Sever clean up

[punisher_1 3]

Ever notice most of the servers are different?

- Different version of the game

- Different version of Arma 2 BETA versions

- Locked severs

- Severs with no zombies and no loot

- Servers with no zombies and some loot

- Severs with text, say version 1.7 but use 1.6 you don't know until you log in.

- Servers that you can never connect to.

- Severs you load into and get kicked.

It seems the DayZ staff is picky about who they allow to run the game but there is no consistency when you connect. It's a crap shoot and takes allot of time mucking about to find a decent server.

Should this be sorted out so everyone can get online faster and more efficiently.

Some people still choose to use 1.6 because of the issues with 1.7

- Different version of Arma 2 BETA versions

This is just some server owners not updating due to the frequent releases

- Locked severs

- Severs with no zombies and no loot

known issue thats being sorted.

[b']this pisses me off, server admins need to sort out their shit.

- Servers that you can never connect to.

Check your router firewall setup

Couple of things that *should* be sorted with priority is server naming. There needs to be some standard when it comes to the name layout. I noticed recently a lot of servers shortened the start of the name, presumably so they can fit more crap in about who hosts the server. Save it for the MOTD if you HAVE to have people know who's hosting.

something like: DayZ - UK1 [Veteran] [3rd=0] [tags=0] [uTC] [hostname@hostservice.com] dayzmod.com

At the moment filtering is difficult because theres UK# and UK # etc. pointless and difficult to use.

I've also wondered why theres no SVN type setup that automatically updates server hive versions. Theres nothing more irritating than finding a server with a good ping that connects quickly, only to find its not updated 3 days after the hive update.
