TyGuy (DayZ) 0 Posted July 16, 2012 Quick question. I noticed you can quit, and resume your characters status on a completely different server. I also find, as a noob (I've only played this game a week) going to Cherno or Elektro is almost a death sentence, being that I am more often than not, picked off by other players, never mind the high concentration of zombies. So, what keeps people from starting their own private server, password protecting it, and raiding towns with their friends to get supplies, then rejoining a more populated, public server, and competing for dominance? Is this a strategy? Or is it completely frowned upon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chr0mEBomberrr 1 Posted July 16, 2012 I am not an expert but to my knowledge you need strict permission from the DayZ crew to start up a server and they frown upon smaller let alone private ones due to the fact they help out less people and are easier to "cheat" on like you have stated, I think it is frowned upon as well.

Michaelvoodoo25 3120 Posted July 16, 2012 Well i hope for one when they release the final "product" they allow private servers then. I'd like to play with my friends our way!! (Team V's Team)Its not everyones cuppa tea as it is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
quatre 7 Posted July 16, 2012 You also can join a low populated server and raid it with your friends and get supplies ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herd 69 Posted July 16, 2012 I submitted two servers for passwording and having 3 slots -> noone cares. So yes, people do this and noone gives a shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ander (DayZ) 530 Posted July 16, 2012 Of course we care. IF we find out anyone is doing this, we'll issue a warning. If it persist we'll blacklist the server, and worst case DB ban your player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously noone can manage it by hand. Nor the players submitting, nor you banning Edited July 16, 2012 by Roboserg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TyGuy (DayZ) 0 Posted July 16, 2012 I figured as much. But as far as joining a lower populated server to gather assets safely, and with less probability of PVP, that is a legit strategy, yes? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
