Welcome to the world of DayZ, hit by a new and presently unknown infection which has wiped out most of the world's population. You are one of the few that have survived and now you must search this new wasteland in order to fight for your life against what is left of the indigenous population now infected with the disease. Go solo, team up with friends or take on the world, as you choose your path in this brutal and chilling landscape using whatever means you stumble upon to survive.
This is DayZ, this is your story.
DayZ is a gritty, authentic, open-world survival horror hybrid-MMO game, in which players follow a single goal: to survive in the harsh post-apocalyptic landscape as long as they can. Players can experience powerful events and emotions arising from the ever-evolving emergent gameplay. There are no superficial tips, waypoints, built in tutorials or help given to players. Every decision matters, there are no save games, no extra lives, every mistake can be lethal. If you fail, you lose everything and you need to play again from the beginning with nothing but your wits, and your two hands. Fight the hostile environment, where every other player can be friend or foe and nothing can be taken for granted.
KEY FEATURES IN ALPHA
Chernarus - 230 sq. km chunk of post soviet state, featuring deep forests, cities, villages, abandoned military bases, and more..
Up to 50 players per server - Rich server / client architecture developed from scratch.
Persistent player profile - Key player data is persistent across all servers.
Inventory – Combine various clothing items, equipment and carry all of the items that you will need to survive the harsh new environment in the open and intuitive inventory system developed to answer the needs of crafting and character customization.
Crafting - In the apocalyptic world of DayZ, resources are sparse and every useful bit should be utilized. Items or equipment can be improved, turned into something else or fixed using the new crafting mechanisms.
Weapon customization – Use customizable firearms with authentic ballistics and weapon characteristics as well as melee weapons to protect yourself against all the dangers a survivor may face.
Customizable clothing – Customize your survivor with a multitude of new clothing items that can be scavenged from the remnants of civilization, which provide various degree of protection against the elements, infected, and other survivors.
DayZ is currently in early alpha and we see a lot of work ahead of us in order to make it the true authentic multiplayer experience we want it to be. Current version is including only small subset of game mechanics and serves mostly as test bed with core technology that should serve as basis for future additions and improvements. Currently planned key future features are:
We estimate that reaching Beta version with all key features present will take more than one year from current stage. All features and plans listed here are subject to change, we may add or remove features as seen fit during development process.

My personal experienceWhile I absolutely agree the devs are lazy stuffs and dont update their game, at all. The game is still quite fun. They did promise a .60 patch wich will optimize the game by a ton, or thats what the devs said. They also promised that patch will be released february 2016. So yeah... Anyways, I actually do enjoy the game, if I play with a group of other people atleast. I only play alone when I am trying to find better gear. Also it gives you a lot of opportunities to jack off while you travel from point A to point B, not even joking. I usually travel from somewhere near the coast/beach to the north-west airfield wich usually is a 30-40 minute run depending on where you are. Anyway while playing in a group, or clan this game is allot more fun to be honest. Being alone is just getting your gear and once you got it... Now what? While in a group the chance of getting shot in the face is allot less thus that means you wont lose your precious gear. Well I still do but who cares. The game is still $30 wich is in my opinion not worth it. But if you really have nothing to do and want to spend some money, sure, go ahead. I did record some gameplay with me playing with a clan/group wich was quite fun. Its p much 1/3rd me running to the meeting point, wich I got wrong. 1/3rd me guarding the door and getting sniped in the face and 1/3rd me getting a good spawning point to get me gear back but I was too late. I linked the video in media so it should be there.
