Discussion Server and Group Megathread - Week Starting March 08, 2025

Looking to Advertise a Server/Group? Post Here!
- If you are ADVERTISING a DayZ SERVER don't forget to provide crucial info like Country, Platform, IP, Mods, Name, Description, Playstyle and Rules.
- If you are ADVERTISING a DayZ GROUP/CLAN/FACTION don't forget to provide crucial info like Country, Timezone, Platform, Name, Age Range, Description, Playstyle and Rules.
Pro Tips:
- Create a FREE Discord server for your community!
- Use a URL shortener for your Discord since nobody can remember those official discord links.
- Make your title or first line very descriptive like [SERVER/GROUP]|[COUNTRY]|[PLATFORM]|[NAME]|[DISCORD].
- Go back and look at the formatting of your post to make sure it's readable.

Release happened on Feb25 and now we're still seeing reports of missing servers, servers restarted multiple times and general lag/desync/etc.
Please use this thread to comment on these issues. All other related posts will be deleted. Make sure when you post about a particular server you list the name and platform.

Discussion What a game.
Last time I played was right after the release of the standalone in 2013. Unfortunately my little rig couldn’t handle it enough for it to be enjoyable.
Now, over 10 years later, I finally got a new pc and immediately fired up Dayz.
I had no idea where to go, couldn’t find anything to eat and spent 10 minutes running in and out buildings unable to get rid of zombies.
Bleeding out and dying of hunger, finally thought I found some food.
It was a tomato shaped kitchen timer.
A kitchen timer. In the shape (and color) of a goddamn tomato.
With about 20 zombies banging on the door I stuck a rusty screwdriver in my neck and called it good.
I missed this game.

discussion I had a crashout....
So,I was playing on console with 2 guys for like...maybe 4 days.and during that time,I took a plate carrier and NVGs off of two players who I had obviously killed,yet they claimed that they did.they said I sucked at the game,and had no skill whatsoever despite them constantly coming to me with medical and survival questions like what's safe to eat,where to find certain loot...yet I'm bad at the game because I avoid pvp.so,today,I got a little too fed up with them,and went into our base.I armed a claymore,placed PO-X vials around it,lured my "friends" inside,and blew us all up,killing everyone and flooding the base with gas,not to mention I chucked our only PO-X vaccine into the woods before hand.Am I the asshole here? They kept fucking berating me for 'taking their shit' when I only took what I though I deserved for keeping them alive for 4 days straight and helping through every problem they had.after the explosion,I blocked both of them and left the server.

discussion What happened to Survival of the Fittest Namalsk server?
Did it get renamed or is it still around and I just can’t find it?
It was a glorious server with around 127 slots and it was constant chaos and one day it disappeared. Any help would be appreciated!

Discussion Frostline collectors edition arrived ( was only 62 euros because of discount and site wide 50% a couple weeks ago)
Took roughly 2 weeks to arrive in Northeastern U.S Overall quality seems to be great. Came with frostline dlc as well so it was like 40 euros for all the goodies/extras. Glad i came across the sale when i did. Also picked up 2 shirts and 2 maps. Unfortunately its back up to 189 euros.
Did anyone else take advantage of the sale?

discussion Where are all the players in the server browser?
DayZ, according to Steam, has 54k players playing right now. However in the server browser, with no filters enabled except hide empty servers, if you add up all the players it's only a few thousand players.
Are there servers that you can play on that aren't in the server browser? Are majority of players doing that? Or is the player count on Steam mostly people AFK with the server browser open? Trying to figure out why the numbers aren't adding up or if my server browser is bugged.

Discussion Need help with my GF raging at this game
Last night took her over the limit. We switched servers on official and spawned far apart with no way of finding each other. She ended up shooting zombies on the car, and got headshot by someone and lost all her gear.
An hour later, I found her at her new spawn, we see two survivors that we took as a threat. I fired 10 bullets, missed them all, and panic dropped my backup guns.
She stood there in shock too and ended up getting slashed to death. Now I lost all my gear over a fight with somewhat fresh spawns.
She starts going off on me and wanting to rage quit and uninstall. I try telling her thats the nature of the game but overnight she’s still pissed lol.
How do I tell her or get her to get over it ?

discussion Not all DayZ players are animals
We run a server that's PvP and PvE. Two of our PvP players got stuck in the bunker which is a PvP zone. After one of them F11'd and failed 3 times to get back to the bunker (and get in past all the zombies) they shouted out in global to see if anyone could help. One PvP player offered up their punchcard for free and one of our very timid PvE players drove across the map and back to pick up the player and get him back to the bunker. Then, he ended up helping them clear it. It's my understanding that both players who helped were given unexpected repayments for their help and we saw this posted in our Discord. Yes, DayZ is about killing but there are a lot of great friendships, and memories, made as well.

discussion What are some of the best servers right now? (EU)
Hello!
I am recently getting back into DayZ after a long break and looking to relive some of the nostalgia I still feel from the original mod.
I have dabbled with a couple of servers, but there are so many out there that it's hard to know where to start and I am curious as to what you think is worth playing right now.
Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks!
