The DayZ blog looks back on the first week of availability of the alpha version of DayZ, Bohemia Interactive's zombie game, noting this post outlines their timetable for rolling out new features. Here's word:

It has been a very busy week for the DayZ team:

• three DayZ patches released
• over 400.000 survivors have entered Chernarus
• over 40.000 concurrent users pushed DayZ Alpha servers to their limits
• Dean “Rocket” Hall posted more details about our immediate future plans

The second week will be much calmer. Most of the team members are going to take a well-deserved vacation week with their families, so please be patient with us for the much slower pace in the coming two weeks. Thanks to all for the incredible support and interest in the game so far. 2014 is going to be an exciting year for DayZ. Merry Christmas.
