About us in one line

Is Dead DayZ Servers is a free-to-play PC DayZ community running three modded PvE servers: Chernarus (easiest, with rotating PvP zones), Livonia (fully PvE) and Sakhal (hardcore Vanilla++). Expect tough AI and custom T5+ endgame zones on all three, quests and traders on Chernarus and Livonia, and progression you earn, never buy.

Story angles

A PvE community that's lasted six years. Started among friends chasing the feel of the original DayZ mod: AI, infected and building.
Never pay-to-win, and we publish exactly what we sell. Perks are cosmetic or convenience; the best gear is earned.
Free tools any DayZ player can use, even if they never join us: the Base Planner, ammo chart and sickness checker. Our interactive map covers our own Chernarus and Livonia servers.
Easiest to hardcore on three maps, so there's a server for a brand-new player and one for a ten-year veteran.
