I would suggest you play Arma2: Dayz Mod if you want to do discovery with an access controlled server. At the moment DayZ SA is using a central hive so your location and inventory are the same on every server.

So to prevent people abusing this system servers cannot be locked/passworded as players would be able to rent their own server, get loads of great gear without worrying about other players, get to a location for shooting bambies, log out of their server and join a busy public server in the same plave with all their good stuff.

hello

thanks for the response , i understand yours reasons.

So i think it was better to not allowed to rent a server , especially with a price like that , i paid 50 euros and i can make nothing and was killed many times

do you have a timing in progress to allowed to locked a server ?

I do not work for Dayz, I am only a player, just like you. I also have my own server. I received an email from my host explaining what I explained to you above.

I would assume that the DayZ crew would not supply servers for everyone as that would be too costly for a game in it's Alpha phase. Having lots of servers available will let the half a million players test the game and send their results here. It is absolute genius!

I am certain that once all the changes to the database have been made and have reached their final state server owners will then be allowed to have their own database allowing for a locked server.
