61,000 in the last 24 hours...

[merrfack 90]

I noticed the number of players keeps going down in the last 24 hours. I understand the weekend is over and thats where the peak will be. But could this also be from BE doing there job and banning hackers? I honestly have been seeing less and less of them.... maybe they finally got bored. Just curious to see what people think, maybe its just people waiting on the stand alone...

More maps (Lingor, Utes, Takistan, Fallujah) = less players on the official Chernarus which is where the stats come from.

Ahh yes, that totally makes since! I didn't even consider that.

Maps (as DemonGroover said) Battleye clamp downs, kids going back to school... im still happily surprised to see 61,000 players playing in the last 24 hours, still not short on anyone to find!

I killed a hacker a few days ago but I haven't seen any since.

http://arma2.swec.se/game/statistics gives real stats (including "unofficial"), and the game has been crashing and burning. DayZ is in alpha, ARMA IS NOT. Game is broken, bugged, and hacked, mod delivers no new features for months on end. Pair that with fundamental flaws in design and you get players moving on.

Edit: to your point, yea once everyone bails on the game, hackers will get bored trolling the 20k remaining fanboys.

^ well I have not been having hacker related issues as of recently, so I have been having a blast. But I see your point

[DeathJester76 29]

As Groover said people are playing other maps...with the number of 'Lingor Island', 'Takistan' and now 'Fallujah' map threads going up lately I'd say the number of players playing a 'Dayz related mod' in a 24 hr period is still up over the 100k mark

[Derpy_Hooves (DayZ) 4521]

I see the point also, but at the same time there are players still filling servers and clans very much active and i can see there still being a healthy amount when and a little beyond the release of the Standalone

[merrfack 90]

It's an exciting time if you ask me.... (stand alone) "drool"

Well if you want some stats about hackers, i went onto my server's Rcon, typed in "Bans", showed the bans and aparantly i have roughly 1000 bans on it, 5 of those are manual bans, the rest are automatic bans for hacks/scripts. My server has also only been up for roughly 4-5 days.

There will always be some out there, but at the moment their numbers have been cut enough to notice a welcome difference

I agree! I haven't been global nuked or respawned somewhere in a while, its a nice suprise

Hehe yea the script kiddies haven't gone anywhere but that's pretty insane number of a thousand bans in just 4 or 5 days.

Your server updates with the community banlist.....

There is no auto-banning on a default server, if you ever actually looked at your banlist (it scares me that you haven't) you would see that they are all community bans, with your 4-5 bans at the bottom.

Sometimes you have bad weekends, I think I had a 30-40 ban weekend. That's with log evidence. scripting has been greatly reduced in the last month.

Ah ok, didn't know that one.
