Character not persistent and a few misc questions

[chaoseffect 18]

I just got back into Dayz after a long break and now I'm finding an issue I never had before: My characters don't seem to persist among all hive servers... at least I think they are all hive servers as they are not hidden when I select "Hide Unofficial" in Dayz Commander. The only thing I can think of is that two of the servers were apparently French (FR # was how they started), one was US, and one had [sBRF]; the two FR servers were consistent, but the other two prompted new character generation. They are all supposed to be non-private hive servers though which confuses me. Anyone else have similar issues?

 

Also I had a few misc questions that I thought I would include here instead of starting another topic:

 

1. Are non-private hive servers becoming extinct or is there an issue with Dayz Commander? It searches through like 3600 servers and comes up with a list of about a dozen official, currently day servers. That doesn't seem right.

 

2. I saw a huge second block of apartment buildings on the north east side of Cherno next to a downed airliner... is that vanilla? Asking because if it's not then it may explain some of the weird inconsistency issues I'm having with my characters.  If that is vanilla, does that airliner spawn loot?

There is no longer a public hive for Dayz Mod, that said the only time you will find your character on multiple servers is if you locate a large community with multi servers that have shared databases.  Commander is pretty much obsolete after gamespy shut down.  I would suggest finding a decent community and just run Dayz mod through steam with manual launch parameters.
