Creation of Arma 3: Epoch Mod started on December 15th 2013, and while community support has had its ups and downs along with the contest it did encourage us to spend more time working on the project. Epoch was a top 10 finalist in the MANW total conversion category and won the popular community vote and that I am very grateful for.
Epoch Development Team are all volunteers and have each put in hundreds if not thousands of unpaid hours into helping create and release Epoch Mod for everyone to enjoy. Making game ready Arma assets, game modes etc. is not easy and can be very time-consuming. Special thanks go to all those that have supported us throughout our development! Epoch Mod would not exist without you! 
Plans for next year include working with the community to further refine the MP survival framework and adding more support for singleplayer editor based missions and scenarios. The 1.0 update will bring a massive release of all remaining asset sources under APL-SA, and will be considered in the hands of the community to fork and develop as they choose. 
Happy Holidays and New Year! Cheers to the pursuit of the next big thing!

Came across a cool looking  gamemode that also uses Epoch mod and figured I would share it here.

The year is 2025, six months after person or persons unknown unleashed the H7D3 virus on the world, killing a large proportion of the world's population and turning many of the "survivors" into mindless "zombies" - feral and infectious, very much alive and very, very hungry...
Trying to create the feel of John Ringo's Black Tide Rising universe with less weaponry available, though if you want to chase Zs with a Saiga they are around. Knock yourself out.

Required Mods
Ryan's Zombies and Demons: currently using COS to spawn the Zs, though there are also native spawns around the map with more to come. Normal infected in urban areas are walkers, the spawns are fast Zombies so watch out.
CBA_A3, CUP Weapons, CUP Units, CUP Vehicles: it's 2025 with 2025 weapons and vehicles. I've completely overhauled loots.h for CUP but not increased the loot spawn chances.
CUP Terrains Core: for upcoming map changes and the ports of old Wicked AI missions.
Tryk's Multi-Player Uniforms: lots more uniforms for the uniform junkies out there. This is the one that you want if you are downloading via Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=779520435
RDS Civilian Vehicles: primarily for the deployable bicycle but you also get a load of old favourites including Thomas the Tractor and the excellent Yamaha TT650!
Enhanced Movement Mod: Sneeki Breeki your way into a base with a buddy vaulting you over the wall, or just climb on a roof or through a window to avoid the infected!
Hellenic Armed Forces Mod (HAFM): for all those nice Greek uniforms and vehicles. 
NI Arms All-in-One Mod: All the weapons and attachments from the mod are available at the traders and spawn as loot. 
Scripts
A3EAI: with vehicle and helicopter patrols. AI patrols and spawns replace the default Epoch antagonists (apart from the Epoch UAVs and subsequent militia if you don;t shoot them down). The AI will interact with the Zs and vice versa.
SEM, BlackEagl's and WAI Missions: all with weapons, equipment and loot customized for CUP and including SEM Convoy missions. And yes, there is the WAI Nuke mission. If no one's dealt with that before the timer expires run like hell
DayZ style Helicopter Crash Sites: with reduced CUP-based loot.
C-130 Supply Drops, guarded by AI and with CUP-based loot.
Deployable and packable bicycles and unarmed mozzies, so long as you have a Tool Kit (available in starting gear) and the other build parts (just Vehicle Repair Parts for a bicycle).
New buildables at your base including working Portable Lights, a Sink and Field Toilet (both are water sources), Razor Wire, Watch Tower, various Sandbag Walls, Fuel Pump, large and small Camo Nets, Loudspeakers, a Burn Barrel and an ATM.
Black Market Traders in trader camps and elsewhere.
HALO/Ground Spawns and you can select limited Starting Gear
Halv's Repair and Reammo Script, rearm and repair your vehicles in the repair shops at gas stations
 @Sp4rkY's Extended Safe Zones with Vehicle Protection!
Advanced Towing and Advanced Rappelling
Features
All players are BLUFOR, roaming, dynamic and mission AI are OPFOR, infected are RESISTANCE allowing the interaction between the Ai and infected - they will fight each other when spawned together. No building restrictions, build where ever you want 150m Jammer range 7-day base maintenance 48-hour vehicle locks 4 hour restarts, day/night cycle PvE or PvP, your choice (but remember the AI and Zs will be after you too) The only safe zones are the five marked on the map (north, south, east, west and central). Everywhere else on the map is a free-fire zone so stay frosty, and alert.

This server has been decommissioned due to lack of donations to keep it running.
The year is 2045, twenty years after person or persons unknown unleashed the H7D3 virus on the world, killing a large proportion of the world's population and turning many of the "survivors" into mindless "zombies" - feral and infectious, very much alive and very, very hungry... Since The Fall, humanity has made great strides in reclaiming this world from the infected. Automated factories have been brought online 24x7 to produce weaponry and equipment which was under development before civilization collapsed. While twenty years have passed, the infected still survive anywhere that there is food and water and, though clearing continues in North America, Europe and Asia, attention has moved to clear the islands of the south Pacific.
Trying to continue to develop and expand the feel of John Ringo's Black Tide Rising universe into the future. This server features Vanilla ARMA3 and Apex weaponry, vehicles and equipment on an incredibly atmospheric map. The numbers of infected are higher, thanks to the smaller map size and reduction in the number of mods.

Ah I understand...
That could be an issue. Thanks for let me know.
I will take a look at this as soon I start my next update.

But I can´t promise anything because the TP function is in the serverside addon which requires the epoch serverfiles to be fully loaded first. But I will check this out.
EDIT: on the other hand  I have to say, when I was testing it while I created the function, every vehicle was TP´ed "before" I was fully login. So its kinda hard to reproduce this issue... Just give me some time...
cheers

Is there a possibility to lower the time after restart, till vehicles teleport to parking zone ?
some buyed a vehicle, wanted to walk to it and it spawned away.
others use the time to buy something, get in and teleport to parking place with it..

updated to v0.564
[fixed] issue where fresh-spawns are able to steal a not-owned vehicle in half a second
[added] if using the "lifted vehicles protection", there will also be a check for the owners, so stealing is not possible
 
cheers

UPDATE! (v0751.0)
Check the CHANGELOG.md for details

It is only an experience of some players.
For me it´s ok also, only one time i had this bug for myself. But they did this change in the options and never had that problem anymore.

You have to switch from "Arma 3 Apex controls" to "Arma 3 Standard controls" in your Settings of Arma 3.
cheers

updated to v0.502
[added] (optional) owner check for lifted vehicles (they also are protected now)
[added] new variable in clientside config.sqf (useVehLifted [true|false] recommended is true)
 
cheers

I will check this out later. Thx

updated to v0.443
    * [fixed] issue with chopping trees after leaving a safezone (thx to ReDBaroN for noticing this bug)
    * [added] (optional) prohibit players to chop trees while in safezones (EPOCH_fnc_playerFired.sqf / check instructions in README.md)
    * [added] (optional) using chainsaws or sledgehammers in safezones will have no result (EPOCH_fnc_playerFired.sqf / check instructions in README.md)
    * [updated] BattlEye Filters
 
cheers

Fixed the github.
There went anything wrong while syncing it this night. Now the actual scripts.txt is online.
On the other hand, check the README.md, you can find the new instructions for the filters there also. ;)

These entrys shouldn´t related to ESVP.
But for going sure u simply could take ESVP out and check again if these messages will shown.
 
What are u running at your testserver, stable branch 1.60 & stable Epoch 0.38 or any Dev/Experimental build?
And which additional scripts are installed, perhaps this could be a useful information.
I will try to reproduce your described bug now.
 
EDIT:
Yes, the bug is true.
I hope i can figure out a fast solution. I will keep you informed.
 
EDIT2:
Figured out the reason, working on a fix now...
