Searching a player's name and finding their server?

[oled123@hotmail.co.uk 66]

If you've ever watched a livestream of DayZ you'll notice people always cover their names, my question is why? Can you find out which server somebody's playing on by just using their name besides obviously searching through all the servers for that person one by one?

DayZ Commander allows you to "add friend" it will display the user's server without the other user accepting the request

Exactly the answer I was looking for, I tried asking the same question in the Bandit subforum and just got told it wasn't possible, thanks you have my beans.

How does the DayZ Commander friend thing work? I add my friends name, but it just shows the name and nothing else after I've added it.

Stay in the Friends screen for a little bit after you have added the name, sometimes it can take a minute or two. The server should pop up on the right (in the friends screen) showing what server the person is in. If it is not working for that particular name then have a look at the server list and pick a random name, add it and wait, see if that works, then at least you know it is working and you may have the spelling wrong or caps on or off etc.

Have something happened because i have the server my friend is on active and got the exact spelling, but he still doesn't show up.

Also when having focus on the friends tab it says "CONNECTING" and "RECONNTING..." back and fort if that has anything to do with it.
