Femme Fatale 49 Posted July 27, 2012 (edited) So friend has leased a 40 slot server he is following the strict rules and so forth, and mostly he did this to give his friends a place to play but obviously its open to anyone to join.However my concern is what if the server is full and we all decide to play??Can he set aside say 10 slots of the 40 for friends or is that break some rule we have yet to read about?

Femme Fatale 49 Posted July 27, 2012 So what exactly is the upside to renting a server? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orcworm 18 Posted July 28, 2012 You get somewhere to put your tents with the knowledge it'll be there the day after.That's about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lith 80 Posted July 28, 2012 Stable place to play. If you make a camp, you'll know you'll have a place to go home to for it versus a random server that could cancel any moment. You also get to say you helped grow DayZ into the mod it is now. It's almost no different then hosting a CS:S/TF2/BF3, etc server. I don't reserve slots on my game servers for my community. My belief is if you take care of the server and have a great place to play, people will donate (clan or not) to keep it open. No donation perks and no reserved slots and my dedi gets payed for in whole by donations :). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
