Currently the option is disabled and you shouldn't need to maintain anything, however this is known to be buggy / overwritten in the server objects code, I am back from my "break" later today and will be putting in a 14 day maintenance, sometimes if placed outside the area it will just go after 7 Days I will check this when I have the chance, for now if you have anything else disappear write it down and I'll get round to giving the items/materials back. You are correct about the safes for now they do not disappear however this may not be the case in the future however I will let everyone know if this changes.

If you wish to become an admin within the ark server please let myself / Dane or Deadman know.

So with the recent addition of severs there is a possibility to run multiple events and even just an event server (Not a definite thing). So what games would you like to see the events on and what sort of events would you participate in. An explanation of what each event means is below.
Treasure Hunt: Given something to find in an area, a crate safe etc.
Team Competition: Teams of 2/3/4 etc given tasks to carry out, PvP events, Race for wool Competitions, etc.
Objective Style: Capture the Flag, Transport the Vehicle etc.
General Knowledge: Quiz on certain areas/games to give in-game rewards etc.
Clue Trails: Answer the clue get given location of another clue until you get a reward.
If you vote other please answer in the following format will make things easier to record.
Reply format:
Your Game Choice with reason.
Your Event Choice with reason.
General Comment.
If this does go ahead and people would like to make this sort of thing a regular occurrence I would like to have a group of volunteers (don't have to be admins) to monitor/record the events to make sure it is fair etc.
In terms of prizes for each of the events this may range from in game rewards to steam cards or if you're lucky games.

Issue resolved?? Hoping to do this soon but it does require some work as it does mean that admins have a lot of power to do bad things, not saying any admin would, but if an admin got upset/annoyed with the community then it could result in large damage.

Using A3 Launcher: http://a3launcher.com/
-
First set your arma 3 directory and where you want your mods installed, (Recommend: Both in Arma 3 Folder)
-
Next subscribe/download the following mods: Cup Unit, weapons and vehicles, Exile and Community Based Addons (CBA)
- Finally Search Old Guys Gaming and click the play button, if done correctly arma will launch and you'll be on the server.
Using Arma 3 Launch in Steam:
If connecting through website use this method.
- Firstly download the mods for the server or subscribe to them on the steam workshop.
-
Either use the add Steamworkshop icon or add local mod. It is recommended you put the Mods in your Arma 3 Directory or Documents and add the mods to arma 3 in the mods section.
-
Once done hit the load all button feel free to make a preset. This should then look like the above picture.
-
In the Servers tab under internet search Old Guys Gaming and Favorite them by clicking the star icon.
-
First set your arma 3 directory and where you want your mods installed, (Recommend: Both in Arma 3 Folder)
-
The GPS shows a small icon (upside down triangle) when in a vehicle. Just a correction to the above you can't buy a GPS but are easily found on AI. There are lots of functions for the GPS just right click, and finally I don't think an icon on the map showing your exact position is good, as you can't limit it to just the GPS hence it has no value and that I don't want the server to be an easy life and everyone gets bored.
However thanks for the input and other questions feel free to post below.

Hi all I just want to share my thoughts and experience for Arma 3 Exile PVE server.
I would like to see more buildings stuff like I mention extended base mod, But it not supported anymore! But maybe something new will come out soon! I love to build and make my base well defended!
This is something we can look however adding something like this would probably need a server wipe or various other things in order to make it work,
12 hours ago, Designated Survivor said:I also like to see Tanks and more armed Vehicles? and the missions have 30+ AI and more Armed helis! but people might use them to wipe missions easy. But I just imagine us in tanks roll in city and clear it haha
Currently this is on our prestige list with various options of armed vehicles:
12 hours ago, Designated Survivor said:I would like to see more Ai in town or huge assault to a city has 50+ Ai and whole server team up and clear it
If you can donate the money to run a server capable of this please do. This would require a huge amount of resources to run, and can you imagine the client side lag of them fighting etc.
12 hours ago, Designated Survivor said:Maybe we switch map in future to Tanoa? if u not done that map already?
we have a PvP tanoa map however this is a new server we could build but switching it out with the current server would limit new and current players from joining.
12 hours ago, Designated Survivor said:I also like to see more random events in server like weather storms etc..or more Might have to rethink about this haha.
Our PvE Reborn server has this plus zombies, it adds a certain element that a few players don't like.
12 hours ago, Designated Survivor said:Maybe limited bases!! New people must join others and team up and do missions! etc. must have down safe with own pin etc..?
The server has a cleanup script in place so that bases that are left are removed.
18 minutes ago, SMACKDATAS (Shawn) said:I'd like to see the AI on missions have Anti-aircraft weapons so that helicopters can't just sit far out range of most rifles and easily mop up the mission. It would would be more of a challenge if the harder missions had this ability of the AI to shoot down aircraft with RPGs or SAMs.
This is something we can look into but it may annoy players in unarmed helis getting lock ons and shot down for flying just a bit too close to a mission trying to land at their base.
-
Due to the size of files around 50+GB, transitioning the files across would of caused issues with creating and using the cluster with the new server. Therefore a wipe would have caused less of a headache on both ends, I apologize for the inconvenience of having to start the grind over.

OGG is having an upgrade!!
So the next week is going to be very busy so please keep an eye on the forums and this post especially.
We are moving Box 2 (Anything with the 69.195.153.162 ip) to a new upgraded machine.
This move will take place next Complete
The new ip will be 208.94.244.242, this means the servers will go to the following ip's:
Arma 3 PvP: 208.94.244.242:2322 Complete
Ark: 208.94.244.242 Complete
Life is Feudal has been changed from its old ip to 208.94.244.242:28000. More Details: https://old-guys-gaming.com/forum/index.php?/topic/653-new-server/
Teamspeak will also be moving 04/26/17 06:00 CST 12:00 BST
For Teamspeak the current server will remain live until the 04/28/17 with a poke message with the new address. Be sure to change your bookmarks etc.
Finally Box 1 will be getting an upgrade in the first week of April, this will result in both Arma 3 PvE servers (208.94.243.90 ip's) being unavailable for up to 4 hours Complete we will try and do this to have as low as an impact as possible.
We will try our best to make sure everything runs smoothly however there are risks so please be patient while we carry out the switches and to make sure if you find a problem to report it to an admin or under the help desk on the forum.
More Details may follow so please make sure you read the forums regularly.
Regards

A3 launcher can sometimes be indecisive, I will sometimes get pings showing 500 when its actually ~100. All Arma servers are hosted in the same place so ping should roughly the same. Is this the actual ping you get in game?
