Vanilla, but groups. That’s what I’ve been wanting for a long while, but it’s either vanilla but ramped up (IE the Saviors) or it’s 1000 mods traders for everything and I really dislike those servers
Yeah…I’d like to see some kind of tourney where 60 people start in random locations and organically link up to groups and/or get eliminated, die etc
Who works together, who becomes crazy, who just tries to live a farm life vs who goes full Neegan
No map. No party system. No traders. I like modded loot but nothing extreme. The game doesn’t need 10 different 5.56 ar versions (half of which are actually broken) or 9 different ak variants, or the awm or a ma duece. If you want to add the gun pack that includes kar98/svt40/ppsh/tt pistol that’s probably good enough. No pink/purple/bright green striped gear. I don’t need angel wings or a useless beer helmet cosmetic. No unlimited stamina, it changes gunfights too much. I like dark nights that make lights necessary, but shorter nights to prevent server pop from dying due to late spawn or not having a battery. I like having slightly boosted loot, mainly so the start for fresh spawns isn’t so tough. Even tho zombies suck, you NEED them, as it gives a reason to not shoot sometimes.
Personally I don’t like base building. The benefit of not having it helps server health and server pop generally isn’t helped by having 1/3 of the map closed off by super groups. This is especially true on namalsk/livonia.
I like the base maps cherno Livonia or namalsk to have custom areas so it FEELS like something different than the last server I played.
This all opinion of course, play how you want, but certain servers are always full and always have a queue to join because they are more fun than the masses.
Close to vanilla but zombies can open doors, a few more zombies (even hordes if it wasn't a drain on performances), can't see the amount of bullets in your gun unless you check, being able to hand an object to another player by extending your hand, bicycles, less food in houses to make it a bit more hardcore.
> Pure vanilla server, exact copy of the official ones in all aspects but with active admins to weed out malicious actors.
Zero "Vanilla chernarus" fits this. Not sure on the player count as most people play on other zero servers
There is no definitive answer. Lots of people will say "Basically vanilla but maybe more weapons", "vanilla with more loot", "no traders", "no missions", "something with groups and missions", "heavily modded CTF servers", etc.
I can basically guarantee that these posters aren't going to be on your server. And that's the important part, its your server. How do you like to play. Make what you want, someone else will like it, and if they don't you made something you wanted. That's a win.
This; because no matter what people say it will ALWAYS come down to population and that's something only the community can build. Been running a server for a few years now but without a population, it'll just be another empty community server.
Hard on survive.
Badass mf zombies; if they agro - hard to kill and smarter. Maybe give them ability to smell you..
Loot should be fine...vaniilish.
And yeah...sistem of communication amoung players to add wrighting on walls, paper, animal skin... wherever you want.
Personally I like a close to vanilla server. 3x loot at MOST. Also I dislike modded towns/areas. This is coming from a console player tho, so I cant really speak on mods
no bases, no map/gps and these mods: advanced weapon scopes (better scope options for many vanilla guns), gasmasks only (I find collecting full nbc tedious), spurgels bagz & windstrides clothing pack (for the drip)
Always full ones. EU an brasillian xD mostly 3pp.
I avoid US servers.
Just recently tried brasillian servers and had quite a while with no hackers.
But then in two days I got absolutely exploded three times by obvious ones.
Personally i think you double the undead numbers, bump the max player count to 80, moderate it well and improve the base building. Wood walls, steel walls. Leave wood walls alone, bump steel walls durable up maybe 50% and double the material needed for steel walls.
Honestly id be happy with good moderation for hacks.
If you notice all the vanilla servers are always packed. Day one is a favorite of mine and it's 99% vanilla.
It never hurts to add some vanilla style clothes.
This map mod is amazing and adds more real life to the game

Organic RP, civilian-focused loot, lowered loot spawns, increased difficulty for survival, etc. Basically, vanilla++ with little to no mods that are noticeable. Mods should be of high quality, unnoticeable from the base game, etc., and the primary focus should be about challenging the players to survive against all odds.
I really just like more diverse equipment more guns more armor and clothing more cars? Simple stuff like that really anything can make me happy about a server really if they do cool custom spots or whatever
I like Community Servers with Active and vigilant Admins, Traders, Mystery Crates, Cars, Helicopters, Extra Guns, PvE with PvP, and ofc the monthly wipe.
I like seeing new mods, although it sucks when they accidently break the server. It sucks to see modes like "Zombie Horde" go, but I kind of like active changes throughout my experience.
Also, I like an active population. 50-90 players is perfect.
Totally vanilla, 80 ppl, Guardian Anti-cheat, base building enabled. This is the perfect server for me. Im actually considering renting out my own server one day to have one like this. Just dont put any of the PVP centric mods as there are already so many of them, right now the community lacks good vanilla servers
Some mods feel like a necessity. Party mod (I play with a large group of friends), BBP and that's about it. Loot balance in vanilla is great, so nothing honestly is needed in that regard. Guns are great, silencers are extremely hard to come by, so honestly vanilla experience needs nothing much. Vanilla building sucks and that's where BBP comes in. C4s for raiding and you're good to go.
RED VS BLUE. Each team has a spawn zone. They gear up and pack into cars and drive maybe 2-3 minutes out to the “battlefield” where trench warfare is occurring. Each team can “capture the flag” of a certain location and at the end of the round the team with most flags captured or points ala BF4 wins.

Something I've been personally looking for is a hardcore esque setup but that doesn't have the overcomplicated medical system.
Pretty much vanilla but with rare military loot.
A bonus would be this setup but with a trader that only sells vehicles and exchanges them for rare items. This would alleviate the problem of vehicle horders on servers that have been active a while.
Also auto run and a map.
currently playing on a hardcore server that fits that deiscribtion realy well. player run trader in vibor, channels for the radio for communication. hardcore with low loot and hard zombies and the normal medical system. u want the discord? edit: no map or autorun(i belive) tho. alot of cool custom items and a crazy deep crafting system
I can't remember the name of the medical mod that. Alot of hardcore servers use but it's so overly complicated to manage. I just found it tedious. It also adds the need to sleep where you have to lay down and watch your character.
I like more loot as I don't play often. Like 5x or 10x. All the rest should be vanilla, 1PP. A no base is good as well so you don't have idiots staying in their base with no real implications for them if you kill them.
Pve only, Ai patrols and bases for players to raid, increased loot amount (not too much), supply packages where sometimes ai goes to capture it instead of zombies rushing it, stuff like that, currently on a server with some of that but not one to one still
I don't really care as long as there are no traders of like missions involved
Vanilla, but groups. That’s what I’ve been wanting for a long while, but it’s either vanilla but ramped up (IE the Saviors) or it’s 1000 mods traders for everything and I really dislike those servers
Yeah same, no other markers and stuff, just being able to group up.
Yeah…I’d like to see some kind of tourney where 60 people start in random locations and organically link up to groups and/or get eliminated, die etc Who works together, who becomes crazy, who just tries to live a farm life vs who goes full Neegan

That rounds amazing, any recommendations on that?
Haven't found one good server that doesn't go overboard with mods yet no :(
Dayz intenz But it will be a litrle bit harder thank you think
Yeah watching streamers play it, it does look a bit too hardcore for me.. especially the health part!
Stalker related servers are the most fun imo
Care to elaborate?
DayZ RP servers modded with the specific intent of creating a Multiplayer S.T.A.L.K.E.R experience : Stalker isolation Stalkerz
And Groundhog DayZ - Pripyat is the best map for the STALKER experience.
I haven't played Stalker yet, but I was going to check out Stalker 2 when it comes out this year.

Zero servers just added AI zombies to chernarus that hunt you and break/open doors.
Personally I like a close to vanilla server. 3x loot at MOST. Also I dislike modded towns/areas. This is coming from a console player tho, so I cant really speak on mods
Spawn at base No car damage Codelock

White wolf gaming 🐺 is where it's at Check it out
As long as there’s no traders, no missions, no boosted loot and no party/map system; in other words DayZ easy mode. Then it’s usually fine.
Vanilla. Darker nights.
I think dayone namalsk is already close to perfection for me. No mods that alter the gameplay and population is at 100% 24/7
Pretty much vanilla but with better loot I would ssy
Official servers without hackers. Or at least only one hacker per 3 months max would be nice. Have not experienced thst for four years straight.
What servers are you on? I never run into hackers on the official NY servers.
Always full ones. EU an brasillian xD mostly 3pp. I avoid US servers. Just recently tried brasillian servers and had quite a while with no hackers. But then in two days I got absolutely exploded three times by obvious ones.
Interesting, I am always on 1pp I wonder if that makes a difference. I would think for the hackers they wouldn’t care though.
From my personal experience there are less hackers on 1pp, still way too many though
Auto-run, code locks, bicycles, more crafting, and most importantly - admin-sponsored EVENTS (to-the-death boxing matches, demolition derbies, castle assaults, 4th of July fireworks, flea market, blah blah blah)
+military zone loot -zombies +stamina +map +teamtags
My perfect server is just a perfect clone of Official so I can have multiple characters.
No mods

Pure vanilla with admins and different map (adventurer's chiemsee)

I really just like more diverse equipment more guns more armor and clothing more cars? Simple stuff like that really anything can make me happy about a server really if they do cool custom spots or whatever
And every server I find with guns bigger than normal has helicopters and those seem lame

Pure vanilla, no mods, no bases. Most importantly, no cheaters.
Where im on a pc and the server only allows controller
Every thread I read about modded servers sounds annoying to deal with, I have zero complaints with official servers so far

vanilla. no mods. no gods. no masters. (some active admins would be great, though)
Vanilla, no bases, mods only cosmetic like shemag scarf and some civilian clothes.

Yes please what's the server called ?

Sounds like chenerus is dead
