What is DayZ? After the zombie apocalypse wiped out most of humanity, you try to survive in the survival MMO DayZ. To do this, you need to scour the landscape for anything you can use.
But dangers lurk everywhere. Not just in the form of the undead. You cannot trust other players either. PvP is an important aspect of the online game.
However, teamwork is also important. You should team up with other players to have better chances. This way, you explore the approximately 230 km² large world a bit more safely.
So many players does DayZ have: In the past 30 days, 9,916 players played DayZ at the same time. At peak times, it was 45,398 players.
This is what players think: DayZ is considered the ultimate zombie survival game. It has been in development for what seems like an eternity but still captivates. The launch on Steam has once again led to significant growth in player numbers. They love the principle despite the fact that the game is plagued by bugs.
- BrandonMS writes on Steam: “Still full of bugs and laggy. The mods don’t compensate for this and most modified servers are forgotten. Honestly, the fact that you can’t reload reliably a fifth of the time is enough.”
- Starscream believes: “I’m playing the game again after a long break and can’t believe how well it runs now. Mods make the game really fun again and you don’t want to stop playing it.”
This is what MeinMMO says about DayZ: DayZ exudes a very special charm. One overlooks the bugs. Because the survival principle is executed almost perfectly.
