I currently have two loadable characters

Recommended Posts

So anyone else having the same issue where at one time you'll jump on a server you can be playing on character which you have gear for and weapons, then the next day you could jump in the same server or another and you'll be another character you started off with, with different gear etc

These are (disallowed) servers with private HIVE's or no HIVE at all. They'll have seperate character data.

If it was different servers I would say that one of them didn't have access to the hive and was being run through a private hive, but being on the same server is weird.

You sure it wasn't the same character just rolled back to an earlier time?

The HIVE basically is the official DayZ character database that tracks your character and is basis for persistence throughout several servers. If you join an official mod server, it connects to the HIVE, retrievs your character data and places your character into the hosted game.

There are servers that basically are running their own home-brew character database (server hive) to discourage people from server jumping / doing an ALT + F4 to exploit. Characters created and played on these servers only will be playable on these servers. In my opinion these servers should be avoided as they do not benefit the mod and highly increase the fragmentation of server flavours as well as confusing people who will miss the character persistence of DayZ.

Myself and a friend are playing on a server and we had to server hop due to low fps and hes on the server right now with all his gear from our home server and I am on the coast with nothing. I spawn on the coast with nothing on almost EVERY server.

How can this be a private hive? Why would he be able to transfer his items to the real hive and I can't? Makes no sense..
