Groups and Factions are a very important aspect of DUG, they are the heart and soul of the community and the ones that are held to the highest standards when it comes to Roleplay and Interacting with the rest of the server. This article will describe in detail on how to achieve your own Official Group Status, how to maintain it, and how to move forward if you wish to apply for a Faction.

Reaching and Maintaining Official Group Status

What is an official Group on DayzUnderground?

The groups of DUG are recognized collectives of players who form a cohesive entity in-character. They play the server together, and endeavor to behave and interact with the fun and enjoyment of others in mind. In recognition of their contribution to the server, groups receive two representatives in the DUG discord group & faction chat, up to five representatives in the community-controlled environment (CCE) system and dedicated channels on the DUG TeamSpeak.

What are the Perks of Being an official Group?

• Groups are offered Public and Private TeamSpeak Channels.
• Group leaders are offered representation in the DUG discord Group and Factions Chat (up to 2 whitelisted members).
• Up to 5 whitelisted members of a group may act as delegates in the Community-Controlled Environment (CCE).
• Groups are eligible to apply for Faction status.

How to Become an official Group:

• Step 1: Have at least the required minimum of 3 Whitelisted Members. You can apply for whitelist at this link.
• Step 2: Make yourselves known publicly by posting a Group Announcement on the DayzUnderground subreddit.
• Step 3: Reach out to a Staff Member and ask for a Roster for your Group. Once you've posted the Reddit Group Announcement and filled the roster with the required information for the members of your Group - notify the Staff Member you've done so.

After 1 month of activity since notifying Staff that you've done the previous steps, whilst also maintaining 3+ whitelisted members on your roster - your Group will be considered Official.

Maintaining official Group status

Groups are to be held to a high standard when it comes to managing their members and interacting with the rest of the community, both in-game and out of it on all of DUG's server platforms. The following bullets are things any official Group must maintain and keep themselves accountable for:

• Groups must keep their roster updated with the latest information. (This means keeping their member's activity status accurate, adding and removing members from their roster in a timely manner, etc...)
• Groups are expected to uphold the Faction Behavior and Etiquette Standards provided by the Staff Team at all times.
• Groups must have their own unique identity that separates them from current groups and factions.
