Hardcore vs. Regular (Different characters) - Still a Thing?

[Gu1t4r_M4n 0]

I've been working on my character for just long enough where I'm comfortable with my items. I'm waiting a few days for my friend to get on before I venture anywhere else, should I die in the meantime and not be able to help him start; however, I still want to play DayZ, just not on this character.

 

I remember some time ago during the summer that I had two characters: one on a regular server and one on a hardcore server. Is that implementation still in DayZ? Can I have "two characters" still? And what connotes a hardcore server? Is it the "1st/3rd person" vs "1st person only" description? I don't want to end up deleting my character! It's happened many a time before... :P

 

Some of what I am talking about is touched on here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/169812-hardcore-vs-regular/ , but I couldn't find a more recent post pertaining to my question.

 

 

Any help would be appreciated. (And I am not looking for a description of other implementations in the hardcore server vs. those found in a regular one). Thanks!

1st person servers and 1pp/3pp servers are different hives and thus different characters. Switching won't hurt your characters. Also private servers have their own characters so you can still play whatever viewpoint you are used to if you are looking for a throw-away character for some quick fun

Cool, thanks!
