Well Noobers...you asked for more so here it is!
What has the DDB Noob server got that's new you ask?
How about....
AI - yes computer controlled players roaming the map. Some are helpful, some are not. Some of these fellas also carry radios - very helpful in hearing about any chatter regarding potential air strikes (see below).
Self Blood Bag - those lone-wolf type players - your prayers have been answered. Now players can use blood bags on themselves. Not as effective as getting one from another player - but not more eating 100 cans of beans to heal!
Tent sleeping / heal - finally! Players can now have a well deserved snooze in their tents to regain some heath. Just be careful your snoring doesn't attract any unwanted attention!
Animated heli crashes. Heli crashes now are more realistic - they now fly over the map and crash - creating the heli-crash sites that we know and love. And before you ask - yes you can shoot them down (much easier than a normal heli) and it will spawn the crash site where it lands.
Carepackages. If you see the old bi-plane roaming around the map...it may just be dropping care packages for survivors...
Air Strikes - watchout for the "spotter" heli circling or hovering above your favourite town or city. If you hear air-raid sirens..RUN! Them bombs are soon to follow.
Base Building - Hell Yeah! You can now build your own custom bases! Just collect the required components are start building away! You can even lock gates with unique pass codes.
Stay tuned....got some really cool stuff in the pipeline for next month.

DDB Noob Server News
Howdy Gents,
I've been busy working on some config changes on the DAYZ server and I thought I should post a little information on the recent changes.
Whats New?
- Stats - the leaderboard stats are a bit skewed with AI kills being counted as player kills (bandits + survivor kills = murders). So be aware that npc kills are being counted to your totals.
-Server is now on a Veteran setting with map markers enabled. This means that you have an indicator of your current location on the map and spotted vehicles and such. Nameplates are off - so you shouldn't be able to spot players/vehicles from 500m with your crosshairs floating over them.
- Added a couple of new locations (bare bones at the moment)
- survivor refugee camp
- military camp
- new structures (one is pretty hard to miss)
- Air Raids. Yes the military are now randomly bombing cities around the map! Just look for the "spotter" heli floating overhead...and if you hear sirens....RUN!
Whats Gone?
-Removed the secret lab, dogs and cargo lift scripts. These were causing more issues than they were worth. I'll look at them in the future, but they are gone for now.
Whats Coming?
-Heros/Bandits will get the ability to self-bloodbag
-Player camps - these are camps in various areas of the map that have some little extras to use if you can find them (i.e. permanent campfire, camo netting)
-Player protected zones (wip) - these are additions to the player camps. AI will be added to the camp and will not shoot the camps "owner" but everyone else is fair game.
With the standalone alpha due out next month - some or none of the "Whats Coming" may happen

28 DAYZ L8R Server Offline 17/04/2013 times
Fellow DAYZers,
The 28 DAYZ L8R server will be off-line for maintenance on the 17/04/2013 from approx 5pm to 12 pm AET.
There will be various bug fixes and some "additions" to the server that will require frequent reboots.
During this time a password will be applied to the server and will be removed once testing is complete.
Current players, tents, vehicles will be retained.
Cheers
