JimmyTheHand 0 Posted July 13, 2012 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hakultair 114 Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) These are (disallowed) servers with private HIVE's or no HIVE at all. They'll have seperate character data. Edited July 13, 2012 by Hakultair Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimmyTheHand 0 Posted July 13, 2012 Can be either NZ or ANZ ones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scene 36 Posted July 13, 2012 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?

Can you explain this HIVE and how and what I should look for with the serversThe 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.

yamaftw 0 Posted July 13, 2012 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..
