    ShadowWalker got a reaction from YarwoodUK in Perks for donating..   
    While this is a touchy subject, we are talking about supporting a server, not making money. Using donations as a way to get extra cash in your pocket is a bit meh. Over the years of hosting servers I have come to the realization if the community enjoys what they have been provided they will help support it. Having donation perks to support a dedicated server, horribly setup and crowded VPS's is very unprofessional. Hosting servers is a hobby to me and many others, not a business. This is where the line becomes fuzzy. A lot of server providers forget that.
     
    If you can honestly say you can afford to host a quality server with good specs that will fulfill the needs of the game you are providing for a year, without a single donation then this is for you. If you are basing the dedicated server off of server donations, and need to fall back on donation perks in order to keep the server alive then this isn't for you. Many of us do this because we enjoy doing it as a hobby. We look at it similar to what a DM from DnD looks at it like. We enjoy providing entertainment for our community. 
     
    Now don't get me wrong, getting those donations to help support a server, so it doesn't have to come out of your pocket are nice, setting the server model around it to survive is not.
     
    Just my opinion.

    ShadowWalker got a reaction from Heisenberg_ZAF in RE: Duplication of Items / Gear - ArmA 3 Epoch   
    It is a known bug, hopefully resolved soon. Anything duped that is storage will be shared between the two wearing it so if items start disappearing out of your inventory you will know why.

    Default limit is currently 1000. I raised up to 2500 on my server but with the next patch come a maintain system which delete old/non maintained bases.

    I think a lot of players are not realizing you need to build a stone foundation for a flat surface to start building.
