A Remote Island.
A Lawless World.
Deer Isle. A remote island chain cut off from the mainland long before the outbreak reached its shores. When the world fell silent, the Isle did not go quietly. The infected came by sea, by air, by the desperate survivors who thought they were fleeing to safety.
"What began as a refuge became a battleground — and what was left behind was something no government, no military, no authority could ever reclaim."
Now the Isle belongs to whoever is strong enough to take it. Waldoboro, Old Town, East Harbor and Westbrook are no longer towns on any map that matters. They are territories. Hunting grounds. Markets for those who know where to look.
The black market runs through back alleys and dockside warehouses. Cartel convoys move product across the island roads. Military remnants patrol the restricted zones around Area 42 and Rockenheim, protecting whatever classified operation they were never ordered to stand down from.
You arrived with nothing. That changes now.
Built For Those
Who Take It Seriously
Claim ground with the territory flag system. Build your operation, store your arsenal, establish your crew as the name everyone fears on the island. The party system keeps your group coordinated.
The isle runs on Euros. Cannabis, cocaine and psilocybin flow through Kushville and cartel stashes. High-risk, high-reward. The underground economy rewards organisation — solo operators survive, coordinated gangs dominate.
BaseBuildingPlus + Underground Bases mod. Dig deep, fortify hard. Code locks, buried barrels, bed respawning. Your base is your empire — keep the flag active or lose it.
Ford Raptors, Land Rovers, military trucks and more. You need a Driving Licence to operate any vehicle. Car keys pair to your ride — unlocked is an invitation. In-vehicle radio with Psyerns Radio Show.
Casino, blackjack tables, NPC barkeepers, ambient music, fishing, a dog companion. Pokémon cards. The isle has a life beyond the gunfights. Build something worth defending.
Four grades of filament, four tiers of printable gear — from basic utility items all the way to suppressed Glocks, NV Goggles, claymore mines and codelocks. Find filament in industrial zones and missions.
15 Active Missions.
The Isle Never Stops.
⚠ AI BANDITS ROAM THE ISLAND INDEPENDENTLY BETWEEN MISSION EVENTS. TREAT EVERY ABANDONED TOWN LIKE IT MIGHT NOT BE ABANDONED AT ALL.
Three Traders.
One You Have to Find.
He's there. Somewhere in Kushville — a blacked-out stall, a back alley, a building that looks abandoned. The Black Market dealer moves the serious product: illegal weapons mods, contraband, gear you won't find at any legitimate counter.
Kushville is not a safe zone. Watch your back while you search.
Shipwrecks litter the waters around Deer Isle. Some hold salvage. Some hold treasure that could make you very rich — if you can reach it. Sharks patrol these waters. They are not a scripted event. They are a constant threat.
You need a boat. You need a dive plan. You need to be faster than whatever is circling below you.

Get On
The Isle
The Isle runs 53 mods — too many for the standard DayZ launcher. You'll need the DZSALauncher to connect. It handles all mod downloads automatically. No manual subscriptions, no missing files.
Head to dzsalauncher.net and download the launcher for your system. Install it — it takes about 2 minutes. The standard DayZ launcher won't work with this many mods.
Open DZSALauncher, use the server search and type RL-ISLE. The server will appear in the results. Click it to open the server details.
Hit Add to Favourites so you can find it instantly next time. This is your bookmark on the isle — don't skip it.
Click Launch. DZSALauncher will automatically download and install all 53 mods for you. Once complete it drops you straight into the server. First thing you do — buy a Driving Licence from the Tools vending machine.
How The Isle
Works
Racism, discrimination, hate speech and extremist content are strictly prohibited. Violators will be permanently banned without appeal.
Toxic behaviour, harassment and targeted abuse of other players will not be tolerated in any form — in chat, voice or otherwise. Keep it competitive, not personal.
Cheating, hacking, duping or use of any third-party exploit software will result in an immediate permanent ban. We run active anti-cheat monitoring.
Admin and moderator decisions are final. If you have a genuine dispute, raise it on Discord in the appropriate channel — not in game chat.
Intentional server crashing, lag exploitation or map glitching is a bannable offence regardless of intent.
RL-ISLE is a PvPvE server — both player combat and AI threats are core to the experience. PvP is fully permitted across the island. However, repeatedly targeting fresh spawns with no gear and no RP context is considered griefing.
Raiding is allowed. However, griefing — defined as destroying a base purely to grief with no loot intent — is not. Leave something behind.
The safe zone around the trader is a no-kill zone. Any PvP within trader bounds, including vehicle ramming, will result in a ban.
Blocking trader access with vehicles or structures is not allowed. Keep the trader area clear.
RL-ISLE is a roleplay-encouraged server. You don't have to be deep RP but treat the world seriously. Build your gang, run your operation, establish your name.
Gang tags in names are allowed and encouraged. Keep names appropriate — no offensive or troll names.
The black market economy is part of the server. Drugs, weapons deals and territory disputes are all fair game within the RP framework. Play your role.
If you're running missions, respect other players attempting the same objective. First contact wins — don't camp a mission another group is actively running.
Maximum base size is governed by the territory flag radius. Do not attempt to exploit building mechanics to extend beyond it.
Do not build inside or directly on top of military loot spawns, mission zones or the trader area.
Abandoned bases (no activity for 14+ days) may be wiped by admins at their discretion. Keep your territory active.
Underground bases are permitted. Use them wisely.
