Should I resurrect this? Yes, I think I shall. Any plans on doing this again? We've had an influx of new players as well as a bunch of old players that came back. DayZ is now on both playstation AND xbox consoles.

Lets have a meeting game for 2019. I'd suggest deer isle, just to make it next to impossible to actually meet up

Oh Boy! Can't wait :D

OOOH!

Keep an eye on my channel, there is an event coming soon.

YEAH!

First post of 2017! Yay

Oh your right XD, now only one guy remains, and yes faffing about!

Oh and one of the other guys, Drew, has posted further down the page JohnSilva, his name is CA9j7Dx5KS <3 Nice, France. I don't think the fifth guy has though so I guess he is MIA.

@JohnSilva... Faffing about? FAFFIMG ABOUT? why you cheeky little... thing that is cheeky! LooL

I spawned at Nizhnoye, made my way to gorka and ended up at the green house where another player was already there. After waiting a bit 2 more players arrived and so we went back to Gorka to loot a bit more. There we found another player, Molly. We found 2 other guys at some tents in the way and as i was ready to shoot them about 5 meters away i realised that the rest of my group was miles back looting and faffing about -_- . So I let them go. The we reached the NW airfield where there where now only 3 of us, since 1 player logged out and another died of cholera *cough cough* molly *cough cough*. We heard SVD shots from the tents as were at the bunkers and so we approached, there were at least 2 guys, and as we approached they started shooting at us. As we where flanking around them i got shot, since i was pretty dehidrated and black and white i imedeatly died. Thats the story,a bit uneventfull Dont even know if the other 2 guys stayed alive. But either way it was fun. John Silva

Thanks for sharing your story Chris, I will definitely try to improve the people that show up and that there is more to do in the next DayZ Meeting game. :)

Check out the first video of the DayZ Meeting Game by CamCANTRUN!

I really enjoyed watching it!

forgot to post this after the meeting game, i liked the idea of this i just wished everyone showed up and there was more structure to this. anyway i met up with my squad of 3, dimitri, neil and myself (chris), we waited 20 mins for more people but nothing happened so we took our venture to pavlova. it was good getting know neil and dimitri but we didint see a single player, even at pavlova, where we waited 45 mins for anyone to show but once again nothing. we all came to an agreement to end our lifes on top of the hospital that is there. we all got on our knees with guns to our heads and well that was that. here is my screenshot before the blood was blasted all over the roof. https://steamproxy.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=725944396 thanks rene,i hope u do another meeting game but add some sort of structure to get everyone on the server to actually meet, it was fun well it lasted lol

That's the plan! Aiming for friday. :)

Sounds like your group had loads of fun mrlawlman1, I hope Rene is making a video of it :D

However, just outside Cherno Rene crashed the car and we scrapped it. Another new spawn came from the ocean. Johnson (me) couldn't take it and tried to put shotgun to head, but was saved by a swift strike to the head from Rene. After being subdued I regained my cool temporarily. I waited until Rene was just far enough, and ended the night on a bang.

Thanks to everyone in my group and especially Rene for hosting/playing. Had a lot of fun and will be looking forward to the next one. Cheers - Mrlawlman1 aka John Lawlman aka Johnson :)

*read from bottom to top in comments*

We charge in and immediately notice a man looting the barracks through the window. We order him to stop, but upon failure to do so, pop him in the legs. I take him for dead and begin looting his body, but when he wakes up we subdued him and returned (most of) his gear, and sent him on his way.

While holding the base, as per orders, a man approached with hands raised, and correctly answered the verbal challenge, so we accept him as the long lost brother of our group. We left notes telling our story in a barrel as we left.

We chose to head to Cherno to find some other survivors, but at Balota airfield, our new companion tried to chip a piece of Rene's skull, resulting in an mp5 magazine to the chest. We were down to four now, as another had logged earlier. We conveniently found a car and fixed it up to finish our journey to Cherno. while there, we found one new spawn, and took him along to Elektro.

Fast forward about an hour later and I have met up with two more, a Mr. Snow and Pie. We put our spare loot in a community barrel and trade around, when all of a sudden we hear a "Protect" from the bushes! We reply back For Chernarus and out emerged a man who called himself Rene (;D)

We decide on a democratic party system for the group and settle things by votes. We choose to avoid the dangerous north military bases and head to our objective at Pavlovo military base. We have some silly antics along the way, but arrive together, if a little delayed.

I logged on to the server after receiving the note thinking that the meetup time was 1 hour earlier than it was. This of course had me in a rush to get there or risk being left behind. I quickly looted a shotgun and got it loaded up. While on my way out of berezino I heard a voice greeting me from down the block. I began trying to talk but I couldnt figure out where/how he saw me. As I round the corner turns out he was talking to someone else, and I had just given myself away. I decided to try the challenge. Protect! ... "For Chernarus" To my surprise he was one of the group, however the one he was initiallly talking to was not. He didn't talk so we left him on his way.

After getting to know Kale/Kyle a bit (he was scottish), we hurried to the destination, thinking we were running very late. We arrived together but the location was empty. I noticed the building seemed untouched though, so we decided to wait to see if people were running even more late than us.

Also check this story someone emailed to me.

When I got there, there already were four people! We waited a bit and we started traveling towards Pavlovo, the sky got darker and darker and I predicted it was going to rain. It rained hard and long. We were cold but we made several fires on the way and we found a heatpack.

When we arrived there was a random not talking survivor and we managed to take all the zombies down and he got knocked out int he process. We healed him up and we send him on his way. There was someone else there who was waiting for us, later he turned on us.

We found a car and drove to Cherno, one guy suicided and we continued our journey to Electro, but we were barely out of cherno and I crashed the car. We tied someone up because he tried to kill him self, someone else undressed him because we didn't want him to have any ammo, than of course a random showed up asking what we were doing.. haha! Was a lot of fun. Check some pictures on twitter: https://twitter.com/BarelyInfected/status/754475489734041600

No worries, I ran like 8km without shoes because I spawned in completely naked and couldn't find any, though I looted up pretty well. Finally at Pavlovo I've found the perfect shoes for my sore feet, so all is good in the end. Next time.

Fun one logged, someone died of cholera, heard shots at the tents and went back, lost our 3rd so it was me and one other, went around trying to kill the guys in the sandbag bunker, shot one rand around more till I got shot from the side and died, fun want to know how the last in the group did after I died.

Sorry IR, I think we already left by tghat point, since the message we took 20 mins to get there and we stayed around for 20 more or so. After that we headed to cherno. It's over now for our group at least.

Five in my group, one had to log for work and I died of cholera. i lasted for three hours though. We went around a lot of military tents, cooked and ate some chicken, then some more tents, then death. Two guys didn't have headsets but we managed well I think.

Well I got to Pavlovo on the apocalypse server, nobody there, had a good run tough.

@Law #RIPCOD, we were with the two of us, so we decided to wait for a 70 mins more to be sure no one had mistaken the time. After no one else we ran to Pavlovo, were we dual suicided one the roof after a small hour of no encounters at 1:50 CEST. We had some fun, a good jogg and made some roadtrip pictures (http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/498029230794031704/5E5F599E8C95C182A105476111C833F3F6FFDDF4/) and stuff. I will surely sighn up for the next one, hoping to be part of a bigger group. -Jan Ballestaaf

Still active @ Apocalyse now?

It was ok for me. There was 4 of us at start and then we picked one more friendly guy along the way. I was recording but nothing epic happened unfortunately. We had fun though

This was kind of a fail :( we ended up in pavlovo base with only 3 players in our group and ther e was noone there for half an hour, so we decided to just all suicide at the top of hospital :(

Not really, the goal is that the group decides it by themselves. That's why everything is a bit vague.

Is anything scripted after group gets to the location? Are there multiple group interactions etc? Would like to move now but I dont want to if someone is coming here by any chance

We are still traveling.

For the ones that still have time and are interested, join us at Pavlovo at [GER/EN]Apocalypse Now! |HIGH LOOT|DAY|EVENTS|RP&FP 185.62.204.51:2602

I couldn't find my group that started at Gorka on #1. Was anyone else a part of that group?

we had 5 then the server went down

:(

Ah.... Got killed on the way, too bad

That really sucks guys. There were supposed to be 10 people in each group. You were each in a batch of 10 people. :( My group has 5.

Well, that's just lovely, I was looking forward to this. Anybody knows what's up? People are just not participating?

Alone as well

I'm alone too, starting to wonder.

7 minutes before meeting time and im still alone here...strange...

DayZ Meeting Game has started, check your inboxes!

@Lebowski: did you use this name?

@joaompsilva: Like molly says a mic is very handy, people might trust you less, you can buy a headset for a few bucks in a random shop man. :)

Sorry for sending an application, because I can't play. My drivers are up to date, but currupt, and the drivers are not available anymore for my pc :(

Hi joao, I think it would probably easier with a mic, but not essential. Maybe ask Rene on his Twitter or YouTube account to be sure though :D

Is a mic obligatory?

Excited for this, sounds like alot of fun :D

I can help out with things if required - just hit me up with whatever you need of me & I will see if I can be of assistance. Otherwise I look forward to July the 16th :^)

I saw that Rene, as we say here... Crikey!

Holy shit, this event got featured on the latest DayZ Status Update. I'm surely gonna need some help organizing this. :)
