For all the respawn problems, I think this one takes gold.

Go on the other server , you should spawn somewhere on land.

You can apparently respawn still. I have seen the explanation many times in other threads. I haven't tried it myself but it involves a lot of timing.

Do you have a link?

okay I can't find it anywhere so i will do my best to explain it. I haven't been able to log on in a few days to reddit or dayz so sry if i'm too late.
Pres Esc, Hover your cursor over the grayed-out respawn button. Press esc again without moving your cursor. Repeatedly press esc and the respawn button should eventually be clickable for about a split second. If you can manage to click it, it will respawn you.
If i recall, i think they also said you need to hover your mouse over the right side of the respawn button.
Sorry for the late reply, i hope this doesn't help because you have already fixed the problem!

Thanks for the message, I had a lot of difficulty with that method, and no I haven't fixed my problem yet! I'm currently trying to CA2 server method, but I keep getting kicked for bad ping (too far away from Cananda!). Also, now when I respawn I can actually see land, so I might just swim towards it...could take a few hours.

Explanation:
I was playing on a server, when the entire map disapeared, and every player was spawned in an ocean clusterfuck, no land visible from all directions (sorry didn't get a shot of that). Managed to steal a few things from others backpacks, then left the server. Now when joining any server I'm stuck here!
So I guess I can't play any more DayZ until we get respawn back.
You aren't getting respawn back. It was removed for the better.
Just swim back to land.
But he just said he couldnt see land.. Thats just an abnormal amount of time, and really quite a bother IMO.
Yeah there was literally no land in view, I wouldn't even know which direction to swim in.
