Dear DayZ Development Team,
Your updates arrive regularly, usually at least twice a year, and we appreciate the continued support for the game. However, from the perspective of many players, we have yet to see some of the fundamental improvements that could truly unlock DayZ's full potential.
As you are undoubtedly aware, a significant portion of the DayZ community plays on modded servers. Mods have become much more than an optional addition to the game. They are one of the main reasons DayZ has remained relevant and engaging for so many years. They bring new ideas, mechanics, experiences, and endless possibilities that keep players coming back.
Of course, every major update comes with risks for the modded servers we have come to love. Mods can break, servers can go offline, and their creators must spend countless hours adapting their work to the latest version. We understand that this is part of the process, and we have learned to live with it.
But with every update, we continue to hope that you will also remember the community that has supported your game for the past seven years. The players, server owners, modders, and community creators who have invested their time, creativity, and passion into DayZ have played a major role in keeping the game alive and attracting new players. The success and longevity of DayZ are not solely the result of official updates. They are also the result of the incredible community that has grown around the game.
That is why I would like to make one simple but important request: please consider increasing the script memory limit.
The current limit of 100 MB is far too restrictive for ambitious modded projects. It prevents modders from fully realizing their ideas and limits what server owners can offer their communities. Raising this limit could open the door to more complex systems, richer gameplay experiences, and innovations that would benefit the entire DayZ community.
DayZ has enormous potential, and I genuinely believe that we have only scratched the surface of what this game could become. Giving modders more room to create would be a meaningful step toward realizing that potential.
I hope this message reaches you and that you will seriously consider this request. We are not asking you to do everything for us. We are simply asking you to give the community the tools it needs to continue building, creating, and keeping DayZ alive for years to come.
Thank you for your time, your work, and for continuing to develop DayZ.
Sincerely,
A regular DayZ player with 5,500 hours of playtime.
