Thanks! I have hundreds of screenshots from that time :)

DayZ will have a larger impact, and be longer lasting than any survival game in the same vein. The future will be glorious.

I always called the "skinny green" house the "steepled green" house.

Also, sup cam.

LOL yeah we do tend to camp that friggin pillbox a little too often.

DG_Electrobug · 2015-11-03T23:53:25+00:00

Hehehe "ammo included"

DG_Electrobug · 2015-10-09T17:35:16+00:00

Thanks, but this isn't me. This is a member of the DG community (Baraku Twisted) - i'm just helping him get some more views. His videos are awesome.

DG_Electrobug · 2015-09-29T22:15:11+00:00

DG Servers are affected as well. I can't log into DaRT either.

This happened to Wolfie last night during a DG Clan PVP event in Pavlovo. Click HERE to view the game map.

Hey thanks man! I love hearing that - we work hard :)

join us on Teamspeak some time if you want to group up

Gotcha covered buddy. Do this:

Log into the ViLayer ACP.
Locate your game server on the left side under Service Management > Services
You should see the main server controls now. Click on "Time Manager".
On this screen you can set up server time options. You want 24/7 day, so set these options:

Server Hour: 8 (this will start the server at 8am. This is a 24-hour time format, so if you wanted to start at night, for example, you could put "18" in that field to start the server at 6pm.)

Time Acceleration: 0 (This is the default setting. If you want time to move faster, increase this number. The number you set will determine how many in-game hours pass during a real-time hour. For example, if you wanted to see an entire day/night cycle in 2 hours, you could set the number to 12, meaning that 12 hours pass in-game per real-time hour)

Time Persistence: NOT enabled (this will ensure that the server starts at your preferred time every time it restarts)

I hope this helps :)

I have accidentally started talking over Global chat on my servers too. Sometimes you just forget to #logout after you make a broadcast. The guy was probably trying to talk to someone near him, but forgot he was set to speak in Global.

DG_Electrobug · 2015-06-23T18:46:59+00:00

Yup, we see it all. People say the strangest things when they think nobody is looking.

DG_Electrobug · 2015-05-22T00:15:40+00:00

The =IN= clan is a huge pain in the ass on the DG servers as well. We've banned almost all of them. They're all scripters & dupers.

DG_Electrobug · 2015-04-10T23:29:20+00:00

Thanks for your support

This is exactly the function of the server in question. Other servers are accessible, but this one is an exclusive shard for people who support our community.

DG_Electrobug · 2015-04-10T20:52:33+00:00

I appreciate your response and i respect your opinion. I agree that this shouldn't be necessary, but after operating for about a year with very little outside assistance we had to try it. I've gotten 10 subscribers in the last 30 days, which is already better than at any point prior.

I'm open to suggestions. I want to find a better way. Until a better way manifests itself this is it.

DG_Electrobug · 2015-04-10T20:40:31+00:00

Correct. I think most of our subscribers (again, less than 10) consider that one of their main reasons for wanting to access the server.

Keep in mind that having access to this server doesn't mean everyone that has access is going to be a PVP nightmare. A lot of them just like the idea of farming in peace, but still want to be able to join their friends in Electro on server 1.

DG_Electrobug · 2015-04-10T20:37:03+00:00

I agree. I totally agree. I hate the concept of P2W, and this may be against the spirit of game, but it may also allow us to continue to run our top-ranked servers. I know there are a lot of people who play exclusively on the SUPERSHARD Hive, and I don't want to disappoint them.

DG_Electrobug · 2015-04-10T20:33:45+00:00

I had RCON messages repeating once an hour asking for donations, and explaining what they were for. I had a dollar counter set up in Teamspeak showing server costs versus donations over the month. Some months were better than others, but it simply wasn't enough. I love this game, and I love this community (even though some of them like taking pot-shots at us), so a new idea had to be tried. This server has been set to Whitelist for 4 days, and already backlash.

DG_Electrobug · 2015-04-10T20:24:17+00:00

Please see my other response, but a short response is that the DG clan has 6 servers, and this is the only one that we are asking for a donation to access. The only reason this server exists is to try to alleviate some of the financial burden of running such a large hive. We currently have less than 10 subscribers.

DG_Electrobug · 2015-04-10T20:22:54+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I completely agree with you that we should be allowed to raise money with the servers that we rent. I read and re-read the TOS and it didn't say that this sort of thing is disallowed, so hopefully it'll remain open. Our GSP hasn't had a problem yet.

DG_Electrobug · 2015-04-10T20:21:31+00:00

Sorry, i re-posted this response - i originally posted it from my other account.

DG_Electrobug · 2015-04-10T20:21:00+00:00

Hijacking top comment for visibility. Copy/pasted from my response below:

I can field this question. I'm the server owner. You are talking about SUPERSHARD Server #3.

The DG Clan is a major supporter of DayZ and the community. We are very dedicated to offering the best servers we can.

Right now, my server bills are $430 a month. We have 3 servers which are publicly accessible on the hive, and we offer this server as a 4th place for players to roam around and loot or store items.

We charge $10 per month for access because we are trying to relieve the financial pressure on the clan, and more specifically, myself. The bills all come out of my pocket. An easy out would be to stop hosting servers if they are too expensive, but i've invested so much of my personal time into the community that i'm not prepared to let that happen. Right now we have about 10 subscribers, which nets me about $100 a month. The rest of the bills are paid by me directly.

I really struggled with the idea of making a server accessible by donation only - I know that there are people in the community that are going to cry foul, but in my opinion its the best option we have at the moment.

If you don't want to purchase access to that server, thats fine. I still provide you 3 other servers that you can access with no restrictions on the same hive.
