They were removed for RP purposes, kinda breaks the immersion when you can see that someone is being flown away despite being on the other side of the map

I'll be waiting.

Hello folks.
 
I’m writing to inform you of some changes to the life server, mainly two!


 
Database wipe
 
We will be wipeing the whole database for a fresh start. I’m doing this so that everyone now starts on the same level. After a few large money inputs during test stage.
 
For all the current players you will receive a 400k package for the work you’ve done over the weekend.
We feel it would be better to do this sooner than later. I hope you all can understand.



 
Police restructure
 
With this i’ll be taking over lead as Chief of Police.
 
I’ll be structuring the police department into three main departments.
 
Patrol, Detective and S.W.A.T.
 
This will work as follows:
 
You will start as a cadet. Then into Patrol Officer under the Superintendent. Your next promotion will be to Senior Patrol Office, Still under the Patrol Superintendent.
 
After this you’ll reach the rank of Sergeant at which stage you may choose which department you’d like to work in.
 
Applications for Patrol Superintendent, S.W.A.T Super and Detective Super are now open!
 
You can apply here for the above positions or apply here to join as cadet.
 
For those who’ve already applied you’ll receive a PM with details.


Thank you everyone and enjoy!

As of recent here at Ahoy we've been probing into different spaces... No matter how disgusting that sounds the findings are interesting!
 

 
Thanks to our team the new insurgency server is definitely alive. although if you are reading this insurgency user, we want you! sign up and chat to us today. the statistics for active users are great. So much so that once we joked about having a second server, but now perhaps it's more serious than that, we're currently ranked 9th according to the tracker
 
want a link to insurgency? look no further
 
 

 
In ARMA 3 news
 
EU1 updates are streaming out however we're taking a fresh look into I&A3, can't say much about it but it's core is ready, it just needs making a little more user friendly. Another Rarek masterpiece for sure though.
 
EU 2, is always empty so we have some ideas for this to try spruce it up a tad! One idea in particular i'm not sure i can talk about, another is a public Zeus event where even joe bloggs can have a go at trying to make a fun mission on the fly, it isn't easy trust me! Finally our game night missions of past could even be thrown into rotation. If you have any ideas or would like to see something in particular go ahead and reply to this or whack me an email! [email protected]
 
Eu 3 still hosting modded missions, namely Patrol ops, a bit like I&A but better suited to smaller operations, involving Task Force radio, this server is a favourite amongst our members and admins, if you'd like to give it a go try out Arma3 sync, our modded catalogue is available on there. Using Arma3 sync you can keep up to date easily too. Here's a guide for you to follow step-by-step
 
Life server? interested in it? please let us know so we can gauge the interest and hopefully provide another well administrated server
 
 

Fancy something different? David's pc went on the blink and as a result we've got some great new twitch content.
perhaps you'd like to see some trucking or an ALMIGHTY TRAFFIC JAM!!!

Can I be super fussy and ask for the Insurgency banner to be placed above DayZ instead of at the bottom? Purely for aesthetic reasons so there is a gradual colour change rather than Minecraft blue straight back to Insurgency black I know its a ridiculously minor request but I figured I'd ask

Hello there!
I'm proud to announce that AhoyWorld now has it's very own 24 slot pvp server for insurgency!
http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/108.61.112.191:27015/
Enjoy! AhoyWorld admin team.

It's the summer holidays so as well as forest fires we also have lots of idiots on our servers and because we have a limited number of admins we need your help in making ahoyworld a pleasant experience for everyone.

So picture this:
Player A is a regular player but doesn't use teamspeak (TS)
Player B is also a regular player and is on TS
Player C well he's just a troublemaker!

So player C teamkills several players over a few minutes.

Player A notices this and doesn't like what he sees so he asks in side chat:
"Any Admin on? Player C is tking!"

If an admin is on he will know immediately who to look for and what player c is up to.

If no admin is on Player B who's on TS can poke an admin and let him know. But it's vital that you pass on the correct information. Something like "tker on eu1" or "you need to ban player c" leaves us with very little info to go on and requires a bit of investigation. Whereas something like "Player C is tking on EU1" lets us know who is doing what.

Sometimes an admin will do the admin magic remotely and may ask for confirmation in side chat. It's up to you the player base to help us admin so if you say that Player C was tking and you see an admin asking for confirmation, help them out and just type confirm in side chat.

Check the map to see if he's in a vehicle it may be the gunner who's doing the tking and the driver being reported so let us know before we kick the wrong person.

Important Notes:
Don't TK in self defense or retaliation, ever! I have in the past kicked the person who was, in fact, the reporter of the tk. He had tk'd the tker just after I joined the game and as i only had limited information i just kicked the first person i saw tking.

Please don't tell us to ban someone, tell us who is doing what so we can investigate it properly, it's quite distracting when we someone saying 'ban him' in side chat when we're still trying to figure out what's happening.

I agree that sometimes the wait time for helicopters can be long. But in my year and a half at Ahoyworld I've never experienced an hour wait. As always if pilots arn't doing there job properly contact an admin and we will start removing them. 

Thank you!!! It worked!

Post here if you think we missed an item from the new VA system!

Hello folks!
 
Due to some unexpected issues with our ArmA3 servers we have been forced to take them offline for some unexpected maintenance.
We will be working our hardest to get them back up, running smoothly as soon as we can.
 
 
UPDATE:
 
The server maintenance is scheduled for this Saturday.
 
- Teamspeak: A backup Teamspeak will be running on ts.ahoyworld.co.uk, make sure you have this mentioned in your favorites and do NOT connect to our old IP-address directly, or you will not be able to connect during the outage.
 
- Minecraft: Will also be down during the maintanance. A snapshot will be taken on Friday, all world changes made  AFTER Friday afternoon will be lost !!
 
- Arma3: Will probably be back online late in the afternoon, ready for prime-time gaming (fingers crossed)
 
Staff will be online and available during the day\evening\night during the re-install and re-config of the servers. We will keep this thread updated below with the latest status changes. So keep an eye on the red-text below.
 
Once we have everything working again, we will probably have to restart the server several times in order to make configuration changes. Please bear with us during that time.
 
Also once we open the servers back up for the public, we would appreciate everyone to report the problems you might be having, so we can sort everything out as quick as possible.
 
Many thanks, AhoyWorld Administration.

Servers still currently down. We've tried everything we can to get them back online, unfortunately it looks like we need to do a complete reinstall with our box, this means that we'll have a teamspeak disruption unfortunately. We'll do our best to get everything back up and running smoothly in good time. Sorry about the delay
