Built by players, run by players
Pretorian is an AU/NZ DayZ community with active admins who play on the servers themselves. We run our own anti-cheat, and a real admin checks every ban, backed by recorded evidence.
- Our system flags suspicious play.
- An admin reviews the flag.
- The admin joins the server and watches the player live.
- The cheating is recorded, then the player is banned.
