Hi Folks,

I wanted to be polite and explain why the server hasn't been up for months. It sort of fizzled out after we added the password. The password is still necessary so that's not going to change, but I am willing to launch the server on a "by request" basis.

For that to happen, simply message me or log into my ts at 76.94.168.23:9990 and ask me directly.

It can be lots of fun with the right group of people, so don't hessitate to ask...you won't be bugging me. I'm a carreer gamer like you and I understand that the U.S. server list is pathetic. So just ask and you shall receive :)

These changes were made based on feedback we received from you folks:

1. Civilians and Suicide Bombers are in (we will try this for awhile and see if it increases the fun factor.

2. The number of enemy AI soldiers per player is reduced by 2. This is about a 20% reduction across the board. The server was handling it fine, but it proved to be excessive, especially for a small squad.

3. The number of enemy vehicles is slightly reduced and their respawn times reduced as well. Same reason.

3. The ShacTak Interact Client Side (@STHUD) mod key is now accepted by the server if you choose to run it.

This is not a change, but worth noting because it was mentioned....Sound mods such as JSRS are client side and should have no effect on you're ability to connect. Let us know if you have a problem and we'll take the time install a server key anyway.

Again, thanks from the FOF team for your membership and your support, as we work together to build a great community from scratch. :)

I've never wanted to really "admin" a server. The idea is that players either want to play or they don't and we have a system for filtering out the people we would rather not play with. Long story short...the main server is password protected now by an entrusted few and available only to people who know and can vouch for newcomers. We're sorry if you didn't make that list but possibly you weren't here when the decision was made on 7/21/16. Opening up the server to the public proved to be a mistake based on the people we encountered. If you're cool, play well with others and actually play the game, we'll love to play with you in the future. Otherwise, good luck in your search for a new group. We would love to see everyone find a good home even if it's not here.

We are a new community with the goal of bringing gamers together who enjoy simulations as much as we do. For now we have started with a dedicated server running the game-mode insurgency with a limit of 20 slots. Should your interest warrant expansion, we will increase our player slots to accomodate a larger audience. We welcome the players that like to enjoy games with others and keep it fun for everyone. Thank you for joining us and welcome again!
