Seems like the hardcore server is having quite an effect on the number of players in the main server :/

Even if its only 1-5 initial people who are not logging into the main server in the daytime because they are playing hardcore it has a huge knock on effect. If we don't get 10-20 people on the main server by mid day the player count suffers a lot for the full day. We're still seeing 50 at peak times but not for long. I'll give things a bit longer before I decide, but if its going to continue effecting the main server this badly I may have to close it

yeah id also like to play hardcore but i only have so many hours in a day and if i split them on both servers i wont get anywhere.

I think ICD is pretty clear for staying on the main since even if wed all go to hardcore we would not find a good enemy there any time soon =) Ill just casualy play it every once in a while.

Please don't. I am enjoying he HC server pretty well.

CLOSE MAIN SERVER KEEP HARDCORE

I might even be up for that if the bases get transfered but im not sure how many others will ^^

09/05/2014 (hardcore only)

3000m Viewdistance - Trying it out as a server enforced minimum rather than an option, I don't even notice an FPS difference so we'll see how other people find it. Cloud/Rain will all take away from the maximum distance, its only 3k when its totally clear weather.

Idea(not sure if its possible): make the hardcore server a different map, whenever a player on the main server goes to the border of the map their avatar transfers to the hardcore server and vice-versa ,making it effectively an expanded game-world.

I like that the server makes everyone start-over without mega-bases, hopefullly it stays that way for a while

I don't think this kind of map changing is really possible. Plus I can hardly imagine the amount of work to maintain a completely different island as well.

There are anyway two islands, (main server and hardcore server) so the amount of maintenance won't change

Very much impossible I'm afraid, plus a huge amount of work. Even if they were seperate servers without an ingame function to change between the two. Because every dayz map is based on different dayzmod code which would require me to rewrite every server addition.

That's what I was referring to. Not so much the fact of two islands (aka servers) in itself as more the fact that you would have to go through all the bugfixing, changing of lootplaces and -tables, change in scenery etc. pp. again.

3k viewdistance is disabled for now, we were seeing weird freezing in game that I need to look into

Elitesoldier +1

only reason i still play on the mainserver is because of the player count

Mr.Brown, the population on the Hardcore server is increasing somewhat. Mainserver banditary is not what it used to be anyway.

interesting. but true. banditry still happen, but not as frequently. After a few new clans arrived, theres been more firefights all around the map recently, wich is good. But banditry, ohhhh, banditry will happen at its worst soon indeed.
