Thanks to all who joined the server over the last 6 months. We have officially closed our PZ server. It is possible we'll be back in the future as the game continues to evolve. 
 
Server details moved to spoiler for historical purposes:

 [PVP] [24/7] [uS]
 
Info:
  • Server Goal: To host a DayZ inspired PZ server that includes a decent mix of pvp, pve, base building co-operation, and trading.
  • Type: Vanilla - Fire Spread Off - Fire On (Burn your zombie corpses!)

Rules:

  • This is a full PVP server. It is your choice to be friendly, watch your back because not everyone is going to be.
  • Hacking or playing in any way other then intended in vanilla PZ is an insta-ban. Report any suspicious activity to this post or on talk.deadpixel.com, which will alert admins.
  • We do not offer a teamspeak as this can break server-wide immersion. Feel free to use your own of course. In-game text chat can be used freely but remember that not everybody will use the chat for friendly reasons.  
  • Personal attacks via chat are not acceptable, keep it pleasant in there, you have other things to worry about    :ph34r:.
  • Always build your permanent bases outside of city limits to protect them from map clean up.
  • Always log off with your most important gear.
  • We aren't accepting donations yet, but if you'd like to contribute please donate time helping new people to the server. We will never add any advantage to our servers via donations, it's just not our style.

Resets / Wipes / Bases / Zombies:

  • We have set-up our own script that will reset only major town and loot locations every week automatically. Building your base outside of city limits will keep it safe from map clean up. Check http://pzmap.crash-override.net/ for base location ideas.
  • Resets help clean up trash, loot dumps, wall griefers, broken windows, and destroyed loot containers.
  • Zombies reset everywhere 2x a week automatically.
  • All bases built in the forests and outskirts of these towns will be saved.
  • We do not wipe (full reset) the map until major build updates and releases. Typically we will not upgrade the server to IWBUMS builds (stable only) to keep map progression as long as possible. We do regular backups of the server in case of issues.

Reboots:

  • Server reboots automatically every 4 hours. All progress is saved.
  • 5 minute countdown will be announced before server reboot

 

Last Map Reset: 4/13 (31.13 update)

Updated server to 31.10, outage there for a bit. We have settled on keeping only the Fire Spread Off feature enabled. When using the Fire Off feature, burning zombie corpses and accidental kitchen fires are no longer possible. With it disabled, it is still possible to burn base walls down, but the fire will not spread beyond the one tile that is lit.

 

We think this is a fair compromise to realism while still helping the map survive all the arsonists out there.  <_<

Ping jumped to 31K and my Char randomly started getting injuries until he died (about 15 seconds). No zombies around at all! Whaaaatt! Just grinded him to lvl 10 carpentry and a bunch of other stats now he gets killed off by ping. Thats brutal guys.

Ping is now much more stable but we're still seeing spikes when a lot of people are joining.

 

This has been mentioned here for these guys as well: http://theindiestone.com/forums/index.php/topic/13061-zeeks-haven-247-us-eastny-serverpvpcspawns24gb-ramweekly-soft-wipesmonthly-hard-wipes/?p=170783

 

All signs point to the map uploading/downloading from on our end. We're sticking with this theory until we have more info. 

 

Been a busy few days since 31 dropped, thanks to all who've checked out the server.

Is this an issue on your end.. Got killed by player, logged back on and created a new char but when it gets to "This is how you die" screen, the letters just fade to black and it never launches server. It just stays a black screen. Not even a "click to skip". just black.

Player called Linna which is hacking atm, a few hours ago it was a new character, now he has level 10 aiming and sprinting and just killing people and camping their bodies, hopefully you can get rid of him in the next couple hours.

Nimh can you add me on steam ID:Neutz, 2nd one down from New Zealand.. i'm on the server quite often and it would be easier to contact you without posting on the forums here, if you don't mind.

 

Someones gone through westpoint and hacked in a bunch of walls, they are all over the place and its kind of ruined westpoint.

 

Cheers

Hey there, just wanted to report a player called Butch is on a killing spree and boasting that he can't be killed, doesn't bleed when shot, stuff like that. Pretty sure he's hacked, he seemed to respawn as someone named Lyn or Linn or something awhile ago but not positive if it's the same person or friends doing it together. Oh, and the walls are pretty extreme too but they aren't interfering with the game too bad... ;)

We'll look into this, thanks for the report.

We have finished testing and implementing our own version of a soft-reset script. We will now reset ONLY major town and loot locations when the map requires it. If population continues to be steady, we'll set this up to run automatically at random times, with a server announcement for those in game (Loot rush event!).

 

Major game updates may still require a full map reset (these could be a month or more apart). But until then, if you want to build a persistent base, head into the forest outside of town and build away with far less fear of losing progress

You're running the experimental IWBUMS version of PZ. To go back to stable, right click on Project Zomboid in Steam > Properties > Betas tab > And choose NONE under select beta dropdown. This will redownload the stable version of PZ for you.
