How a DayZ Veteran created a server empire | The Spotlight on Karma Krew & M1ndr

Описание: How do you go from running a single DayZ server to building a full-scale community network?

In this interview, I sit down with M1ndr to break down how Karma Krew grew from one server into a multi-server ecosystem — consistently full, community-driven, and influential within the DayZ space.

We cover:

• When it shifted from “one server” to something bigger
• The realities of scaling infrastructure
• Moderation and community trust at scale
• Burnout and behind-the-scenes pressure
• Monetisation, ethics, and sustainability
• What most players don’t see

This isn’t hype. It’s a deep dive into the systems behind one of the most recognisable server networks in DayZ.

If you’re interested in community building, server management, or the business side of DayZ — this one’s for you.
