Where is this game going?

[U.B.C.S. Hops 128]

Dayz is a great idea for a video game, the zombie post-apocalyptic world combined with the survival aspects that have been incorporated into this game/mod make a great combination. This game has great great potential and I would love to see it succeed. But as a game becomes more popular more players hear of it and decide to try it themselves which is great for the mod in general speaking.

But everyone has their own idea of "fun" in a game. Many of which are conflicting with others ideas of "fun" in a game. Some players for example want a more casual experience while others want a more hardcore experience. This leaves game developers to decide which player group they want to please and make a game for, because it is often very hard if not impossible to make a game that satisfies both parties. This is good though and is why we have a variety of video games and genres. But as a game is just starting out such as Dayz and is open to all types of players and does not yet have a set player type in mind the game oftenly comes under fire from many player types saying where the game should go, what should be added/removed etc. This turns most suggestions for a game into a war of casual players, often teased as carebears vs. more hardcore players.

Which leads me to my question, where is this game going? Has rocket said which group this mod is going to be tailored for? Or does he have more a of a set vision in mind for this mod?

Please, no flame. I just want to have a calm discussion on this. (I know that doesn't happen very often on the internet but can we try?)

Rocket has said that he wants the game "tailored" for all play types.

You will get a good feel for this by watching interviews with rocket, as well as reading his posts. I personally love the direction he wants to go, me commenting further on that would be fairly irrelevant, its best to go read/watch it all for yourself.
