Phantra (DayZ) 5 Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) Fellow survivors and bandits,Having run a public server for a very short amount of time it has become quickly apparent that due to the state of hacking/cheating/scripting and the total lack of server management ability provided, playing in the public hive has become something you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy.Following in the footsteps of Guidez, a core group of around 7 of us invite you to play on our private hive server over at http://dayz-newcastle.co.uk.Away from the main hive, some benefits of joining us are:- Whitelist based access from your unique GUID- The ability to perform "Rollbacks" on specific aspects of the hive incase of any hacker related issues- A freshly launched and friendly community.- Battleeye and anti-cheat enabled, meaning Global Banning is still a reality.- Starting afresh with others just looking to play legitimately.Instructions on how to get whitelisted can be found here: HereA list of frequently asked questions: HereOur dedicated server is run in a Birmingham Datacenter with the following game configuration:Timezone: GMT-6Difficulty: Veteran3DP: OnCH: OffThere are no clans, however we encourage people who are wanting to set them up to do so, if you form a clan we can give you a private section on our forums for you to organise things such as raids, trade kit etc.We are a freshly launching private server so everyone is starting in the same boat, we hope to see some of you soon!- Phantrahttp://dayz-newcastle.co.uk Edited September 10, 2012 by Phantra 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeordieMarv 293 Posted September 10, 2012 Well being a Geordie i feel compelled to try this server out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phantra (DayZ) 5 Posted September 10, 2012 Please do, we don't cater exclusively to Geordies but the 7 founders are all from Newcastle and we can't agree on the colour of...youknowwhat.. so dayz-newcastle was the logical route to go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeordieMarv 293 Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) :)is it just a case of connecting?Or do i have to be added to a list or something to be able to join your server?Edit - Nevermind. Saw that i have to ask to be added to your list. I will do this at somepoint in the next hour or so on your forums.I'm already a member of a clan myself, so not looking to join up. Just to play and have a laugh with some of my "own kind" :P Edited September 10, 2012 by GeordieMarv Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phantra (DayZ) 5 Posted September 10, 2012 N1 m8 ;)Stockton here but still from the NE ;)Hey, its all good in our book!We registered dayz-newcastle.co.uk on account of the fact we're from newcastle, but it's in no way exclusive to people from the area, we're really looking forward to having people from all over the place come play.. It's been a good night so far - Elektro is a killzone apparently.. have no intention of going down there! (scaredy cat) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D3nty 114 Posted September 11, 2012 I got killed :*( harsh but fair killings transpiring on DayZ Newcastle last night, group of 4 vigilantes roaming about..I woke up and was the only person online for a few hours so i decided it was a good time to hit up stary and NWAF got myself some goodies :DOn a side note would the server admins think about enabling global text chat? since it only has a small pop at the moment it would be really nice to talk to other people :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

petehanna29@googlemail.com 1 Posted September 14, 2012 Hey there. This all sounds great. I always play with a mate but lately we've got fed up with the hacker teleporting etc. on the public hive. Seems unavoidable now. Really annoying when you've played 3 or 4 days straight to get an M14 and some frags and all of a sudden you're on an island miles out to sea! (happened last night) lolI've read the information on your website and all seems straight forward.Just wanted to ask how many players do you get normally in the evenings? We're UK also so normally play between 8pm and 12am about 4 evenings a week plus the odd daytime session.So if you're happy to have another 2 genuine, honest but sometimes murderous ;-) UK survivors then we'd love to join Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
