Bohemia compliance
01 · Approval and listing
DayZ server monetization is operated only under Bohemia Interactive’s server monetization rules, including the requirement that monetized DayZ private-shard servers be registered, approved, and listed by Bohemia before monetization is used.
02 · No gameplay advantage
Paid perks must not affect gameplay. Republic purchases are limited to cosmetic, identity, recognition, or community-support benefits.
03 · Purchases are not donations
If a player receives a perk, reward, or service in return, it is treated as a purchase and not described as a donation. True donations must be voluntary gifts with no counter-value.
04 · Mod permissions
For monetized servers using third-party mods, Republic will respect mod-author permissions and remove or adjust perks if permission is unavailable, withdrawn, or unclear.
05 · Public-hive separation
This policy applies to Republic community/private servers only. Store perks are not applied to public-hive DayZ servers.
Current store categories
