Server-Hoppers and how to fix

[Albatros (DayZ) 40]

Remove the Hive.

I'm not sure this actually gives any benefit, it just seems like a novelty allowing you to play ther same character over each server.

If every server wasn't connected to The Hive, there would be no server hoppers, encouraged team play and trust on each server, wire-fencing and tank-traps would actually work and I wouldn't get shot in inside the barracks because someone spawned behind me.

Also, this would fix combat logging slightly. Sure he'd still be able to just go offline for an hour, but he can't switch servers heal and then ghost behind you to switch back.

I'm saying this because just earlier, I went on a trip to the NWAF with 2 friends. Before we even went in, we checked the entire airfield, no players, no zombies. One of us with a sniper (our PDM, Permanently Designated Marksman, as sacriel42 would say) stayed behind in an overwatch, scanning for anything and reporting zombies spawning and other things.

Halfway to the barracks, my friend gets hit by a zombie and shatters his legs (hurr realism), so I give him morphine. My friend with me runs out of ammo on his PP-19 Bizon sd, so he switches out to the gun in his backpack. The Lee Enfield. I don't know what the fuck is wrong with him. I didn't notice until he shot a zombie. We were immediately rushed and sprinted into the barracks, just as we entered he passed out. I ran to the back of the barracks hallway checking all the rooms along the way, they were completely full of goodies.

I stood at the back of the hallway, mowing down zombies until they stopped coming, then ran up to my friend and epi-pened him since we were in a rush. Only I was cut short halfway through when I was unloaded on in the back, from some server hopping douchebag who killed me and my friend. Out PDM sniper was still watching the barracks, over chat he told me no one had gone in at all and zombies only spawned at it when we approached, confirming he was a server hopping cunt faced douchebag.

He waited to put a bullet into the cunts face as he left the barracks, only to watch the zombies dissapear as the server-hopper instead of walking out, left to a different server to fuck someone elses day up. We lost some pretty good things there, but I'm not mad. I'm dissapointed and and filled with pity. You'd have to be a really low and sick son-of-a-bitch to server-hop into the barracks and shoot a guy in the back giving his friend aid and then unload into an unconscious player.
