A community server is a private server hosted by players or groups, independent from Bohemia Interactive's official servers. It sets its own rules, mods, loot rates and atmosphere (PvP, PvE or RP). These servers deliver varied experiences, often richer and more customized than the official vanilla mode.
To join a server, launch DayZ, open the built-in server browser, then filter by name, map or ping. On PC, the DayZ Launcher automatically downloads the required mods before connecting. Save the IP address or add favourites to quickly find your preferred server each session.
A vanilla server runs DayZ in its original form, unmodified, exactly as designed by the developers. A modded server adds mods: new weapons, vehicles, maps, base-building or economy systems. Modded servers, available mainly on PC through the Steam Workshop, offer a customized and often more accessible experience.
In PvP, player-versus-player combat is allowed everywhere and tension is at its highest. In PvE, the focus is survival against the environment, with little or no fighting between players. In RP (roleplay), everyone plays a character with a backstory. Choose according to the style of play you want.
Yes, DayZ is a paid game: you must own a copy on Steam, Xbox or PlayStation to join any server. To play on the Sakhal map, the paid Frostline expansion is also required. Bohemia Interactive offers no free version and no permanent trial.

Hands down, the most fun I've had on dayz in years. Cursed Zone is on a different level. You'll die 10 times before your first real start, but so worth it. Best community.
