Have you tried Epoch? It adds tons of new stuff, like base building, AI bandits, various markets to buy weapons and vehicles, loads of new vehicles and outfits, missions, etc. It's really fun imo and has jaded me when I try playing vanilla.

So I just bought this, feeling a bit overwhelmed...
I have a mosin nagant with no ammo and a saw.. I wandered around for like 30 minutes and logged out after not finding much. Kinda hope I didn't just waste 30 bucks lol.

Watch this:
The video is a bit dated considering all the new stuff they've added that it doesn't cover, but this dude has some good basic tips for playing the game. It's really a matter of sinking time into it though to just learn the map and the loot spawns. If you are patient, and not afraid of perma death, you should enjoy this game.
I would advise watching gameplay videos to get a feel for various tactics. FrankieOnPCIn1080P, and Rhino Crunch make some good DayZ videos. Feel free to ask if you have any questions about the game. It is a pretty steep learning curve.

Yeah, if you have Arma 2 and Arma 2:Operation Arrowhead, just get the free "DayZ Commander" program and try some of the more interesting versions of the mod. I agree that Epoch is probably the most fun. I love crafting a bike out of a toolbox and the idea of crafting all my basebuilding supplies, stealing vehicles and selling them, etc.

That map helped me get going a lot, so did meeting up with other people. Certain things take common sense such as finding your direction via the setting/rising sun, so the map will complete the puzzle somewhat. Go toward a city and you'll inevitably find stuff and run into other people doing the same. Then you'll get pissed because they'll shoot you on sight and you'll just start over again.

Because you claim to be a true ES fan, but that money stops you from playing, then you bought dayz! That was 2 months of game time!
I picked up dayz, yesterday. ;(

But like, I can't get into ESO like I can a single player TES game.
Also I don't think I like Day Z..

You gave up on it way to fast. too bad for you. You gotta remember that MMO's are designed to be played for realllly long periods of time so you have to invest some time to start out.
At quakecon they just did a dev panel and talked and showed off all the stuff coming out in the next few months. Spell crafting so all the original ES spells will be back. Crime and justice system for thieving and murder of npcs, and players having the abilitiy to also be guards and bounty hunters to go after other players who murdered npcs or stole.
The next solo zone coming out is Wrothgar, where Orsinnium is, finally get to see the wrecked capital of the orcs.
oh well, sorry you didnt dig it!

So I just got this game, haven't played a whole lot yet since my internet decided to crap out tonight..
Anyway, just wondering if anyone would be interested in partying up and playing? Keep in mind, I'm totally noob at the moment, but maybe a couple of you would also be willing to help me out on learning. If you guys are interested add me on Steam and we'll set up a time to play when we're both online or whatever.

Sawed off mosin is the worst thing you can do with your life. It effectively eliminates the range from anything more than 5 ft away hahaha.

I am really wanting this game, I thought of ordering it tonight though I see this: WARNING: THIS GAME IS EARLY ACCESS ALPHA. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE IT UNLESS YOU WANT TO ACTIVELY SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT OF THE GAME AND ARE PREPARED TO HANDLE WITH SERIOUS ISSUES AND POSSIBLE INTERRUPTIONS OF GAME FUNCTIONING.
Would it be worth waiting or will I get the updates to the game as they come ?

lol. That just means it's still in early development... meaning there are bugs and unfinished/unpolished features. If you get it now, that means you get all the updates to the game every time they update it, yes.
I have over 500+ hours in this game already.. kinda sick
