I was introduced to DayZ about 3 years ago by my partner, it was something she was really into when we met. We started playing DayZ on the PC (she was on Xbox prior) starting off vanilla, but eventually transitioning to modded and community servers. Personally I really enjoy the RP PVE servers, there's just something about getting to roleplay in a post apocalyptic setting, just trying to exist with other people, somewhere vaguely Eastern European. I actually started learning to speak/read Russian for the sake of making navigating the roads easier, which sounds silly but it certainly has come in handy more than once. This game is very enjoyable, I don't lightly spend over 1000h on a game. But I think this is well worth the time spent, even if it is just two hours of running back and forth between a trader and our base.
