good tent locations?

When I did this (seems logical) those servers had such low population THEY CLOSED.

best way to UNRECOVERABLY lose all your gear is to have the admin decide it's not worth having a server anymore because nobody's playing on it.

You're better off on a moderately populated server, or one you help support $$$ - than a random empty one.

I'm just pissed because it's happened to 4 servers I've placed tents on so far.

I even wrote a limerick.

Highspiral is getting quite bent

regarding the stuff in his tent

He fills it with loot

and what soon follows suit...

THAT admin stops paying his rent >:(

In the limericks trhread: http://dayzmod.com/f..._80#entry865670

Learn to read... He didn't say anything about placing a tent there. He said go gear up on a low pop server. No tent needed.

Here are some great places NOT to place tents:

• intersections between longtitude and latitude
  
• the top of a hill
  
• in the open
  
• castles
  
• next to obvious points of interest
  
• under special map icons
  
• the end of a road
  
• inside

Actually, Maniacmike who I was responding to answered quite amicably, agreed that this has happened to him before as well, and told me to "just keep plugging away mate"

Apparently he didn't disagree with my statement, and was even encouraging...

Thanks Maniacmike - I have some better "Gear up" servers and am contributing to one to enhance it's "staying power"

aren't tents placed in trees useless? because you can see them from far away as the foliage (branches and stuff) disappears.. or is that not always the case?

i like to place the tricky tents near the coast, sometimes they are so tricky even i cant access them :D

but i think tents are overrated because it has become that easy to at least mid-gear up on a low pop server. crouch walking? plz...
