My only worry is internet speed. I only have DSL, and wireless at that. Do I need run a direct line to the computer to have a chance to compete?

What's your internet speed?
ALSO EVERYONE JUST NOW JUMPING IN DOWNLOAD DAYZ COMMANDER
http://www.dayzcommander.com/ (download link is at bottom left of page)
And go ahead and bookmark this page
http://dayzdb.com/map#4.053.129 (you will be alt-tabing) out of the game frequently... until you get a map and compass.. And hopefully you know how to read a real map
Download this after you have everything installed and update it. It will help you filter through servers and keep your DayZ up to date for you.
Yes this is a hardcore survival game. There are plenty of towns with loot but the world is HUGE.. A lot of times you will be jogging through the woods and won't see anyone for 10 minutes (but you have to drink a pepsi because your thirst icon is flashing red).
And trust no other human in-game unless you know them.
ALL OF YOU WATCH THIS VIDEObecause it could happen to anyone new playing the game and is too trustworthy. Heh, read the description in the video. "I spawned in Elektro. Ran into the fire house. I stopped Because I heard the sounds of a bus horn. I rushed outside Yelled "Friendly" and got on a bus for what I thought was going to be a good time. This is my Dayz story." skip to 4:10 if you're impatient
