Cover Charge — $1.90
Every player pays a one-time cover charge of $1.90 to join the server. This fee covers exactly the cost of identity verification and payment processing — nothing more. The server owner fronts all infrastructure costs across all providers (hosting, database, domain, email, etc.).
The cover charge does not grant any gameplay advantage, priority queue access, special items, or cosmetic perks. All verified players have identical access and gameplay experience.
Donations
We accept voluntary donations that go directly toward infrastructure costs. The server owner currently fronts all hosting, database, domain, and platform expenses out of pocket. Donations help offset these costs.
Donating is entirely optional and does not affect gameplay in any way. Non-donors have the exact same access, experience, and standing as donors. Not providing a donation will never prevent anyone from accessing the server or any content.
Bohemia Compliance
This monetization model complies with the Bohemia Interactive DayZ Server Monetization Rules:
- Charging players to access the server is allowed when fees do not affect gameplay in any way.
- Limiting access to only paying players is allowed.
- Accepting donations is allowed, provided non-donors are not prevented from accessing the content.
LLDZ is registered (or pending registration) on the Bohemia approved list. Permission expires January 31st, 2027.
Cost Breakdown
