What Happened:

We stumbled across there camp, with a URAL and a Jeep, FULLY geared with everything you can possibly think of. My friend and I who were on, got in them after switching out some of our gear and started to drive away to our camp. We then got the no received message for 20 seconds and were then promptly booted out. We had there boat, and all there gear. We were online for 31 minutes, and 26 or so minutes respectively. I shall attach images, and a link to all the images. We have fraps recordings. Below are the pictures, i wont put them in any order but study them, and see the times we were on, the times the two admins were on (over two hours together) and then right when we get everything the server goes down. it's been down for over an hour now, not able to find it by ip or by there server name. There hosts has TONS of complaints on this forums about random kicking and abuse, and I'm s ick of admins abusing there power. Please do something about this, We've taken more then enough time to gather evidence and pictures to shut it down and put them on the black list.

Couldn't that have just been a coincidence that you found them shortly before a regular restart? Down for two hours is a little suspicious though.

No message received is usually indicative of a server crash, not a manual shutdown. A manual shutdown normally just says Session Lost.

It's suspicious that it stayed down so long, though. Especially seeing as you say the admins were online when the server went offline.

I see the server went down but I'm not sure you have any evidence of the admins cheating. Our admins have been accused of doing the same thing when I have been personally aware the claims were false. You may need more to convince people.

[curioussquirrel 5]

I'll be checking it throughout the night. All the proof is in the pictures. That and other complaints about the other two servers they run. I mean look at the times of it all. It's to perfect. They can't even say we were doing something stupid like server hopping because we were there for 30 minutes. Truth be told I found the boartyesterday night during another large 40 tent raid, but was waiting for my friend to get on as we are fully geared.  You see my wife plays and we were being very careful. We figured there had to be a camp there since the boat was there for over 24 hours and those same two people were playing. We go explore and low and behold two amazing vehicles. 10 minutes later server completely shut down. If you look on there server restart logs, they've been doing it a lot. Bust usually only lasts 30 minutes or so. We must of really made them upset as it's been down for a couple hours and probably the rest of the night. If it does come back up, I have a team including my wife and we'll raid it and destroy it all and then save it. I have fraps ready, I'm very determined to get server admins like this away from ruining the community.  Hopefully others see the proof here. I hope they come and open the server with a lock, I'll fraps it all and hopefully have it blacklisted.

I was there. Besides something is up when you have ppl on this forum complaing about all 3 of the servers they host, how many times they shut it down, all of em. And the fact they did it a few mins after the vehicles were found. And its still dead. Admins cant get mad at innocent players who happen upon stuff.

The 'No message received' screen indicates a server restarting via program. If it is a HFB server or any other supplier then you will get the 'No message received' screen leading to a 'Session lost' screen eventually.

Going down for two hours without prior notice is suspicious though.

However, playing devil's advocate here you could potentially argue that the maintenance was needed because of anything else happening. If hacking was going on at the same time they may have restarted the server and taken it down to dig through some logs. Their name has changed several times in the last few days so they probably restarted it to follow the Day Z naming convention.

Until we hear both sides we wont know, but those images show the restart times and server events. Not much to convict anyone of abuse.

[ArmStrong_Alchemist 0]

Thats a lot of restart and Sooooo soon after we found the vehicles, like within 5 mins, no warning just saw some messages on the screen and then it was closed. Plus others have complained. Besides for it to be down long usually would mean they shut it down rather than the system.

[curioussquirrel 5]

I really wish I recorded all of the events, however it happend so fast I didn't think of it nor did I have fraps running in the background. Will never make that mistake again. There only 5 people online at the time of this. Myself, my good friend, my wife who was beside me, on random player, and the two admins. I'm currently looking at how to prove that. I'm looking forward to getting on, only to find there camp moved. We will find it again, but this time just destroy it with the 14 satchel charges and 5 as50s, all the coyote packs, etc. I suppose my fun will come from hunting it down, recording everything, then having them restart the server yet again. But this time I'll have more proof. Yes I've found more day z end game content. Winning.   :-D

Also note there other two servers are up and running fine. Has now been three hours, server is still not up.

[Gogster (DayZ) 626]

Just go somewhere else.

Sheesh.

[curioussquirrel 5]

Why would I go somewhere else, and leave the problem there? Why let someone cheat, are you saying you don't car as long as it doesn't affect you? That's a very smart way of loosing the community as a whole due to No one giving a crap about What first on as long as they're happy camping in Cherno.

UPDATE: There entire camp, vehicles, boat, etc is all home. They've moved it while they were in there alone. This is 100% wrong .

Cheat, cheat by harvesting a few weapons or vehicles? Seriously son how long have you been involved in on-line gaming if you think this is cheating.

All I am saying is go somewhere else. It's like the party you can't get into, are you going to continue banging on the door or calling your parents cos they won't let you in or are you going to go and do something else?

I don't agree with them locking the server, but then I don't really care that much if they do.

Get some shagging perspective.

I just logged on to this server and it said Garet Jax has been killed and showed someone named Ted Williams with 66 murders, it respawned me in the Wilderness with no gear at all including your basic start-up items and no trees or anything in every direction. I've never had this happen before. I had camped out at NW Airfield last night in a safe spot. I just logged into a different server and I have all of my gear now, but am at the respawn point for Elektrozavodsk. There was one other player on with this guy and he had 22 murders. I definately am not going there again, but it should be looked into

[curioussquirrel 5]

Maybe you need to learn to read "son". ADMIN abuse is very serious and puts a sour taste in new players mouths. It is a form of cheating, now one cares if there hoarding. I love stealing from them and re-supplying my own camp for my friends. The issue is that I found there's, and took it all. They got but hurt and abused powers, shut server down, moved it all, then act like nothing happened. As a member of this community, and an alpha tester it's our role to test, and report bugs and or abusing admins/hackers.

Also, you said "Like a party I can't get into"? What does that have do do with it. It's a PUBLIC HIVE SERVER. You realize, that's like saying i'm not allowed to go into the library. It's not that I want to play in that server, it's the fact they can use it to get gear, then come into MY server or someone elses without a care in the world with there supposiby legit gear, when it's not. You're part of the problem when you think like that.

[curioussquirrel 5]

Back on topic. One again we've found the vehicles, my wife, friend, and I got them, brought them to our camp transfered everything and are in the process of looking for anything else. I have the majority of it recorded on fraps, including another lost communication. This time however the server was back up shortly, and the vehicles were where we saved them 8k meters away. All I can say is thank you, hopefully if indeed it was admin abuse, this thread will host some of the bad events. Better yet, we were mistaken and it just happened to restart the perfect time we stole the vehicles on separate days. Either way, we have all of it now and are considering moving to another server to set up base because of all the problems we've experienced in this server. If anyone has problems with this server, please compile it here as a record to keep the forms organized.

Thanks! Mike

It happens mate.

A guy gave me a full set of gear yesterday (Fab chap!) and as he put down his coyote backpack the server timed out. I was pissed at the time thinking it could not be a coincidence but eventually realized that was just the case.

Deep breath, move on.

Good to see you are on track of this and making sure that if they are abusing their powers you make sure they have suitable repercussions.

This is Chris (Crit in DayZ) and I am one of two admins on server 935. I would like to start off by first stating that we do not own a camp on our server, other than some pedal bikes. We had a helicopter a few days ago and it was stolen from us, that's it! It's truly amazing how some DayZ players can get so unbelievably butthurt that they feel the need to concoct some story in their mind that justifies them dying and their right to be angry. Also, YOU do not pay or contribute to the server so coming to these forums and acting as if you are entitled to anything at all is absolutely inane. We pride ourselves on providing a lag-free and mostly hacker-free environment, so these kind of comments are just the sort of things that would make me cancel a server. Good to know there's a Ural floating around.

P.S. the "proof" you have isn't "proof" at all. I'm pretty sure you already knew that though, or you're 16.

**EDIT: I noticed in your original post that you seem to think [uRF] is administrating our server. I don't know who these people are and they do not have admin privileges on my server. Where are you getting any of your information?**

Also note there other two servers are up and running fine. Has now been three hours, server is still not up.

Two other servers? How aspie can you possibly be? We have one server and I have no idea where you've come up with the idea that we have more. There is only one other admin other than me and he only plays while I am on so I can assure you that these accusations are completely inaccurate. You people are exactly the niche part of this community that I cannot stand.

P.S. I'm going to be redundant to prove a point. WE DO NOT HAVE A CAMP. I have not taken anything from you, we have not moved any vehicles. Get over yourself.

If you read my first final comment, you'd see I wrote either admin abuse or very bad timing, it still seems very odd. You are hosting a public hive server, I have every right to comment how I choose to. If you used the search function on Google, or the forums, you'd see all the Complaints about your server and the amount of hackers in it by various people. If you want to close the server, then who's the actual but "hurt one", as you called it. Anyway, have a nice day. You can say all you like in your defence, doesn't really matter. We as a community have to try to close down servers that are used to take away from the game, if I was mistaken then I apologize. Truth be told no one can be 100% correct all the time. Later Gator
