WalkerDown (DayZ) 296 Posted July 3, 2012 So, before the "local" HIVE servers where used to play DayZ offline (LAN), but now it seems that we have communities running their own private HIVE servers.Apparently then you can run multiple characters: one on the official HIVE, plus many others on each private HIVE server.Techinically this shouldn't affect you main (official) character progression, since they doesn't communicate, but i'm asking for a confirmation here to the devs.Are those servers ok to play on? (they are identified with "ALT.HIVE" or tags like that)... they are pretty useful when the official HIVE is offline too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vipeax 318 Posted July 3, 2012 Can't stop someone from playing there, but don't come here asking for anything related to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WalkerDown (DayZ) 296 Posted July 3, 2012 This lead me to the other question: is there a way to distinguish em beside the server name? I'm asking because i smell that more than one joined there to find their character reset on the "beach".. while in fact they are not! They are there because it's just a new HIVE where their character doesn't exists (yet).Am i wrong? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toiletguy 3 Posted July 3, 2012 Look for @stats or something else which doesn't belong along with normal servers. There should be only like @dayz, @hive Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WalkerDown (DayZ) 296 Posted July 3, 2012 Look for @stats or something else which doesn't belong along with normal servers. There should be only like @dayz' date=' @hive[/quote']Don't think so.. if the "EU-BIGBO" is an "unofficial" server.. it both has: @dayz;@hive in the Expansions: box. While there's another that should be official, but it has "@hive2" ... i'm confused. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try to compare those unofficials with official one. Official servers are using like US 1 NZ 1 etc, while unofficial would just be random name like Dayz RPG XXXX.
