However, despite being a role play server, PvP is still a large part of the experiences in DayZ. Currently we have a pub that is open during the evenings as well as a safe zone where no PvP is allowed during certain times. Players have therefore taken upon them to create hotspots where most of the time you can meet other players. Of course we also try to keep things realistic, so we have a lore surrounding the events in game and all characters must abide by it and make their own stories compatible with it.Īs it stands one server holds only 60 players, and with a large open world like that it is sometimes difficult to find other players to role play with. We have a bunch of rules that restrict the abusive kind of role play, but other than that it is up to your imagination. Since DayZ is an open world game with no real objectives it is very much up to the player to choose how role playing will be done or whom you can role play as. For the ones who are unknown to DayzRP, can you tell us a little bit about how roleplaying within DayZ works?

We keep our DayZRP Mod legacy close to heart though, for many these were unforgettable moments that will never be forgotten. However, with time the popularity of DayZ Mod wavered and once DayZ Standalone was released in early access most of the DayZ players switched to that, and so did we. It was really hard to keep up, I distinguishably remember having over 1000 pending whitelist applications in our system and me and the admins pulled long evenings reviewing them all for a few weeks. That’s also the time when we got featured in gameplay videos of large YouTubers which resulted in waves of literally thousands of players trying to join the community. Especially 20 are considered the golden age of DayZRP, we had our own customized DayZ Mod with active developers which we distributed through our own launcher.
If they were still here we’d probably be up around 150,000 accounts by now. What happened to that little roleplay community you started back then?Īctually, we switched the website system last year, which also resulted in all unused accounts being deleted from the system. Fast forward to current times, last time I checked you guys had a total of 28,426 forum members (very impressive!). I wanted to create an environment where players would have to interact with each other in some way, which made things much more interesting and prevented frustrating deaths where you get killed by a sniper from hundreds of meters away and have to start over.Īfter several months as a no-KoS server the interest and our numbers grew and so I what started as a simple passworded server turned into the largest whitelisted role play community for DayZ. Can you give us a rundown on how & when you guys started and what your initial goal was?ĭayZRP started as a simple no-KoS (kill on sight) server, intended as an alternative to the public servers where players just killed each other. Hey Rolle, thanks for taking the time to have a chat with us. I was curious to hear his story on how their journey went from starting a roleplay community which grew this big and successful.
With over 28.000 forum members and great exposure on platforms like Youtube they have left their mark on the whole DayZ community in general. Founded in July 2012, DayzRP has become the biggest roleplay community within the game.
Due to the recent announcement of DayZ (finally) leaving Alpha it looks like the right time to sit down with Rolle who is one of the owners of DayzRP.
