    but if there was a recurring donation option I'd be all over that. 

    We've now added the option with 4 different price plans to choose from, payments can be made using PayPal or Bank Cards.

    There is still a lot of work to be done as to figuring out what benefits each plan has and to integrate a subscribers box.

     

    But for now it's very basic and it works :)

    Ahoy all,

     

    Not much to report this month, we have some good news and unfortunately not so good news.

     

    AWE

    As you are aware changes have already been made in AWE;

    Colsta has stepped down handing his Team Lead role over to Mouldy.

    Repo size has been massively reduced to 16g in total.

    There are more to follow which I can't go in to details just yet.

     

    I would like to thank all the AWE staff team for their hard work in making this happen and continuing to improve the experience for all. 

     

    IA4

    We are very close to completion of Invade and Annex 4 although no date is yet to be revealed.

    Our first beta test will begin tomorrow Friday 26th October at 1900UTC on EU2.

     

    Lastly, the not so good news;

    Our server fees and Teamspeak licence are due this month, once those are paid our funds will be critical.

    Piranha has kindly donated privately to last us until Jan, If this trend continues then we may have to look at the possibility of closing down in January/February time.

    We have already decided to drop down to a smaller Teamspeak server to save cost and are discussing other options to ensure our survival.

     

    See you in the 'fields,

    Ahoy All,

     

    It's that time again for a brief update on what's been happening inside and outside of AhoyWorld.

    Not much has been going on behind the scenes with regards to administration, some have been busy with real lives while the rest (@Ryko) have been focusing on the development and testing of I&A4.

    In this update I have decided to try something new, a letter from Core, rather than just hear me waffling away, you will also be hearing from the rest of the team.

     

    I would like to start off by welcoming @BorderLive and @J0hnson to the AWE moderation team, both have vast knowledge and experience within the community and have ideas that will hopefully help revive AWE.

    Discussions are well under way on what to do with Enhanced and what plans we may have for its future, all will be informed along with your valuable input before anything goes ahead.

    We are looking for more active Enhanced moderators so if you feel you meet the requirements, apply here

    Squad XML memberships have now been added to the Player Tools tab on top of the forums, this makes easier to navigate and submit your application.

    Last month we ran a competition for our Donors to give them the opportunity to display their very own image on our I&A4 billboards. (gutted mine didn't make the grade) so I would like to thank @Stanhope and @Michal who posted numerous pictures which are already live around the base.

    Keep your eyes peeled, we will soon be hosting another competition for a chance to win the Official SCUM game.

    ---

     

    Last but not least, I would like to thank everyone who has participated and contributed to the development and testing of I&A4 and look forward to seeing what the final version will offer.

    "We are warming up the engines for the release of I&A4 very soon!
    You may have seen we are using the automatic messages more on EU1 and 2, this is so we can share short snippets of information quicker to a lot more people.

    It's good to see EU2 being used as overflow more now as EU1 is full some evenings

    We now have an EU1,2,7 chat open on discord for anyone to join! https://discordapp.com/invite/z5k8R3H"

    AWE Server
    With the addition to the two members of staff we are looking for ways to increase server popularity and searching for new ways to keep the player-base engaged and focused on the aim of AWE, fun engaging team orientated game-play! We hope to have more information on the changes to the server and welcome all feedback that you feel with aid the server moving forward. 

    As the first part of this plan we have created the discord linked above to help people within the community discuss topics that interest them and find players to play on server with.

    MSO
    Current campaign is as Russian spetznaz with limited gear on Altis. We are destabilizing a insurgent force that has taken over most of Altis during our now 3 week long campaign. 

    A suprise was that the NATO force I had guarding Kavala got completely overrun by insurgents during this timespan. 

    It would be cool if more players would try out the MSO. Also, the move to steam workshop with the mods was a success which keeps my work to a minimum.

    Community Update #1

    in News

    Posted

    Ahoy Members,

     

    This is just a brief update on what's been happening internally and externally in AhoyWorld.

     

    First, I would like to thank you all for the kind words regarding the change over.

    It certainly has been an eventful few weeks. There has been a lot of discussions involving finances, staff structure, activity and how we can improve upon them.

    First change I'd like to announce is how the staff structure is displayed: this will clarify the roles of each member and make easier to know who reports to who.

     

     

    We will keep this updated here:

    As you can see, there are positions available that we are looking to fill.

     

    ---

     

    Second change made is how we as staff communicate.

     

    We've been using Telegram for the last few years for business-related chats, quick-fire questions and response and felt that it was time to move on. So without further ado, we have finally decided to migrate over to Discord. 

    We felt that by doing this we could better accommodate you guys which should help us engage and interact with our members more. Being a gaming platform, hopefully it will expose and grow AhoyWorld again.

     

    You're all more than welcome to click the banner below:

     

    https://discordapp.com/invite/z5k8R3H

     

    Please bear in mind that this will be a TEXT chat only and not a replacement for TeamSpeak.

     

    ---

     

    Now's also a good time to confirm something we teased a few weeks ago: Invade & Annex 4.

    We have been hard at work developing the sequel to Invade & Annex, rewriting the mission from scratch with an emphasis on efficiency and security, meaning more fps and (hopefully) less hacking. We'll be running an open beta test in the near future, so stay tuned.

     

    And lastly, I would like to take a moment to thank all the staff for their hard work behind the scenes, especially @Ryko for his rigorous testing and development of I&A4 and @GhostDragon for maintaining the back end stuff to making sure that you all have a smooth and enjoyable experience within AhoyWorld.

     

    That's all for now, we look forward to seeing you on our various virtual battlefields.

    Taking the Reins

    in News

    Posted

    Hi all,

     

    I will keep this brief,

     

    As you've all probably noticed Piranha hasn't been around much lately, this is due to a number of reasons which I won't go into, so with a heavy heart he has decided that it would be best for the community to step down from his leadership role and hand the reins over to me.

     

    This isn't my first rodeo, and I'm sure further down the line I may make mistakes, possibly big mistakes, and bad decisions that not many people may agree with. Nevertheless what I can bring to the table is openness, transparency and hopefully stability.

     

    There are a few areas that I will be looking to improve on; clarity of roles, community engagement and most importantly communication within staff.

     

    I hope that you will all back me through this difficult period and be patient with me in trying to turn this community around.

     

    Remember, if you have any ideas/suggestions please bring them to us, we are always looking to improve.

     

    Lastly, I would like to thank @PiranhA for his contribution and wish him all the best for his future endeavours.

     

    Mark T

    The abolsut simplest one would be the admin to act up like a admin and just solve the issue at hand by making a desicion by his gut feeling and common sense.

    In this instance there wasn't an admin online, how do we proceed then? you could complete 3 side mission in under an hour not many admins may be present to witness that either, what do we do then?

    I will not task our admins to monitor who does and does not partake in side missions just to find out who is eligible for the rewards, Its just not feasible.

    After all we are there to enjoy ourselves as well. I understand the frustration that things might not go your way but remember, we are not here to detriment peoples experience, it is in fact quite the opposite.

    So rather than bemoan about our admins, why not try to come up with a proper solution like other people here have, not just "gut feeling and common sense"

    Might I suggest we remove the rewards altogether and just concentrate on FOB assets?

    Gamerbug pretty much summed it up, As Stan mentioned there is something being worked on but not much details can be shared yet.

    If a special reward that many people like spawns and I knew who was at the side mission I'd move the reward away from the reward zone to somewhere it can't immediately be found.  If someone from the side mission came looking for it I'd give it to them.  If nobody came looking I'd put it back at the rewards area.

    This is down to Admin discretion, Not something I want to see a Spartan doing.

    Not a solution, but maybe an improvement:

     

    Spawn all Side Rewards locked, unlock after three minutes.

     

    Should provide enough time for someone to respawn and stake their claim, while not leaving the vehicle unusable if nobody has a claim.

    5 seconds left :)
