DayZ Was Ahead Of Its Time
Hundreds of players and zombies in a large open world was considered impossible for years.
DayZ wasn't made possible by the latest engine or algorithm, it considered itself a simulator,
both at heart and down to its implementation. Anything that wasn't crucial to the experience was cut. Anything the server could get away with, it did. DayZ had to sacrifice everything just to show it was possible.
