Arguably all DayZ players know Chernarus, the first and biggest map for DayZ. But what seems huge in the beginning, isn't huge anymore. Assumed you played it a while. For most players Chernarus is like a second home and new alternative DayZ maps couldn't hype as much as Chernarus does. Replacing fir with palms or arrange buildings differently hasn't made a Chernarus killer. The numbers of players on alternative DayZ map servers are showing this issue obviously. These shiny new maps get played when they are new, but most players return to Chernarus shortly after.

DayZ's latest console update seems tiny, but datamined files reveal what Bohemia is really preparing for 2026. Here's what players missed.

DayZ Frostline DLC gets review-bombed for its price and content. Dev responds, saying "No one is forcing players to buy it."
Yes, I saw that! The DayZ Frostline DLC has indeed faced a lot of backlash from players who feel that the $26.99 price tag is too high for what's included. The DLC adds a new snow-covered map called Sakhal, but many players feel it doesn't offer enough new content to justify the cost.
Bohemia Interactive's CEO, Marek Spanel, responded to the criticism by pointing out that the studio has received very little revenue per hour of gameplay from the game over the years. He even referenced the Beatles song "Please Please Me" in his response, highlighting the frustration with the situation.
It's definitely a heated debate.

DayZ has now managed to hit its new all-time-high player numbers with the release of the new Frostline expansion.
2 much hacks and cheats in day z,war z is better
Disagree, your statement wont apply to private hives. Check http://mydayz.de/en/hive
@ atielite WarZ looks pretty good I don't know why people are slating it. and its ALPHA. PS the arma 2 is not exactly pretty and it runs like a dog.
@ norrison and @blacktric you are both wrong
Warz: you cant buy all items, if you actually had read the forums you would know, you can only buy gold coins for really money which has restrictions to stop pay to win. The rest is in game dollars or zombie stem sells so you have to find or trade for them.
Back OT: I stopped playing Dayz because i had nothing to do but put up with glitches bandits and lack of content. when standalone hits ill give it another try.
