Official Bohemia Interactive KOTH servers

[Lerick]

What happened to them? I've been inactive from Arma 3 for a bit now and i come back to finding out that Bohemia interactive shut down their official servers for KOTH?

What was the logic behind this? When i was playing it activly they were almost constantly full. I see official servers that have no one on them and they are still up. Why would they shut down their most active servers?

[Creeper]

I'd like to know too, make no sense

It makes me even more annoyed that i farmed quite a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on the Official servers so i was a decently high level and had good guns, but now all that progress is gone due to whatever ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reason

Ah, the woes of KOTH servers getting shut down. I think this is a wise time for you to go explore other gamemodes.

Thats based on opinion

Of course, but opinions are founded upon a number of systems. Moofin seems to be founding his opinion off of metrics, community behavior, and comparison. Anyone else could be founding their opinions on pure feelings. I personally dislike the gamemode, I find it poorly designed, and so I massively prefer CTI missions like Insurgency and Liberation.

But of course, that is only my opinion.

All KOTH servers use the same profileNamespace variable meaning you keep your ranking and money on every server

Any game mode in a game like arma that requires you to grind for items is puss, koth is puss... where the f'k are the great pvp gamemodes of arma2?

They were destroyed, by the sith King Of The Hill. Being honest, KOTH is horribly designed. The 'meta' revolves around men running around with machine guns, sniper scopes, rocket launchers, and Level V armor because they can, and because the stamina system is too forgiving.

Co40 Domination TvT had it exactly right. It required strategy, coordination, and skill. If you and your team didn't have all of those three, you would get curb-stomped.

Dear KoTH players,

As of yesterday, many of you noticed and asked what's happened to the Bohemia Interactive hosted KOTH servers.

The KOTH servers were initially being hosted in order to help test and locate multiplayer bugs. After that the servers started taking off and did quite well. This was fortunate and unfortunate at the same time. While it was an honour to be hosted by Bohemia Interactive, it hurt the player numbers for the other official communities.

This was a big downside for us, we were burdened with doing all the Admin work (Ban, Kicks, Appeals, Profile restores) All done by Admins from other communities along with a couple independent ones. Due to that we were impacting upon our own numbers, doing extra work but at the same time hurting our own respective communities.

We still love you guys and understand certain aspects of the official servers (HC Servers) will be missed. Have no fear we have already replaced those servers with servers from different communities.

Thanks for the news, Sams. Seems they made a bold call there.
