DayZ Community Servers
No, there is no hive system on our servers. Each character is specific to the server they were created on.
If any map changes are planned, we will make an official announcement. If there is no announcement, we have no current plans to alter the maps we host.
The DayOne team actively monitors and playtests mod maps in development. We will only consider hosting a new map when we are excited about it as a team, it has a solid loot economy and player progression, and we have server space available.
We do not currently sell priority slots, sorry!
All times EST (EDT when Daylight Saving Time is in effect).

The DayZ Launcher can sometimes be slow to display all servers, or may not show them at all. We recommend waiting it out and adding the DayOne servers to your favorites.
If servers still aren't showing, you can use Direct Connect with the IP:PORT combinations below. Make sure to tick Add to favorites in the Direct Connect window.

We require players to use a name other than the default assigned to their character.
In the interest of server health and loot economy, we have disabled burying larger containers such as drybags and sea chests. Smaller containers — protector cases, dry sacks, and teddy bears — can still be buried.
When placed above ground, sea chests have the same persistence time (14 days, 7 days on Namalsk) as underground stashes. We encourage you to find a creative hiding spot for them.
Most items at DayOne have persistence timers lower than vanilla values. To avoid metagaming, we don't disclose the majority of timers. The following are the ones we consider important for players to know.
| Item | Livonia / Chernarus / Sakhal | Namalsk |
|---|---|---|
| Barrels / Sea Chests / Tents | 14 Days | 7 Days |
| Buried Stash (small containers only) | 14 Days | 7 Days |
| Improvised Shelters | 3 Days | 3 Days |
| Backpacks | 6 Hours | 2 Hours |
| Vehicles / Helicopters | 24 Hours | 24 Hours |
| Player Corpse | 60 Minutes | 15 Minutes |
Note: Player corpses may bug and despawn before their timer expires.
Make sure the game and launcher are fully closed before trying any of these options.
PBO errors are usually caused by a corrupted or outdated mod, or by using the in-game Play button instead of your launcher. Try these steps in order:
