DayZ almost at half a million players

Things keep looking up for DayZ, one of the most talked about games on the internet right now. The mod for Arma II that places players in an ultra-realistic zombie survival skirmish is acquiring members like crazy, and it doesn't look like it will slow down anytime soon.

We’ve got 420,000 now. We’ll have 430,000 tomorrow. Currently we’re running 22,000 concurrent at full peak, and 10,000 off peak, which is pretty huge numbers considering the original data structure and system was designed to handle 100 concurrents, and two servers… We now have 1000 servers. We’re getting 110,000 players in a 24 hour period at the moment.” - Dean Hall, DayZ Team

We're part of those numbers here at MMGN, with our community members actively jumping into the game with both hands. Check out our discussion and meet up in the treacherous island of Chernarus.
