Own a dayz stand alone server

[FuryansElitist]

Hey guys i was thinking of getting my own server for dayz stand alone from gameservers or villayer,
i could use any tips of which one i should choose and is it also possible to lock my server with a password? and is that legal? i was reading some stuff about it and im not sure what to believe i see servers that is password protected...

Just wanna play with my friends without people ruining it with cheats combat logging etc etc

Greetings,

Furyans

Nope. All servers, except for some experimental servers, are (currently) public. For good reason.

If you find one that is locked, report it. If you actually get kicked, report it. If you see a bunch of bluster and BS threats "YOU WILL BE KICKED! YOU ARE BEING KICKED!!!" laugh at them, and go on and play that server - put it in your favorites.

You should read the FAQ:

List of DayZ Standalone hosting rules:

• You may NOT change your servers slots
  
• You may NOT password your server
  
• Your server MUST contain the version number and whether it is Regular or Hardcore. ie. (Regular|Hardcore) VERSION
  
• Your server must NOT have a NO KILL policy
  
• You can NOT kick players on joining, to loot farm or to prevent other players joining
  
• You can kick if players are being verbally abusive or abusing ingame bugs to gain an ingame advantage.

This makes no sense they make you pay 24 euros and then 40 euros more to have "your" server. I have a garry s mod server, team fortress 2 server and many other and I can set password, kick and ban players without my server being deleted. Then if they have hosting rules make it easy to create a server just click a button download to download some files and port forward and you are done. I am searching for a way to make my server and if I make one I am going to do what I want with players that are on it. And other thing you said: "You can kick if players are being verbally abusive or abusing ingame bugs to gain an ingame advantage." so does that mean if someone is hacking I cant ban him? I even can't ban people I can only kick them WOW. So it makes no sence to respect the "rules", does it? I want to have a private server because I need more info about the game like how many times I need to this so that happens or where to find something and what if we are testing something and I kill my friend? He would have to run all over the whole map to take back his gear and do more tests.

Fizz2012, right now, in EA, we are here to support development. You can't support developmetn by restricting access to servers. This is why, until private servers become available along with a private hive, you can't password or unjustly kick, etc

You do not own the server, you merely rent it, and to rent it you must follow the rules, terms and conditions or risk having it removed.

If you want a private server, then simply wait till they are available.


Renting servers right now is for people who want to support development in this fashion. If you don't, then wait. No one is twisting your arm to provide a server and there are plenty for you to play on.


And what exactly would you be testing. . the only thing I can think of are hacks . ....

Is that why you want your own server?

It makes no sense to respect the rules? Do you mean the rules don't apply to you, that you are above the rules?

I think we are starting to see the bigger picture.


You are not a tester . . you are here to support development. Testing that needs to be done is done internally. Playing on the servrs gives them feedback. Your claim to need to "test" things is bogus unless you are testing something you should nto be testing.

it is very easy to comprehend peoples urge to "test" things ..that is normally what people do to find out about a game... your mind seems twisted towards that of accusing everyone of cheating. shame on you.

You may NOT password your server
You may NOT kick/ban people unless they cheat

accuse "everyone" . . could you give us some evidence of this (since I rarely say such things ....)

Waiting for your evidence.

(which I don't think will be forthcoming actually ...)

Ok so you say I want to cheat. Can you awnser this witout testing it on someone? How many times you need to punch someone in face (if target has pilot helmet) to knock him unconsciousnes? Or how many hits by zombie you can take till you die or how many times he needs to hit you to ruin your clothes?

Why don't you actually do some research on the web? Do you think you need a private server to do such tests? Tests like that are out there and perfiorned on open servers. In fact, gear has been tested in the seame way.

And given that everything is in flux, tests you do now will become void with another patch. And on to pof that, anything learned can mean nothing in the face of bugs and glitches.


The main point though, is lots of tests of these very things have been done on open servers ..


So why do you think you need a private server to run such tests? You are not a developer. You are a player. It should be easy to realize you don't need a private server to run such tests, esepcially tests that will become invalidated when changes are made.


But the very fact you think you are above the rules and the rules should not apply to you speaks volumnes.

All your arguments, all your protestations - especially when one looks at this logically and can see there is no valid need for a private server for the reasons you claim - just BEG the question:

Just what is the real reason you want a private server so badly?


Methinks he doth protest too much.

Can you tell me why? So I am making totaly normal server, everyone can play on it, it doesn't have a passwrod I still have to pay 40 euros to make it.

From all your posts you seem to think I have prematurely put 2 + 2 together and come up with 5. Maybe you're right.

Let me give you the benefit of the doubt then and ask you a question.

You said

I want to have a private server because I need more info about the game like how many times I need to this so that happens or where to find something and what if we are testing something and I kill my friend? He would have to run all over the whole map to take back his gear and do more tests.

If you kill your friend why would it be any different on your private server than it would be on a public server? Wouldn't he have to run back to his gear to do more tests?


And as far as the cost of the server, yes it is expensive. You would be contrbuting to develoment by providing a server for players. That is the purpose right now.

People are reporting them all the time.

I know of one specific situation that resulted in server hosts being directed to remove admin access to the log because it was being abused to abuse players.

Reproting abusive admins works.

Dean Hall intends to leave developer Bohemia and step down as leader of his hit video game DayZ by the end of the year, Eurogamer can exclusively reveal. The game he created will be left in the hands of the team he leads today.

He will start his own studio in his home country of New Zealand, where he'll keep trying to create that elusive, perfect multiplayer game.

Dean Hall told me this without any fanfare while we were in Bohemia's motion capture studio outside of Prague, Czech Republic. I sat him down the next day for an explanation.

"I am a grenade," he began, this time sat in the DayZ office in central Prague. "I have a specific use. I'm really good at risk-taking and making other people take risks, I've always been good at that in my life. Like you say, maybe I've got the gift of the gab, so I can talk, I can explain something, I can talk people up to the ledge and get them to jump off it.

"I feel like DayZ is a fundamentally flawed concept," he went on, "and I've always recognised that. It's not the perfect game; it's not the multiplayer experience, and it never can be, [with] the absolute spark that I want in it."

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/02/24/dean-hall-leaving-bohemia-stepping-down-as-dayz-lead

Yeah Dean Hall, a highly successful game designer and creator, gets to finally return home to his family a friends after wroking in a foreign country a hemisphere away FAR longer than he ever envisioned when the whole DayZ movement began.

He will be staying till he is no longer needed on the progject, then he gets to resume his life which has been on hold for so long.

Kuddos to him. It couldn't happen to a better person. :)

Most people who play this game and others like it are sub human. I have no desire to play this game on a public server with psychopaths that want to rape each other, steal each other's blood, and otherwise carry on like bratty children. I'd play this game if I could host the game myself (as you can with so many co-op games) for just me and a few friends.

Waiting it is. This game develops at a glacial pace and who knows, it may never get "done" or get to the point of reasonable co-op.

If you break the rules, your server will be terminated with no refunds. It is not your decision to make.
They rent out the servers with rules. You follow the rules, or you will be punished. Like I said, you cannot change this because it is not your decision. Renting a server does not make it yours.
You can kick players only if you have proof of the kick being worthy. You may not restart the server maunally for free loot, you may not do as you wish to other players. And you will not, not without punishment.

The game is going at an average or even faster than average pace actually, do not make false accusations that you cannot back up.
Private Hive servers that will be able to be passworded legally will be available in the future.
