I heard this server is whitelisted, what does it mean?

A whitelist is a list with player ids, only players on this list are allowed to play on the server.

[n4ttl]

Which benefits does the whitelist bring?

First and foremost it is an effective prevention against hackers and other cheaters, as they have to register in order to play. It also brings the community together in this forums.

How do I register for the whitelist?

There is a tutorial which explains how to get whitelisted. It can be found here: http://oldschooldayz.net/index.php/topic,156.0.html

I registered for the whitelist but I still cannot join the server, why?

The whitelist is updated with every regular server restart. Server restarts are all 6 hours at 2 am CET, 8 am CET, 2 pm CET and 8 pm CET. The whitelist is NOT updated when the server restarts because of a crash.

It is weekend and I just registered. I do not want to wait 6 hours. Can’t you make an exception and add me to the whitelist?
No. No whitelist updates on demand. We have thousands of subscribers and cannot make exceptions for everybody.

I whitelisted a couple of days ago and I think I did everything correct, however I still cannot join. Can you help me?

Please check if you made all steps correctly. Is your GUID correct? Are you a verified player? All conditions must be met to get on the whitelist. Read the tutorial again: http://oldschooldayz.net/index.php/topic,156.0.html

I applied for the verified players group but got a rejection saying something like: “REASON INSUFFICIENT. PLEASE TRY AGAIN WITH A BETTER APPLICATION TEXT”.  Why am I going to be rejected?

The application text helps us to decide if you are of good character and worth joining this community. We wanna know who you are and why you wanna play on Oldschool. Maybe you tell us a little bit about your playstyle or your expectations you have from this community.Applications like “I wanna play here because my friends play here” or “Whitelist pls” are NOT sufficient and will be rejected without second thought.

What is a GUID?
 
The GUID or Global User Identification is a 32-character long hash-key. It is a representation of your steam-64id. The GUID is used by Battleye (BEC) to identify players. It used both on the whitelist and on the banlists.

How do people get banned on Oldschool DayZ Hardcore?

You can get banned, if you violate the server rules. http://oldschooldayz.net/index.php/topic,11.0.html  There are temporary and permanent bans. Temporary bans are usually for 3, 7 or 30 days and are a penalty for bad behaviour like event crashing, swearing at other people, etc.Permanent bans are … permanent. They are here to keep the cheaters OFF this server.

I have seen several Ban-Codes when people get banned from the server. What do they mean?

Currently there are seven ban codes. ODH #001 - #005 are bans imposed by the admin team, ODH #006 and #007 are bans from external sources

ODH #001 ADMIN BAN : cheating/hacking  -- the usual hacker, be it teleporting, ESP etc.
ODH #002 ADMIN BAN : cheating/ghosting – not used at the moment because we have only one server ATM
ODH #003 ADMIN BAN: cheating/gear copy -- duping
ODH #004 ADMIN BAN – general admin ban for bad behaviour, event crashing etc.
ODH #005 ADMIN BAN: cheating/wall glitching – the name says it all…
ODH #006 BLACKLIST – a list of bans we share with other popular servers and Bohemia Interactive (DASt)
ODH #007 GLOBAL BAN #xxx  -- the DASt master ban list

I am new to the server, registered and when I wanna connect I get kicked. It says that I am banned. Why?

We share a blacklist with about 70 of the most popular servers worldwide. If you are banned, then there is most probably a reason for it.

Also do not think we are stupid: if you get banned with one account and have another one, of course, the other GUID is also banned. We can cross-reference your data to find you, hackers.

Is there a way of redemption to get off the banlist?

 
 If you have got a temporary ban, there was a reason for it. We are not unreasonable and there is no ban without reason. Accept your punishment! After it expires we welcome you back to the group as a normal member.If you are a hacker or cheater, there is no way of redemption. We do not want to have your kind on our server. There are hundreds of public servers where you can enjoy your inferiority complex and your too small penis.Making a donation will not change our mind.
