Hello,
I'm Dan also known as orangesherbet- haven't been active on these forums for some time but I've been a tester and supporter of Epoch since the early days in 2012. More importantly, I've made lasting friendships with the development team and surrounding community of Epoch Mod. With the release of version 0.5, I wanted to organize an event that would bring all of us together to celebrate the time we've spent playing, testing, and developing (I'm not a dev) the mod!
The event itself will take place on Chernarus, where everything started! We will have several activities for participants including a race from Kamenka debug line to NE Airfield, a melee arena, demolition derby, "Tower of Terror" built by community developer and friend SLI, stunt contest, fishing, and base building!
I'll be hosting the event on my stream and Discord, but I do want to make it clear that this event is about the celebration of Epoch Mod's development and not a promotion for my stream or Discord server. I would recommend participants join my Discord server as that is where players will be welcomed to chat with each other and the admins to help us stay organized and have fun! Feel free to leave the Discord server at the conclusion of the event if you wish. We do have another Epoch Event in the near future and I will share that information with everyone once we have a date set!

Stay Tuned for server info Saturday morning!
How about nukes, destroying bases randomly every 7 days? Seriously, there should be more global events in Epoch. Earthquakes seem to be boring, since the loot they give are crap. But always catch me by surprise and I jump in seat :D
I have more ideas, just today all are out of my head. Will edit post.
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!
