I will try out the new hotfix.  Yesterday I manually updated DayZ instead of running an auto updater and also made sure I had the most recent Arma 2 patch.  I have read that if you log onto a certain version server that it will log me into an aread that I just need to run 2km east.  I heard that Canada 2 has this but by the time I got on last night it was night on that server....   I look forward to playing night mode some time down the road but too soon for me still.

Thank you for the suggestions.  I will keep tinkering with it.  The game is too fun to give up on.

My longest has just been 3 days of about 5 hours each day.  I haven't been able to play because the game isn't working for me.  I always log into an empty area with no trees and I'm invisible.  I read that there is a hotfix coming or just came out today that I will try.  Hopefully it works because I have been down for 3 days and itching to hop back in. 

This is a screenshot of where I keep spawning:  http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197968406595/screenshot/578959576700167403

Sometimes there are people there and sometimes not.  None of them ever respond.

I just read on Arma's free site that you cannot play user created mods with the free edition.

I'm guessing you can't play mods with the Arma 2 free edition, right?  I have no problem with purchasing the game so either way I will be playing once I get home tonight.  I was eyeing up Iron Front all weekend on Steam and I'm glad I came across this instead.

I went into my house in Whiterun to find that girl inside.  I figured I could get away with killing her since she was an intruder.  Come to find out you can't hurt the children at all.  The guards came into my house once I attacked though.  You can't even Shield Charge them.  In a sick way it would have been funny to send them flying in the air even if they don't take damage...

Did they take out house decay?  I would think there shouldn't be so many vacant houses if that is still in place.

I only quit because of the scrolls that were about to be put in place to exceed your skills beyond 100.  I would play if I could get a shard that only went up to when Lumberjack Warriors were introduced.  I know this would mean Trammel would be in place, which I never went to, but I had a lot of fun with my lumberjack warrior.  So I guess even more perfect would be to have that and remove Trammel.

Looks like he is using his Pimp Gloves of Flaming Bowling Balls too.

I haven't played for a long time but I do miss logging in and figuring out what I wanted to do with that session.  In my recent MMO experiences I have been mostly focused on just leveling.  It was nice having runes marked to all my favorite places.  I even enjoyed doing the treasure map hunts when those were implemented.

Looks like 912 was skipped.  I'm claiming it!

692 Comin at yeaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!!

Has anyone who likes this mouse used it for any FPS games?  I still use the cursor keys on the keyboard and find myself running out of buttons to map that I can easily reach.  I know I should switch to WASD but have not yet.  I currently use a Logitech 700mx and have been for about 6 years.  I love the 2 thumb buttons but wouldn't mind having a few more.

Ice Age was the last expansion I played.  I recently reinstalled Shandalar with the XP/Vista fix and am hooked.  I'm not sure if I would play an MMO but I would definitely keep an eye on it.  I just got tired of all the new rules they added with each expansion.  I still have all my cards but am locked into only playing people who didn't move on from 1995.

I also loved Planetside.  What turned me off was the underground fighting.  In order to unlock the giant mechs they released your faction had to be in total control of the underground part of an island.  I didn't enjoy the look and feel of this battle area.

I use the Pulsar SX

I think it is pretty decent.  I have read reviews that people complain about the ear cups being too small, but it fits my ears fine.  I have not used it for great lengths so I'm not sure if it gets uncomfortable after awhile.  Vitrual 7.1 Surround Sound and you can turn on a feature that reacts to ingame actions by vibrating the headset. 

Also the microphone works really good.  You can position it however you need to and it registers your voice well.

Has anyone tried those Mana and Health energy drinks?  I don't drink energy drinks but thought it was funny and can't image they would be all that great.

I think Tasos announced that you will be able to transfer your characters.

From the article it looks like they are just saying we will start seeing more promoting of this game in the next couple of months.  If it is ready a release date in a couple of months would be awesome.  I'm looking forward to this title.

I have always paid with credit cards on MMO's and have had to put the information in even though the first month is included.
