character deleted

[nairz 3]

This is the second time this week I had to make a new character without being killed. What am i doing wrong?

New character? How?

You mean you spawn fresh on beach and have to start all over?

Don't join private hive servers

If you'r character wasn't getting deleted I would say you were doing something wrong... It's just the way the game is man, sometimes "unpredictable". I've had a lot of fun and much fewer hacker related deaths on a private hive, something you should look into.

Yes, exactly

[Drogur (DayZ) 169]

Yes, exactly

Then its because you jump between private and official servers.

As said above, you have probably joined a private hive server, make sureyou pick one that is public hive and you will almost certainly find your character is back where you left it.

I've only been using public hive servers and I've lost 4 sets of gear. 30+ hours of gameplay down the toilet. -1 customer.

Shame cuz its a good game. I play Eve Online, which in a way is the same. If people lost 6 years worth of kit to a server fu** up, there would be Hell to pay. It's not the stuff thats important, its the investment in TIME.
