At ZERO, we try to showcase as many of the new
#DayZ
PC maps out there as we can and this one has grabbed our attention. Something a little different - Tropical, custom buildings, palm trees, etc.
If you want to try it out with all the normal ZERO sprinkles, ZERO EDEN is live!
Following the successful Duos weekend, i'm happy to announce the next. This will be an attempt to bring True Colours & SURVIVE together into one future PVE/PVP team format alongside the Duos.
Random teams of 4, in-game voip, map/weapon tier progressions, one life 🥶☠️
Info soon
Today is 4 months since I quit a job that I fell out of love with after 21 years. Mentally in a much better place, slowly reducing the brainfunk meds and love going live everyday on Twitch. Hopefully the channel continues to grow and we can do this for months to come ♥️ 🤞
Just wanted to let you know that I'm planning 2 new
#DayZ
events as well as another True Colours in May.
First is SURVIVE - a take on the old Survivor Games format. Livonia, 1 starting place, teams of 2, 3 zones, 1 life. You will need more than pure PVP skills to survive.
(1/2)
I've always been a 'less is more' kinda man so as it's been almost a year since my last
#DayZ
event and life things are starting to settle down a bit, i'm happy to say that today I actually started work on....
S U R V I V E - Winter Chernarus
This will be 4-player random teams…
Can't wait for the
@DayZ
1.19 features to come to Stable on Tuesday but I also CAN'T WAIT to get on the annual ZERO 'Winter Survival' server!
Challenging but not impossible...You'll cry but want more. Survival and not just PVP.
💙🥶💙
So I put live an ZERO Esseker server this morning after way too many requests in Discord. Will continue to work on the customisations this week but there's basically more hunting areas, more derelict buildings, more military camps, updates to existing areas amongst other things.
Hey, guess what?!
Before I head off to sleep, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who has been there whilst we played the 'Dead Game' for years. Its been a long road but hard work, integrity and good times have paid off.

Chernarus has always been my favourite map and I've been involved with hosting it for well over 6 years in various shapes and forms.
I fully believe in the ZERO Chernarus version and in order to give more people the chance to try it, we're upping the pop and running it on…
It's finally happening...
48 players, 8 random teams of 6. In-game comms only.

That was INCREDIBLE to watch. Big thanks to all the players - hope it was fun to play and not as stressful as it looked!
Shout-out to
@JoshuaInsomnia
and the admins for helping out on the day.
GG Team Orange and
@MattPommy
for being the last man standing.
@DayZ
I don't think there's been a day gone by where I haven't been asked to bring back Esseker on ZERO.
Well, its back for now with some great additions so go cause mayhem again like you used to!

( 1PP | Jungle PVP | No Base Building )

The map is now finished, so we've put live a ZERO BANOV server for you all to check out. Same ZERO goodness, vanilla-feel and one flying thing 👀

@ZERODAYZSERVERS
Making the hard decision to postpone the SURVIVE event this weekend. 1.19 on Stable compared to Exp feels a little off and i’d rather wait to see what next week’s hotfix does than run into big problems on the day.
Hopefully we can run it in the next few weeks.
Really sorry 😞
The time/ effort / work we put in as a team to make ZERO a set of
#DayZ
community servers for all, makes me proud when I see this. ESPECIALLY seeing our new lightly-modded Chernarus full every night with queues. Building something from nothing is hard, folks but never stop trying
Just want to let you know that I really appreciate the generous support over the weekend. We opened a new emote slot and are only 64 away from another one. I missed quite a few alerts because of the events so here’s a big THANK YOU now <3
Thanks to everyone that took part today in the
#SURVIVEDAYZ
event and tuned in on Twitch. We had thousands watching across all the channels. Same again tomorrow 👍
@DayZ
Oh, not another event. Yeah, sorry about that...
To celebrate
@DayZ
1.19 ~ SURVIVE LIVONIA will take place on Sat 22nd and Sun 23rd October.
This is a live-streamer Duos event.
A Halloween event will follow the weekend after.
New registration site should be live in 2 weeks.
Hit a year full-time streaming last week and the support over the last month has been WILD. I reached a new sub milestone today and I couldn’t have done it without the support of many special people in my little community.
Really happy I decided to give this a go - big love ❤️
Ok, I’ve somehow managed to get 80, yes 80

streamers to play in 2
@DayZ
events on the 19th and 20th of this month. I’m now adding reserves in case of drop outs. Awesome!
Check out the ZERO Discord and look at the ZERO Events channel for who’s playing and on what day.
Remember folks, there’s no ‘right’ way to play that game we love. There are servers out there that cater for everyone. You want bases, do bases. You want more guns and PVP, go get the pew pew. You want monster madness, go for it. No one should make you feel bad for having a…
Time to add another *old* map to the monthly server rotation. ZERO Takistan has been an absolute blast for the last 4 weeks but today we move to Valning on for the next month. There's naturally a few extras chucked in so have a look at the Discord.
Search for ZERO VALNING
A great bunch of
@DayZ
streamers have registered for the SURVIVE event weekend. You'll recognise some, maybe not others which is EXACTLY what I want from my events. You might just find a channel that you really like that you never knew existed.

Happy to say that we're keeping Deer Isle permanent on ZERO and investing more into
#DayZ
for the next 12 months at least.
More detailed announcement in the Discord.
'We' decided live on stream that a vanilla (no mods) Chernarus server was needed without base building. So we now have one.
ZERO CHERNARUS (Vanilla / No Basebuilding)
See you at Tisy.
I've just put a new WIP server live that offers something a little different to our other ZERO servers.
ZERO CHERNARUS (Less Loot, More Pain, More Survival)
Boxed ammo is rare, rifles harder to find, more animals, less food, zeds break down doors, mili zeds will ruin your life.
Today I've made one of the biggest decisions of my life, something I've needed to do for the long term sake of my mental health and well being. Scary AF but you just have to trust your gut sometimes.
We hit 25,000 follows today on
@TwitchUKI
!
Not much by some people's standards but for someone like me who streamed once a week after work with 0 viewers for ages and no YT channel, I have to be proud of that.
Don't give up if you're just starting out - if I can do it, anyone…
Just want to say thanks to everyone who’s been hanging out and supporting me this week. We’ve been live around 8-9 hrs every day and it’s been awesome exploring Deer Isle with you guys watching.
Today was the 1st day without serotonin meds since 2019 - hope it continues 🖤
We said goodbye for another year to our Winter Chernarus server today but don't fear, there's another challenge awaiting you on ZERO Chernarus Survival. Something a little tougher than Vanilla with some nice, custom map locations.
SURVIVE x LIVONIA Day 2 just finished and congrats to
@Pelusilla_
and
@TommyPalmex
for the win. Not perfect but amazing for a first-time doing this new format.
Incredible to watch and shout-cast.
Thanks admins for the help, players for the plays and chat for the support 🙏
Hey, pssst...did you know that we run some pretty sweet
@DayZ
PC servers with no bases apart from tents, shelters, barrels and stashes?

- ZERO BANOV
- ZERO DEER ISLE
- ZERO MELKART

We've had queues of over 60 all night on our ZERO ESSEKER server so we pushed another live now so more people can play rather than queue.

PP smashed for the 3rd month in a row according to my Twitch Dashboard - let’s god damn go!
An amazing achievement for a channel of my size.
Thank you so much for believing, supporting and pushing me to be a better creator.
Good luck to anyone else working hard for it at the…
Have a great weekend, people! We just finished an UNBELIEVABLE week for me and the channel, smashing all kinds of sub-counts, and emote slot unlocks. Appreciate the amazing support and community we’ve built together. See you on Monday 🍻

Today is TRUE COLOURS on Deer Isle. Weeks and weeks of prep, i'm knackered but an amazing set of
@DayZ
players taking part all across Twitch and YT will get me though it.
I'll be shoutcasting the event so you get all the action.
LET'S GO!
When it rains, it pours....
If you want to try the new modded Esseker map out, ZERO ESSEKER is now live.
Pure vanilla at the moment to see what its all about but may add some of the ZERO skins at some point.
ZERO ESSEKER ( Survival | PVP | Interaction)
Just want to say that the last couple weeks have been great and I appreciate you popping in to the streams and hanging out when you can. Haven’t giggled so much in ages 😂
Genuinely hope I can continue doing this full-time for as long as possible 👍
Been a cracker of a 2022 and I’m so glad I took the leap and tried the full-time streaming gig this year.
Many plans for 2023 to try and keep growing and I look forward to sharing it with whoever wants to come along for the ride.
See you on Monday in 2023.
🎉🍾🥳
Well, here we go... Day 001 of Full-time streaming. Lets see what we can build now that I can stream more than a couple times a week! Trying out the new

1.19 Experimental launching this Thursday, I’m just letting you know that our ZERO EXPERIMENTAL ( 1PP / Vanilla ) server will be available to play on if you can’t get on to the Official servers. We’ll have shorter night times / 4hr restarts as normal. Can’t wait!
Mad - coming up to 12 months since I decided to pack in the corporate games industry life after 25 years and attempt the full-time streaming / content creation.
We’ll do something to celebrate it in a week or so 🍾
⚠️ THIS SUNDAY ⚠️
An event truly for all the
@DayZ
PC community.
Some of your fav DayZ streamers are playing as well as some of the Devs. Its gonna be a great wknd for DayZ.
@JoshuaInsomnia
and I will be casting the whole thing on our Twitch channels.
It's wipe day on the ZERO
#DayZ
servers so please be advised that we've also moved hardware and now have some new IP addresses:
Chernarus - (51.89.234.132 :2302)
Namalsk - (51.89.234.132 :2402)
Deer Isle - (51.89.155.180 :2302)
Esseker - (51.89.155.180 :2402)
Rotating Map…
Need positive vibes 😞
We just found our poor little ginger and white cat, Trevor, badly injured under a van after he didn’t come home last night and he’s now at the emergency vets getting x-rays and ultrasounds. Looks like a hit by a car but unsure at the mo.
Will update…
A few things we've changed today on ZERO:
- Less inventory space on some items (WIP).
- Tweaked some gun audio.
- Spray paint things like the new improvised clothing, sledgehammers and yellow NBC suits.
- Less boxed ammo / more stacks of ammo.
...and much more.
Interested?
Pssst - I've just put another server live. When it rains, it pours!
No map, no trader, no gps, no player names, less base building... basically, new vehicles, environments, guns and adjusted loot table.
Will be making more adjustments but its now LIVE!
@DayZ
#MyDayZ
Pretty proud of this one and it’s been so good for my well-being. 2 weeks ago this was completely covered in grass and weeds. Still is in parts BUT I’ve now got about 300 veggies and flowers in and it’s looking glorious!
So many maps out there for
@dayz
at the moment either getting polished or just starting their beta development - hats off to you map makers out there! ♥️
It's the weekend! If you're playing
#DayZ
- why not try out:
ZERO NAMALSK, SUMMER CHERNARUS, BANOV or ESSEKER
Lightly-modded, great admins and an established community that is continually growing. Always a good time!
Spent 4 days working on the new ZERO Esseker server for the community and haven't been able to stream because of it. Soooo, today is about me. Me, me, me, me and me 🙃
See you as soon as I've had a bit of brekkie.
Our HappyBombs DayZ Community Server is back! If you're looking for another Vanilla option aimed more at interaction and PVP, why not give it a try. Will be holding regular PVP nights again like the good ol' days. Search for 'HappyBombs' in your server browser.

We've had lots of requests in the last 2 weeks for a

Livonia server, so here you go.
Check out the Discord if you want to read more about some of the changes.
Play it if you want, ...no biggie if you don't.
EVERY time I play
@DayZ
Experimental, the ol' vanilla Chernarus reminiscing kicks in and I go all soppy and rose-tinted.
Sometimes you just wanna chill so i've put up a vanilla (no mods) server if you want to do vanilla things.
There are a million vanilla servers out there but…
Valning has been fun but it's time is up.
The next map (as voted by the ZERO
@DayZ
community) will be PRIPYAT. A map that's still in development but looks like there's enough there to have a good time for 4 weeks. Can't wait!
Chat message…
“Still playing f***ing Tarkov! That’s the last time I’m coming here for DayZ content”.
I think I’ve made it, mummy.
Apologies for playing a different game for a few days, folks - 20 lashings with the leather strap incoming.
Event cancelled today - will let you know if tomorrow's is on with a different map. Sometimes shit don't work even tho it has in the past and its been tested. Sorry to mess you all around 😥
Either mad or committed - determined to get out for a walk every morning before the stream, come rain or shine. Today was mental out there on the coastal path!
The reality of growing some of your own fruit and veg but a little hard graft never killed anyone… Now for some breakfast and then I’ll be live on Twitch for another day of shenanigans 😉
Morning all! Sorry for not going live yesterday in the end. Was making such good progress on the next True Colours Deer Isle event that I just lost the day. Sucks but kinda cool too.
Event will more than likely be the first week of June so...small test run next week? Hell yeah💀
That's me for a few days - have a great Christmas everyone and thank you to those that came for a run with me today, PVP'd with us and tuned in to watch.
Doing this is an absolute pleasure and I couldn't ask for a better bunch of people to come & hang out with me on Twitch 🎄♥️
[ L I V E ]
ZERO DEER ISLE has returned now the update has finally arrived so i'm looking forward to exploring the map again.
1PP, lightly-modded, no bases (only tents and shelters), 70 players - if that takes your fancy, come and have a look.
Thanks for all the kind get well messages. Now I know what most of you went through when you caught it too. Bloody awful, right. Day 3 for me and today I feel like a freshie who’s just woken up from uncon on Eden’s Long Beach, surrounded by 4 players with Brass Knuckles 😵💫
Military Compound ZERO now live on ZERO Esseker. I started this on Thursday whilst live on Twitch and chat had some great ideas. Go loot and fight it out - night time is pretty sweet down there with the tower spotlights illuminating stuff. Tense AF!
Oh hi - what’s been happening? Finally have internet installed and we’re in the new place! A bit of a cardboard box city and the new landlord is popping in tomorrow morning but I should be live after that.
Knackered is an understatement but I’m so happy to be back!
2nd update on the Trev situation:
- now they’ve had a closer look at him, it looks like it’s more likely to be a car as he has other injuries that are common with that. Guess that’s better than someone going around hurting cats.
- 2 fractures so he’s going to have to have…
Just a quickie to say that ZERO Winter Chernarus is now live!
A much more simpler, 'back to basics' approach with many QoL and cool additions.
This and Takistan are by far the most requested maps we get asked to put live so I hope you have fun with it this year.
Discord for…
Register for the ridiculous, non-pvp ‘Great Easter Animal Hunt’ DayZ PC Event via this Google Form.
Must register as a duo so find your team mate first before submitting!
We did this last year and it was one of the silliest things ever 😂
Second is the return of last year's Easter Animal Hunt. One of the funniest events I've ever done.
No PVP; just pure fun collecting as many different animals as you can against a score card. The ending was absolutely hilarious 😂
Keep your eyes peeled for more info.

I hit 20 years working at the same company today - Jeeezuz! Damn, the games industry has changed a lot in that time but proud of what I’ve produced/worked on over the years.

on Twitch and are interested in playing in the 1st SURVIVE Duos event on Melkart (Sat 19th March @ 3pm GMT)? Let me know here with a reply. Just want to gauge numbers.

players, we've implemented a new armour damage system that we've built in an attempt to bring back the old days of more unconscious states rather than insta-deaths. Hopefully this will result in more interesting player situations. Test results as below 👍

Just a quick one to say that I've closed the registrations for the next True Colours
#DayZ
event already as the response has been insane. A 48 player event and already over 160 applications.
Sorry you can't all play but keep an eye on my Twitter for the next events tho👀
I love how server hosting is like some dick-waving competition for some people. Concentrate on your own shit - just because someone does it different to you, doesn’t mean it’s bad. So ridiculous.
Looking forward to
@DayZ
1.19 Exp today.
Let’s fill every Exp server out there (both Official + Community) and test the hell out of it to make the Stable version as solid as it can be. Be sure to use the feedback tracker to get the info to the devs:
So, it’s my birthday tomorrow. I’ve been working all weekend on the next ZERO map after Valning and I think it’s in a good place to get a few people on for a test run. Still more work to do before the 6th but I think it could be fun exploring, pvping, etc.
Info on stream tmrw.
Struggling with the ol’ brain box at the moment - not sure what’s brought it on but hoping to be back streaming tomorrow. Maybe its just the winter blues but it sucks 😞
There will always be the snide little digs, the horrible jealousy and the blaming of everyone else but the individual(s) themselves.
Pay no attention to it - it’s not worth wasting your energy on. Leave them to it.
Concentrate on you and people around you that make you happy.
The official
#DayZ
Play Test for Alteria is now over but i've put the server back up with a few extra civilian clothing options, vanilla weapon skins and some other QoL stuff. A very light touch, no modded weapon packs, etc, as they are not needed imo.
Will leave it up so more…
