A support ticket has been submitted and the server should resume functioning normally. The problem appears to be beyond what we as admins can do and must be fixed by the game server provider.
Thank you for your patience!

DayZ Standalone HEROs – Special Delivery – YouTube
We successfully delivered 28 care packages across our server to help wandering survivors. We dropped them in very conspicuous places such as along the coast road, in front of police stations, etc.
Each package consisted of 2 rations of food, 2 rations of water, 2 bandages, and a friendly note.
New Server! HERO* – Hostile Environment Relief Organization
We are back with our own server in DayZ! This time we are starting off with 3PP Public. Continue reading
Now taking donations for a HERO server!
Our community has grown enough that we can probably sustain a server again!
Ideally, as we grow large enough, we will have multiple servers and maybe even our own private hive. However, being that we need to be able to assist the general public, our first returning server will be a 3rd Person Public server.
This will allow us to host our base and be prepared to handle any requests for help and run missions on the most populated part of DayZ, 3rd Person.
Once we have 3 months of reserve funds in our pool, I will start up the server again with Vilayer. You can see how much we have in our fundraising pool on the right hand side of the web page, also you can click on the donation link to add to our funds.

Membership Drive, New Base, and Website Changes
Membership Drive
Welcome all of our new members! Our membership drive is going strong and we have lots of great folks who have joined our ranks this past month.
Right now our new folks are unranked GOOD*. Once zombies are back in the game, I will be looking at setting up some training missions to help some of them transition into squad positions by completing challenges. I also will be looking into inducting and training new HEROs soon.
Going forward, we will be working toward a distribution of about 5 GOOD* for every 1 HERO* on our roster. With our previously set goal of 25 HEROs, this means approximately 125 GOODs will be in our ranks for a total maximum population of 150 active members planned.
New Base
Our base location has moved and we now are back in business with a full sized operating base. We have also taken several measures to prevent our base from being discovered and if discovered from being completely stolen. At the worst case scenario, only some stuff will be stolen upon discovery, not all.
Please do not post the base location or strategy on our website, use Mumble or direct Steam messaging to communicate the base location to other members on our roster, thanks! There are folks out there with nothing better to do than search the internet for base locations and then server hop to find them.
Website Changes
New to the website is the ability for users to register using their Steam account. Steam does not give our website any information about your account that is not publicly available, it only sets up a login token so that our website can authenticate you with Steam if you want. This means if you forget your HERO website password you can still login with Steam.
If you are a current member that wishes to link you steam account, log out then click on “Connect with: Steam” in the login area. You will be directed to Steam login then back to the website where you can link the accounts.

Base Raided by “The Bandit Clan”
Our base was raided and approximately 10 tents and 10 barrels were stolen along with all the gear contained within them. We have since moved the base and have gear in a new location. I will share the new location in Mumble with anyone that wasn’t there for the base recovery mission.
They were kind enough to leave a note at least, however they only identified themselves as “The Bandit Clan”. I am looking into the identity of the thieves, mainly to find out how our base was comprimised. We are fairly certain which clan this was, and I have confirmed IP addresses and physical locations of the perpetrators. This information will not be shared and will only be used to link the perpetrators to their identity. No retaliation will be done other than perhaps a counter base raid if we are able to discover where our gear went.
If our base was stumbled upon in-game, outside information will not be used for a counter base raid. However, I have good reason to believe that our base was raided due to “meta-gaming” which is using out-of-game information and knowledge to gain an advantage in-game. Basically, I believe that our base location was known before the clan entered the server.
Also a surprising find is that the yellow protector cases seemed to survive a reset. These might fair well for stashing a small amount of gear.
New Server: MINIDAYZ
MINIDAYZ is a free browser based game from Bohemia Interactive. It is a top-down 2D reimagining of DayZ. The basics include zombies, melee and weapons, and surviving the environment.
Since the server files were available, I have set us up a server for MINIDAYZ. Enjoy!
New Community Changes
This is the recording from our Community Meeting discussing the new changes to the Hostile Environment Relief Organization. Please forgive my Mumble settings, I keep cutting out at the end of my sentences.
You can direct any questions or concerns to the comments below or to me privately via Steam. Thanks!
HERO Community Meeting
Mumble, 05 September 2015 @ 18:00 Mountain, 20:00 Eastern.
If you log into the website or Mumble and notice any changes that affect you, DON’T PANIC!
GOOD changes are in the works for our community! And with the recent 0.58 patch as well as the announcement from Brian Hicks about how patches will be rolled out from now on, we should have a much more stable game and can begin restructuring our foundations for a more stable community.
The Hostile Environment Relief Organization is getting revamped and if you have visited the website recently, you may have noticed a few changes. These changes are going to help us build upon our existing foundation for us to grow this community to our previous goal of 25 HEROs.
The changes will be discussed in detail at a community meeting hosted on Mumble. Questions will be answered after each topic for anyone that has questions.

Expiring Our Server
We originally set out to have our own server so that we could have a home to store loot with persistence turned on. It seems that many of the 1PP players have vanished, most likely due to the fact that they can no longer store up supplies and the game is essentially back to how it was, quick looting with server resets giving a full loot table, and PvP just for something to do in between the fast looting runs.
Due to this state, it doesn’t make sense to continue funding our game server until persistence is back on and stable. The funds will remain in place and continue towards the website/mumble fees, but our server will be set to expire around 20 July 2015.
