Decommissioning Server until BETA
Since our community has been on extended hiatus until BETA, I have renewed the server one final time and will decommission the server at the end of the new invoice term.
The server is paid up until the end of September. Thank you all for joining us, we will be back in BETA! Most likely after the server files get released so we can get some proper backups and administration tools.
Until then, there are plenty of great communities out there still hosting servers we can play on.

Server Persistence Wiped 12 June 2017
Unfortunately, our persistence database file became corrupt causing our server to crash while we were all playing on it. It was never able to recover and would keep trying to start and crash.
Tech support tried several things before we decided to just have them to start fresh. The persistence has been wiped, so we are all starting again. Welcome to DayZ Alpha!

Server Expired
Our game server was allowed to expire due to the long wait for 0.61 and lack of interest in DayZ at the moment. When our community picks back up, we will begin a funding drive and new server again when that time comes.

Server issues lately are getting addressed
Hello all!
Fragnet has been quick to respond and wonderful in looking into our server downtime. I figured I would post an official news update since it is being asked on the forums.
Here’s the scoop with our server:
- 0.60 update caused a massive influx of server requests for DayZ servers to Fragnet (and I am assuming other hosts)
- Fragnet setup new servers to address the load and a new admin platform at the same time to give us more control over the server and persistence restoration
- Our server was moved to the new platform
- For some reason our server is crashing and the new platform is not restarting the server like it should, it might be related to 0.60 server side updates
- They are actively working to make it so the server restarts gracefully when it crashes instead of stopping
We can forcefully restart the server, but apparently the techs at our game server provider have more details available to them if we leave the server down so they can look into the cause and resolutions. Fragnet requested that I leave the server down and put in a ticket so they can work on a permanent solution. They usually respond within an hour, and sometimes minutes, of me putting in a support ticket (Vilayer used to be 48 hours).
Hopefully that helps everyone know what is going on, I have been on it as much as I could be while we had out of town visitors staying with us. Feel free to respond to this news article with any updates! Also let me know and I will keep on top of it!
Mumble Updated, The Wasteland
We have changed how the public is able to interact in our Mumble server.
The old muted jail, “Unregistered”, has been changed to “The Wasteland”. The Wasteland is an unmoderated (except extreme cases) Mumble channel where our server regulars can play and get to know each other. They can also interact with us from time to time if we decide to join The Wasteland.
Non-community members will still be stuck up in The Wasteland and will not be able to join any other Mumble channel. If you are a vetted community member, you may now choose to keep it quiet in The Courtyard or join the chaos of The Wasteland.

Super Bambi Camp! Free loot for the general public!
Greetings to the DayZ General Public!
Are you a lone wolf that has never had time or energy to put together a vehicle? How about wanting to try some of the exotic weapons you may have heard about but never were able to find on your own?
With the upcoming character wipe once 0.60 hits stable, our community has been planning and decided to move our entire base, fleet of vehicles, and all of our loot including weapons, armor, ammo, etc to a location we call “Bambi Camp” on our server.
South of Berezino, on the East coast, is a town called “Nizhnoye” which is where our Bambi Camp is located as pictured above. Bambi Camp normally has food, water, and miscellaneous survival gear that our community keeps stocked for fresh spawns.
We invite you to come check out Bambi Camp and play around with what DayZ has to offer. We took some pictures during our setup, but we are NOT putting up pictures of the final “Super Bambi Camp” or a list of what the camp contains. We promise there is some good stuff in there when we set it up. We cannot promise that the stuff will still be there by the time you get to it.
The Hostile Environment Relief Organization does not have the manpower or energy to police this event after spending most of today moving everything. Come check it out and meet some folks!
The aftermath:
It was good times, met some friendly folks, came across some not so friendly folks. Thanks to all that helped and showed up!

New server host: Fragnet
OK, the new server is setup with Fragnet. We should have about 2-3 week overlap in servers that I can use to inform our current regulars to move their bases to the new server and also we can move our base over once Vilayer gets the old server back up and running.

24 Apr HERO 3PP Public Server Down
The server has been down for a couple of days now, I put in a support ticket as soon as I noticed it was down the other day. Here is the response:
We are sorry to say that it would seem that the dedicated server your server is located on has got a problem, it seems that either the monitor for the control panel has stopped responding or the box has not recovered from a crash or DDOS attack. We have notified server staff who are working on getting this resolved as soon as possible.
There will be a email and ACP notification put out over the system for when this has been repaired or fixed. If you have any other questions or queries please let us know by replying to this ticket.Sorry for the delay and inconvenience we are working as fast as possible to get you back online.
If you have any other queries or issues don’t hesitate to get in touch.
