As Kahai mentioned, as of now if there is little interest in this server, I will likely let the server go down on the 24'th of october. The server has been running nicely for over 4 months but most of us have stopped playing DayZ mainly because hackers are too much to keep up with and we woudl rather wait for the stand alone game to come out.

If there is enough interest however, I would be willing to convert Atlanta 73 to a Private server which would give us total control over the server and be able to modify and track weapons and vehicles throughout the map and be able to wipe obviously hacked items. This change would also let us change the server to Fallujah as well. This change is approved by Rocket/HFB servers. So if anyone in this steam group is still playing/interested I'd be willing to make this change, let me know!

Just a heads up guys, this may be the final month for this server (for now) due to a bunch of us taking a break from DayZ (Borderlands 2, Torchlight 2, just taking a break, etc) so if you have weapons you'd like to keep, start moving em!

9/19/12 -- Looks like the server is down due to hoster's technical difficulty. Ticket will be issued to them shortly.

Just connected, told I was killed and sent to debug with someone else. Tried to respawn and didn't get the male/female screen and had no flashlight/etc. Oh well, crap happens and it's alpha, just giving the players a heads up

I've been playing this server for a while because I'm in Florida and I just saw the server message to join the group. I love how you guys keep up with your bans and maintenance, keep up the great work guys you're my only server if I can help it.

Banned someone using an interesting script/variable -- TitleText [format['Hah, ALT+F4? Nah you dont get off that easy. I remapped those keys to suicide.'], 'PLAIN DOWN'];

Server up and updated -- DayZ 1.7.2.6 + Beta 96584

Unknown status on Server. We will have to put in a ticket with the hosting company (which we're tired of doing honestly, it's a recurring theme with them) to get it back up. Will keep you guys posted.

will the server come back?

Hey. I started DayZ over the weekend. Been playing ARMA for a long time, but new to this mod. Was fun... till a bandit blew the back of my head off. Would definately like to group up with some of y'all.

... Magsman, I will find you.. and I will kill you. -.-

And thanks Kahai, I was just mad that magsman killed me....douche....takin' mah gearz.

I had a ghillie suit and the other guy had soldier....i had been alive for 31 days....31 days sir.

ohh i remember savage we thought he was hacking after we killed him and his two friends at NE airfield ,becuase they had soldier clothing lol

anyone in elektro ;)

We're always better safe then sorry. If you get accidentally banned (both of you were auto kicked for Script Restriction) so we can only assume something was up. That said, all you have to do is make a simple appeal and that's it as you did. I had actually unbanned Savage after smurf left in a huff. It's not an instant process :)

I found "kaktusbakrus" and banned him for the time being.

assuming it was an error but i can log in again, shame we all had to lose our gear. thanks for fixing it.

Player SAVAGE / Steam Name: Greatgoomba was banned today for being a victim alongside myself when hackers logged in, ported everyone to a random area and started slaughtering everyone. Savage and I have been playing on server 73 for several weeks and were enjoying ourselves. I don't know how you came to the conclusion that dude was hacking but your logic is severely flawed. I would kindly request you remove this ban as it is only going to remove 3 rather dedicated players from your community. Congratulations.

By the way, this makes me question the globaladmin message for the last few days stating that innocent people do not get banned. My ingame name is Savage so if you logblock or w/e this game uses, check it.

So i got banned just now for 'hacking' when i indeed did not. I was with my group, Pro Azzasin and Smurfbuds and everyone on the server was transported to a hill and were all maimed and killed, multiple times for some. The S.S.G.T clan had around 4 memebers that died with us. I logged out before dying and waited a minute to see if I had been moved. After doing this i was teleported again and was likely about to die just as I disconnected. On the join/dc screen I was going to talk to the admin then I was kicked for hacking. In the list of who killed who the only name that was listed as being the killer (don't know if it is spelled correctely) kataskutz. I would like to know why I was banned and would like to be unbanned.

For example, just banned someone for the script ""curPlayer allowDamage false;" which is more or less God mode.

Updated cheat/hack filters. Though it does not automatically ban, it will kick anyone that triggers those filters. When I get around to it, I will manually ban them. If you get a kick for "Reason #195" that is a randomly legit one so do not worry if you receive this one on occasion during login.

Yeah there's been some Hive problems so tents and vehicles will not show in those cases. Sometimes it will auto-reconnect but often a server restart is required in order to hook back up with the Hive. That will often solve tent/vehicle issues. Additionally, script checks have been implemented to help curb cheaters and hackers so if you get auto-kicked (sometimes very rarely you may spawn as a Seagul momentarily and the script will pick that up and boot you) just try again.

We cannot restart it all the time but we will try and give warnings prior. The 3 of us with the ability to do so do work (I have access from work but may not see the need to restart unless I'm told).

Yeah i don't know why the server kept getting D/C from the hive and making all the tent go away

Hi all. I'm in Virginia Highlands, 32 years old, hoping to help out in any way I can. I'm only around 30 hours into the game. Aside from reporting hacks I witness, let me know if there's anything I can do to help keep the game clean, balanced, and fun. Also, is there a system for donating to server fees, helping to upgrade the server, etc?

Good morning 10:55 am FRI all tents are gone. Any idea on ETA for a fix? Thanks allot :)

Hi again, server has lost all its tents/vehicles again like it did yesterday, please do whatever you did to fix it!

CDR_zander89 we have also seen a hacker teleporting about and killing us at around the same time, we -think- it was "poopfist" but we never saw his name so im not 100%

oh and also has anyone had problems with vehicles? we (5-6 of us) have lost 5 cars/trucks/buses and a chopper in the last week....they just seem to vanish every server restart..

i saw one guy (Wisp) get booted for trying to spawn a vehicle, also did all the tents vanish again? if so "sadface"

The server is now running the new BattleEye script blocking feature released today. With this (theoretically) it should stop almost all hacking/spawing/teleporting/instant kills. Glory to based god!

server updated to 1.7.2.5

We run battleye just like every other server connected to the hive does. There is nothing else we can do about it short of take the server down at 8 pm between 8 pm and 10 pm est. We have the cheating pieces of ♥♥♥♥ as much as the next guy. I'd say the only method of dealing with this would be to sit in the lobby and fraps the entire 2 hours and wait for someone to join and see thunderdome start.

Just to reinforce my previous point. It is not 8:30PM EST and my friend and I were teleported to the Thunder Dome after a good 3 hours of playing without problems.

Is there any kind of protection in place against 'scripters'? I primarily play on this server, and have noticed a substancial increase in hacked deaths. It always occurs from 8pm to 10pm EST. Which leads me to believe it's a user (or group of users) getting home from work on the west coast.

7 am est for the automated restart, outside of that we restart when we see performance issues. We always give a few minute warning when restarting.

is the server restarted daily and at what time (and what timezone)? thanks!

you can call Sigh a lot of things, an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ prick, an irritating douche, but 2 things you can't call him, stupid or a cheater. I've known him to long, he can barely get his mic to run, I don't believe he is capable of cheating.

Wasn't me. I haven't been on our server for a couple days. As for the jumping around I have no idea what that's about.

admins who rent servers from providers like we do have no way to delete tents as we don't have access to those files, the game is simply buggy. Sorry about the lost tents. My suggestion is to place tents with a throw-away item in them (a bandage works) and then save them, and see what's in it after the next server restart. If the bandage saved, the tent is good, if not, it's an alpha is all I can say.

server is back up .

Whats happend with the server guys? Me and my friends play regulally and now all of our tents are gone in all 3 camps scattered around the map, so we can rule out people taking the stuff, Was the map wiped or something??

server is down, hardware has fail again

Misq2k.. if you would actually read the DayZ forums you would know that the Arma2 engine gives 0 powers to admins then kick or messaging players. This isnt Counter strike where we can teleport or kill people. Sadly theres been a string of hackers as well as some that are bypassing BattleEye...

For the most part the server has been able to remain hacker free and were trying to keep it that way

Came back after the hacks only to be frozen in place for 2 minutes because i aborted when we all got teleported. Got shot waiting to be able to move. So fun

That wasnt a admin that tele everyone that was a hacker.... and we are looking at the logs right now..

Nothing says fun like getting teleport hacked to the edge of the map along with everyone else and getting owned by hacks.

3 second warning restart -> everything in my tent disappeared -> hacker joins server, breaks everyones legs and teleports us all to the wilderness.

Sorry for the downtime, it was due to a known hardware issue with the server. It's back up and running now

The server is currently down. Just want to let you know that, cant wait for it to get back up.
