I have no idea how I even got the game to be honest... could be a problem of buying too many packs... but yeah I was about to give it shot just the other day.

I am unsure of why you did not have to pay, yet. I was gifted a copy of the game, so I dunno about payments.

they may be going stand alone so that is something to look at http://www.gamespot.com/news/dayz-standalone-game-under-way-6390710

Day Z is also the only reason I have purchased ARMA II, and well don't do it alone... you NEED a group, soloing you find yourself dieing a lot, or a ♥♥♥♥ load of sneaking around... launcher six is your friend it downloads updates for the mod and allows you to join server a lot easier than the ARMA II Server browser... Honestly I haven't got as much into it as I would like, but I have been soloing so that might be why.

Hey Jer:) Long story short, I had already sold it, and got reminded when I tried to gift it to ya
