Characters and Gameplay to be Server Side only sometime?

[johnbello 1]

Hello.

The thread title might be a bit confusing, but i hope you get what i mean.

Some guy, said he's playing since months now, told me that it is planned to make everything server side only as soon as the game hits beta or beyond.

Like, no hive that saves player positions, characters and stuff everywhere and kinda connects all servers together...

Every server would have it´s own world, but it would probably support up to 200 players, more zeds and stuff.

This would be done to fix several issues like serverhopping or relogging behind players etc..

Is this actually true? I don't really belive him, because this makes no sense at all imo.

The hive feature that emulates this kind of mmo experience is something that makes dayz what it is, and serverhopping and these issues i mentioned should be fixed ofcourse, but not like this.

So does anyone know or have a link or something to some official statement about this?

I have read nothing about them saying that they would make servers like that.

I have read that they might one day intend Day-Z to have a single player experience, but as Day-Z is setup right now. Its just not possible without opening up a whole can of worms.

It just sounds like wishful thinking to me, Nice and fun, but wishful thinking.

Hey again.

So, i´d like to kinda bump this thread while hoping to get some official answer to the initial question.

The thing is, there are some 'Private' servers out there, that are not connected to the hive, and my mates all start to play on these players more and more often.

Ofcourse the reason is simple, there are no serverhoppers and to get real good gear on this server you have to invest some time...

But while i understand and totally like the "no serverhoppers" point here, i just don't like the way this is heading.

So while i am against playing on such private no-hive servers there are discussions coming up now and then about if or if not it is - or even was - intended to be like that.

To be like, Every Server has it´s own database and no hive connection..

All i want is some official comment about this to settle these arguments and discussions.
