Monetization Policy

Our Commitment

DayZ Afterlight is operated in full alignment with Bohemia Interactive’s DayZ Server Monetization Policy. Our core promise is to preserve a fair, authentic survival experience for every player.

We will never sell in-game advantages, items, or gameplay-altering perks.

What We Provide

Priority Queue Access

Our only monetized feature is Priority Queue Access, allowing community supporters to join the server faster when it reaches capacity. This is a convenience feature only and has zero impact on gameplay balance.

What Priority Queue Access does NOT include:

  • No in-game items or gear
  • No spawn or loot advantages
  • No exclusive zones or protected areas
  • No gameplay changes or boosted progression
  • No unfair advantage of any kind

Bohemia Interactive Guidelines

We follow Bohemia Interactive’s official monetization guidelines, which only permit cosmetic or queue-priority benefits that do not influence survival mechanics or player competition.

Why We Monetize

Running a DayZ server involves ongoing costs including:

  • Dedicated server hosting
  • Game server licenses
  • Website and Discord bot hosting
  • Community tools and plugins
  • Development and maintenance time

Priority queue purchases help cover these costs and keep the server running smoothly for everyone.
All revenue goes directly to server operations and improvements.

Transparency

We believe in open communication and community trust. If you have questions about our monetization systems or believe something conflicts with fair-play principles, contact us right away on Discord.

Community trust matters more than any revenue.
