How did Rocket want "DayZ" pronounced phonetically?

[Roxin 11]

Days, or Day Zed, Mainly just "Days"

[dallas 5195]

DayZee as in Day Zeero.

[Optimist (DayZ) 6]

What about "Da - yez" any takers? No?

[Dankine 377]

We say Zed - Who thinks we say Zee?

The one I quoted in that post...

Everyone pronounces it as Day-Zee.

However I think Day-Zed makes more sence.

Zed's an acronym for zombie, and it's a zomie game right?

Doesn't look like acronym means what you think it does.

Well, me and my friends just call it out as 'DayZ'. So basically it's just 'Dayzss'. Can't explain it better than that. Are we really the only ones?

[kander 80]

Day-Zed.. especially as zeds are called zeds

[tinit 54]

English people pronounce the letter z as "ZED" not "ZEE" any English person pronouncing it the later of the two is an idiot ;)

also i have heard Rocket call it dayzeee as in the american way so i guessing the creator/dev no how to say there own game title

[kander 80]

Thinking about it, Rocket's a New Zealander, so the real question is whether it should be:

a.) Day Zuy

b.) Day Zid

Not a dig at our all-black cousins.. Your accent is the coolest. Anyone who is a fan of Flight of the Conchords knows this to be fact.

As some of you may know, we say the letter 'Z' differently in the UK/USA to those in NZ.

We pronounce 'Z' phonetically as "zee", whereas in New Zealand it's "Zed".

So did Rocket - a New Zealander - intend for the game to be pronounced "Dayzee" or "Dayzed"?

Is this important? Not at all.

Does he care? Probably not.

But I was curious.

its funny because people from the UK pronounce it Z 'Zed' too

[Destillated 2]

USA use almost zee, europe zed and some spell it like "zest"

zed sounds better for me and also, when you spell alphabet, dont you spell it zed? x y ZED, not x y ZEE ?

...or...just call it daisy or day zombie as it was ment for
