FAQ's
I am a known player on the servers, but only registered on the forums recently, can I still apply?:
Above requirements are a rough guideline to ensure we only get longstanding active members to use this service. We know that we have some real solid players that are not active on the forums, but still want those players to be able to participate in this. Go ahead and sign up now, and apply for squad membership anyway. If staff knows you from in-game we will have no problem adding you to the squad even though you only recently signed up.
 
Can I use multiple squads?:
Yes, however, you will have to change links in your arma 3 profile each time you swap
 
How do I find my Teamspeak 3 UID?:
- Open Teamspeak 3
-Navigate to Tools > Identities

 
How do I apply the squad tags in-game?:
- Copy the squad.xml url you are apart of from the Private message sent to you
 
Paste the link in the squad XML box then click apply:

 
- Log-on to our server and the logo should be visible on your uniform and the side of the vehicle you are driving.
 
 
RULES !!
Carrying our logo, name & tag makes you a representative of our community as a whole. We like to think of ourselves as a friendly and trustworthy community and would like to keep it that way. We do take great pride in keeping up the longstanding Arma community friendliness and netiquette as has been the case since 2001. If you cannot live up to this, we will have to remove you from the xml, this might happen without further warning, and in some cases even result of being banned for all our services including the forum.
 
Offenses that will result in retracting your squad.xml membership:
- Any other community or group reports you as misbehaving on their server or forum while carrying our tags (regardless if it's proven or not)
- Misbehaving on our own server resulting in a ban by one of the admins will get you removed from the server
- Any other offense against our rules that will force us to assume you are not fit to represent us publicly
 
The staff-team reserves the right to reject any membership application for the squad.xml for any or no reason as we deem fit. In the end, we have full control who can or cannot represent our community.
 

What a difference a year makes, this time last year we were looking at closing shops and now I would say we are pretty stable for at least another year

 
As mentioned numerous times before, thank you all for your support and long may it continue.
 
I would like to apologies on the delay of IA4 and its new AWE counterpart, it has taken a lot longer than we had anticipated due to a number of reasons. (real life) Hopefully it wont be too long now.
 
Lastly, This will be my last update, I have decided that I will call it time come the end of this month and step down from the staff team completely.
I just want to thank each and everyone of you for your support especially those in the staff team and to those that brought me in, helped me along the way and trusted me at the top, thank you, you know who you are ❤️

Ahoy,
 
I thought now would be a suitable time for a community update, as the title suggests I have a major announcement to make, and the last community update was in March, so I think the time is right to give the community an update about the current situation at AW.
 
Xwatt Leaves Core Staff
As the title of this community update suggests, I will be stepping down from CS. The main reason for this is that my own personal schedule has been getting increasingly busy and with that, I feel that I cannot the devote the time to AW that it deserves, therefore the sensible decision would be to step down. @Ryko always puts it best, real life comes first and must be given priority. I'd like to thank @Mark T for giving me the opportunity to become a Core Staff member, and I would like to thank the current CS team, and the staff team for the support they have given me over the years. But most importantly, I would like to thank you, the community, for backing me and supporting the decisions I have made in the past few years in an effort to positively move this community forward.
 
On a brighter note, I would like to congratulate @MidnightRunner and @Norris, our new members to the Core Staff team. I have no doubt that these two will be able to make a positive impact to AW for years to come, and they have my full backing for any decision they will make. Midnight will be taking over the role of AWE manager, and Norris will be taking over the role of Public manager. I would like you all the congratulate these two, and I want you to support them wholly as you have supported myself.
 
I&A4
The development of I&A4 is now back into full swing, and masses of progress has been made in priming it for public release. Just under a week ago, we completed a full 100% run of the mission, highlighting the progress in stability and allowing for persistent mission progress over the span of a few days. Please continue to leave your feedback in the dedicated I&A4 feedback thread, it is immense help in aiding Ryko to develop the mission. Feedback can be anything from bugs and missing items, to your feedback in how you think mission should be played. All feedback is welcome, and ultimately will shape the end product for the mission.
 
 
AWE and Gamenights:
AWE has had a ton of progress since the last community update in March, and we will continue to support the growth and development of the server for the foreseeable future. Currently, the server is rotating maps and factions after every one run of Liberation, and this method is aiding in keeping player retention, compared to the two runs that we did in the past. Support has been mostly positive for the switch back to CUP and ACRE, and we will continue to listen to community feedback about how we can better improve the server. Be sure to attend our Liberation Sunday events, in which you can find information for that in the events section of the forum.
 
As for Midnights campaigns, we are currently in a transition period between moving towards a new campaign in both the Tuesday, and Friday operations. For the Tuesday campaign, this will be moving towards a zombie orientated mission, and the Friday campaign will be moving back to the PMC series, and more information about that can be found here:
 
 
Alongside Midnights missions, we have two gamenights from @BenjaminHL planned, keep an eye out on the events section of the forum for the dates of those missions.
 
Final Note:
As always I want to thank the community for helping us to move forward in a positive direction. I want to thank the donators for their continued support in keeping AW financially stable, even during a pandemic where peoples income may be reduced. Being a community powered by your donations is a portrayal of the support you have for our community, and we will continue to make the suggestions and needs of our community the focal point before any major decisions are made.
 
On a more personal note, I would like to thank all of you for the support you have given me as Core Staff for the past few years. I have absolutely loved it, and it is with regret that I have to step down, but I am in no doubt that this community will continue to live on and prosper, as it has done since it has been founded. I would like to give my personal congratulations to @MidnightRunner and @Norris, both of you have my full backing, and I am excited to see the progression of AW a few years down the line from now.
 
Thank you all,
Xwatt & The CoreStaff Team.
 

Hey all,

As some of you may have already seen or heard, AhoyWorld will be making an official return to SQUAD with our very own public server! Thanks to the efforts of @GhostDragon, we should be up and running shortly with new Squad Moderators on standby to help out in ensuring that everything runs smoothly.
 
Many of you will have noticed a recent spike in SQUAD activity both in and out of this community. This is largely due to the increasing playerbase and active development of SQUAD. It is for this reason that staff deem now the perfect time for AhoyWorld to get a piece of that action! Our own server will not only give existing AhoyWorld SQUAD players a home, but also provides the opportunity for new members to join the community.
 
However, effort will need to be made in order to get the ball rolling, so we encourage all AW/SQUAD players to join the fun on our server once it's up and running.
 
Stay posted for updates on AhoyWorld's SQUAD server and I look forward to seeing you all in the field very soon!
 
 
 
P.S. SQUAD is dropping a big update within a week, so be ready for plenty of action.

Map: Lythium
Mission: ALiVE

Friendly faction: United States Marine Corps (USMC)
Enemy faction: Middle-Eastern Insurgents
Other faction: Afghanistan National Army (ANA)
Starting position: (wip)
Starting date: 27/07/2019

Status: Defeat
"Although much progress was made by the U.S. Marine forces into the region for the first half of the conflict, prolonged fighting ground allied forces to a halt, locking both sides into tug-of-war battles over territories such as Morut. A failed last ditch effort by the Marines to kill or capture the Taliban force's leader in a strategically fortified town resulted in multitudes of American casualties and the capture of Cpl. Johnson who's current location is unknown, suspected torture and intel-loss.
