Voluntary donations
Players may voluntarily support UmCo financially.
Voluntary donations do not entitle donors to anything in return. A donation is not required to access our freely accessible servers or to use regular gameplay content.
A donation does not create any entitlement to in-game items, currency, vehicles or other gameplay advantages.
Monetization
Monetized services are offered only under a valid authorization from Bohemia Interactive.
Only services permitted under the applicable DayZ Server Monetization Rules and which have no impact on gameplay are offered.
These may include, for example:
- Priority queue or priority server access
- Discord supporter roles and badges
- Cosmetic content without improved attributes
- Other services that do not affect gameplay
The services offered are described transparently.
No pay-to-win
UmCo does not sell gameplay advantages for real money.
In particular, none of the following benefits are offered in exchange for a payment:
- In-game currency or trader coins
- Weapons or ammunition
- Vehicles or vehicle spawns
- Equipment, loot or resources
- Better trader prices or discounts
- Increased loot chances
- Additional or larger inventory capacity
- Improved item, weapon or equipment stats
- Any other advantages that affect regular gameplay
A paying player receives no advantage over a non-paying player in regular gameplay.
Voting and reward systems
Voting and other community reward systems are completely separate from financial support.
For example, players may receive vote tokens by voting for free on server lists. Depending on the reward system currently in use, these tokens may be exchanged for in-game coins or other in-game rewards.
No payment is required to participate.
Donations or other financial support neither increase the number or value of vote tokens nor grant special access to this system.
Events and giveaways
UmCo may organize community events, competitions and giveaways. Prizes may include in-game items, vehicles, coins or other rewards that affect gameplay.
Financial support is not required to participate in these activities and does not improve the chances of winning or the potential reward.
Donors and supporters are not given preferential treatment when gameplay-related prizes are awarded.
Events and giveaways are not used to indirectly reward financial support with gameplay advantages.
Equal treatment
Financial support does not result in preferential treatment by the UmCo team.
Supporters and donors are subject to the same server rules as all other players.
In particular, a payment does not protect against warnings, strikes, administrative action, the removal of items obtained in violation of the rules or exclusion from the server.
Mods and third-party content
Various DayZ modifications and third-party content are used on UmCo servers.
The rights of the respective authors and rights holders remain unaffected. UmCo complies with the applicable license terms and terms of use.
Where additional permission from the respective rights holder is required for the commercial or monetized use of a mod or other content, this permission must be obtained before such use.
Use of revenue
Financial support primarily helps fund and further develop the UmCo project. This includes game servers, technical infrastructure, the website and other services needed to operate the community.
Support does not create any entitlement to the continued availability of specific features, mods, servers or services.
Changes
UmCo reserves the right to adjust or discontinue its support and monetization offerings.
If an offered service is no longer permitted under Bohemia Interactive's requirements or a third party's rights, it will be adjusted or discontinued accordingly.
Bohemia Interactive
Monetization of UmCo DayZ servers takes place exclusively within the scope of Bohemia Interactive's applicable DayZ Server Monetization Rules and Game Content Usage Rules.
UmCo is an independent community and is not an official service of Bohemia Interactive.
