== Server Names == Choosing the right server can affect the quality and -- to a lesser extent -- the difficulty of your gameplay through factors like player traffic. Many DayZ servers use a generally accepted naming convention, which makes it easier to digest information about the server's settings and location at a glance. Choosing the right server parameters will help you play with options that match your preferences and can potentially help you avoid language challenges if that is a concern. Server owners are usually able to set the name to anything they want however, and custom names may not follow this convention or provide all the same information. A common convention of server naming is as shown: <pre> DayZ <City/State/Province> <Server Number> (<Difficulty/Settings/Other Info>) <DayZ Version Number> - hosted by <Server Host> </pre> Breakdown: * City/State Province: Set to give a general location of where a particular server is located. In the US, usually this will contain the city or state. In other locations, it may contain a country name or territory name. * Server Number: This number is used to distinguish between other servers that may have nearly identical information. More often than not, the number is somewhere between 1 and 9999, and is randomly chosen. * Difficulty/Settings/Other Info: Contains information regarding server settings. In the DayZ mod, there were difficulty levels implemented, and this was the place to put them. In the event that something similar is implemented for the Standalone, that kind of information should be placed here. Other pertinent info can also be listed here, but it's best to keep it short. * DayZ Version Number: The build number for the version of DayZ that is running on the server. It's very important to update this number whenever a server does an update, because it helps players see which servers are running older versions of the game. * Server Host: Servers which are hosted using 3rd party services are sometimes required to place the "hosted by Company X" tag at the end of the server title, mostly as a form of advertisement. Example: <pre> DayZ US 293 (Public/Veteran, First Person, 24hr day cycle) v113772 - hosted by SuperServers </pre> === Location Codes === Official servers typically follow some version of the above naming convention and may use a country or state code to denote their location. Anything that isn't listed here does not regularly host official servers. * '''AS''' -- Australia * '''AU/NZ''' -- Australia/New Zealand (typically located in Australia) * '''BR''' -- Brazil *TR -- Turkey * '''DE''' -- Germany * '''ES''' -- Spain * '''FR''' -- France * '''CA''' -- Canada *'''CZ''' -- Czech Republic *'''CA/FR''' -- French Canada * '''NL''' -- Netherlands * '''PL''' -- Poland *'''RU''' -- Russia * '''SE''' -- Sweden * '''SG''' or '''SNG''' -- Singapore * '''UK''' -- United Kingdom * '''US''' -- United States (non-specific) **''N/A'' -- California *** '''LA''' -- Los Angeles *** '''SJ''' -- San Jose ** '''GA''' -- Georgia ** '''IL''' -- Illinois *** '''CHI''' -- Chicago ** '''MO''' -- Missouri ** '''NJ''' -- New Jersey ** '''NY''' -- New York *** '''BUF''' -- Buffalo ** '''TX''' -- Texas *** '''DAL''' -- Dallas ** '''WA''' -- Washington ** '''MI''' -- Miami
