Danop21 2 Posted July 27, 2012 Several friends and myself are looking for someone who has their own private server to explore the game and work together to slay zombies. I have 5 other friends to play with, so we could deffinately have some fire team action. Or fun death matches. We have skype, if you want to talk about it let me know.

Dancing.Russian.Man 1631 Posted July 27, 2012 Private servers are not allowed in DayZ. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drblodski 53 Posted July 27, 2012 There are other arma II missions you can play with pve or pvp or both. Dayz is meant to be played with as many other players a possible. Like 50 or more ideally. You will get tired of just killing zed and if there are only 10 of you on the server it gets a bit naff. If you find a large 50 man private server i dont see the point. The admins will be more inclined to cheat and you wont know what is fair and what is not. You are missing the whole point of the mod. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kosh 5 Posted July 27, 2012 Even if you did get on a private server there would be no point in setting up camps etc, because eventually the server will be blacklisted from the HIVE and your saved characters and tents will no longer be useable there. It's amazing (or just sad) how many admins never read the basic hosting rules and are locking their servers. It might be taking the DayZ team a bit longer to get through the servers because of the sheer number of new ones in the past few weeks, but once their turn is up the admins are going to feel pretty stupid for not reading a few basic rules.

daze23 549 Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) All i want is to play on a password protected server so people having their own servers dont come on to it fully geared then just kill everyone who has nothingbut what is your goal ultimately? would you do it if you couldn't leave that server with your gear? the game gets pretty boring without the threat of other players IMOedit: and a lot of the 'top-tier' gear is just overkill for killing zeds. if you're just killing zeds, you'd probably be better off with a winchester, rather than a m107 Edited July 27, 2012 by daze23 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VitaminK 6 Posted July 27, 2012 but what is your goal ultimately? would you do it if you couldn't leave that server with your gear? the game gets pretty boring without the threat of other players IMOPretty sure he didn't say he wasn't looking for PvP. Plus there are quite a few flaws with having ever server you join have the same gear/location, I dont think I need to get into that though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
syncmaster (DayZ) 63 Posted July 27, 2012 What is the point of soccer? The goals don't carry over to the next game.. Seems pretty boring IMO. :rolleyes:To actually answer OPs question, it can be done but it will not be an official server. You can't just get one and lock people out, but a private server can be done. Any problems, cars not spawning, etc..and you are on your own for support. Also as mentioned your progress only stays on that server. How do actually you do this? I don't know, but I'm sure google does. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He clearly mentions deathmatch and fire team stuff. That is PvP FYI. And do not make points and then say you cannot argue them - it is pointless. The world is flat. But i do not want to get into that right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But i do not want to get into that right now.Yea I meant to say he wasnt NOT looking for pvp... was typing too fast. Since it was your post that seemed to think he didnt want it...Also I really dont like server with 50~ people on them. I prefer 30 or less,usually because I'm alone and don't feel like getting rushed by a horde of zeds. Different stroke for different folks though.
