In the comments attached to the blog article, a number of people posted stories from their game. As I've got to keep the comments trimmed down to a level below 200 (or the comments system goes a bit wonky), I've pasted them below. I allow anonymous comments on the blog, so most of them are credited to "Anonymous". Please feel free to add your own stories.

Mr. 'funny'
I first encountered a group of survivors standing in north-west cherno, walked away, heard a massive gun battle erupt, was chased by bandits, hide in a forest, I ambushed 2 bandits (whom called for backup just before eating a slug to the face), hid in a gas station, got flanked by two more bandits, broke my leg in the battle, but walked out victorious. This all took place about an hour after I started.

I had a similar experience, I finally got all the pieces to put a helicopter together after a couple of hours, and I get shot down on the way to the airfield. Luckily i was not far off the ground so only suffered from broken legs, bleeding and loss of hearing. I was able to patch myself up as the helicopter exploded. I got the NW Airfield with only a few bullets in my weapon, and was eventually overrun by military zombies as I ran out of ammo, this was due to searching for that perfect silenced weapon.

I actually found a whole clip, but no Stannag SD yet, I died while attempting to evade the zombie horde. The sun came up as I was exploring the airfield which made it very hard to search.

I usually set my game time to evening (just before dusk), night time, early morning, A script that does this automatically and not manually would be really nice. as it would give players an even bigger sense of dread as they know its getting dark, or the sun is coming up soon...

Now that is an adventure...

The bandits do take a while to appear, I hear gunfire in town, in the wilderness, even while airborne.

I finally found some nv googles on a bandit that tried to kill me through the window. Thats some aim hes got, I was unconscious for about 45 seconds, I just had enough health to bandage myself up and stay awake then I got the hell out of there, his buddy was round the corner...brrr run...!

I have not seen anything in flight in the air, however I wasnt actually paying attention to the sky, so ill keep looking....

I got the fright of my life when a chicken came running round the corner and it clucked at me at me, while I lay in the grass watching zombies go past...lol

lmao, I remember sitting in a field once at night and my flashlight caught a cow walking right in front of me. The bastard made me jump outta my seat lol. First time I had seen a cow in the game.

I too have heard helicopter sounds off in the distance but have not seen one in the air. I have also found a crashed Heli north of Stary with a lone un-armed bandit running around in the field around it. I assumed he was the ejected pilot and popped him, find nothing on his body. (usually they have FN/M4, 8 mags, 2 grenades, NV, binoculars).

Twice now I have flown over Stary and both times have encountered other flying choppers. One landed so I landed, got out and BAM! got creamed by bandits - great stuff! I am now much more careful where and when i land. K
