I was wondering how long will it take for this topic to show up.
DayZ is very... appealing to me.
It's fun survival, great pvp, occasional harrasment by zombies and fresh experience because it's being quite different from other games/mods nowadays.
Thing sure misses a lot of stuff and has a load of bugs, but devs look enthusiastic about mod, so you can figure.
On the side note, one of the guys whom used to play FO2238 with me made an adaptation of dayz for lingor island, there are, however, few problems mentioned in comment to the vid.
