That's a damn lot of changes. Looking forward to it. Shame it's taken pretty much 4 months.
honestly i dont know why ?
its been literally done for a month or near enough but i think tey been waiting for rocket. i started testing that patch about 6 - 8 weeks ago and it was nigh on stable then.
cant wait for tomorrow and all the tears from the m107 , as50 nabs

I've found a really nice vanilla server where people have give quite far out of their way to help a downed player even though I don't think anyone knew each other before they joined. Some nice friendly banter and no damn snipers! It reminds me of why I really liked playing DayZ over a year ago...
Was DayZ even out this time last year?
yep and before that
Can you PM me in trust the name mate?

I've been playing since early May when someone on OCUK found about about the mod from somewhere else. Back then you started with a Makarov with 1 mag- 11 (I think?) shots. Instead of just legging it to the nearest industrial building, you'd have the choice of opening fire and wasting one of your precious shots, and attracting every zombie in eastern europe to your position) or stealthing it. Good times.

It was April 2012 when it first got released, then in August is when the COD boys came.
Think it was about early April that I started DE4 server.
Got to number 2 in the world and stayed there for at least 4 months, that was until the script kiddies and the general gaming population found out about Dayz!
Can still remember the first few games, adrenalin pumping constantly, people actually being friendly, night time lasting 8 hours, 2400 zeds on the server, NW airfield being the only absolute death zone, finding your first car, executing JohnnyMendoza because he had the cold, finding a fully repaired Heli, repairing your first car after 10 hours of hunting for engine parts and worst of all, being in the pitch black of night and hearing the god awful growl of a zed extremely close by and not being able to see or do a damn thing about it!
I can still remember running the full length of power lines to try and meet up with Too Tall and Melbo only to run head on into a zed 10 metres from them and screaming like a girl..
The first 3 / 4 months were certainly one of the best gaming experiences I have ever had!

I was a regular on your server as well, those were the DayZ back then that's for sure. I to used to run along powerlines lol, it was when DE4 went that I took a huge break.
I remember the early days aswell, great fun... We were picking up people in the bus or holding people hostage at the road side. Marker used to spend about 4hrs just transporting lol. Then the arguments kicked off, friends became enemies and DayZ became the backbone for anger on ocuk. Not just my end but others aswell, shame as at the start it was one of the best moments of online gaming

Agreed, DE4 were the good times. Also used the powerlines to find my way around (before dayzdb map), actually needing to use the compass and map. I remember my first venture to NW airfield, absolutely bricking it, I sat in a bush for an hour before I even thought about heading to the hangers.
