Been playing DayZ on a private Hive server lately, everyone is a lot more friendly than the official hive servers. People on the server I play on don't shoot you on sight, and not everyone is a bandit.
I have a idea to get a chopper and airlift random people to random parts of the map in exchange for rare items like cans of mountain dew or grenades.
Power does not corrupt. Fear corrupts... perhaps the fear of a loss of power.
