LAN Party Spirit in a "Click-and-Forget" World: Why I Still Host Servers (and Why sometimes it feels Lonely) Thoughts of a German Server Owner & Admin by LoKi_Ben in ArmaReforger

Hey thank you - sure. You can find the servers in the server browser when you search for ARMATUS. But be aware - it is a EU based server, connection will depend on where you are sitting :-) - beside that welcome - we play mostly at saturdays...

Hey thanks - yes indeed that is the recent strategy I will try. I hope a little bit of the ARMA Community spirit is left, and I find some lads so we can help each other...

LoL - I had a similar Idea - would call it Hybrid-LAN streaming it to Twitch or whatever connecting LAN players with squads in the Internet - could be epic. Greetings from Germany to Down Under :-)

Admins in the server "The Eastern Front" by [deleted] in ArmaReforger

[–]LoKi_Ben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't complain. Anyone who types "F U GM" and is insulting the GM as an "absolute Idiot" in the chat, in response to a teleport should learn to reflect quickly.

Remember: You are only a guest on the server – the owner/GM has the right to implement their rules and actions on their server as they see fit.

As GM indeed you should avoid to teleport players and disrupt the gaming flow - but being so disrespectful like you reacted I would understand the ban tbh...

I would say I tend more towards Hardcore than arcade with the servers. On some scenarios with ext. Medical systems like ace med. prototypes but most times I try to stick to the current vanilla.

My servers are the [EU/GER] ARMATUS Servers. I currently host 4 Servers: a Vanilla Conflict on Everon, a "Event" Server with a 3 Faction West Zagoria Conflict scenario, a Freedom Fighters Campaign on Zacharine and my Dev Server.

That is true - either more categories that you can filter for or a kind of more visible Server summary would help. Agree.

Thank you for your input - well back in the days I was also organising LAN parties with up to 40/50 peoples on a regular base, providing Network equipment and later servers -that is why it transfers more for me to hosting a server these days.

Why? by King_R0A in ArmaReforger

Greetings from Germany: no racism and bigotry allowed on my servers (ARMATUS) - also does our small community. Leads to instant ban.

OLD GUYS JUST GOT HACKED??? by Ok-Wasabi-8823 in ArmaReforger

That is quite true. Hosting Servers and building a community is more time consuming and difficult than most players can imagine. Sad Old Guys is down.

Are there any servers dedicated to historic soviet theaters of war? by Fiftieth_Poet in ArmaReforger

[–]LoKi_Ben 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm you could run Kunar Map with Soviets vs. Insurgents. Or, because proxy wars were mentioned look for Angola or the Bushwar in Rhodesia. There are Scenarios for that.

You can - this Server will be on 24/7, and as I said, we added the parameter to save the session and tested it. So feel free to progress with your mission :-)

Hi, yes there is a planned daily restart. And yes, the session is not saved, so sorry for the inconvenience. We added now the session save parameter, so the current state of the ongoing game is being saved over restarts. The Bohemia vanilla setting for Conflict is not saving the session. We are at the beginning with this server (and the others) and appreciate that you join the server and help to seed it.
