The first military drone to fly overhead will see it and blow it out of existence.

I agree with this statement wholeheartedly. Soft pretzel type things make the world a better place. Sometimes, when no one is looking, I make my own pretzels. It is how I leave my mark on the world. Or something.

I'm definitely signing up for that. Why the hell wouldn't you? Even if you have to pay to get in, I will. I've never played DayZ, but I know for damn sure i'm interested in this.

Not to be nit-picky or anything, but if you research medieval or viking combat at all you'll realize that a shield is a weapon and in most cases it's used far more offensively than defensively.

Multiplayer is fine, the problem is the community that comes with it (in most cases).
