TakumoKatekari 0 Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) I've read all the rules for hosting a server, but what I really want to do is the following.Host from home on a fibre connection (70Mbps DL / 20Mbps UL)Host a small number of players (no more than 10)Host password protectedI know that all of these things violate the rules for an ``officially supported'' server, but I don't mind not having inventories synchronised with the master database or any of that (because I'm likely to play on this server exclusively).I just like being able to choose who I play with (because l really, really, hate bandits)If this is not possible I really hope its in the development roadmap because some people just like choosing who they play with, so that their game can be a retreat from stress (and not a cause, which being shot-on-sight by bandits is for me.)I hope I don't come across as condescending of DayZ or its developers, I really love your work, I just want to have more control over my own experience so I can enjoy DayZ as much as possible. :) Edited July 18, 2012 by TakumoKatekari Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orcworm 18 Posted July 18, 2012 Google "your own dayz server", I imagine discussions on private hive setups aren't allowed on the forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TakumoKatekari 0 Posted July 18, 2012 Google "your own dayz server", I imagine discussions on private hive setups aren't allowed on the forum.I wasn't talking about a "private hive"Just a single server so a few friends can play together without worrying about being bothered by people who seek to make our time less fun.

jskibo 143 Posted July 18, 2012 And as I said before, I'm not talking about it being part of the main DayZ players database, just a separate thing so I can play with a few friends and not get greif from bandits.That's called a private hive server.You can't get an instance ID from the team with what you laid out. You can do as you want with a private hive though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can do as you want with a private hive thoughWell I knew I couldn't get an Instance ID for this, I just wanted to know if it was possible, and what the developer's viewpoint is on it (although that said if they frown upon it I'd have serious concerns about the future of DayZ, as a game built on its community)But if its all possible, then that's great news for me.
