The Israeli Defense Force has decided to send a special force to mount an assault on the insurgent forces in Zargabad: under cover of darkness, the IDF has several objectives to accomplish in a tight time line.
 
This game night will be a little different, in that you start as BLUFOR, with all the technical advantages: night vision goggles, radios, silenced modern weapons, etc; if you die, you'll respawn as the Zargabad insurgent OPFOR.
 
BLUFOR wins if it can accomplish 3 out of 5 possible objectives within 60 minutes.
OPFOR wins if all BLUFOR members are killed, or time runs out before 3 objectives are completed.

Hello Smog! You're not the only one with this question! A lot of people always ask about zeus because, months ago, zeus was allowed for EVERYONE on EU 1 and 2.

Unfortunately, this did not really work out that well. Zeus is a tool, and like all tools, they can be used for greatness: Spicing up AOs (Areas of Operation), making custom missions, etc. But tools can also be used for great harm: people spamming the lightening bolt, people spawning in a bunch of crap, people using the Zeus interface to see where enemy units are and cheat at the AOs. It was truly chaos during this time, and thus a lot of new players in EU 1 and 2 didn't stay for long, so the power of zeus has been restricted.

Don't worry though, there's still hope! any administrators, core staff, or Spartans have Zeusing abilities. If you're an active player, you'd want to try to achieve the rank of Spartan in order to do public zeusing. You can get this through becoming an active and well respected member of the community (admins know you and only have positive things to say about you, no bans, respected and known by other seasoned members of ahoyworld). Trust is hard to build, especially over a medium where you're virtually anonymous (the internet), so it takes time. However, with the proper dedication and a good head on your shoulders, you can get to the rank of Spartan and be able to use Zeus on the servers.
 
You can always also host an event with a private server where you can do public zeusing on it for members of ahoyworld, just drop a post about the event after talking with an administrator

I hope this answered your question Smog, and welcome to  the Ahoyworld forums as well!

So I'm having a really slow morning at work, browsing the forums and thinking.
 
so I thought hey lets start a discussion!
 
which game server would you want to see next? Game can be present or future.
 
also include in your reply why and let's see where we end up  

From what I hear, people are in need of a new I&A server as they are filing up fast and it would make sense to have a Tanoa I&A server, hell, I'd probably play a couple sesh's on that.
 
I myself can't really think of any other server's to use, I know that a lot of servers in the past (life, DayZ Standalone, squad etc) only lasted a couple of months at most so I don't think there would be much of a point on that front. It's definitively a funny one trying to figure out a game or game mode that would be enjoyable for the community and preferably last longer than a fish's memory. I'll probably lurk around on this thread and see what people think, see if I have anything to add at a later date.
 
 

Thinking along the lines of PvP in Tanoa. King of the hill maybe?
