I would not say that is entirely accurate. When it comes to dealing on a large level for anything, web hosting included, and you are dealing with a population this large, you will always have bad encounters with some people. It would be physically impossible to please absolutely everyone out there. Vilayer is no different, they try their best and please as many of their customers as they possible can. Some customers are just plain ignorant. Just because you can find links to their bad service that one or two people started (<0.1% of their customer base) doesn't mean anything. You can find just as much hate forums for Mr. Rooter Plumbing, Ikea, McDonald's or any other larger company that is actually doing a great job. Mr. Rooter Plumbing is part of the Dywer group and is one of the most successful franchises around for plumbing, but spite that 99% of its customers are happy, you will still find someone who says they were ripped off or over charged. That is the nature of the game. The problem is that the people who are pleased with the service don't start threads for each thing they are happy about. If that were to happen, you would not be able to Google the bad stuff, or the good results would flood your screen. People need to stop trash talking what they know nothing about. Vilayer and Icebreakr can deal with this between themselves, and I am sure they do not require the opinions of others on how to do it. Icebreakr does amazing work and it is loved by any gamer who plays on it. Vilayer offeres a good service at a great price, with good connections, and has from what I hear an very good IT team. They have always been able to answer questions from the server renters that I have played with.

http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/98717-dayz-panthera-servers-mrsherenais-version/ This link is from the DayZ forums for the non-Vilayer Pantera, where the #6th post down clearly indicated that they too are hosting servers (ST Server hosting) with that map as an option. So they are doing the exact same thing that Vilayer is doing. They are both showing that they have that map as an optional content when you rent server space. Everyone here is stating that Vilayer is doing wrong, and that the other version of that map should be used, but the people using that version are still doing the same thing. The only reason why the other one is allowed with no issue is because it is hosted directly through the mod's website, but that's not a monopoly. http://dayzmod.com/forum/index.php?/topic/88632-dayzst-30mo-for-50-slot-usuknl-servers-instant-setup-custom-panel-time-changing-private-official-hives-lingor-panthera-rmod/ and going to their forum profile site, the main headline on the top is ADVERTISING Lingor and Panthera maps as part of their packages.

And does this other version run from DayZ commander??? If not, why would people rather play that version over one that is affiliated with DayZ Commander? People who just come to play the game, like myself, would rather a one stop shop location to play on all the servers we choose. If the other version never went to DayZ Commander with their version, that would be no fault of Vilayer. Vilayer did what they do best, host services, and have a bunch of maps, made by others, that are compatible with DayZ.

IceBreakr, I would have a tenancy to agree with Avid_Gamer. I myself am just a player that is able to enjoy all the maps the are part of the DayZ package. I spend most of my time playing on the Vilayer hive because of the low pings and good connections I am continuously playing at. I believe that they are doing a great job at promoting your work, and that anyone who reads these forums and stays up to date with what it going on, would agree that full credit is being given to you for all your hard work on the maps. I, myself, and very thankful to people like yourself for putting the time into making the maps, and to companies like Vilayer that are allowing the hosting servers to use your map. To the best of my knowledge from your map and how it is being used on Vilayer servers, there has been no modifications from the original map. The only change has been done to make sure players like myself are able to move around on the servers without having issues. In my opinion, this whole issue that is being started is just a "red-herring" for the underlying issue that most likely someone else is upset that they have invested time and money into a server that is not as active as they would like to see it. That is the nature of the game, not all servers can be fully populated at all times. But based on the 65 servers I can see right now playing your map, I do not see less than 7 players on any of the servers. People like you are what we need to keep us gamers occupied and staying with a game. After all, if your maps were not accessible by us, the public, then we would all eventually get bored and stop playing the game. I am sure that if someone asked Vilayer, they would be more than willing to include your name on the splash screen or anywhere else that you feel it needed to be. The people that I talk to for the most part are having more fun playing on the DayZ servers since the release of Panthera, and we would all like it to stay around. All of us know that Vilayer is not the creator of the maps, and we all know that people like yourself are the true hard workers behind the scenes. On behalf of the gaming community that enjoys your work, we would ask that you allow it to remain as an option on the DayZ servers.
