The name: DayZ

Recommended Posts

What did you think of the name DayZ when you first saw it?

I actually thought i stood for Day Zero, although it means Day Zombie? (not sure)

Or is there actually no real word for the Z part. Anyway, i thought Day Zero because it also kind of makes sense, it sounds like a subtle reference to the survival aspect.

(Also the arma thing that counts the days or something always says Day 0 :D.) And yes this might be a bit of a stupid thread.

Your first assumption is the correct one I believe.

Day Zero.

It's the first thing you see on a fresh login. It's where you start at, day zero.

I always thought it was DayZ (like Days), and kinda a Z for zombie replacing the S.

Its only recently when I ask my friends "Wanna play Dayz?", Dude its Day-Z

I actually think DayZ doesn't have only one meaning, the name probably whatever meaning we want to give it.

I like to think : Day Z is the "last day" for apocalypse meaning.
