Administering a Server
On a vast gaming map like in DayZ, having administration is crucial, especially if there are numerous players on the server. Being able to promptly respond to a player's call who is stuck in textures or engaged in combat with a cheater and helping to resolve these issues. Quality administration is one of the keys to the success of your server and the convenience for players.
