seifeler 52 Posted October 27, 2014 Elysium is an Private Shard for DayZ Standalone (1st person). It allows you to shape your own story and encourages you to communicate with the players you meet. We strive towards building a healthy community, without limiting your way to approach the game. Therefor we ask you to agree on some limited rules. Also, you have to apply for the whitelist by registering on our website. Our goal is to create one of the most atmospheric, exiting and entertaining DayZ servers. If the majority of players had a little more interest in approaching and communicating with the players they encounter, the DayZ experience will be even more exciting. That’s why we’d like to draw the attention of player who like a realistic encounter without getting shot everytime they meet someone. There will still be PVP, even KOS, since we don’t want to limit the players in their approach to the game. You can review all special features of our server on our website (see below). We want to bring together an international mix of players and (play-)styles. People who know the community is the foundation of the server and you sometimes have to take a two steps back to bring the community one step ahead. We envision this server to be fun for the hardcore players seeking a new and exciting way to play DayZ as well as players who only have a limited time available to play DayZ and wish their limited time to be especially rewarding. With only a limited set of rules, we would like to encourage you to communicate with the people you meet, rather than enforcing a strict “roleplaying” policy.

Valdenburg 200 Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) Nice concept i wish you good luck! My Question would be how you enforce all these rules? EDIT: For example As a bandit, you are required to wear a balaclava, clown, gas mask or any other kind of face protection including motorcycle helmet. We strongly advise neutrals and heroes not to wear those items, because you may be shot on sight by others. If you die or lose your face-protection, you are not allowed to KOS until you find and put on a new one. Edited October 27, 2014 by VanValdenburg 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seifeler 52 Posted October 27, 2014 My Question would be how you enforce all these rules? Hi VanValdenburg! That's a good question. Honestly: We don't! As a fellow admin, you know we don't have the tools to enforce any rule. So we are relying on the good spirit of our community and hope they follow the rules.Since it is not easy to get on the Elysium whitelist (people have to write a decent background story as well as they have to stand by for a quick interview via teamspeak) we hope being part of our community is valuable for our players. The 35 players I interviewed myself were all great people, who are sick of getting KOS'ed every five minutes. Even the bandits I spoke to think that way. That's why I am sure our community will prosper and people will stick to the rules. Of course there will be setbacks, but we will do our best to overcome them.

Hey Kassander thanks for the quick reply! I appreciate your work and also the whole concept. It sounds really great on paper.However i fear that this all will have no future because like you said - there is no way to enforce those rules. Even with Kill Logs you can not enforce the majority of your rules and i see no way you could in the somewhat near future.What you would need is the full scale of administration that is currently available for the DayZ MOD. And this will be most likely never available on Shards that are connected to the HIVE Database. But your concept is so special and your registration process so complicated/struggling that it could work for a very small playerbase without administration. Again i wish you good luck and we appreciate your work for the community! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seifeler 52 Posted October 27, 2014 I very much share your concerns. We had a lot of discussions about the ruleset in our admin team. We wanted to have as little rules as possible, while at the same time we wanted to overcome a few of the DayZ-SA limitations, like being unable to recognize other players. We decided to give it a try and see how it goes. If we fail, well... then at least we tried. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seifeler 52 Posted October 30, 2014 Due to the option to increase the player number, we open 20 more whitelist slots. At the moment, we have 55 whitelisted players and a total of 83 reserved slots for the whitelist.I am happy to announce that our players come from 17 different countries.Since our age restriction (18+) is in effect, our average age is 25.

I would also like to thank Kruger, who helped us out for some time.OUR PLAYERSWe have over a 150 players on the whitelist and altogether about 200 reserved slots (that includes the already whitelisted players).Our players come from 32 different nations (say “Hi” to our Australian and New Zealand players).Most players come from (TOP 5)1.

We already have seen quite a lot. We held four events, had one complete character wipe. The server went down for nearly two days because I forgot to pay the bill. First conflicts arose. New and exciting hot spots were created. To improve communication between players, we have set up a new forum.So let me invite you to contribute your ideas, stories, suggestions, events and hotspots, http://dayzelysium.com/bbforums/index.php. It uses the same login as the website.RULESET REWORKAfter the two months of the server being active we have gotten a lot of questions and suggestions about the ruleset. That’s why we decided to take this discussion to our new forums und hear what you have to say about our rules.You will find all relevant topics at:http://dayzelysium.com/bbforums/viewforum.php?f=16EVENTSFour events already took place in the last month and you can look forward to a little Christmas event next weekend.

See this discussion if you have any ideas about that:http://dayzelysium.com/bbforums/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=17THE FUTUREWe will further develop and customize our website and forums.We will continuously add players to the whitelist until we have about 250 reserved slots and, at the end, about 200 players whitelisted.
