What is Origins?

[GaymacianJustice]

What is Origins exactly? I play the normal DayZ. Is there any reason I should switch to Origins?

DayZ Origins Unique Content
- Humanity System up to Lv 3 (Hero: 2900, 6500, 15000. Bandit: 1900, -6500, -15000.)
- Build Houses/Garages/Stronghold
- Salvation Island
- Dr. Ivan's "Secret" Lab (Middle of Sabina: Poorly made)
- Reinforce Vehicles
- Stronghold implements clan system

Pros:
- 1.7.5 Optimized gameplay quite a bit
- Permanent house storage if your an active player. (gear is untouchable unless you die with your house unlocked/door open)
- Plenty of Skins
- Abundance of vehicles
- Long-term committment/goal/end-game
- Choose from an array of spawn points
- Salvation Island (Island of NPCs that offer loot. No zombies but the npcs are killer.)

Cons:
- Nights get very dark
- More PvP
- Have to visit Salvation Island/Heli Crashsites for NV Goggles
- Occasional server wipes based on content added in updates
- Somewhat benefit's group play over being a loner (More people = more survivability)
- Devs hardly offer any Admin support unless the server is one of the ~6-7 servers hosted specifically by Origins. No extended logs for supported hosters.
- Abundance of corrupt admins (due to above statement. Ban without proof because they lack the ability to check extended logs. Its just a guessing game on who to ban.)

If I were to sum up Origins in any way, it's the map Tavania with just a bunch of features. Things such as:

- The ability to craft a house out of materials corresponding to your hero/bandit status
- More weapons
- Some cities have added structures
- And an insanely strong anti-hack (Although some still hack on it)

I think it's worth a shot to check out
