*OFFICIAL SERVER -HOW???*

Recommended Posts

Hello.

I'm trying to get a official/public server set up.  To no avail...

Server files were downloaded via Steam to a dedicated kick arse box rented from a reputable company.  Anyways, I can get the private shard version online and up and running, but how do I go about setting up the parameters for launching an 'OFFICIAL' Server.  Everything I try comes up as a private shard.  I googled the heck out of this and the only link I found to detail this was freaking broken https://dayz.com/downloads/Server_Hosting_Rules_Public.pdf

Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Yes, I'm interested in this as well as I'm working on getting a server setup for early in 2019.

I'm sure this is probably the busiest week in the past 5 years for the BI DayZ team, but at some point, getting those 404 error links fixed with updated server setup/requirements/etc. information would be much appreciated.

The server under the official tab are the official servers "maintained" by BI. It's not possible for a community server to appear on that list. 

Currently only GSPs have the option to host public shard servers which will possibly not change.

That's really saddening if you can only host community shard servers from a GSP because the costs are little extortionate.

I do see why because then BI can be in control of the comms but it would be nice to have an official statement about why it isn't going to happen.
