Nice introduction and welcome!
Hope to see you on the battlefield!

Good day to all, we will be hosting a community meeting on the 27th at 17:30 GMT right after the EU3 meeting. We will be discussing some very important topics, some news to share and we would be grateful for your input. This is an incredibly important meeting so we would appreciate it if you could attend. This is also an opportunity for you to raise any questions you may have. Hope to see you there.

Hopefully coming to a battlefield near you:
 

stop apologising, not the end of the world and look on the bright side, we all got to go to bed early

Like Pancake said just stick around be active

The picture below is exactly what we were trying to avoid. I'm pleading with you before I revert the change, interact with the community, don't sit in a channel on your own!!! sit in the lobby and actually socialise. If this does not change soon I will reverse the changes.
 
To quote myself:
 

 
I'll merge the thread with the main thread on this issue after some time has passed

Pretty much as the title suggests, a British Army Air Corps Apache attack helicopter (AH-64 Longbow), landed on the school field, the pilot was an ex-member of the cadet force at the school which goes some way to explaining why they brought the beast to our rugby field. Took some videos and pics which I'm sure some of you will be interested to see. Enjoy...

  Take Off:
  Short Bit of Flight: Won't let me embed 3 vids so here's the link: https://youtu.be/R7M7a0CUmSY   30mm M230E1 Chain Gun:   Just another pic:   NB: I was given marshalling duty of the younger kids which explains all the little high-pitched voices

Most certainly is

another solution to this would be to join TS, Its not required but that way you will be notified when a pilot slot is opening.

This has been a persistent issue on our servers but seems to have increased markedly in recent weeks.
A server a a certain capacity eg on EU1 it's 60 players irrespective of whether or not they're in the game so when we see four or five lobby idlers on the server that means that four or five people are missing out on the fun. This situation needs to stop. If you want a pilot slot you will simply have to wait for it you cannot 'call it' nor can you take up space in the lobby. You will be auto kicked and if we notice you getting kicked automatically often we will step in and provide you with a temp ban. Repeat offenders will get longer and longer temp bans culminating in a permaban.
If you want a pilot slot here's what to do take a pen and piece of paper and when joining the server write down the names of the pilots. Ask nicely if the pilots could tell you when they are about to leave (don't constantly bug them for their slot). Also keep an eye on the chat and if you see one leave then hop back to the lobby and take the free space. But while you're on the server we do expect you to play. So pick a slot and play it until you see a pilot slot opening.

Edit: MarkT has made an excellent point below that if you join on ts you have a much better chance of nabbing a pilots slot!

I've never played one of these before and had to google what a pen and paper rpg was but I'm looking forward to it! When are you planning it for?

Hello fellow Ahoyworlders! Welcome to 2016! We hope everyone had a good, enjoyable festive season. This post is just going to somewhat be a start of year update of what is going on internally and externally here at AhoyWorld and what you can expect over the coming weeks.
 
New moderators!
 
It’s with great pleasure that I announce six new moderators to the EU#3. Young Wolf, Ryko, Miksi, Gamerhero, Origins and Icy. I hope you can all join me in welcoming them to the team.
We’re always continuing to look for new moderators and admins to join our ranks.
 
How do you join the team? We don’t work on an application system. The way we work is that one of the team will suggest you in our private forums. Then everyone on the team who has experience with said member will input how they feel this member would do. At the end of the process the Admin Liaison takes all the input and makes the final overall decision.
 
EU#3 and the mods!
 
So with Gauntlet no longer being supported we move onto its successor, Valiant.
Valiant is in the depths of testing at the moment and is not to far away from being publicly released to EU#3. We also moved EU#3 to a new, separate box all just for EU#3. Taking the pressure off flagship which already runs EU#1 and 2, Teamspeak, Squad and a few others.
 
Moving onto the mods and the repo. We’re looking into plans to thin down some of the repo. Mainly looking to remove mods which we can use some of the current larger mods instead of. But more details of this will come in the coming weeks.
 
For new and current users we’re working on a whole EU#3 section on the website. This means you’ll no longer have to browse the forums for the guide, rules, and such like. However all discussion about the server will continue in the forums. We believe this will allow newer users a more friendly approach and easy to locate information.
 
We also just introduced the new Report forms system. They can be found here.
These forms are to be used to report trouble makers, bugs and issues, and give any feedback/ideas that you have. We’d really like to see these been used regularly and moving away from everyone starting threads in the forums about these type of things.
 
The Moderator team came together over the weekend to discuss a list of matters with EU#3. Just to report some of things on the plate:
Planned re-structure of the “Experienced @EU#3” tag. Also the addition of an XML for it.
Updated the pinned threads in the EU#3 Forums (WIP)
EU#3 video trailer competition.
Other matters which will come to light in the near future.
 
The EU#3 video trailer competition will be announced at the end of this week/start of next. For those whom want to start collecting video footage.
 
AhoyWorld Summer Meet up!
 
For those of you who haven’t yet seen AhoyWorld is hosting a Summer meetup this year July 15th-18th In the North of Holland. If this is something you’d be interested in please check the post here. I recommend you be quick as places are limited.
 
Donators!
 
As most of you know last year saw the end to the Ahoy+ scheme in which donations were done through a set fee, recurring payment. In its place we now have Ahoy Donators. This program allows for you to donate any amount you wish and you can choose if you’d like it to be recurring or just a one off payment.
 
We’re always on the lookout for new donators to help keep us up and running. If this is something that you feel like looking into click here!
 
Final notes
 
2015 was an amazing year for everyone here at Ahoyworld and we strongly hope to continue that into 2016. We thank everyone for the support over the last few years and for the support in the future.
 
If you have any questions about the above post please feel free to reply below.
 
Thank you all, Ahoyworld Staff.

TL:DR - The Ip-address & Port for EU#3 change to: 136.243.150.72:2302
 
New dedicated server to host Ahoyworld Arma3 EU#3 & Space engineers !
 
Donated to Ahoyworld by Christiansen (yes fully paid from his own pocket, so THANKS CHRIS !!) we are proud to announce we have a brand new dedicated server up and running.
 
Name of this server:
- Keeping the shiptheme of our other servers (Flagship & LaCapitana) This server will be called: Valliant

Purpose of this server:
- Dedicated Space Engineers instance
- Arma3 EU#3
 
What is it ?
- Bare-metal dedicated server hosted in a German datacenter
- Intel® Core™ i7-6700 Quad-Core Skylake
- 32 GB DDR4 RAM
- 2 x 500 GB SATA 6 Gb/s SSD
- Windows 2012 R2
 
Why EU#3 ?
Moving EU#3 (resource intensive with all mods etc..) will leave more CPU power available on Flagship for EU#1 & EU#2, while having the opportunity to dedicate 4 CPU's of the new server only to EU#3. Performance should therefore increase for all our Arma instances.
 
Make sure to say thanks to Chris for this server when you happen to bump into him, and please post any performance related comments in this thread while we fine-tune the new setup.

Hey and welcome!
Glad to see you got it all sorted

Hi Phil and welcome!

just finished S2, look forward to seeing you around in S3   

Hi chaps, the recording from today's meeting is here:
https://soundcloud.com/ahoy-world-official/2015-summary
 
first 15 minutes is my part, other 15 minutes are questions and answers

You can always follow Ahoyworld.co.uk on Telegram, though not much is being said in their. I'd suggest watching the video, which Josh was certain about was gonna be made. Have fun at the game 

if all goes to plan then I'm in, but I am on call that day so may have to leave early

Looks like we can't agree on what it looks like,

You said you had a name after an ice-cream? One member of our staff coming from that region did a research and guess what? It does not exist, there was one called Nogger Black. It was removed for the same reason you were banned from the servers, racial controversy.
 
I`ve given you a warning through RCON tool to change your name, I also remember other players on server telling you, you will maybe wanna change your name. I`ve kicked you of with message "Change your name".
 
You came back with "NoggNigg HAPPY ADMIN?". After I`ve decided to ban for trying to provoke admin(s) or other players into a rant, reason in the ban "NoggNigg / racist name - make an appeal / PERO".
 
While filling in paper work, you decided to come back as "admin easily offended" name. Proof: (redacted your GUID)
 
 
Then again, you tried to use your original name
 
 
After that, I`ve changed your ban reason straight into "NoggNigg HAPPY ADMIN? / racist name & admin disrespect / PERO" (kept your name when 1st ban was issued due to paperwork already been filled in).
 
So by coming here and slacking admins off, you think we make our decissions out of the sky, without any research or proof? You have been given enough warnings to change your name, you didn`t take them. Now you got butt-hurt you and you wanna stir something up.
 
I believe you have no word here due to lying to us from the beginning.
 
Upper statement represent my and my opinion only!

Can't find anything to do with ice cream related to the name niggnogg, you also sign up with an offensive name so i figure you know exactly what you're doing.
 
Topic stays open so that you can all have your opinions either regarding the immaturely named "pedofingers" calling us out to be immature? or whether i need to invest in sponges to clean up all the tears, perhaps even cream for our apparent butthurt.
 
I'm sure you'll find our ban appeal process to be as fair as it has ever been as our team has an independent community referee. In your specific case i can't speak for everyone but we don't want our community associating with paedophilia or racism thank you.

Toxic,
 
I have never been on one of your gamenights. I hope, most of all, you had some fun aswell.
Theres one thing i hold on to ... and ... try to do in every occasion; I do not believe in punishing for something bad, i believe in motivating to do the right thing.

Hi Viktor, welcome. Im asuming you mean the member tags.
To get your squad XML you need to apply in the reply section of this forums:
http://www.ahoyworld.co.uk/topic/3738-sign-up-for-the-squadxmls/
However you will need to read this forum first and make sure you meet all the requirements:
http://www.ahoyworld.co.uk/topic/3737-new-squadxml-server/
If you make the requiements then someone from aw will look at at it, and make the decision. Please be pateint during this period. If you have any problems then im sure a Field Ambassador or any Admin will help you out on teamspeak
All the best Chuck

I'm already non stop on Ahoy-servers... I was thinking about purchasing AAA game. Now when I think about this I'm better of buying life support unit.
And finally, EU#3 will arise again muhahaha! Chris Frankenstein.
 
Too much hype? No, there's never too much hype on AW! -We even celebrate Pilot Slot Open with hype on EU#1
 
Chris if this become to be an astonishing achievement, we should name F.O.B. after your name.
