One Life Event Servers?

[Silver Fox]

Are there any servers, from Europe, that make this kind of events?
Any clans that might promote this kind of events in their servers?

I'd like to know, as I've always thought about this. How cool and immersive would be to participate in a match where you have 1 life ONLY???
I don't know, but I feel like in public matches, as fun as they can be, sometimes they can also be extremely frustrating. And for me, a "one life event" match, would bring way more immersion and realism to the game, as if you could experience it in a way much much deeper of fidelity and difficulty.

I even imagined a server that would run only this kind of matches/events. But... I know, I know. I realised the problem straight away: what happens after you die? Do you stay in the server, as a spectator? Do you get kicked out of the server? Because, I can see people giving hints to their team about enemy positions straight away, if they stay in the server. That's for sure!!! lol

So, maybe getting kicked out is the solution? Would this be too harsh and people wouldn't be interested in playing there? Could it be possible even to make a server like this? Could this become a popular server one day and people would actually play the game as it is really intended to be, and play it seriously? Thoughts on that please...

Join a clan that plays minimal one life events.

It's not actually one life. You are limited to an agreed number of respawns.

Usually, 3-5 dependant on the rules on that night on the plans etc..

They use PSRM, however, there are no events at the moment due to the recent update breaking stuff.

The event organisers are awaiting an update to the SDK before creating more events.

These events are usually weekly and carried on even after PG stopped development in 2023.

The link is to the PSRM discord channel. They have a clan recruitment channel.

As Frank Machin states, it's the clans that play and organize the 1 life events. So it's best to seek out which ones might be recruiting.

To answer some of your questions and elaborate on what Frank has said, the 1 life events typically use PSRM (Post Scriptum Realism Mod) which tweaks game elements and functionality to be more realistic. Some examples are no zoom in ADS, maps only show friendlies within 50m, no squad chat only local. It also gives control to the admin to run the match, spawn vehicles, alter weather and time etc.. Radios must be used to chat with someone outside local range. PSRM also lets players pick the kits they are assigned before the match starts.

The matches are typically played as part of a campaign. As stated by Frank, it's not really a 1 life event but limited respawns called out in waves. Each side will get x number of waves to respawn. If a player dies, they have to wait (stay dead) until the next respawn wave is called. Since there's no squad chat so you can't cheat when you're dead. The admin can fly around and make sure everyone is playing by the rules of the campaign.
