MichealKenny 0 Posted July 9, 2012 Hypothetically, If I were to run a medium sized gaming community, could I password protect a server and have a public post on the gaming communities forum giving the password to both members and non-members? even if I were to say in the server name "password available at [forum address]"?

ynefel 38 Posted July 9, 2012 What would be the point of passwording it then? Either way, DayZ regs clearly state no server passwording.Also, redirecting someone to a URL seems a little suspicious to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MichealKenny 0 Posted July 9, 2012 Just an idea I had to encourage the players on the server to join the community and limit server hoppers a bit, it would also discourage hackers slightly "why join this server when I could join another with less hassle?" anyway, I don't run a gaming community, just thought it would be a cool way to slightly restrict server access while hopefully abiding by the rules.

shawnbayer75 83 Posted July 9, 2012 It is an interesting thought but at the current time the answer is no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sbats 3 Posted July 9, 2012 If you implemented the password strategy in this way it could also paint a target on your back for hackers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
