Welcome to the forums, the most toxic part of Olympus Dont get too addicted like most of the people here, have fun!

I mean even with these numbers, im still not closing down S2. I know that Olympus can handle the pop for both if we played the right cards. Seeing the new player count for the last 7 days, and even last few weeks shows we definitely get some traction just dont hold the retention. Which I spoke to @Fraali and @Mako about a few days ago, so we started thinking up some ideas to keep new players on Olympus. Hopefully what we got planned will stick.

I am? Thats wild, cause those numbers are public. Lets take a look Server 1: Public Link with stats: https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/arma3/7991938?serverRank=7D&playerCount=7D&uniqueFirst=7D Amount of UNIQUE new players in the last 7 days - 968, averaging it at about 138 new players daily Amount of TOTAL players online in the last 7 days - 4,494, averaging about 642 players a DAY Server 2: Public Link with stats: https://www.battlemetrics.com/servers/arma3/226555?uniqueFirst=7D&serverRank=7D&playerCount=7D Amount of UNIQUE new players in the last 7 days - 101, averaging it at about 14 new players daily Amount of TOTAL players online in the last 7 days - 1,021, averaging about 145 players a DAY Now just looking at these numbers alone... I should realistically close server 2. But im not. Quit coming at me when you have no information or even look at the stats itself. Dont know where this #SaveServer2 stuff came from considering we did nothing to it and did not announce anything about it. Keep in mind this is from Battlemetrics, so I cant manipulate anything.

Honestly this^ Nobody wants to play on an empty server. The crazy part about this statement is, if I listened to majority of the community then there wouldnt be a S2 at all. 80% of people have been begging for it to be shut down, and I refuse. Bet you if I did a poll shutting it down completely would be the winner, yet S2 still stands. I even gathered some of my own stats for each server that would prove these statements wrong. Between playtime, new players joined, and average player count on each server. You would be mind blown with the numbers if/when I was to share them. I dont cater to any gangs either, and you know this. If I did, you'd see a whole lot of different results. Locking this thread, if you got any genuine concerns or questions my PM's are open.

What? Lmao. I don’t see a future with Olympus having priority slots on Arma 3. Maybe if arma 4 ever came out, but def not for arma 3.

This ^ Also, S2 ain’t going anywhere nor did we make any changes. If we were to make changes, we’d announce it. Today was the only “experimental” day I had where I wanted to see the difference in pop if I opened it *literally* an hour later. The other few days we lowkey forgot to manually turn it on cause life took over for everyone that has the capability. Nobody being left in the dry, just exploring potential options. Nothing is set or even planned for S2 as it stands.

As well as if you have any questions our support team is always welcome to help you out in TeamSpeak Welcome to the server!

If someone breaks a rule, report it. Idk where you hear I support rule breaking. Only person I support breaking the rules is myself kavala usually doesn’t stay in tact when I login A smart lad We try not to be with a stick up our ass when it comes to small rdm or vdm bans. Unless the person is a total asshat or has been breaking a lot of rules in a short period of time.

I believe @Tech added the option to select the old notification system in case the new one wasn’t favorited. If he didn’t then he forgot and I’ll lock him in the base-... I mean ask him to do it nicely

Due to popular demand, starting on the next update in November, Server 2 will be closed during non peak times. Server 2 will always be a server on Olympus and will not go anywhere, ever. However we will be keeping it locked during non peak times. If pop shows its needed to be open earlier, we will do that as well. Im making this post ahead of time to allow people to make any changes they want to make in regards to housing and items. HOWEVER, to those that main Server 2, with runs and housing/gang sheds, we are working on implementing a system that allows you to access your Server 2 properties/inventories while on Server 1. Once its figured out, we will update you guys on that. New times: Weekdays: 5:30 PM EST - 5:30 AM EST Weekends: TBD, however it is likely going to be earlier. Maybe opening around 2-3, will update this post when we figured it out. These times are temporary and are subject to change. We want to see how this will go for the next month or so. I anticipate to have S2 open all the time during the holidays. FAQ's from the last closing: No you are not doomed/will not lose money with this No you dont lose your items No your deed wont expire on houses Yes we are going to figure out a way for S2 to use their stuff/properties on S1 No S2 isn't going down permanently Yes times can be adjusted if we see fit

Physical classes are 10x better. Not only does it make your life easier, but you also get actual social interaction instead of sitting at home all day.

There may be a lot of things that I can say recently I disagree with @Mr GOAT on, with the drama and everything. But if there's one thing ill applaud is his care for Olympus. You may only see certain things he has done that you may or may not like, but behind the scenes he was always on top of things as both chief and admin, being exceptionally great in both departments. He has definitely helped bring the sAPD back into good shape ever since his return, and left it in a very good standing. He was not removed, he quit because of disagreements he had as of recent and decided to step away. So whoever started this "he was fired" rumor needs to start getting their information straight from the source.

u smell

Im glad someone finally read what I said... its almost like some people here read only what they want to read... ffs

Well when I was approached regarding it, they stated it was to specifically balance the civ vs apd numbers, instead of having a perma 25 stacks of cops. If you see/feel that this ability is abused in the future, feel free to hit up the chiefs and they will handle it appropriately im sure.

Honestly, im gonna have to disagree with you on this one chief. As of recent, ive noticed the sAPD have been more then fair with players and the balance aspect of things. A prime example would be how as soon as we announced the S2 downtime, they approached me to make a change for federal events in order to give Civs a better chance. TLDR the change states the a sAPD member can split off cops from an event in order to limit the cops responding and give civs a chance.

Its only till monday... lol?

Tbh we didn’t think about the time zones. We’re just testing some new performance updates for s1 with a full server. If servers show to fill earlier then anticipated we will adjust the times for the next few days. You guys are still free to play on S1, just won’t have access to your houses obviously.
