without safezones but with slight engagement rules considering shops. Just filter hardcore ( either by name or by filtering third person and all the otherr settings ) and epoch in DayZ commander.
