Larger servers tend to suffer from PVP issues, specially in the only city on the map at the moment.
But there have been times I've been able to team up with a random player on smaller servers, raid around a town then meet again at the end and share resources then go off in our own directions.
It honestly all depends on the server size and who is playing, either way going alone is risky, its better to play with a friend if you know one.
I've had more fun in this game than I've ever had in DayZ. And not even half of the features are in-game yet.

I'm just happy that we have a proper zombie survival game without broken legs "[I]feature[/I]". God, I hated that in DayZ. Just casually strolling around, jumping down from a safe height and then... [B]snap[/B]. Crawl around for 20 minutes searching for a magical syringe to get you on your feet.
Also, for players concerned about PvP, just join a server with around 10 players. There are a lot less snipers or bandits who shoot on sight.
for players concerned about PvP, stop running around in the open with no weapons screaming friendly at everything that moves

I agree.
Though it's mostly bad just because of the fact the map is so small right now.
Once it opens up it should settle down.
Every time I try that the server always gets filled within like 5-10 minutes...
And the server browser isn't working for me, so I cant look up servers :(
[QUOTE] It's friday and I think this is time for some update.
First of all let me give you some numbers :
- We have passed 200,000 survivors, with over 130,000 being playing game so far in last two weeks.
- Over 75,000 are playing game daily.
- On average over 10,000 survivors are playing game at any given time.
- We've deployed over 600 server instances, and at the moment we've completely solved problem getting into the game - most time it's instant, and also most of the time except "busy hours" you can join server you like thru server browesr since we've distributed load across all servers.
We're preparing relative large "Halloween" update, including new map areas unlocks, new zombie types, new playable characters, clans, etc, etc.
Next I want to go over some problems raised by Community :
1) Spawn Camping. Was a huge deal for us, as well as most of the community. I'm glad to tell you that after some changes to spawn mechanics we've introduced in past days, number of spawn kills ( ie player being killed in a relative proximity of his spawn point ) went down SEVEN times. This is good first step and I'm sure a we're unlocking more map areas, it will stop being and issue at all.
2) PKers. As I've said numerous times, PVP itself as well as whole existence of bandits is an natural part of the gameplay. Yet there wasn't many mechanics in place yet to actually make it worthy for players to try to cooperate instead of shooting on sight. Most of thiose mechanics, as well as excessive PK deterrant ( msot wanted board, bounty hunting missings, etc ) are coming on later stages of alpha ( ie - SOON ), but they're not here yet. This is why we may have PVP at somewhat unhealthy levels right now. Yet - I think it's actually pretty cool even now, when you kinds in a constant state of paranoia and not trusting anyone except your friends. Which brings us to next topic :
3) Clans And Friends. We've tested clans and ready put them in. We're at final stages testing Friends feature with 20,000 players under NDA, as long we're satisfied with stability of Friends notifications and "play with friends" mechanism - we'll turn it on for rest of the player base.

Any news on a wipe before beta/release, or are the people who server hopped through alpha going to keep their stuff?
[QUOTE=Omali;38196021]Any news on a wipe before beta/release, or are the people who server hopped through alpha going to keep their stuff?[/QUOTE]
No time on when its gonna happen but your stats and inventories are certainly getting wiped and replaced with the beginner pack, flashlight etc from the sounds.
Will be happening to everyone, so everyone looses their current kit.

Yes, everything is being wiped except for your characters, but there stats are being wiped so it doesent evne matter. Essentially everything is getting wiped for beta not sure for release
So are we going to have a clan for facepunch set up soon?
We still have the name Facepunch Republic in mind, right?
[QUOTE=Daemon White;38196245]We still have the name Facepunch Republic in mind, right?[/QUOTE]
Can't really do anything in the way of Clans until they actually implement the groups feature and strongholds
[QUOTE=Daemon White;38196245]We still have the name Facepunch Republic in mind, right?[/QUOTE]
There are several groups for facepunchers already, but there is simply too many facepunchers for all of them to be in a single group/clan.
Well this update killed my install....
I don't think there's a limit to how many people will be in a clan.
I also wonder if there's gonna be a reddit clan, 4chan clan, and a 9gag clan... I hope not, but if there is, it's gonna be a clan war of the internets.
So where *will we be able to* access the clan info/area?
We access it when it's released. And I imagine it'll be in the safezones.

If it gets to that, it'll probably be more fun to be a loner... or just playing with your friend.
I'm pretty sure if 4chan or 9gag were to create a clan, they would have people betraying them and even in our clan there could be people like that doing it behind everyone's backs. It just depends on clan management and how serious everyone will take it.
I for one love teamwork, but it's hard to find good players that won't turn on you, so I think the clan system will help a lot with that!
as soon fortificating and clans are added i know what i will do
join to the glorious FP clan and build our own society using barriacades n shit
NO ONE WILL BEAT OUR BUTT HOLES
So is anyone grouped up in mumble right now? I'd love to join.

I've already kind of got a following going in WarZ, I'm not sure if I should make a clan and be allied with Facepunch or just integrate everyone into FP clan
