On 3/1/13 our DayZ server will be returning to Fragtard. Duke and I will be setting it up Thursday night. We are currently discussing pricing information with our Host. We will be using the same Host we used before as they provided a very reliable service and answered CSR and Tech tickets quickly.

We will have custom anti-cheat to attempt to combat the hackers. This will be a constantly evolving effort as the cheats that are used constantly change. Time and patience will have to be given to find a system that works effectively.

At current there is a wide "want" from our DayZ server. By that I mean a lot of people want a lot of different things, so we will be simply leaving it up to a community vote, for now.

In the poll above are the map/mod options for our server. I will list them here with a quick description for those that have yet to play may have an idea/interest in that game mode.

Chernarus - Standard: This is the standard Chernarus map, the map offers the standard DayZ mode with no additions. It is the map that everybody knows and loves and is a guarenteed hit. This map has an extremely huge playerbase.

Chernarus - DayZ+: This is the standard Chernarus map, slightly edited. However, this map and mod offers an askewed DayZ Mod that has been continued to be coded by the community. The map has additions like constructable ladders, additional weapons and vehicles, and large changes to zombies which make them a real threat, rather than an annoyance that simply get in the way of PvP. There is also the ability to build player-made "bases" with in-game items. This map has a small player-base.

DayZ Namalsk: This is another modified-ruleset version of DayZ featuring what can only be described as an industrial-military island that no one lives on. There is a serious lack of residentials on this island that make it a genuine challenge to survive on. You are constantly cold on the island as it appears to be Antarctica's Asshole. The "end game" to this map is finding warm-clothing that stop you from getting cold, surviving from the "bloodsuckers" and "Blowouts", and finding the legendary gauss rifle, which is a sniper rifle that does a bazillion damage and has no bullet drop. This map has a medium-sized playerbase.

DayZ Taviana: This map features, for the most part, the original DayZ ruleset and is simply a second map choice. The map is composed of two large islands connected by a large golden-gate style suspension bridge. You spawn on the south side of the bottom-right island and, similar to Chernarus, must move north to find the good loot. There are also several smaller islands out in the ocean that can only be reached by boat or helicopter. This map also has a large playerbase.

DayZ Panthera: This map features, like Taviana, an original DaYZ ruleset and is simply another map choice. The map features mostly lush jungle with a mountainous interious. There are military installations along the coast. This map has a medium playerbase.

Im not voting yet because I want to play Panthera a little more before I make a decision. I havent even SEEN the map yet!

I like Chernarus but its very very big, it ends up being a walking sim,

DayZ+ I only played briefly, dont remember why we didnt go back? hackers maybe?

Namalsk - i personally loved this map for 2 reasons, the cold weather actually being a threat and the blowouts were fun! HATED the bloodsuckers, but one server we played on had hundreds and another didnt seem to have too many...so if there was a way to only have a few that wouldnt be so bad. the other issue is its a VERY small map. setting up a camp is not realistic.

Tavianna is a great map all round...but gets boring quickly.

Panthera i havent actually seent he map itself so I dont know how big it is,or its layout, from what I have seen playing it though, it looks like it could be a lot of fun.

the other map you DONT have listed here, is Origins....is there a reason, or you just forget about it? It seems very popular but you got banned from the only decent server running it.

I think you can get the namalsk map without the suckers. I like the map more the way it was at start :/

I voted Chernarus DayZ+ , because personally i think its the better version of DayZ .
It may also be because i (and quicksilver too)had a personal hand in the development for a while (all be it by just beta testing :p) .

It expands on vanilla with roaming zombies (even through forests ) , harder hitting zombies , basic base building (as of the last intel i had , havent played in a while) , player customisation by finding different kinds of outfits , altered weapon list : more suited to the location s : little to none US weapons and more Russian variants and no weapons in the line of AS50's , also altered chopper crashes and slightly increased crash rate .

All in all it makes for a better experience imho .

dont have foodstamps sorry :( but you already know we'll be contributing of course, how much is the server costing FT?
The jab was more aimed at FB as he somehow is under the misguided conclusion that I'm Richie Rich lol.

We're not sure what the entire package will be yet as we haven't determined which package to get at this time.I believe it will be under $40 USD/month but if we decide to go with paid anti-cheat, that can drive the cost up a bit initially (FB will know the details).

Incidentally I won't be voting until this Thursday nor will I be commenting on what map I like as I don't want to have anything to do with potentially swaying the vote.

Man you're stupid. I haven't even paid for the Server yet and you're already insulting me.

If you had half a brain you'd at least wait until the Server was actually paid for.

...Pepsi, what do you see in this guy?

Going to ban me from here too, wise guy? LOL
 
I'm very flexible...I can be talked into DayZ+, Taviana, Origins or Namalsk. Will vote one of the above for first choice only.

Duke - fireblade has found the EASIEST way to rile you up by saying your rich, you play into it every time lol your like an old married couple..too cute!

I think (from what firefag has said in between whining about not getting laid), the Origins map creators wont release the map for other people to host, hence why its only currently got 2 servers, one is the "official" and no clue about the other one but its full of hackers.

I wonder if there could be any negotiating to get them to let us host the map, its very popular and with only 2 other servers out there...one unplayable, our server would do really well.

They've gone to gamersplatoon for funding and free hosting for their own "official" servers so the gamersplatoon guys have their own little monopoly on it with a lot more funding than we can offer. Theres no way we'll get our hands on that official mod, unfortunately :(

I wonder if having .ftp access means we can dl these mods (I'm sure it does) and "adjust" them to something even better?

You can play with some of the minor things but adjusting large things takes a little bit of Lua coding knowledge, which I'm way rusty at at this point. We need to discuss how we'd like the server setup as well as theres now a large variation of ways that the server is setup. Such as forcing all of the vehicles to spawn but damaged or undamaged, no vehicles, additional weapon spawn rates, adding or removing weapons from the lootmap and that sort of thing.
