Wtf has happened?

So, I haven't played for a month because I was on holidays. Today I updated DayZ to 1.7.2.4 and downloaded the latest beta patch. As I opened the game I noticed immediately that more then half of the servers disappeared: almost all atlantas, dallas, seattle. Then it took me about 8 minutes to join in a server, when, before my leaving, it took me about 1 minute without problems. I ran to elektro, killed a guy with: NVGs, RangeFinder, M4SD, then logged out because I had to go out. When I relogged I respawned on the coast, with 1 Bandit Kill (the guy before) but without any equipment.

What did I miss?

Perhaps the fact we're on 1.7.2.5 and not 1.7.2.4?

Rocket said to wait for the servers to be available. I've installed the 1.7.2.5 but still the same problems (no servers, spawning on the coast). And I see that other people are having same problems too

You can lose new equipment when dc'ing too fast, and the beach-spawning is only as of 2 hours ago..

Yeah alot of the Atlanta servers have disappeared - Which is sad, I loved ATL 97. Best USA server out there.

Hackers have been washing against the community like waves on rocks, it has started to wear all of us down, especially the server hosters.

I didn't understand this sentence D:

What don't you understand? You were asking about being spawned on the beach, and I said that it was only occurring to me for the past 2 hours. But apparently it happens when you close ArmA while being stuck in "loading" and join an other server.
