obikai 0 Posted May 6, 2012 As the title says, NW plans to start its own DayZ server. Our server is very fast, and we will be monitoring it very closely to ensure maximum reliability.However fast hardware costs cash and what we propose as an incentive to both use our server and benefit from it is that people who make donations will be given a reserved slot on the server on a monthly basis .... this is simply because the calculated BW usage and costs for the mod are pretty damn high and to put things in perspective people are quoting minimum 2TB for dayZ we currently run 15TB with 100/100mbit and should it be required plan to up the hardware on the box aswell.What do you guys think? it does mean you wont be sitting waitin on open slots, you will also have the sanctity of a well organised and friendly clan keepin the populace in order :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
profanwolf 3 Posted May 7, 2012 How will you be doing reserved slots? And if you say manually kicking people, I won't take you seriously :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt Huntley 3 Posted May 7, 2012 Agreed with Profanwolf, is it possible to reserve slots? I mean, could you acctualy lock the server at 30 people, then make it PW protected? And share PW with the ones that got reserved slots?So if you got a 50 slot server, you got 30 open, when that cap is reached. It auto locks itself and is PW protected for the other 20 slots or so.

skurcey 11 Posted May 7, 2012 can you guys stop begging for money, if you cant pay for a server, just dont rent one, kthx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drakenof 9 Posted May 7, 2012 True.Also you can't " lock " a server and make it pw protected, it doesn't work like that and locked DayZ server are not accepted. You can cheat too easily since there's a SINGLE database. So if you can't afford a server, don't buy one. The only reserved slot a server should have is one for the admin and that's about it.

obikai 0 Posted May 7, 2012 I think the question has been misleading, no one is begging for money at all ... there are several threads asking for DONATIONS ALL NW was gonna do is give the donators a lil something back.Consider this topic closed i don't like the way this is going especially when its fellow leasers i see commenting.And as far as i understand reserved slots would work as we do on any other server whereby NAMES are reserved on the server, when the server detects the player it ejects a non reserved player at random. It's the way we have always done it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
izmak 53 Posted May 7, 2012 Yes, except the other servers you may have done it on aren't in a persistent world like DayZ.Crawling through the middle of a zombie-fested town in the middle of the night.---Randomly Kicked to make room for reserved member---Log back in, dead. Potentially hundreds of hours worth of work, lost.This is why Reserved Slots are a really, really bad idea. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
obikai 0 Posted May 7, 2012 Good point there Iz, tho Legion's hosted servers already do do that ... and you cant die when logged off so the emphasis there is definately on potential but i do see you point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Difecti 11 Posted May 7, 2012 Legion don't do that anymore, and Rocket has stated he is against kicking for members and donators. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mir00 2 Posted May 7, 2012 Cant it just allow reserved name to connect if server is full? Would be like 51/50, couple of players over the max wont do any harm anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam (DayZ) 193 Posted May 7, 2012 Arma doesnt support slot reservation anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
