So does anyone here happen to play DayZ?
If you are unfamiliar with what DayZ is, it is a major mod to the game Arma II. It has become so popular and expansive, in fact, that the creators of Arma II are helping the creator of the mod to create his own game modeled after the Mod. The Mod, itself, has such a following that is has attractive an active 1.5ish million players.
The Mod is hosted by individuals who run Servers. There are Official Servers which are managed by the company - so Admins (people) have limited powers and abilities to get rid of 'hackers'. Then there are Private Hive servers where the admin(s) can do as they wish.
The game is a Zombie Survival game, and it is intense. You have to worry about other players, eating, drinking, breaking limbs, bleeding, getting too cold. You find vehicle in game that you must repair and maintain. You venture around a 225km map that is seriously MASSIVE in game. Want to scavenge in cities? Find a nice place to setup and wander around the town trying to avoid other players who prey on players for gear (bandits) or team up with other Friendly players to make a group and protect yourself, your camp, and become a little safer when traveling.
Buddy get's shot and is bleeding? Bandage him, locate a hospital, and give him a blood transfusion with a blood pack. Can't find any canned food? Take to the countryside and wood to hunt, gut, and collect meat to cook at a fire that you collect the wood for. Load up your backpack and carry on.
The game is very fun, so fun that we have brought ourselves into Ownership of a server. So, just curious if there are any other players of the game out there or any other Admins.
