@JohnMcLane666 We’re hoping to test this, but with a number WAY off that chart on Sunday. Fingers crossed.

[MiddlegroundZ @MiddleGroundZz]

Check out Fred and Leigh successfully finishing the Deer Isle 6.0 endgame on DayZ.

It would be great if we could say it was their first attempt… but we can’t, because we don’t like lying 😅

Since our first survivor of the Deerisle endgame waived the prize money and asked us to donate it to a good cause, I have made the prize money available to the animal shelter. Thank you very much!

@JohnMcLane666 @DayZ That’s awesome. Top marks to the both of you.

[MiddlegroundZ @MiddleGroundZz]

@JohnMcLane666 Geezer did so good. Never panicked, and was one hell of a player. Big congrats.

[MiddlegroundZ @MiddleGroundZz]

At MiddleGroundZ, we’ve opened our test server for anyone wanting to try the Deer Isle 6.0 questline.
Stonington is packed with vehicles and boats to help you on your way, plus our usual Vanilla++ MGZ enhancements.

@HollyRexTwitch Been great watching you on 6.0. Enjoying both the ups and the downs. Hopefully you have better luck on your 2nd attempt.

[MiddlegroundZ @MiddleGroundZz]

MiddleGroundZ’s Freddie and DrLeigh ran the new 6.0 Deer Isle questline — here’s their no-spoilers guide.
We also advise watching @HollyRexTwitch, as she is now at the endgame gate, and will have her first look behind that door.

Deer Isle 6.0 – The Unofficial 1.0
With the release of Deer Isle 6.0, the project reaches a point that is personally very significant to me. Even though the version number suggests otherwise, 6.0 is, in many ways, the real 1.0 of Deer Isle.

Why?
For the first time since development began, the map now has not only a clear beginning, but also an end. This does not mean the end of Deer Isle’s development—far from it. Instead, it marks the first time the map contains everything fundamental it was originally meant to have.

In that sense, this release is comparable to the original DayZ 1.0 release: a transition from ongoing construction to a complete foundation.

Content Complete – Not Finished
With version 6.0, Deer Isle is now content complete. All core mechanics, systems, locations, and progression paths that define the overall vision are finally present on the map.

This does not mean development stops here.

New content will continue to be added.
Expansions will follow.
Improvements and refinements will continue.

The key difference is that from now on, everything is built on top of a complete base, rather than toward one.

That is why I internally consider 6.0 to be the “unofficial 1.0.”

Why Experimental First?
Version 6.0 is being released exclusively on the Experimental branch for now.

The reason is straightforward:
**this update introduces highly complex new scripts and systems. Many of these simply cannot be tested properly by a single developer. Their true behaviour only emerges under real conditions—large player counts, different playstyles, and unpredictable scenarios.**

**To be completely transparent:
This is likely the most experimental version of Deer Isle ever released.**

What Does That Mean for Players?
Quite simply: anything can happen.

Unexpected bugs
Critical issues
Server instability
Balancing problems
In the worst case, even a complete loss of progression.

Note: there will be no compensation for lost items, progress etc.

This is not meant to be alarming, but honest.

!!! Anyone playing 6.0 on Experimental should be aware of these risks. !!!

That said, once major issues are identified, I will provide hotfixes as quickly as possible. Community feedback, logs, and reproducible bug reports are absolutely essential during this phase and directly influence further development.

A Milestone — Built Together with the Community

Deer Isle 6.0 is not an endpoint, but a milestone. A moment to briefly look back before moving forward again.

Reaching this point would not have been possible without the community that has tested, supported, criticized, and shaped the project over the years. Once again, the community will play a crucial role in turning 6.0 from an ambitious Experimental release into a stable foundation for the future.

Thank you to everyone who continues to be part of this journey.

PS:
Also a big thx to the @ZERODAYZSERVERS and @HappyBombs which were a long time supportes of the map. They will host a 6.0 EXP Server which I will monitor for the most common bugs and problems.

As a small christmas hunt event:
I will contribute and call out 100$ for the first one (or team) who will beat the map on ZERO Servers. (Note: Videoproof of the last 60min must be available, also we will check the logs).

With Deerisle Exp 6.0 just around the corner, we can’t wait to try out the questline 😱 What does @JohnMclane666 have in store? This was our last breakdown of the Exp map from a couple of months ago, useful prep!

It’s been a hectic few days with plenty of active skirmishes on the new Siberia map.
Come and give it a try!

The Namalsk end-of-season raid event was a blast. The win goes to the attackers, who managed to extract the Mona Lisa.

Check out @torz1’s videos for the full event from the attackers’ POV. Roll on the Siberia launch tomorrow

@AmishZed @DayZ Haha. Classic DayZ. I probably would have put money on that outcome.

[MiddlegroundZ @MiddleGroundZz]

At MGZ, we pride ourselves on being a community-led server. Players decide what’s next—and it looks like Sirberia may be coming to MiddlegroundZ.

Join our Discord to vote. The map looks mega, and we’ll add our usual MGZ touches if it’s chosen.

Great couple of flash events this weekend on Deerisle and Namalsk. Thanks to those that attended, and congrats to those that made it away alive.

Hello!
A quick reminder that today, both Deer Isle and Banov will be wiped.
Additionally, Banov will be replaced with Sakhal.

Make sure to watch the trailer to get a feel for what awaits you on the new map!

Wishing everyone an amazing start to the new season!
