# We don't inflate our player counts. We don't need to.

THE STRUGGLE has been running vanilla DayZ long enough that the community speaks for itself. Active groups raiding each other nightly, solos making moves, and enough chaos to keep things interesting across **Chernarus, Sakhal, and Livonia**.

Built by the **TSB community** you know and love (or hate).

**Why players stick around:**

* **The Bus** - No squad? No problem. The Bus connects solos and duos with groups looking for extra hands. Best way to get started.
* **Fair Play, Enforced** - Admin logs are actively monitored. Strict impartiality. Zero tolerance for abuse.
* **Honest Pop Counts** - The number you see is real. Always.
* **Build Anywhere** - Creative bases, strategic raiding, real consequences.
* **Three Maps, One Community** - Chernarus for the classic experience, Sakhal and Livonia for a change of scenery. Same rules, same community.

**Tweaks worth mentioning:**
* Spawn location cycles every 2 min instead of 6
* Custom weapon colors, plate carriers, Black Gorka helmet
* Minimal mods: Admin tools, Andy's Earplugs, Notes
