Hello Deadsiders!
Today we announce a very interesting test coming to the Public Test Server, this will not be a test of an upcoming update, rather we are going to test an option for community servers, that will largely change the overall gameplay. Your feedback is extremely important during this test, as it will determine the outcome of development in this direction.

IMPORTANT: If the community likes these changes, we plan to make these options only available to community server admins, Official Servers & Supporter Pack owners will not be affected.
This test will have two major changes:
[olist]
This will mean that players in Green Zones can now PvP, so if a player wants to take advantage of the traders there, it will come at great risk. Now, nowhere will be safe
With the removal of Safe Zone Storage, it will be much more important for players to construct a base, if they plan to make any long term progression. This also means that the majority of a player's progression can be reset by just one raid, completely raising the stakes of the entire game. We plan to expand the functionality of bases in the future, which should further enhance this type of gameplay.
Remember, these changes will only affect community servers, who can create their own additional rules, adjust settings like raid token drop %, and further customize the experience.
The aim of these changes are to place more importance on a players base, and to make players value each individual life more. Now players won’t have a cushion of Safe Zone cash to fall back on. Moreover, this might help extend the overall gameplay loop, as progression will be slower, and can be reset at any time.
Essentially, you would be raising the stakes, making everything that much more rewarding
Feedback:
Your feedback is extremely important in this test, if we get very negative feedback, we will not spend any more development time with this idea, and you will not see this feature in game. But, if we get positive feedback, then we can consider adding these options into the list of community server features.
