I thought this might be a good idea due to there already being some servers like this in the Day Z community already. Also I think a zombie survival roleplay in general is a good idea and in my opinion Day Z is the best platform for it. Hope this actually gets made and if so look forward to seeing you all there.
DayZRP gets boring really fast.
Also one of the top reasons why DayZ server is a bad idea is that DayZ server needs admin on 24/7 to keep the scriptkiddies away from nuking the whole map and destroying camps etc.

I thought that password keeps everything safe :(
Also we should make a WarZ RP server. More options for building camps and customization, etc.

are you kidding me lmfao
War Z server nor the scripts aren't even customizable, how would you imagine the RP with a bunch of people named Xxx_MLG1337KilleR_xxX running around? Stuff like the enormous map, lack of scripted organizational and administrative tools should be looked at as well. You also must rent servers from the developers.
If you want to do the stupid 'military arpee' thing then it can even be done on Cawadooty if you want. A separate server for playing the same (bad)game isn't necessary.

There's this thing called stars. You do it like this:
Press enter. **A cat suddenly shoots out of his L85.
Also when you rent your server it is possible to lock it out, although I see your point. Players would have to keep to one part of the map and the RP is possible to make in a small group of friends.

War Z doesn't allow any development, which means no /event, /me, loadouts, admin commands, factions, etc. Paying for a server to "roleplay" on it is basically a waste of money. GMod is a much more safer platform than Day or War Z ever will be.
And the kind of RP you're describing I cannot really count as a way of proper story development, because War Z in a nutshell:
Get gear, kill zambees, use wooden planks, get gear.
It has no opportunities for roleplay beyond what I described above.
Making a working 64 player multiplayer mod for dead rising 2 is easier than keeping the retards away from your WarZ/DayZ server.
Epic Stephen Fry Rant (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0cJBEMiN1c#)
Hey this is just an idea and I'm okay with any game for it just Day Z was the first one that came to mind.
Also you can keep people off a Day Z server and have Admins with all the magic Adminy powers. Plus events can be wars between factions or a huge hoard of zombies spawning in.
Also I am going to remind you that there are already Day Z roleplay servers we would just be making one run by HGN.
Hey, how bout' you open your eyes, yes? Wait until they* get StalkerRP working and fixed up and then we can talk about other servers.
The last thing we would want now is a stupid DayZ server working on a barely stable engine. It would get boring and repetitive like the Mod itself, Im in no position to talk and my opinions don't matter but this idea is stupid. And don't even get me started with the so called "popularity" and "coolness" of the mod. I can give you 100 reasons of why this IS a bad idea but I'm too lazy to type them all
No, good day sir.
Well crossing out your rant was rude. I am okay with waiting for Stalker to go back up but you don't seem to get something I'm saying and that is that Day Z is just the setting which is why I said we can use other games. I am really just trying to make a zombie survival roleplay. I did not pick Day Z as the definite one for the server I was just using it as an example of zombie survival roleplay servers working. I didn't pick it because Day Z is "cool" I admit the game is okay and just gave people what they wanted in that it gave them a sort of difficult zombie survival game. The real question when okaying this server is. Do you think a zombie survival roleplay would or could be fun?

SK's main reason for not putting up zombie rp is because it gets old fast.

for the gearwhores that don't even have a little bit of imagination or motivation to develop the story? yes, that's true.
however I do forget what kind of people are we targeting here...
You can stop gearwhores gearwhoreing by lowering the spawn rates of guns and rasing the spawn rates of food and drink. Also I think we can mark gearwhores as one of the people we are not targeting to join our servers.
The Everchanging list of people we want on our servers
1. Roleplayers
2. Trolls
3. Gearwhores
4. OP Characters
Except if you make the spawn rates super low than new players who haven't been playing since day 1 will get bored of getting ganked by the old players with the best guns without being able to defend themselves.
There are far better RP options out there than Zombies, and Day Z is a terrible base to use for RP even with Zombies.
It is a sad thing that are not enough serious rpers. Also any amount of people with big guns and few guns to around causes people to band together causing both roleplay and story. I don't think anyone who goes around on a roleplay server seeking out people to kill will last very long as just a murder.

I guess he's a slow learner.
"roleplaying" guide for DayZRP:
1. Find gear
2. Kill for more gear
3. Store gear
4. Steal gear
5. Kill for even more gear
6. Get bored and leave
When in doubt, steal tractor.
You guys really lack faith in people. I think people would join a roleplay server to roleplay not just play the game it's based in.
Have you been playing long?
All I've seen from RP servers are dicks that hoard and shoot on site.

Google DayZRP
They actually got rules against Shooting on Sight.
Rules never really stop anyone.
If that's true why do rules exist. The reason rules work is because they are enforced and we have admins for that.
Hello all I'm an Inactive HGNer and vatovie think of all the crimes in the world that can't or aren't stopped by police because that's exactly what's going to happen on server. Some people will be punished or banned if an admins on but when admins are off all hell breaks loose, admins can't be on 24/7 so fuckwits don't fuck everything up in a day.
Stop posting already.
It is true they can do what they want when the admins aren't on but that is true for pretty much any game. Also you can lock a sever so you need a password to log in. You can't deny an idea because people will do bad things. If you used thta logic then none of the roleplay servers would be up. Also it can be a game other than DayZ I have said many times this is more a asking for a zombie survival roleplay. I'm just using DayZ as an example.
Arma is a bad RP engine. It lacks immersive gameplay and we have no developers for the engine.
Not like you really need anything but the engine to RP.
I'd be fine with just using it as a Military Scenario RP. Just get a group together and try to complete a mission while roleplaying or something.
