There's more to Chernarus than the items found in-game. And I mentioned geography above.

 

It doesn't bother me at all, I don't recall ever saying that.

 

I'm saying Chernarus =/= Russia. Chernarus only = Chernarus, not anywhere else. Because it's fictional. Just like Tatooine. Just like Narnia. Just like Middle Earth.

Sobor, nadezhdino, komarovo etc are all real places set in russia and rest of eastern europe, So pls tell me how its fictional like mordor

You mean they took names of cities and applied them to other, fictional, cities?

 

Show me on the earth, the real Earth, where these countries are...

 

Show me the cities, named Novigrad and Chernogorsk... located in a country called Chernarus.

 

 

I'll wait.

So you are saying names of towns found in dayz are purely fictional, and they DO NOT exist in real life just like mordor doesnt exist

I'm saying the names were taken from reality, and applied to different and separate fictional locations, which aren't real.

 

If I were to suddenly call Moscow, New York City, does that make it real?

 

Chernogorsk, in a country called Chernarus, along a sea called the Green Sea, bordering a country called Takistan... does... not... exist.

 

It's fictional. That's all I'll say, you can keep thinking... whatever it is that you're thinking. I will have no further part in it.

 waking up in an area surrounded by things that are totally unfamiliar to you adds to the fear factor. I mean would you rather wake up in some random town in america and try to find the nearest city... or a random town in japan where no one speaks english

So the name cheraurus and the borders of the map are fictional, but towns and items and even terrain is based on real life, can we agree on that?
