Already really disappointed with some of the servers. Custom loadouts, 24h day, "No camping traders" (the non-safezone ones).
 
Is there any european server that is even close to the wonderful Mell's House? A server where we could actually play the dog eat dog style epoch experience without having to fear server owners to make us spawn with 2 Whiskey Noodles every time or suddenly changing the server to always daytime?
 
And preferably also no rules that make imaginary safezones against areas or groups of players. 
 
 

I will be adding config vars for spawnchance of the antagonists soon and we have much more on the way for 0.3+. Also, we are adding support on our side for the AiA terrain pack with 0.3 so that will open up a lot of maps for use with Epoch. I and assure you it will not stay this way forever.

We did not simply edit the DLL we made it. The DLL checks the a3_epoch_server.pbo to make sure it is compatible and not changed. This does prevent changes to the pbo but only so we get proper feedback and bug reports and not on a 1001+ different changes.
 
The idea it to encourage people to make actual server side mods or mission edits to do what they want and not just simply changing our code. It has been proven in the past that server admins will fix a "problem" then never report is as a bug then complain on the next release because they have to edit the files again.

Arma 3 Epoch has never used profile space, only the servers using hacked files used that. Redis is 1000x better for Epoch than MySQL

We are working hard on the patch right now. What they have is a "Test" version that is not finished. All official hosts will get the files soon enough and the server files will be made public shortly. 

Since we are making great strides on the backend development thanks to our newest team member Fank. I feel that we should be ready for a public release of our server files on approximately December 1st. I know there was a thread for those "Trusted Communities" but the demand has been so great that we feel the need to make it public for everyone. Leading up to Dec. 1st, our code developers will all be hard at work adding features and fixing as many bugs as we can. Also, our content developers will be adding more content as it becomes ready.
 
The version number will likely be 0.2.5 or 0.3 by this time and not the 0.5 as I stated before. Please keep in mind that we are still very much in Alpha and will be for some time. Running a server is not going to be easy or without problems, errors, and plenty of headaches. 
 
After the files are released GSP's may start selling servers and private server hosts can host on there own hardware. I will be getting in touch with each of our current GSP supporters before release to make sure they have had a chance to test and report any bugs so they can be prepared to host when we do release the files.
