BisectHosting's DayZ servers are a fantastic way to host large or small groups of players and build a thriving community. Some popular DayZ servers utilize various game mechanics to create faction wars, group politics, and random encounters with friendly or mischievous players. DayZ also has multiple branches that servers can use. By switching to the DayZ Experimental client, users can test new features directly on the server, keeping things fresh and exciting even for experienced players.
